Ethical Questions of a Publisher — To Sell or Not to Sell

Ethical Questions: Should I sell a controversial book? Cover of the book, Favorable Incompetence: Shining a Light on 9/11. Click on cover to find out more.

Sometimes, ethical questions come upon us suddenly. A few weeks ago, I promoted two new books I had written, Dirt Ordinary (conspiracies), and Favorable Incompetence (9/11). I’m still attempting to get the hang of this marketing game.

I knew that sales comes with its own measure of bumps and bruises. As a writer, I’ve experienced my own share of rejections. I learned in college to thrive on it. Learning only comes by exposure, and frequently that exposure includes rejection. Marketing is no different.

On Twitter a couple of different individuals made a big deal about selling a book on 9/11. “Evil! How dare you!” And, “You’re no better than the perpetrators.” Slam! Suddenly, I was facing an ethical question that took me by surprise. Should I sell my book or give it away?

Charging money for a book? Sacrilege! Well, not exactly. Charging money about a recent tragedy—that’s the apparent sacrilege.

Naturally, writing a book about some distant and ancient war would not be sacrilege. “Sure, you can charge anything you want for that tragedy, but don’t you dare touch my tragedy.”

Am I reading this correctly?

One Twitter member said that he knew the truth of 9/11 and that I should give away the book for free. I’ve given away lots of my writing. In some respects, I’ve spread myself pretty thin, writing for nearly twenty of my own websites, on topics from education to astronomy, and the Atlantis myth to computer programming.

I asked that Twitter member who knew the 9/11 truth if he had written a book on the subject, but he did not reply. I wanted his free book to see what truths he really knew. But apparently he did not take the time to write a book. So, he hoards his “truths,” keeps them to himself and deprives us of his knowledge. I suppose he thinks his time is too valuable to work for weeks or months on a book and then to give it away.

Yet, I knew before writing the book that I would not become rich by writing and selling it.

Ethical Questions versus a Perception of Value

Ethical Questions: How many books sold here should be given away for free? Bookshop in Much Wenlock, UK Photo: MichaelMaggs (CC BY-SA 3.0) via Wikipedia.org. Contrast and brightness enhanced.

All too often, people treat free things with disdain. It’s almost as if those free items are worthless. Even if those free items satisfy a specific need, the sense remains that it didn’t cost anything, so why worry about maintenance or other care.

I’ve heard examples of products or services that were repackaged (renamed with new descriptions) and given a hefty price, that sold as if they were wildly popular. Free quite often means “worthless;” and something with a price tag can be “valuable.”

When an entrepreneur wants to sell something, sometimes they will give away items to sweeten the deal. They fix a price tag on those items, and make the freebie seem more valuable. Now, you don’t have to pay for this, and this, and this; you get them all free, when you purchase this item at a heavily discounted price. Wow! What a value.

But it’s all smoke and mirrors. It’s all in the perception induced by words and opinion.

In order to keep the lights on, pay for the web host, keep the body alive with food and shelter, money is needed. If a book that tells valuable truths about a tragedy can help make people more wise, would not that be something of value? Would not the author of such wisdom deserve a small reward for their work and care? Among the ethical questions we could ask, is it fair for someone to demand that such a work be given to them for free?

Beyond Ethical Questions

Ethical Questions: Should this produce be given away for free? Produce market, La Boqueria, Barcelona, Spain. Photo: Dungodung (PD) via Wikipedia.org.

Ethical questions would disappear in a perfect world. It would be nice to live in a world where money didn’t exist. That is the ideal. Everyone makes products and services available and always gives them away. No one hoards products or resources. They take what they require and give away what they don’t need. How could this ever happen? Everyone would need to eliminate self-concern and to live by a code of unconditional love, requiring nothing in return for their generosity.

The result of such an altruistic society would be an end to all wars, crimes and evil. No one would ever steal, because they don’t think of themselves, but only of the needs of others. No one would lust for power. No one would ever murder, because they value the lives of others, including those of their enemies, if such ever existed.

But we live in a me-me-me world that is reaching a critical mass of selfishness or separation. Psychopaths rise to positions of power and turn murder into conquest, and turn theft into “divine right.”

Should I sell a book of insights and wisdom, even if it concerns a tragedy many of us witnessed? For me, if the price tag offends anyone, I would recommend to them not buying it. But if anyone remains curious to learn, then any price might not be too high, so long as we have the ability to pay that price.

Flu Vaccine Hoax — Putting Profits Ahead of Health and Safety

Flu vaccine hoax. Hypodermic syringe Photo: Wellcome Trust (CC BY 4.0) via Wikimedia.org.

Calling it a flu vaccine hoax may sound a bit harsh, I know. But bear with me. It’ll become far more clear after you learn some facts.

The capitalist model is one based upon selfishness. It’s incredibly logical, but not very intelligent. But it lacks far more in compassion. When the focus is on profits and only profits, a lot is lost along the way—things like longevity, infrastructure, kindness, loyalty and the like.

This is especially problematic in the Medical Industry. I almost wrote “health industry,” but that would have been a misnomer. Today’s Medical Industry has very little to do with health and everything to do with maintaining diseases. I dare you to say the word “cure” to so-called health workers. Claiming to have a cure has been made illegal. This concept is especially important in the flu vaccine swindle. A cure would mean no one would ever need another shot.

Imagine, if you will, a car mechanic who rides with you every day, making sure that your automobile is running poorly, but still running, nonetheless. Occasionally, because of the poor performance, something breaks. And aren’t you glad you have your mechanic with you? This happens far more frequently than if the car were operating at peak performance. This is because of residue buildup, poor lubrication and other errors in proper health maintenance. Why would the mechanic do this? Because it means a full-time job. Curing any of the problems would mean that the mechanic would be out of work.

Some might comment that this view of the world is overly simplistic. I have to agree. Some doctors actually care. Many are deluded into thinking that they’re actually doing good. And nearly all doctors do some good from time to time, except with the flu vaccine fraud.

Flu Vaccine Hoax

Flu vaccine hoax. Flulaval insert admits that vaccine has not been tested. Click on image to view full size.

If you do some digging, you’ll find out that flu vaccines are created newly each flu season. How do the vaccine manufacturers know the shot will work? They don’t!

The vaccine insert for Flulaval states, “…there have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL.” In other words, it’s untested.

But worse, most flu vaccines contain thimerosal—a mercury-based preservative. Mercury? The heavy metal toxin? Yes! That’s the one. Ever since thimerosal was first used in vaccine production, it has never been adequately tested, but they continue to use it, because… well, because they’ve always done it that way. In a way, the flu vaccine hoax is like the poultry industry’s use of arsenic in chicken feed. For years, the FDA denied this fact, but after they admitted its use, they declared it safe. Arsenic-laced feed has been used since the 1940s to make chickens plumper. I had not realized this until I ate native (natural) chicken here in the Philippines. The American government used to declare cigarettes safe. And in the 1950s, radiation was safe enough to use in television commercials. I pity the poor actors. Such is the nature of the flu vaccine hoax.

Manufacturers Protected in Their Flu Vaccine Hoax

The manufacturers have been protected from lawsuits for something like 40 years. This means that they could dump dishwater in the vaccine batch and no one could sue them for damages, wrongful death or for any other reason. The companies have no motivation to test for safety or to ensure efficacy.

Why the big push to sell flu vaccines?

One reason is that there is a far bigger market than for all the other vaccines put together. If every American citizen got inoculated with their mystery juice every year, that would mean, this flu vaccine hoax would generate billions of dollars for the Medical Industry.

Manufacturers need the protection, because there is so much junk in vaccines, thousands of children have serious or fatal reactions. Depending on the vaccine, it might have in it thimerosal (mercury), formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), aluminum, human and animal DNA, and much, much more.

So, they don’t know if their current flu vaccine works. It contains all manner of contaminants and toxins. And they’re making billions of dollars off of the product. What selfish corporation wouldn’t jump at the chance to commit such a fraud? Immunity, captive audience and tons of profit. This flu vaccine hoax puts new meaning in the term “cash cow.”

Now, state governments have started to make vaccination for things like MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) mandatory. Will this happen for the flu, also? The push has already started. Many health providers are making flu vaccines a part of their job requirements for employees.

Big Reasons to Avoid the Flu Vaccine Hoax

If you eat good food without all of the modern toxins that food manufacturers put in their products, you stand a far better chance of avoiding the flu. But even if you get it, your body will more likely fight it off more effectively. Side effects can be as uncomfortable as the flu itself. And some people actually get the flu, very likely because of the vaccine. So, the protection is seemingly less than nil.

I know what flu feels like. I would much rather ride out a flu than to put some mystery juice in my arm on the off chance I might get the disease.

Some researchers have begun to find that humans are far healthier and stronger if they get an occasional illness. It strengthens the immune system. Pampering the body with all manner of poisonous protections seems to make it weaker. Like keeping your children out of the sun, so they become vitamin-D deficient. Oops!

This flu vaccine hoax is only the tip of a very large iceberg of corruption. For instance, sunscreen to protect against sunburn? What if the petrochemical basting is the cause of most skin cancers? Who is going to test these products for safety? We can’t trust the government agencies to do this. Why? Because the agency execs used to work for the manufacturers! And certainly, we can’t trust the manufacturers.

Flu vaccine hoax has its roots in the Rockefeller family. Shown here are John D. Rockefeller Sr and Jr.

The flu vaccine hoax isn’t the only scam in town, but it seems to be the biggest. It’s not safe, very likely not effective, may one day be mandatory and may actually do more harm than good. There may be a very logical reason behind this apparent lunacy. The Rockefellers, who a century ago shaped modern medicine in their own image—petrochemicals—are big fans of population control. What better way to reduce the excess population than to make them think the instrument of their death is “safe and effective?” If you don’t believe the Rockefellers would do such a thing, just read David Rockefeller’s Memoirs. In it, he proudly proclaims to have conspired “against the best interests of the United States” for years. Imagine that—flaunting his treason. Independent investigator, James Corbett, created a video on Rockefeller Medicine, showing how this corrupt family has exploited the suffering of others for their own enrichment.

This flu vaccine hoax fits a pattern of greed that goes back to the beginning of humanity. Psychopaths know the difference between right and wrong, but don’t care.

And because these psychopaths have made the idea of “conspiracies” equivalent to fantasy, many people remain incapable of considering the fact that they are being tricked. Perhaps it is true that it’s easier to fool a person than to convince them that they’ve been fooled. Such is the nature of ego, perhaps the most common ingredient in this flu vaccine hoax.

Abortion — When Murders Become Legal

Abortion is one of those crimes that has been made ironically legal. The marketing campaign was nothing short of slick. “A woman’s right to choose,” was hoisted as a banner of freedom. We can now murder with impunity.

To distance themselves from the stench of “murder,” the marketers changed the definitions of words. “Unborn baby” became “fetus.” “Human being” became “non-human” nuisance.

Orwellian forces have been busy. Now, American wars are “peacekeeping” actions. Super intelligence in discriminating tastes have now been lost, because “discrimination” was shackled with a far darker meaning. And conspiracies are ridiculed as fantasy, even though there are at least 42 million new conspiracies starting every day, all year long and every year.

Abortion is a Murder of Convenience

When murders became legal on January 22, 1973 (Roe v Wade), we were all in danger of being declared “inconvenient.” The Supreme Court became an agent of evil, if they had not already arrived there.

Women who want to be able to choose, feel that this “thing” invading their body is an inconvenience. They want sex, but no responsibility. They want to kill without consequences. Perhaps not surprisingly, the globalist psychopaths who pushed this attitude and helped it grow, also promote a fear of global warming in an ongoing Ice Age. That one program could kill off 7 Billion people they consider to be inconvenient. By the time people wake up to their deceptions, it may be too late to do anything about it.

Forgiveness for Abortion and the Psychopaths Who Push It

Messy child eating pasta. Thank goodness, no abortion here. David Tribble (CC BY-SA 3.0) via Wikipedia.org.

Once you see the crimes and the blood drenched hands, it’s easy to become outraged. Psychopaths know the difference between right and wrong, but don’t care. Selfishness is their god, money, their food and power, the air they breathe.

But we only fan the flames of their selfishness by being selfish—by fighting their selfishness with more self-concern.

What is needed is a different attitude than the one which created these problems. We need to assume the viewpoint of being responsible for their crimes. The seeds of their desire are alive in us. We have to acknowledge that desire and convert it to selfless, unconditional love. This is what Gautama Siddhartha did 2500 years ago. This is what Yehoshua of Nazareth did nearly 2000 years ago. They were fearlessly confident and humbly generous. They took responsibility for the sins of others. That’s the superior viewpoint, but we also need to be humble like them. We need to forgive, even when they cackle at how naive we are. They are the lost and blind. We have to rise above their insanity, if we are to provide any meaningful help.

Too Little Compassion — Muslims Didn’t Do 9/11

Terrorists? No, these little girls are Syrian refugee children in Lebanon. Do you have too little compassion for them? Photo: Trocaire of Ireland (CC BY 2.0) via Wikipedia.org.

There’s too little compassion in the world today. Fear seems to have taken hold and people are going crazy protecting themselves. And there it is—the dirty word, the source of all evil—self-concern. This is the opponent to compassion.

Too Little Compassion for Refugees

The recent controversy over Syrian refugees is one potent example of too little compassion. They have been “invading” Europe and being welcomed into the United States and other countries by their respective governments. But the people have been saying, “Not here! Keep them out. Dirty Muslims, associated with ISIS/ISIL/Al Qaeda/CIA.” They didn’t use these exact words, but the intent or attitude was similar.

One of my cousins was even spouting this venom on Facebook, and she grew up Southern Baptist (Christian). Perhaps Christian in name only, because she was exhibiting an unreasonable fear, selfishness and too little compassion for people in need.

One post on Twitter showed Michael Moore, activist and documentary producer, saying that he would allow some refugees in his own home. The person posting the picture, however, ridiculed Moore for showing compassion. It seems we live in a new Dark Age, where the hearts have grown cold and our eyes dulled by the drug of self-concern.

Too Little Compassion for Muslims

About a year ago, I saw a news piece on Americans being surveyed to see if they approved of the CIA using torture. Of course, many of those being tortured are Muslims, those scary people who supposedly did 9/11. An overwhelming majority approved of torture, according to the survey. In today’s frightened world, the government doesn’t need evidence to incarcerate—only suspicion. Innocent people have been jailed on such suspicions.

Because of their lack of compassion, Americans have been willing to give up their constitutional protections to gain so-called government protections against boogeymen.

Fear is driving people to reject care and empathy and to embrace societal imprisonment and lack of privacy. It is even driving Christians to become non-Christians.

One of my favorite statesmen, UKIP’s Nigel Farage of the EU parliament, has tainted his standing with me over his negative statements regarding the refugees. I understand the concerns of violence by Muslim immigrants, but this only shows a failure of the system and too little compassion by people in the effected countries.

The fact that people depend and rely on the system (government) to do their compassion is part of the problem. The problems could be solved with more compassion—helping immigrants acclimate and learn the new culture, helping them learn the language, find jobs and more. Self-concern only separates us and makes us cold and heartless.

Too Little Compassion for Those Who Didn’t Do 9/11

Too little compassion for Syrian refugees passing through Slovenia to Germany. Photo: Robert Coltič (CC BY 3.0) via Wikipedia.org.

Not long after 9/11, a Sikh gas station owner was shot and killed in Phoenix, Arizona by a young white man who wanted to do his part for fighting back against Muslims for doing 9/11. The biggest problem with his crime is that the businessman was not Muslim and had nothing to do with 9/11. Muslims are not the only ones who wear turbans.

Looking back at the news feeds from 9/11, and the days that followed, it is truly amazing how quickly the event was blamed on Muslims. Within minutes!

In the years leading up to 9/11, the CIA fast-tracked visas for Muslim fighters to get them into the United States. One consulate visa officer refused to go along with this illegal operation and was subsequently let go. When the government wont obey its own laws, you have to know that something is rotten in America.

The supposed 19 hijackers were patsies, protected by the FBI for weeks prior to 9/11. Field agents wanted to detain and question the supposedly future, would-be hijackers, but headquarters told them to stand down.

So, 9/11 was not done by Muslims. The fact that three buildings in New York were prepared for weeks or months prior to 9/11 shows that 9/11 was an inside job. All three buildings came down through the path of greatest resistance. Not once did a collapsing building hesitate at each floor to do the work necessary to break the connections; and to pulverize the concrete, desks, phones, computers and other furniture. Not once did the building collapse hesitate to push all that concrete, office and human dust into the air. Each building fell with increasing acceleration which means that it did no significant work as it fell. Something else broke the connections, pulverized the concrete and ground to a fine powder the bodies of the victims.

And “America’s Mayor,” Rudy Giuliani, committed felony destruction of crime scene evidence by starting the clean-up on the evening of 9/11.

And the top military officers responsible for the massive security failures and deaths on 9/11, all received promotions instead of courts martial. Inside job, skillfully covered up and then blamed on Muslims. And the American public, suffering from too little compassion, went along with the Corporate media’s portrayal of Muslims as the perpetrators.

The Cure for Too Little Compassion: Unconditional Love

The governments will continue to sneak in terrorists to stir up the fears of citizens everywhere. We should not be surprised by this. It will continue to happen so long as governments are owned by the Corporations. This allows them to gain even more control so long as we knee-jerk react to the fear with which they are prodding us.

The way out of the madness of too little compassion is to start removing our own self-concern and turning our attention outward toward loving others unconditionally.

It was once said that the world will be left to its own devices when the rescue mission is done. Those who are left behind will fall into wailing and gnashing of teeth—fear and sadness versus anger and rage. This is talking of the victim-perpetrator cycle where forgiveness and love are completely forgotten, and self-concern becomes the rule. Pure evil reigns and hell on Earth conquers all that is left.

Not a pretty picture, this. But you have within you the ability to change that bleak future. Find all the ways you can off-load self-concern and your own too little compassion. Convert it into concern and kindness for others without any need for anything in return. The more you don’t even need to feel good for having helped others, even if anonymously, the closer you will get to true compassion and perfect love.

Questions? I still have plenty of questions of my own, but I’ve learned a lot and happy to share. I’ve seen miracles that would startle you, even if you believe in them.

I won’t be here forever, so ask your questions, now. I’m happy to help in any way I can.

Promoting Global Warmth — Climate Change in the Right Direction

For the last few weeks, I’ve been working doggedly to finish a new website that means a lot to me: Global Warmth dot Org.

This entire topic is a bit of a contradiction for me. I’ve always been one to like things on the cool side. I grew up in West Texas and wilted on those days when the sun beat down on the semi-arid Llano Estacado (Spanish for “staked plain”). Despite this aversion to heat, I ended up living in Southern California which is always warmish. Then, for ten years, I lived in Phoenix, Arizona, where the daytime temperature in summer sometimes reaches up to 120 °F (49 °C). Covered parking is rare, and cars parked for any length of time out in the sun become greenhouse ovens. After leaving Phoenix, I moved to the tropics for more heat and lots of humidity.

So why would I be promoting global warmth instead of global cooling?

I suppose I could have made a lot of friends and could have fit right in with the masses by promoting a fear of global warmth and playing Al Gore’s sad song about polar bears not having enough ice. Why go against the prevailing wind? I’m not doing this to be contrary. I’m doing it, because it’s right.

How can I be so sure? Because we live in an Ice Age and the last thing we want is to cool the planet in the midst of one. And the reason should be simple enough to understand. A return to Ice Age glacial cold could kill most of the humans on the Earth and could destroy civilization as we know it. There might need to be an alarm set on climate, but the media, governments and many quasi-scientific, now political agencies are pointing in the wrong direction.

So, what? I’m battling the climate alarmists with more alarm? Not exactly. I’m hoping to raise the flag of reason and common sense. I want people to wake up to critical thinking and not fall into a pit of knee-jerk emotionalism.

Big Reasons Why Global Warmth is Better than Global Cold

Some scientists think that the Holocene won’t end for another 50,000 years. They base their conclusions on Milankovitch cycles. While I believe in Milankovitch, I don’t think that’s the only factor they should be considering. The average length of an interglacial is about 11,000 years and we’re already at least 500 years overdue for a change, based on that average.

Cloud formation is another major factor, because clouds affect the overall temperature budget of the planet. One paper I read talked about life forming aerosols for clouds and being less capable of doing so under certain conditions. During those times, fewer clouds formed making the Earth far warmer, like during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum. Global temperatures may have been as much as 20 °C warmer than today.

Ironically for the global warmth fear mongers, the Earth did not melt down during that far warmer period. Also, ironically for the United Nations hype on “climate change,” carbon dioxide levels of about ten times what they are today (~4,000 ppmv) did not lead to runaway flame-out that they’re now predicting for today’s far cooler temperatures and far lower CO2 levels. Life did not cease to exist back in that super-greenhouse. For millions of years, life continued to exist and to thrive.

Some other scientists, led by Henrik Svensmark, agree that clouds are a vital part of the climate puzzle, but feel that solar wind is another factor in their formation. When solar wind becomes very strong, cosmic rays are pushed away, and clouds have a harder time forming without the cloud chamber effect of cosmic rays zipping through the upper atmosphere. They are still corroborating their hypothesis, but the hecklers are not making it easy. Science by ridicule has never been a strong suit for humanity. It’s all too much “dark age” mentality.

What remains clear, is that the science is not settled. Also clear is the fact that global warmth is far better than global cold. Why? Because we reside in an Ice Age and far closer to dangerous cold than we are to dangerous warmth. Life thrives in warmth and dies in the cold. I would hate to see civilization follow the wrong leader and dive off the cliff into another Ice Age glacial period.

Polar bear numbers have skyrocketed, because life thrives in warmth, despite Al Gore’s dire predictions. All life would benefit from more warmth. Here are some other reasons:

Global warmth means more evaporation, more water vapor and more rain.
Shrinking deserts and less dust, because there’s more rain.
Weaker storms and fewer of them. All storms depend on thermal potential. Melting the poles removes the greatest half of this equation.

Patterns in Climate Change — Global Warming Should Not Have Been a Surprise

Patterns in climate change can prove fascinating. I’m beginning to see why climate scientists love their work.

The last several days, I’ve concentrated on building my latest website—GlobalWarmth.org. It seems, as usual, that the work required is far more than originally anticipated. No complaints, though. It’s a labor of love and discovery.

Part of the joy of reviewing data over and over again is the growing sense of discovering what has already been discovered. I had long understood that there are patterns in climate change, but sometimes the implications of knowledge we’ve long had don’t readily make themselves apparent.

Take for instance, the following graph of climate data from NOAA.

Temperature chart from 1880-2010. The patterns in climate change are rather obvious. Click on the chart to view full size.

Notice how the graph trends downward from 1880 to 1910, then climbs upward from 1910 to 1940, then down slightly from 1940 to 1970, upward from 1970 to 2000 and leveling off after 2000. Each one of these ranges is approximately 30 years. The total up and down cycle is thus 60 years. The so-called “pause” that NOAA scientists were caught trying to erase by fudging data can clearly be seen as a natural extension of this 60-year cycle. The pattern in climate change, here, is clear to see.

Now, notice the angle of global warming from 1910 to 1940 compared to the angle from 1970 to 2000. They’re almost the same. The more recent seems a little steeper. Also the downward trend from 1940 to 1970 seems a bit shallower than the trend from 1880 to 1910. The following graph may give us part of the reason why this has happened.

Temperature and CO2 levels for last 10,700 years. The patterns in climate change reveal a 1000-year temperature cycle. Click on chart to view full size.

This shows a clear pattern of warm periods spaced about once every thousand years. This is based on ice proxies found at GISP2 in Greenland, but similar patterns have been found using other proxies elsewhere. And contrary to what some may claim, these warm periods were global in nature with data coming from both hemispheres. In the period from 1970 to 2000, we were in the upward trends of both the 60-year cycle and the 1000-year cycle. So, it should not have been surprising that we would have global warming during this period. When patterns in climate change tend to repeat like this, saying that man did one, but not the others seems a little suspicious.

Policy Based on the Patterns in Climate Change

I’m not a climate scientist, but I’ve studied science all my life. I have a degree, summa cum laude in the science of computer information technology. But even if I were a climate expert, you should not take my word for any of this. Each of us is an intelligent human being with an ability to investigate. Some are more gifted than others, but that is no excuse not to look, especially when humanity’s future is at stake.

I’ve heard many times in the last few years that we should do something to “prevent disaster.” And that it won’t hurt to do something on this, but it could hurt a lot if we don’t do anything. This is what is called the precautionary principle—doing something just in case. This sounds reasonable, but jumping off a cliff to avoid an oncoming truck is not nearly as good as climbing the hill on the other side of the road. Looking at the patterns of climate change and making the proper decision rests on proper understanding of those patterns. Direction has everything to do with outcomes. Cooling the planet in the midst of an ongoing Ice Age is not nearly as smart as warming the planet to end the Ice Age and to thaw out the world. This is because life thrives on warmth and dies in the cold.

We are far closer to dangerous cold than we are to dangerous warmth. A global cooling of –2 °C would give us another Little Ice Age. A global warming of +16 °C would take us to a balmy condition like the sharp spike in the Eocene called PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum). This 170,000-year spike in climate change history did come with its problems, but most of life on Earth did just fine. From all we can tell, we had massive global warmth, higher CO2 levels and no dangerous, runaway warming that cooked the planet. The Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction was another 4 °C warmer than PETM, but even that heat may not have been responsible for the deaths experienced then. It’s quite possible that the mass extinctions at the beginning of the Triassic Period were caused by poisoning, volcanic eruptions and meteor impacts. We don’t have enough information yet to know for certain. So, the bottom line is that we don’t yet know at what level warmth would become a danger.

Patterns in Climate Change that Show Global Warming is Good

First, let’s get the cooling side out of the way. Here’s what we can expect from a return to glacial conditions when the Holocene ends (and it’s already hundreds of years overdue):

Global cooling will cover vast areas of North America and Europe with glacial ice, destroying far more real estate than rising sea levels ever could.
Far less evaporation and thus far less rain.
Larger deserts and more of them.
More dust in the atmosphere.
Far fewer plants, more death and less food.

Warming gives us the following beneficial results:

More distance from dangerous glacial periods which kills life.
More evaporation and more beneficial rain.
Fewer deserts. In fact, one recent paper discovered that at a certain level of increased warmth and CO2, the Hadley Circulation which determines the domain of most deserts shrinks.
Far less dust in the atmosphere for healthier breathing.
More plants and more life. More food.

Miracles and Responsibility — Breaking Through the Ego Ceiling

Miracles and responsibility go together like a hand and glove. Without responsibility, miracles may well be impossible. Instinctively, I’ve known this for nearly four decades. But I did not know it well enough to talk about it with the clarity I now have.

In 2014, I had a lengthy, interesting and intelligent conversation with a brother of the Catholic priesthood. He was from Africa, originally, but had found life in America missing something. That something was a spiritual connection. To the dismay of his family, he joined the priesthood.

Though I did not agree with everything my African friend said, the details of our conversation opened several spiritual doors for me.

For one thing, I told him about my Miracle on Wilshire Boulevard—how in one moment, I was suffering rage and resentment for the assaults of six other drivers in Los Angeles rush hour traffic, and how in the next moment, I had forgiven them all and performed a “parting-the-sea” type miracle. That incident had given me a taste for what miracles required. It showed me what True Forgiveness is all about.

The Catholic brother had no problem with the miracle itself. What had him shaking his head in disagreement with me, concerned the notion that I had taken 100% responsibility for those other drivers and their assaults on me. He felt that such responsibility was an impossibility.

That conversation inspired me to write a book—Watered Down Christianity. I dedicated an entire chapter to that conversation.

It still puzzles me how a novitiate of the priesthood could not understand this simple idea. Yet, I had difficulty putting it into words. It took me writing that book and seven more months to settle into the relaxed knowledge I now possess.

What Miracles and Responsibility Have to Do With Each Other

I’m certain that most Christians would find it easy to agree with the idea that Christ had taken 100% responsibility for the sins of everyone on this planet. Why did he do that? What was his motive?

Purportedly, his motive was one of saving all of his friends on this world. But what does that mean? We’ve heard that those who want that salvation must first follow Christ. But we need to ask again, what does that mean? How does anyone “follow Christ?”

In hundreds of conversations, face-to-face and online, with Christians about this and similar topics, I’ve come to the conclusion that many of them have rather weak ideas about what is required to follow Christ. Some seem to feel that all one needs to do is to say the words with feeling, “I accept you, Jesus, as my personal savior.” And that’s it. One Christian in Phoenix, Arizona was so delighted that he had found Christ, he couldn’t resist telling me—a perfect stranger at my brother’s Christmas party. He was thrilled, because his minister had told him that he could do anything he wanted and still be saved. His salvation was permanent and irrevocable. I attempted to disabuse him of such nonsense and ended up making a scene at the party. My wonderful brother calmed me down, but even the thought of murdering someone could not dislodge his glee at being saved. But was he, really? And what does salvation mean?

For me, salvation means that you are headed in the right direction. If anyone decides to turn around and head in the opposite direction, they are no longer headed in the right direction. Instant revocation of salvation—not by any heavenly authority, but by the person’s individual decision.

Following Christ means being like him, doing the things he did and walking in the direction he walked—toward the light of love, humility, responsibility and fearless confidence.

This doesn’t mean that miracles and responsibility can only happen if we climb up on a wooden cross. No. It means that we must take responsibility for the sins of those around us as if we did those things. What my African friend seemed to miss is that Christ was able to take that kind of responsibility, because he had let go of all ego. Ego is what separates us. Ego is the notion that “I am better than you.” Ego is what Christ called the desire to be “First.”

The antidote for this is simple—humility. This attitude of humility allows the person to feel okay being last and to place the needs of others ahead of their own. This is part of that responsibility. And it’s a part of what True Love is all about.

Nearly half of the people I surveyed felt that brotherly love is the most important form of love. Half as many people placed romantic love next. But only about ten percent said that unselfish or altruistic love is the most important kind. Ninety percent did not “get it.” Ninety percent were not following Christ, at least on an intellectual level. If that many people don’t understand, likely a larger percentage have not yet accomplished true following.

Miracles and responsibility go hand-in-hand. My African friend did a great thing by giving up his secular life, but he still has lessons to learn. So do I.

Following Christ is all about doing as he did. We need to sacrifice the physical, egoistic self and take 100% responsibility for all of the evil that others do to us. That’s what Christ did. And that is what we must do in order to follow him.

What Kind of People Promote Global Cooling in an Ice Age?

Proponents of Global Cooling, President Obama, the United Nations and the Rockefeller family. Obama photo: Elizabeth Cromwell (CC BY-SA 3.0); David Rockefeller photo: TheRichest.com; iceberg photo: Knuand (CC BY-SA 3.0).

Who would ask such a crazy question?

Me, for one. For the last couple of decades, the United Nations and a lot of rich and powerful people have been pushing the idea of “fearing” warmth and cooling down the planet. With all their scientific advisers, they surely must know that the planet has been in an Ice Age for the last 2.6 million years. I’m certain that they remain aware of the “little” white things at the poles. That’s what defines our current Ice Age. Promoting global cooling while those white things persist is just asking for more white stuff.

These people are not goofballs or idiots, though promoting a fear of warmth in an Ice Age does sound pretty crazy. It’s almost as if they’ve convinced the hungry to fear food. Only, the poverty-stricken hungry don’t know they’re hungry.

Well, we’re in a poverty of warmth—a deep crevasse of cold. Our current, dangerous warming trend has only begun to move toward the edge of the valley in which we find ourselves. The thaw has begun, but they are calling it a “fever.”

I’ve written a lot about this in recent weeks. Why? Because it’s kind of important to all of humanity. It took me awhile to figure it out, but the professional salesmen (con men) have done a bang-up job selling rain boots to desert tribesmen. Clever, but not very ethical.

Global Cooling in an Ice Age?

The United Nations, the Rockefeller family, President Obama, Senator Bernie Sanders, Dr. Michael Mann and hundreds of others want us to stop the Ice Age thaw that has already started. They love global cooling. They must love the cold. They must think that cold is good for someone. But who? Could it be good for a few who have food stockpiled for when the farmlands of the world become permanently frozen? And they’re keeping it all for themselves?

We don’t know when the next glacial period could happen, but the Holocene interglacial is already at least 600 years overdue to end. Heck, it could be later this afternoon.

Global cooling will result in stronger storms and more of them. It will result in far less rain and more deserts.

When global cooling hits, the polar bears will have less food and less access to food, so their numbers will dwindle again, too.

But how will humans fare in severe global cooling?

The bulk of America’s corn comes from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and the two Dakotas. All of these areas will likely become permanently frozen, once the Holocene ends. Glaciation will cover most of Canada, but also cover many of the northern states of the USA.

Wheat production mainly comes from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Montana, Washington state and Oregon. Oklahoma and Texas might survive with some semblance of summers, but the other states will likely have very poor or nonexistent growing seasons.

With the grain belt of America out of commission, California might need to take up the slack. But wait, they’re suffering a major drought which will only deepen during a glaciation.

Global cooling is bad for plants, bad for business and bad for people.

Solution to Global Cooling

The solution to the global cooling problem is, of course, global warming. Contrary to popular myth, global warming is good for everything except rising oceans.

Global cooling—death, failed crops, scarce rain, bigger deserts, stronger and more frequent storms. Might not have to worry about floods and sea level will definitely fall.

Global warming—life, booming crops, abundant rain, smaller deserts, scarce and weaker storms. Floods might happen, because rain is abundant, and sea levels will rise, but slowly enough not to pose a great danger to human life.

What a choice! Anyone who chooses global cooling, move to Antarctica. The rest of will vote for life and prosperity.

The biggest barrier to meeting this global cooling solution is the current Ice Age. How do we end it?

Satellite reflectors to focus more warmth in the oceans around the two main ice caps—Greenland and Antarctica. This could result in sloppy, uncontrolled melting. Slicing and moving chunks of ice (as ice bergs) to the Sahara, Kalahari and Australia might help. How to slice up an ice cap? I’m sure we can come up with some ingenious methods. Manufacture black, plastic slabs to absorb sunlight, turning the surface of Greenland and Antarctica into black absorbers instead of white reflectors. Strategically placed, these could calve off large slabs of ice for delivery to the needed desert regions. Parked along the coasts, these icebergs could be progressively melted and siphoned off to create inland lakes or to replenish lakes that have seen better days, like Lake Chad in central Africa.

Who would pay for something like this?

If humanity is crazy enough to pay Carbon Taxes to achieve global cooling in an Ice Age, perhaps we can wake them up to the scam and they would willingly pay for the more reasonable warming and humanitarian water delivery program.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Too Big to Jail — Power Tends to Corrupt, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

Obama and Bush are perhaps too big to jail, but they remain only puppets doing their masters’ bidding. Obama Photo: Elizabeth Cromwell (CC BY-SA 3.0); Bush Photo: (PD); Jail Photo: Adam Jones PhD (CC BY-SA 3.0). All photos via Wikipedia.org.

“Too big to jail” is all about Lord Acton’s famous statement, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

There is great wisdom in what he said. But let us look more closely at the pieces of this wisdom.

For instance, upon what quality does “greatness” rest? How can his statement be true about “great men?” How can “bad” ever be equated to “great?”

Perhaps we admire fearlessness, because we admire a lack of self-concern. Heroes are born of such selflessness. But the psychopath is fearless for entirely selfish reasons. They see something they want, and if they’re cunning, they arrange their resources to protect their flank, and brazenly snatch the thing they most prize. Theft! Murder! Lies! These are the grist of their unholy mill. We admire their fearlessness and their ability to take action, but we despise their ruthless disregard for others.

The dialog about motives and outcomes has been muddied by pundits who work for the psychopaths. If enough confusion shrouds their crimes, then people will never see clearly what they’ve done. The criminals become “too big to jail,” but also too “great” to think they would ever deserve such treatment. They live in that rarified air where the gods exist. That’s the myth.

People have become too acclimated to government and having someone to whom to look up. When the Spaniards entered Incan lands, the people and their ruler were stunned by these men wearing armor and riding horses. They were overwhelmed by the noisy guns of death. The Incans outnumbered the Spaniards perhaps by a thousand-to-one, but, if they had been free-thinking individuals, they could have overwhelmed the Spaniards, stripped them of their armor and weapons and had horse meat for dinner. They could have spread the word that taking these outsiders is easy. All you have to do is be fearless.

I don’t condone violence. But we can win against the psychopaths, especially if we lose our own self-concern, if we stop buying Corporate products and services, and if we create our own economy separate from the debt-based system of corrupt dollars that is about to go bust from massive debt.

Too Big to Jail—Bankers

During the financial fiasco in 2008 and later, the criminal bankers were characterized as “too big to fail.” Thus, they were given $700 Billion to make their losses go away. What seem to have been missed in the Corporate News Media discussion is that these criminals were also “too big to jail.” But that misperception is a comfortable myth for these American criminals.

In Iceland, a similar financial meltdown occurred and they not only let the big banks fail, they jailed the criminal bankers. Even recently, they added more bankers to the roster of inmates. Iceland has rebounded nicely, despite the dire warnings against jailing their “elite.”

Too Big to Jail—Government Agency Execs

When someone in government is helping their corporate counterparts illegally, they are almost never jailed. In fact, I cannot think of an instance when such corrupt practices were followed by jail time. When the CDC’s chief executive buried concerns brought to her about a link between autism and MMR vaccines, she was not jailed for her corruption. No, she left the CDC and took a cushy job at one of the MMR vaccine manufacturers.

When FDA execs ignored the warnings of their scientists and rushed through approval of GMOs in the 1990s, they were making their former employers very happy. If you think they were not handsomely rewarded for their corruption, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you (kidding). But the FDA conflict of interest is not the only other instance of “too big to jail.”

When IRS executives targeted isolated groups for political reasons, they were overstepping their bounds and misusing their power. Jail? Not at all.

When then-Mayor Giuliani ordered the clean-up of the largest crime scene in American history, he was committing a felony on 9/11. As a former federal prosecutor, he could not even use the excuse that he did not know it was wrong. Felony destruction of crime scene evidence is a serious offense, but “America’s mayor” was too big to jail.

When NIST scientists committed scientific fraud in their report on the 9/11 collapse of the third building—WTC7—they didn’t go to jail. They were not even chastised for their crimes.

And when the top military officers responsible for the massive security failures and deaths on 9/11 were all given promotions instead of courts martial, this merely spits in the faces of the victims’ families and the rest of the world. That event was used as an excuse to launch multiple wars.

In a fair, transparent and honest world, many government agency executives and their corporate counterparts would go to jail for multiple lifetimes without hope of ever having parole. When tens of thousands of people die from prescription drugs and their dangerous side effects, the drug company executives and the government agency execs who approved those drugs should be serving multiple lifetimes in jail for their involuntary manslaughter.

Too Big to Jail—Corrupt Presidents and Congresspersons

When Tricky Dickey Nixon committed his crimes from the White House, he thought he was above the law. President Ford pardoned Dick Nixon and set a horrible precedent that effectively made presidents immune from prosecution. It made them unaccountable for their crimes.

When Ronald Reagan was elected, it seemed to some that finally we had a real man in the White House—an honorable man who would set things right. On day 69, the knight in shining armor was given a choice—die or allow the corruption. Then Iran-Contra happened and other shady operations. His vice president, Bush, Sr., embraced the corruption. It was under his watch at the CIA that Al Qaeda was born as an American operation. While Bush, Sr. was president, he let the world know about the New World Order, foreshadowing things to come on that September 11, 1990—exactly eleven years before the big event. And exactly 49 years after the Pentagon’s groundbreaking ceremony.

When President George W. Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq, he used that as comedy material, while thousands of American boys and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis were killed over that lie. Did Bush go to jail? No, he handed out more medals to the military officers who failed in their duties on 9/11. But signing unconstitutional legislation that shreds the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Bush should be serving several decades of jail time for his treason.

President Obama lied in his campaign promises, but that’s nothing new. The American public is now used to such realities. Why do they cheer, though? Don’t they know it’s all empty rhetoric. The promise to end the Iraq and Afghanistan wars on day one—and that we can take that to the bank. It’s all bankrupt words. Government transparency? How long did that last?

But when Obama betrayed his oath of office repeatedly, shredding the Constitution he swore to protect, invading other countries without Congressional approval, turning America into a tyrannical, Evil Empire, he should have been impeached, then arrested and thrown in jail for treason. With multiple counts of treason, Obama should be in jail for the rest of his life. Supporting the NSA illegal surveillance of American citizens? Renewing the un-Patriot Act, despite promises to end it? But presidents are “too big to jail.” Why? Who made this a rule?

Too Big to Jail—Psychopathic “Elite”

David Rockefeller is too big to jail. Rockefeller Photo courtesy TheRichest.com. Jail bars photo: Adam Jones PhD (CC BY-SA 3.0) via Wikipedia.org.

In David Rockefeller’s Memoirs, he proudly admitted to conspiring against the best interests of the United States for years. That’s treason, and he’s proud of it? He thinks that the United States should simply die and make way for the psychopath’s wet dream—the New World Order: a one-world government where there is no escape from their tyranny.

When Nelson Rockefeller was being vetted for his nomination as vice president during the Vietnam War, he was asked about one of his companies supporting the enemy. Ignorance was an acceptable excuse for someone who is too big to jail. For most everyone else, ignorance of the law and ignorance of your company’s actions is meaningless; you go to jail despite your ignorance.

These days, “climate change” fanatics like to accuse those who disagree with them as being “climate change deniers” who are paid by Big Oil. Ironically, the climate change hoax is being pushed by Biggest Oil Rockefellers. All one needs to do is to look on the Rockefeller Foundation website. Why would Big Oil support both sides of a conflict? Perhaps for the same reason that Rockefellers and Rothschilds have long support both sides of all wars—control of the outcome.

What makes this “climate change” fact doubly ironic is the additional fact that we reside in an Ice Age and the Holocene interglacial is at least 600 years overdue to end. For a family like the Rockefellers to be promoting a fear of warmth in an Ice Age is as good as tricking a hungry man into fearing food. Like Scrooge and Malthus, they would like very much to decrease the excess population. For such monumental “badness,” they become too big to jail.

But there is a solution to all this. It involves the opposite of the original problem. Just as you can quench darkness with light, you can solve self-concern (selfishness) with unconditional love without regard for anything in return. The more who do this, the less power the psychopaths will have. And the less suffering they can cause for their fellow humans.

Can 7 Billion People End the Current Ice Age? — Aiming the Precautionary Principle in the Right Direction

The Current Ice Age, You Say?

Yes! You may have noticed those little white things at or near the poles. Glaciers? Because they persist throughout the year on both Greenland and Antarctica, we remain in an Ice Age that is now 2.588 million years old.

This month, members of the United Nations from around the globe meet in Paris, France to discuss climate, but they seem to be in denial. Ironic that they would call others who disagree with them, “deniers.” But they remain in denial about our current Ice Age. They want to cool down the planet. They want us to fear warmth. That’s like getting a hungry man to fear food.

Never mind whether or not humanity is creating too much CO2. Never mind if CO2 is or is not causing global warming. Warming is good! Life thrives in warmth. It dies in the cold. Try growing crops in the snow when the Holocene suddenly ends and all of America’s farmland is buried in permanent glaciation. I suspect that the lies are so thick, that CO2 is not a problem at all, but also that CO2 has very little effect on climate change. The Svensmark study shows great promise in explaining climate change—linking it to the most powerful energy source in the Solar system—the sun! The decadal and even yearly correlation between solar wind and global average temperature is stunning. CO2 on the other hand, has only sometimes gone in the same direction as temperature. During the period, 1940 to 1970, when CO2 first skyrocketed, global temperatures went down. This resulted in concerns of global cooling. But, if you look at the longer temperature record, you’ll see a 60-year cycle and also a thousand-year cycle. Both of them were going up from 1970 to 1998. And for the last 17 years, we’ve had a pause in global warming.

Global Warming Good in the Current Ice Age?

Current Ice Age is a Dead End for humanity if we don’t face the reality of the coming cold. Photo #849817 by bmcmath via Morguefile.com.

When you’re in the deep of winter, don’t you long for spring thaw? Well, that’s sort of what we’ve been getting—a little bit of an Ice Age thaw, but NASA calls it “Earth’s fever.” The current Ice Age makes NASA’s notion ridiculous. And, as much as I’ve loved the space exploration, it breaks my heart to say that. America’s space agency has gone over to the Dark Side.

How could all those people be wrong, and little old me be right? Glad you asked. How could most of the world be wrong about a geocentric universe and little old Copernicus be right? Many reasons. Ego, suppressive tradition, political corruption, big money interests. But I’m not alone. We have hundreds or even thousands of climate scientists who disagree with the UN’s scam.

But think about this: Why would anyone want to cool down the planet in an Ice Age? Don’t they know how dangerous Ice Age glacial periods are? Don’t they know how destructive they are to life? I suspect that they do. In fact, the Rockefellers (chief patrons of the United Nations) want to kill off most of the population. They’ve been eugenicists for over a century. They promote the idea that overpopulation is a major problem. We produce enough food to feed 11 billion, yet billions are starving! It’s really a matter of greed and either mismanagement or psychopathic management. Some people like to kill others so they can gain more power. The Rothschilds proved this when they financed both sides of nearly every war since 1800. The Rockefellers picked up on this. During Nelson Rockefeller’s VP confirmation, he was even asked why one of his companies was sending aid to the enemy during the Vietnam War. Are some people are too big do arrest for treason?

Global warming is good. From it, we get more rain and fewer deserts. In fact, during the far warmer Holocene Optimum about 8,000 years ago, the Sahara was green for more than a thousand years. Today’s wimpy Lake Chad was, back then, a robust inland sea—far larger and far deeper.

The antithesis of the current Ice Age — leaves with rain drops. Photo #856808 by pippalou via Morguefile.com.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, or even a climate scientist to understand why. Warmth creates more evaporation in the oceans. More evaporation means more water vapor available for making clouds. More clouds means more potential rain. And the opposite is true. Cold oceans have very little evaporation. That’s why scientists call Antarctica the world’s largest desert. In fact, because of global warming, Antarctica is gaining far more ice than it is currently losing. This fact should not surprise anyone, especially those at NASA. That’s simple physics. This doesn’t mean that all deserts will disappear, but most deserts will shrink and some might actually vanish, becoming lush green landscapes, instead.

Global warming also means fewer and weaker extreme weather events. Total number of tropical cyclones worldwide has been on a 40-year decline. Total energy of those storms reached a peak in 1993, and has declined ever since. The trend of total number of US tornadoes has remained relatively flat over the last 40 years, but this should encourage us, because detection and documentation has improved on the weaker, smaller tornadoes, meaning that actual counts may be down. For stronger tornadoes during the same period (F3–F5), the trend is clearly downward.

Why would cold produce stronger and more frequent storms. It has to do with temperature differences between the poles and the equator. The temperature on Jupiter at a pressure equal to that of Earth sea level is about –108 °C (more than a hundred degrees Celsius below zero). Yet, Jupiter has gigantic and powerful storms which are larger than Earth itself. All that power comes from temperature differences—between extremely cold and massively-extremely cold. Like our electrical batteries, the greater the difference between positive and negative voltage, the more power the cell can deliver. Imagine what would happen if the equator warmed very little, but the poles were warm instead of frozen. There would be far less energy to drive storms. But if we freeze the poles and extend the frozen terrain to mid-latitudes, then the ice cold is much closer to the hot equator. This makes it ripe for powerful storms.

In fact, there are reports that there were violent and frequent storms during the Little Ice Age. People starved because of the decrease in rain and the extreme cold.

Ideas to End the Current Ice Age

Current Ice Age: More of Earth should be like this jungle waterfall, teeming with life. Photo #898542 by MGDboston via Morguefile.com.

Imagine for a moment, every country in the world becoming aware of the Ice Age problem. Imagine 7,380,183,000 people working together to manufacture and to install black plastic slabs on the world’s glaciers, especially those in Greenland and Antarctica. Imagine ships tugging icebergs to the desert regions and siphoning off most of the melt to inland lakes for irrigation. How quickly could we melt the Greenland and Antarctic glaciers? Could we do that before the Holocene ends?

The truly powerful in the world would have to become unselfish, or be replaced by unselfish individuals. But in a world driven by profit, rather than compassion, we are not likely to see such a project happen. The psychopathic globalists would rather see 7+ billion people die. What do the 7+ billion people have to say about that? Why don’t you ask them? The next time you strike up a conversation with a stranger, ask him if they know we’re in an Ice Age that could get ugly any day now. Ask them if they would do something about it if they could.

Other ideas to end the current Ice Age?
