&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="normal-p"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;Dear&amp;nbsp;Mr. Vance:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-indent: .5in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;Thank you for your letter about
solicitations for contracts for hollow-point bullets issued by the Department
of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.&amp;nbsp; I appreciate your taking the time
to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-indent: .5in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;As you may know, the Department of
Homeland Security's mission includes preventing terrorism, enhancing national
security, and securing our borders.&amp;nbsp; To fulfill that mission, the Department
trains and employs over 11,000 agents at agencies including the Secret Service,
the Coast Guard, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.&amp;nbsp; These agents
have full law enforcement authority and, as required by Department policy, use
hollow-point ammunition.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-indent: .5in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;The Social Security Administration also
has agents with full law enforcement authority.&amp;nbsp; The Administration's 295
agents work in 66 offices across the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and are responsible
for investigating violations of laws that govern the Administration's
programs.&amp;nbsp; For example, they not only investigate allegations of Social
Security fraud, but they also respond to threats against Social Security
offices, employees, and customers.&amp;nbsp; The Administration's agents use
hollow-point ammunition during firearm training and in the course of their law
enforcement duties.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-indent: .5in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;There were reports that the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service solicited a
contract for 40,000 rounds of hollow-point bullets.&amp;nbsp; In fact, the
Administration's Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement solicited the
contract.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;According to the Administration, "due to a clerical error,
a solicitation for ammunition for the Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement
mistakenly identified the National Weather Service as the requesting
office."&amp;nbsp; The Administration states that that error is being fixed
and will soon appear correctly in the federal government's electronic bidding
system.&amp;nbsp; The ammunition was ordered for the Administration's 63
enforcement personnel who work out of six divisional offices and 53 field
offices throughout the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&amp;nbsp;
These agents perform traditional law enforcement duties over more than 3
million square miles of&amp;nbsp;open ocean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;and 85,000 miles of
coastline from criminal fishing operations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-indent: .5in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;I recognize that media reports have
raised concerns over these solicitations for hollow-point bullets.&amp;nbsp; As
stated in the solicitations, the requesting organizations were running low on
ammunition and needed to replenish their supplies.&amp;nbsp; Furthermore, hollow-point
ammunition is standard issue for many law enforcement agencies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is the
same type of ammunition used at the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Federal&lt;/st1:placename&gt;
 &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Law&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Enforcement&lt;/st1:placename&gt;
 &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Training&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;Center&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;,
and federal law enforcement agents use this ammunition during their firearms
qualifications and other training sessions.&amp;nbsp; Additionally, hollow-point
bullets are designed to stop when they hit a target as opposed to passing
through it and striking other objects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="normal-h"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="normal-p" style="text-indent: .5in;"&gt;

&amp;nbsp;Dianne Feinstein&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;United States Senator&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Dear Senator
Feinstein:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Thank you for
your response of May 15, 2013 to my recent letter. Regarding your points:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Again I ask,
why do you endorse the purchase of hollow point, “dum-dum” bullets that are
considered too cruel for use in war by the Geneva Conventions to which we are
signitore’?&amp;nbsp; Why to you not call
for Chocolate bullets as does Vice President Biden?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Why would the
Social Security Administration need such bullets?&amp;nbsp; What kinds of crimes do old people commit
that call for “cruel and unusual” weapons as defined by the United Nations and
the Geneva Convention?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I also find it outrageous that NOAA and The
Weather Bureau need many thousands of such bullets.&amp;nbsp; Do you mean to turn all government employees
into an army opposed to the people?&amp;nbsp; Your
bureaus now have enough bullets to put five into every man, woman and child not
employed by government.&amp;nbsp; This amounts to
a declaration of war against the people.&amp;nbsp;
Is this what you want, Senator Feinstein?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt; is first in private gun ownership and
27&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; in the world murder rate.&amp;nbsp;
This alone puts the lie to the Obama Administration’s and your
ideas.&amp;nbsp; The countries above us on that UN
list all have laws of the kind for which you stand.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Given that you
carry a concealed weapon often, if not always, makes you a hypocrite, Senator.&amp;nbsp; Are you aware that you are pushing for laws
impacting on sane citizens when crazy people are the only ones responsible for these
massacres.&amp;nbsp; Can you understand that
Senator Feinstein?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-219Q8YdgMH0/UZzQMgJreQI/AAAAAAAAf_s/AOr73wJMP7w/s1600/Tornado.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-219Q8YdgMH0/UZzQMgJreQI/AAAAAAAAf_s/AOr73wJMP7w/s400/Tornado.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span id="goog_1499725627"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1499725628"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Having been in four, I can tell you a tornado is the most terrifying natural phenomenon you can experience as it lasts for what seems an eternity and all the while nothing makes sense. &amp;nbsp;Stuff is flying by, the air feels charged, rain comes straight on, things are breaking, the sound is like four freight trains running overhead and the phone is ringing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Today I hear lots of talk about "storm cellars," "safe rooms" and "getting in your bathtub. &amp;nbsp;There has to be a better way for people to be safe in "Tornado Alley." &amp;nbsp;I grew up on the tail end of it &amp;nbsp;on Route 66 between St. Louis and Chicago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;In the 60's a huge hurricane ran up the east coast and I watched a TV news helicopter broadcast go over one rubble pile after another. &amp;nbsp;Then, the reporter yelled, "What's that?" and the craft turned to a standing structure! &amp;nbsp;It was a dome! &amp;nbsp;A geodesic dome of the kind designed by F. Buckminster Fuller. &amp;nbsp;It was undamaged!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"What the Hell?" yelled the reporter as the helicopter orbited the dome. &amp;nbsp;I knew then that I would have one of those some day and I live in one now. &amp;nbsp;I had planned to build two subdivisions of them, the first with six or seven 4,000 square footers and then another 25 2,000 square footers with a one big one for a center for a fully age-integrated community. &amp;nbsp;The real estate crash dashed that project and about $1 million I had on paper. &amp;nbsp;Nonetheless...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jsT_B-NtuNo/UZzXjPyyg9I/AAAAAAAAgAA/75CjC1DGC5Y/s1600/May+4+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jsT_B-NtuNo/UZzXjPyyg9I/AAAAAAAAgAA/75CjC1DGC5Y/s320/May+4+013.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I think these homes would survive anything but a direct hit of a tornado. &amp;nbsp;They are low in cost to construct the basic shell. &amp;nbsp;People spend the bulk of their money on interiors. &amp;nbsp;It is all 2" by 6" triangles, the strongest form in nature compared to the rectangle used in homes which has very little lateral integrity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;When the Chief Building Inspector signed off on my dome home he said, "This will be last house standing in the county when the big one hits." &amp;nbsp;We had put 90 yards of concrete with rod on eight inch centers in the foundation with fingers dug several feet below the main pour as if we were building a dam. &amp;nbsp;I like stuff that does not fall down. &amp;nbsp;You can read the whole story at: &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://californiasafehouse.blogspot.com/"&gt;California Safe House&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;There is a better way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;That great, towering intellectual
of the US Senate, Barbra Boxer blames the &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Oklahoma&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; tornado on “global warming” and the Republican denial of science. &amp;nbsp;We take
issue with calling statistical analysis “science” when it is not. &amp;nbsp;It is a
common practice for many to claim the aegis of the method that gave us the modern world.&amp;nbsp; Statistics is not qualified;
it only tells us about things.&amp;nbsp; “Science”
includes experiments and Statistics counts beans, Bucks and BS.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A study of the atmosphere in
the terms of modern physical science, in the light of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://adrianvance.blogspot.com/2013/04/le-chatelier-rules.html"&gt;Le Chatelier&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;shows
adding CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; should be seen as reducing atmospheric heating by the sun.&amp;nbsp; Increasing CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; in air reduces air’s capacity
for water vapor which is seven times better at capturing infrared, IR,
radiation, heat energy, from sunlight, than CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; molecule for molecule.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; cooling effect
is consistent with what we saw during and after WWII when we burned down Europe
and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place style="font-size: x-large;" w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Japan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;,
which beats the Hell out Ford Fairlanes and SUVs in terms of CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;.&amp;nbsp; And, a wiser bunch of whiners were wailing
about &lt;a href="http://denisdutton.com/newsweek_coolingworld.pdf"&gt;“The Cooling World” &lt;/a&gt;in the April 28, 1975 Newsweek which you can click on, read or copy and print out. &amp;nbsp;It has a chart showing how our temperature declined with the WWII CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; increase.&amp;nbsp; Newsweek&amp;nbsp;said
we were going into an ice age per prediction from the white coats, aka
“scientists” who were mathematicians in disguise.&amp;nbsp; They do that; they are sneaky people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Newsweek piece had some
great “pull quotes” in it, the kind you use to flog the other side, including,
“There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change
dramatically and that these changes portend a drastic decline in food
production.” &amp;nbsp;You need to know the panic-pusher mindset at that time was that we were making so many
people the planet would get top heavy, or something, and tip over so they welcomed this event to starve the surplus. &amp;nbsp;Such were the politics of the time, it was your
better-than-average-bunch-of-evil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Senator Barbra “Big
Brain” Boxer’s concerns were alive in 1975 Newsweek: &amp;nbsp;“Last April 148 twisters
(tornadoes) killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars worth
of damage in thirteen US states.”&amp;nbsp; Now
wait a minute here:&amp;nbsp; We thought there
were more tornadoes now than before. &amp;nbsp;We have had only a few in the last year
and before &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;Oklahoma&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
only six people had been killed!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Meanwhile back at the podium
Jim Hansen has been telling the world that CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; controls the atmosphere by
telling water vapor when to become a gas.&amp;nbsp;
That is the only way his ideas work and something like it was the
concept mix pre 1832, but then German chemist &lt;a href="http://adrianvance.blogspot.com/2011/12/great-organic-fraud.html"&gt;Wohler&lt;/a&gt; (pro. Vayler) made
urea with chemicals from rocks so Vitalism and Alchemy died only to be
revitalized for political purposes by Jim Hansen in 1988.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The irony is that Jim Hansen could have gotten away with blaming CO&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; for the
coming ice age, being consistent with Le Chatelier, Wohler and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy"&gt;Entropy&lt;/a&gt; as Earth is the
cooling world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;I am in receipt of a State of &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:state&gt; cheque in the
amount $808.64 and I assume it is a refund for the funds you took from my Bank
of America account illegally. &amp;nbsp;I note the
date on the cheque is “May 14, 2013,” which is one day before your required
response from the action of the California Victim Compensation and Government
Claims Board.&amp;nbsp; A response is still
required and I would appreciate your paying the $25 filing fee I had to pay as
a result of your improper action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;I have also received another
“Notice of State Income Tax Due” for 2007 and in the amount of $809.11 which I
assume is an attempt to continue to collect what I maintain is inappropriate as
I reported the same income figures to the IRS for that year as I reported to
the FTB.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;You will recall your people told
me it would be illegal for them to send me anything the FTB received from the
IRS and that is a lie.&amp;nbsp; They then claimed
I could not read it as the record is magnetic.&amp;nbsp;
When asked how they see it I was told “…on a computer screen” and when I
asked the clerk to push the “Print Screen” key and send me the result she hung
up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Where this matter was brought to
me six months after the statute of limitations had expired, I objected and you
told me “…it doesn’t matter.”&amp;nbsp; Then you
told Gail Moss of Assemblyman Chesbro’s office I had not paid my 2007 taxes for
two years, both untrue. I insist you clarify, repair and apologize for these
statements in writing as I will file a complaint with the California Bar
Association if you do not.&amp;nbsp; I truly
regret you are working for the State of &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;California
  Ms. Collins&lt;/st1:state&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Notes: &amp;nbsp; My "California Official Victim" claim was filed in January and the FTB ignored it until the last day, four months later, likely in anger. &amp;nbsp;This a full-employment bureau for brats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -1.0in;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;The new dun will likely be executed diabolically, but I will stay in front of it and cut 'em off at the pass! (I've waited my whole life to write that line.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Presidential pull-toy Dan Pfeiffer hit all the weekend talk shows
with the a recorded speech having come from the same operating room in which Susan Rice was chipped for her TV performance.&amp;nbsp;
What do they do to these people to make them so strange and
Terminator-like?&amp;nbsp; I want to see them
walk.&amp;nbsp; I bet they stride like that “Man in
Black” guy in the GE commercial.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;

&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;When do they turn it off?&amp;nbsp;
Ever?&amp;nbsp; Susan Rice has not been
seen since her five riveting performances of September 15. The effect must last
more than eight months.&amp;nbsp;Maybe it's permanent.&amp;nbsp;Are those 150
words she said all she can utter now?&amp;nbsp; Would
Dan Pfeiffer’s mother recognize him or be able to pull him back? &amp;nbsp;What evil lurks in the minds &amp;nbsp;of men who eat dogs?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;We can only imagine the secret White House basement laboratory
with all the old Frankenstein equipment zapping away as guys in white coats
install chips in strapped down staff heads in preparation for the TV shows.&amp;nbsp; They even got the lisp right for Dan
Pfeiffer.&amp;nbsp; Susan Rice didn’t get one,
but then maybe they leave that out of the ladies chip, which is sexist as it is the mark of the Ivy League.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;The shows all had plenty of Ivy League lispers; David Sanger and Jeff
Zelney were in fine form.&amp;nbsp; George
Stephanopolis brought in Katerina Van der Evil for a reliable liberal lady to
step all over ever gallant George Will.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Pfeiffer’s
chip included: “I can’t speak
to the law here. The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous and
inexcusable, and it was stopped and it needs to be fixed so we ensure it never
happens again,” &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When expectedly asked
if he really thought the law irrelevant on every show Pfeiffer’s chip
responded, &amp;nbsp;“What I mean is, whether it’s
legal or illegal is not important to the fact that the conduct doesn’t matter. &amp;nbsp;The Department of Justice has said they’re
looking into the legality of this. The President is not going to wait for that.
We have to make sure it doesn’t happen again, regardless of how that turns
out,” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Pfeiffer’s chip said,&amp;nbsp; “There
was absolutely not any communication between the White House and IRS to exert
pressure to more closely scrutinize conservative groups applying for tax-exempt
status.” &amp;nbsp;And that, “While the White
House would cooperate with Congress in investigating the matter, it would not
participate in “partisan fishing expeditions. “We are going to work with
Congress, as the president said, in legitimate oversight. What we’re not going
to participate in is partisan fishing expeditions designed to distract from the
real issues at hand.”&amp;nbsp; Or, always wear a
parachute when you go flying.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dear Miss Moss:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I thank you for your work in
my behalf in dealing with the Franchise Tax Board.&amp;nbsp; You have been the most effective and sincere
of the people in positions of your kind with whom I have dealt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Today I received another
“Notice of State Income Tax Due” for 2007, here attached.&amp;nbsp; It is identical to those I received before
and with which they took&amp;nbsp; $800 from my
Bank of America account for my Social Security deposit. &amp;nbsp;That was illegal. Now they want more. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;While I was surprised to see
this dun it is the last piece of the puzzle.&amp;nbsp;
This proves I am under attack by someone in the FTB.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;With my 2007 &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; “540,” and
check, I included a letter informing them their “Deductions” instructions were
flawed; that they called for subtracting a negative number, which is an addition
under the laws of mathematics and could be a considerable loss to the state.&amp;nbsp; No response was forthcoming and I had hoped
for a “Gold Star.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I suspect this letter got
someone into trouble and he either lost or trashed my check to do me harm.&amp;nbsp; The paper-clipped return,
letter and check were together so someone handling them dispensed with the
check after it had passed the “remittance enclosed” checkpoint and that was not
resolved for two years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;When called about it I said
if the FTB did not want to cash my check it was not my problem.&amp;nbsp; The young man accepted my argument and settled
for the tax alone, no penalty or interest.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This apparently made someone
mad and six months after the statute of limitations on such matters they came after me with the false claim I had reported $10,500 more to the IRS
than the FTB.&amp;nbsp; The FTB refused to
document the IRS statement.&amp;nbsp; My returns
show no difference.&amp;nbsp; The FTB’s claim it was
illegal to send IRS documents is a lie and they claim I cannot see it as
the record is magnetic, but they could read it on a computer.&amp;nbsp; When I asked they hit the “Print Screen” key
they hung up.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The worst of them is Tanya
Collins, Esq. of their legal department who said of the Statute of Limitations,
“…doesn’t matter.”&amp;nbsp; Are lawyers above the
law?&amp;nbsp; She also lied about me writing I
had not paid my taxes for two years.&amp;nbsp;
This demonstrates she is familiar with this case and I am a target of
the FTB! The Attorney General will not take a complaint on the FTB so they are
a rogue bureau operating beyond the law!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I filed a claim with the
California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, per your
suggestion, in January and they have presented my case to the FTB.&amp;nbsp; The FTB had until May 15 to respond and they
have not.&amp;nbsp; Instead they sent me another
dun for $809.11, threatening to raid my bank account, dated May 15, 2013!&amp;nbsp; This is beyond coincidence.&amp;nbsp; This is pure intimidation dripping with the
angst of someone in deep regret for having missed the Gestapo. &amp;nbsp;Surely Tanya Collins closet would scare you to
death.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It would appear I am going to
have to get this in front of a judge and it is a sufficiently simple matter
that I can prosecute myself having done many Small Claims actions.&amp;nbsp; Please advise.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Sincerely,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-17Zc43iPesQ/UZW0U71iV3I/AAAAAAAAf7g/gR7NGrjm4JE/s1600/Obama+IRS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-17Zc43iPesQ/UZW0U71iV3I/AAAAAAAAf7g/gR7NGrjm4JE/s400/Obama+IRS.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;As the “Perfect
Storm,” of&amp;nbsp; Bengazi, IRS and AP wire
snatching scandals grind on we can see the shape of things to come.&amp;nbsp; The picture is not one of anything happening
very quickly, but it may happen very well and that is even better.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Rush Limbaugh
points out that while the press is insulted over the AP wire business they are
not going to run to Republicans.&amp;nbsp; The
long-standing culture of liberalism in media, for the sake of popularity, will
prevail, but they will report on Administration flaws, faults and foibles more
readily than before, and that is the key. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The media will
have plenty of dirt to dig and report on as the Obama gang only gave 100 of
the 25,000 emails and communiqués regarding Benghzi.&amp;nbsp; Congress can get the remainder by subpoenas the Whitehouse cannot stonewall where they have maintained the
incident was the product of a “street demonstration” and not an international
conspiracy.&amp;nbsp; They have written the
prologue in concrete and are stuck with it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;If Mr. Obama
tries to declare this “a matter of national security,” then the Republicans can
cry, “For a street demonstration and You Tube video?” as the White House people
are yet alluding to that as the origin of the disaster.&amp;nbsp; We realize that Democrats have a good record
of having it both ways, but with a rather testy press on their hands that bird will not fly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Meanwhile, more
stuff will come from the IRS scandal as it is deep and long.&amp;nbsp; Not only do the people hate that bureau, but
the facts already on the table are gagging. &amp;nbsp;It can only get worse.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The President
declared he fired the IRS Commissioner, but he was a temp leaving in three weeks. &amp;nbsp;It has been reported he is still in his office!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Plus, the new man Mr. Obama
appointed to replace him is from his White House staff!&amp;nbsp; You cannot make this man up!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Meanwhile the lady who was in
charge of the IRS unit specifically assigned to harass Tea Party, “conservative,” “right wing” and “evangelical,” “non-profit” operations,
&lt;span class="bodycopy"&gt;Sarah Hall
Ingram, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012.&amp;nbsp; And, she was just promoted to serve as Director of
the IRS Obamacare program, a position putting her in charge of the
vast expansion of the IRS' regulatory operations for "Affordable Health Care."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span class="bodycopy"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This will be a unit with 16,000 employees and a boost for Ms.
Hall-Ingram.&amp;nbsp; Who knows what kind of
bonus she is anticipating for her work in that politburo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span class="bodycopy"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This is just a taste of coming attractions as the Obama disaster
metastasizes.&amp;nbsp; I dare not report the new, rumored scandals as the unraveling of these three should be enough to make the
2014 mid-term elections something to behold.&amp;nbsp;
We must not relax our resolve to keep the bonfires burning and see this
ends in 2014.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="bodycopy"&gt;Adrian Vance &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;The International
Space Station, aka UN “Jockstraps in Space” &amp;nbsp;“Going where no man has gone before,” because
it was stupid, is suffering from the bad science of the 70’s.&amp;nbsp; They’re using ammonia for heat transfer.&amp;nbsp; Freon™ would be better, but is banned and has been replaced with inferior, flammable substitutes that make every home refrigerator a time bomb. NASA refuses to use the now legal hydro-chloro-fluorocarbon gases in the International Space Station, because they are dangerous, but they are OK for us!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;"&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;In 1974 for a $60,000
grant UC Irvine Prof. Sheldon Rowland and grad assistant Mario Molina sold
their souls to Satan postulating Freon™, the finest industrial chemical ever
made, was breaking down in the upper atmosphere of Antarctica to destroy the
“ozone shield” they claimed was protecting life on Earth from hard UV, ultraviolet, from the sun. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Dupont did not defend Freon(tm) as the patent had expired. They &amp;nbsp;could patent inferior gases and sell them for outrageous prices if Freon(tm) were banned. &amp;nbsp;This a flaw in our system and it can be corrected, but only by honest people in elected places. &amp;nbsp;(Good luck.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;"&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Not only is there no
“ozone shield,” as gases cannot form surfaces, a fact once taught in junior
high schools, but 90% of all Freon is in the northern hemisphere and no ozone breakdown
is there seen.&amp;nbsp; The “Horse Latitude
Effect” keeps Freon™ in the northern hemisphere. Very little has ever been released south of the equator.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;And, the reaction they claimed was doing this had never been seen in nature nor could they produce it in the lab. &amp;nbsp;Molina is now at MIT and still trying to get it to work! &amp;nbsp;It never will; the &amp;nbsp;thermo-dyamics, are backwards in his "equation." He is trying to do the molecular equivalent of pushing a big rock up a steep hill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;NASA's ammonia attacks soft seals. They use rubber-like materials to
absorb vibrations of rocketing into space.&amp;nbsp;
Freon is inert; attacks nothing while ammonia combines with many
compounds, some of which become explosive like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrolite"&gt;Astrolite&lt;/a&gt;, a favorite
such potion as the brisance is only exceeded by nukes and it is easy to make.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;When pushed about
no ozone depletion in the north NASA sent six U2’s north with aerial samplers,
finding no chlorate traces going directly over the pole where it should be produced. &amp;nbsp;With one flight left they
sent it on a circuitous route over Norway&amp;nbsp;and bingo! Chlorate compounds!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;This rang my bell
as I had seen &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocystis"&gt;Macrocystis Kelp&lt;/a&gt; in the Fjords of Norway when there in
1976.&amp;nbsp; This plant is unique there, while &amp;nbsp;common in the Pacific and thought brought by Japanese ancient mariners circa
6000 BC via the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Passage"&gt;Northwest Passage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&amp;nbsp; It only grows in the Fjords and is never anywhere else in the North Atlantic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This plant has a
unique and exciting physiology as it reduces haloids to elements. With genetic
engineering it could recover gold by the ton as the colloid, tiny particle, in which marine gold exists has a natural ionic coating and is thus reducible to the element.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Every cell of Macrocystis Kelp includes one tiny crystal of iodine in the
center of every cell and we know not why.&amp;nbsp;
It also produces
elemental free chlorine which on contact with ozone makes a chlorate radical, part of a molecule!&amp;nbsp; Bingo!&amp;nbsp;
The smoking gun!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;NASA chiefs knew about this and exactly what they were doing in perpetrating the Freon(tm) fraud on the
American people. &amp;nbsp;This inspires the question, “Where would we be today if we had honest men in high places?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v5nUV-RsYIA/UZQiCxEfVJI/AAAAAAAAf7Q/IQO-g_eWMVs/s1600/Obama+and+Holder.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v5nUV-RsYIA/UZQiCxEfVJI/AAAAAAAAf7Q/IQO-g_eWMVs/s400/Obama+and+Holder.JPG" width="333" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;As we watch &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;DC&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
unravel over three major scandals, any one of which could have taken a
Republican President out of office, we have to wonder how and where it will all
end.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The damage to the IRS will be
minimal as it is the source of all money for the elected ruling class. &amp;nbsp;Obama fired the temporary Commisioner, who was scheduled to leave in three weeks so he pulled another stunt on the folks. &amp;nbsp;They will chop some clerks, strawbosses and
other such underlings, but the bureau will remain and prevent another scandal by spreading responsibilities in ways harder to
track.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Rush Limbaugh hatched a most
believeable hypothesis on May 15, 2013 that it was not necessary for President
Obama to sic the IRS on The Tea Party, but that the IRS culture is very
pro-Democrat and the staff would take it upon themselves to delay Tea Party
“401c,” non-profit status for years, which put many chapters out of
business.&amp;nbsp; Rush may be right, but we prefer to see a committee of Congress lay it all on the Obama White
House.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The State Department has been a nest of international socialism, “one worldism” and crisis milking.&amp;nbsp; Their recent complaint that &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Benghazi&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; was caused by the Republican
“sequester” is laughable as they are so overfunded it is said they have $400
million stashed until their top people can figure out how to steal it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is amazing Hillary
left without a truckload of cash; or maybe she did! &amp;nbsp;Doubtful John Kerry will be able to find a way
to steal it.&amp;nbsp; He is only good at marrying
very rich women. The rumor mill says Susan Rice will be the next
National Security Adviser to the President in his deep appreciation for her &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Benghazi&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; performance. &amp;nbsp;The Administration is only waiting until they
can slip her in the back door, but she and Valerie Jarret are natural enemies so keep your seatbelt in place.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The AP 20 phone tapping is more problematic than it yet may seem as it shows the Administration does not trust the people who put them in office! &amp;nbsp;That act made them feel they were back in power and now the Obama Administration has shown them they are not. &amp;nbsp;That is not acceptable nine ways to Sunday.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We have to wonder what is
coming as so many pressure cookers are whistling round the world and Mr.
Obama is so bereft of people to blame he now picks on Rush blaming him
for everything.&amp;nbsp; He must be running out
of gas and we can only wonder where will it end?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A liberal Democrat environmentalist lady from Berkeley, California &amp;nbsp;who was also an&amp;nbsp;anti-hunter purchased timberland near Colville , Washington. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;

There was&amp;nbsp;a very large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good&amp;nbsp;view of the great splendor of her land so she climbed the big&amp;nbsp;tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked&amp;nbsp;her. In her haste to escape, she slid down the tree to the ground getting&amp;nbsp;many splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to&amp;nbsp;an Emergency Room to for medical help.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;div class="yiv6541344232MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px;"&gt;
She told the doctor she was an environmentalist, a&lt;br /&gt;
Democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to&amp;nbsp;wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.&amp;nbsp;She sat waiting for three hours before the doctor returned. The angry&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;woman demanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I'm sorry, but due to Obama-Care they turned you down. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Monday, May 13, 2013&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Question of the Day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/polls/2013/may/13/is-obama-right-calling-benghazi-probe-sideshow/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Is President Obama right to call the Benghazi investigations a politically-motivated "sideshow"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Our European cousins are just now figuring out that ditching their marks, francs, liras and drachmas to join the eurozone may not have been such a hot idea after all. Every time a member nation gets in line at the bailout window, the common currency takes another hit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/oskar-lafontaine/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Oskar Lafontaine&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;played a key role in the creation of the Euro in 1999 as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/germany/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt;’s finance minister. He now calls for a change in course, arguing that the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is heading toward “disaster,” and a breakup of the currency is critical to the recovery of Southern European countries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Euro was expected to be the daily public symbol of a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/economic-and-monetary-union-of-the-european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;monetary union&lt;/a&gt;, the next logical step in the economic integration of Europe, the conclusion of the painful process of rebuilding from the rubble of World War II. Securing the four freedoms for the Continent’s internal market — free movement of goods, capital, services and labor — was the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt;’s greatest accomplishment. Maintaining a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/economic-and-monetary-union-of-the-european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;monetary union&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;without achieving a fiscal union is its greatest failing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Eurozone nations share the same currency, and they must trust that their neighbors — politically independent governments with significant differences in economic structure — will adopt fiscal polices that maintain the Euro’s value. It was a proposition doomed to failure from the start. Many economists said so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/germany/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/greece/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;share little in common, but they were placed in the same fiscal straitjacket.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/greece/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is heavily dependent on tourism, but the tourists started booking flights to other places after a visit to the ruins of the ancient world was no longer a bargain on a cheap drachma and became a pricey excursion on an expensive euro.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/greece/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;quickly lost its competitive edge. Without the ability to devalue its currency,&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/greece/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;could do nothing to recover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;That irritated the thrifty Germans, who had to subsidize&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/greece/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to preserve the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;union&lt;/a&gt;. Greeks knew this, so politicians in Athens saw no need to endure the pain of putting their house in order. They could have all the benefits of an oversized government and bloated public sector while the Germans and others picked up the check. The Eurozone itself is responsible for the structural problems that created the European debt crisis. Leaving the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;union&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the first step in resolving it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dumping the euro would allow countries such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/greece/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to restore their private economies. The change in the value of the currency would make exports competitive and encourage growth. For the private sector to grow, the public sector must make room by shrinking. A mere change in currency would encourage inflation if it is not accompanied by true cuts in government spending.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The overvaluation of the euro has played a role in Southern’s Europe’s problems, but structural imbalance has done far more to put these economies in jeopardy. Like the Greeks, some other Europeans have spent too much and borrowed too much. They have imposed burdensome regulations that stifle innovation, competition and job creation, weakening the private sector so that it’s difficult to see how the economies can recover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The death of the euro is a good start, but the true path to growth in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is fiscal discipline, not a quick monetary fix. Politicians must muster the courage to challenge the entrenched public-sector unions and derail the gravy train. Only then can a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/european-union/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;European Union&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;prosper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Note: &amp;nbsp;We reproduce and pass this on as we too feel the Euro could fail dramatically and we are not sure what it will do to the Forex market which is the river of money facilitating world commerce. &amp;nbsp;AV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Break out the tin foil hats, folks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Speaker John Boehner and the chairman of the House Science Committee are
both unsure whether the science behind climate change—the stuff that shows
pretty clearly that carbon pollution produced by humans is damaging our
environment—is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead, they’re on the record saying things like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;”The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our
environment is&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;almost comical&lt;/strong&gt;.
Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Every cow in the world&lt;/strong&gt;, you know,
when they do what they do, you’ve got more carbon dioxide.”&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;- John
Boehner, April 2009&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As long as our members of Congress continue to develop their own theories
behind climate change, we will fall further and further behind in our ability
to make actual progress on this issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Make them do better. Add your name to
join OFA’s team that will hold climate deniers in Congress accountable:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;I urge everyone to clip and post the following on your website:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18.0pt;"&gt;CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;2 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18.0pt;"&gt;is a
“trace gas” in air, insignificant by definition.&amp;nbsp; It absorbs 1/7th as much IR, heat energy,
from sunlight as water vapor which has 80 times as many molecules capturing 560
times as much heat making 99.8% of all "global warming."&amp;nbsp; CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18.0pt;"&gt; does only 0.2% of it. For this we should
destroy our economy? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18.0pt;"&gt;Carbon
combustion generates 80% of our energy.&amp;nbsp;
Control and taxing of carbon would give the elected ruling class more
power and money than anything since the Magna Carta of 1215 AD.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;September 22,
2012 we reported on the &lt;a href="http://adrianvance.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-mars-scam.html"&gt;Mars One&lt;/a&gt; venture that is promoted by two Dutch guys and said it
was a scam.&amp;nbsp; Little did we know how right
we were and what a really good scam it has been.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We thought they
would get a few nutcases, but 80,000 people paid $5 to $75 to apply depending
on the ad or release to which they responded.&amp;nbsp;
In the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
the price was $38. Let us suppose that was the average price as we have more suckers than anybody.&amp;nbsp; They probably took in over $3,000,000 for a
press release they emailed and faxed to newspapers and magazines!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We get emailed
and posted scams for “work at home,” “free money for college,” “You are the
long-lost first cousin of a South African diamond mine owner who…” and every one
wants $20 to $200 for a “training manual” or “money transfer fee,” but this
Mars thing beats all selling a one way trip!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I have long said,
all “Man in space,” and “Journey to the planets,”&amp;nbsp; schemes are scams even if government
sponsored. &amp;nbsp;Outer space is the most
hostile environment.&amp;nbsp; The universe
of man is a soap bubble thin gas mixture on a big round rock including decaying
radioactive elements heating it to ten Celsius degrees or Earth would be an ice covered ball. &amp;nbsp;We live in a thin zone between two nuclear
reactors:&amp;nbsp; A fission reactor below and a
fusion reactor above.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The unlikelihood
of our existence is given as a proof of God, but cynics respond with, “Given an
infinite number of monkeys with typewriters and infinite time, one will write
Hamlet.” &amp;nbsp;The faithful scoff, but &amp;nbsp;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;f you
Google the string, “Given an infinite number of monkeys…” you will get
246 mathematical treatises that will prove it and give you prickly heat. &amp;nbsp;It appears that all prove the point.&amp;nbsp; However, all are predicated on “infinity” meaning “You never get there,” i.e. “There is always one more.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Meanwhile back in &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Holland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; applicants
complete “...a grueling application” with essays on: “Why would you like to go to
Mars?” &amp;nbsp;“How
would you describe your sense of humor?” and “What makes you the perfect
candidate for this mission to Mars?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Mars One expects 500,000 will apply by the end of August. At the
$75 per application price that will net $37,500,000 for a total take of
$40,540,000 which is not bad for a goofy idea and a few days of emailing and
FAXing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;They say their people will have to train for seven years which
will be covered by a “reality TV show” with an “audience vote” to pick who will
get to die on Mars and we can imagine it will be a big hit with the Kasrdashian generation Democrats.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We conclude many of the world's people are becoming an infinite bunch of monkeys who want to die on
Mars.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.8pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;

  &lt;br /&gt;
  If I said to you: "Unicorns exist, I totally just saw one galloping down
  the street," most likely you'd give me a sad look and get on with your
  day.&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  But what if House Speaker Boehner and the chairman of the House Science
  Committee said they didn't know if the science behind climate change was
  real. (Yeah. That actually happened.)&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  Now obviously, it doesn't matter if I just make stuff up about unicorns. But
  it matters, and it matters a whole lot, that so many of our elected officials
  in Washington who represent us are denying science and using that denial to
  refuse to take action on climate change.&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  It's actually dangerous -- and it matters how we react.&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  Each and every day that congressional leaders hold on to their bizarre
  fantasy world, OFA is going to be there, not letting them get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;

  We're going to make them say it out loud -- either double-down on their claims,
  or come to their senses.&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The
  National Academy of Sciences and more than 13,000 peer-reviewed scientific
  p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;"&gt;apers all confirm that the carbon pollution in our atmosphere today is
  causing dangerous climate change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  The sticky thing about the truth is that it's the truth whether Congress
  likes it or not.&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  Unicorns don't exist, climate change is real, and we said we weren't going to
  let this go.&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Sign here and help Congress get real:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I am a physical scientist, certified to teach across the field in California, much published by every major educational film company. Every high school in the United States and Russia have used my films. &amp;nbsp;I was paid for the US films, but the Soviets would buy one and make copies for all their schools. &amp;nbsp;I got letters from teachers all over the USSR. &amp;nbsp;The point is that I am used to dealing with scoundrels and the "climate change" promoters are scoundrels and &lt;a href="http://adrianvance.blogspot.com/2013/05/all-about-global-warming.html"&gt;I prove it.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I urge you to go to my &lt;a href="http://adrianvance.blogspot.com/"&gt;Two Minute Conservative&lt;/a&gt; blog and input "global warming" to the search routine. &amp;nbsp;You will be presented with many short pieces written for general readers and we deal with every aspect of "anthropogenic global warming." &amp;nbsp;This is the greatest fraud perpetrated in science and it is ruining our economies with politicized nonsense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;11 States now have more people on welfare than are employed in them!&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reported in fiscal 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medi-caid and other benefits, the average welfare household received $168.00 a day in government benefits. &amp;nbsp;This is over $60,000 per year! &amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;The median household income in America is just over $50,000, or $137 a day. &amp;nbsp;Being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, for producing nothing, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour for producing something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Consider that where paychecks are discounted about 30% with all federal and state deductions the average working American takes home about $35,000 where the welfare recipient gets $61,320 tax free! &amp;nbsp;75% more for not working!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Is it any wonder Barack Obama won re-election? &amp;nbsp;How long can this continue? &amp;nbsp;Where he raised the national debt 50% in his first term and to the level of the Gross Domestic Product per year it should be apparent that our Columbia University, Harvard Law graduate is either arithmetically conflicted or intends to crash the nation, cause unrest and perhaps become "President for the duration," which we can only guess would be for a long time. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;It is amazing the information contained in the new welfare map.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;There is no "gun lobby" unless you call the NRA and the American people a lobby. &amp;nbsp;Your lies have doubled their size to five million members in a few months. Are you trying for ten? &amp;nbsp;I have a graphic I want you to examine and explain to me:&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Now Jon, let us suppose you were an angry nutcase out to avenge that you are not rich-and-famous after everyone told you how wonderful you were all through school even though you flunked every test so you are going to kill evil rich folks kids in that private school up the hill. &amp;nbsp;You arrive loaded with a rifle, two pistols and lots of clips for all. &amp;nbsp;Which of the above signs would dissuade you from your mission?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;That everything you propose chooses the left panel tells all you have another agenda, are stupid or insane and not to be trusted in any case. &amp;nbsp;It is just that simple. &amp;nbsp;Nonetheless, I am glad to see Jon Carson back for more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;CBS MoneyWatch recently listed
universities with the worst professors.&amp;nbsp;
I was not surprised to see my old college, #22, ISU, on the list, but I
was a faculty brat there and knew too much.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;We had some great
teachers, but many duds.&amp;nbsp; Ironically, one
notoriously bad prof. made it necesary for me to find an early version of programmed learning, “scrambled text”
in statistics to get an “A” in his 300 level course while others fumbled.&amp;nbsp; All I got from that mumbling prof was a good place
to read or take a nap.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Scrambled books were
difficult to produce as typesetting caused pages to move around, but now the jumps
are automated and for&amp;nbsp; “ebooks” search
keys like “Go to A1, A2, etc.” enable it.&amp;nbsp;
We have an example of such a book at &lt;a href="http://apocalypseasteroid.blogspot.com/"&gt;“Apocalypse Asteroid.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;It is sad to see on this list many science and engineering schools where instruction is critical. &amp;nbsp;I can understand this
as these schools did everything they could to cream the crop in my day. &amp;nbsp;Jobs were few and great skills were needed as we had to make our equipment and reagents. &amp;nbsp;80% of those starting in my class flunked
out.&amp;nbsp; I struggled to hang in. The Federal money flood has changed all that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Federal money
lowered standards, paying by the head, and brought politicized material, like anthropogenic
global warming. But, many other ideas now taught need to be changed. &amp;nbsp;The big problem is
political correctness. &amp;nbsp;It has no place in education.&amp;nbsp; The “Green” movement is more one of ignorance
and not intent, like “climate change.” &amp;nbsp;But the insanity has gone all the way to elementary school where now it is national policy not to teach grammar "because it is racist," i.e. a white evil! &amp;nbsp;This must end.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Electronic books
and the Internet can change most of what is wrong in higher education,
especially the price. &amp;nbsp;The “Great professor (a)" effect is a myth.&amp;nbsp; Nobel prize winners never
teach courses.&amp;nbsp; They do “research,”&amp;nbsp; looking for what they can steal and hold
seminars for select grad student, Ph.D. candidates, who do all the lower division instruction.&amp;nbsp; You are taught by grad student
“Lecturers” with Masters degrees, no teaching experience, presentation skills
and often bad attitudes from overwork and churchmouse economics.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;You will see your
first Ph.D. at the 300 level and he will be an Associate trying to get tenure
which he will do by demonstrating how smart he is. &amp;nbsp;If you can’t follow, “to bad.” &amp;nbsp;He is playing to administrators who sit in frequently to avoid their offices.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;We have 4,000
four year colleges and universities in the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and not surprisingly, mine was on the list of, “&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;Universities With Worst Professors.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Note (a) &amp;nbsp;I once spent an hour in a seminar with University of Chicago Professor Alfred Bestor and came away wondering who wrote all his books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;My first suspicions we should not trust government came in the UFO controversy after WWII. &amp;nbsp;Too many people were telling similar stories of encounters and abductions by "little gray men." &amp;nbsp;In 1950 when one of these things flew 100 feet over me, glowing silently in a thin fog I became a believer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Stories of crashed craft
and little bodies, later verified by a
preacher I had gone to elementary school with who knew five leading witnesses
in &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;New Mexico&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;
as “solid citizens and honest men.”&amp;nbsp; He
read a piece I had written and called me to verify his parishioners.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;I worked with NICAP and MUFON
as a photo analyst being familiar with special effects photography for
production.&amp;nbsp; This led to my book
“UFO’s:&amp;nbsp; The Eye and the Camera” including
a “Two Channel information theory for events simultaneously seen and
photographed,” but since those days things have been quiet in the UFO
world.&amp;nbsp; Or have they?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Last week in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;DC&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; a UFO advocacy group, Paradigm Research, held a
Congressional-style&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/truth-lawmakers-piqued-skeptical-ets/story?id=19086646#.UYLOzKJgrw1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;hearing on
UFO’s&amp;nbsp; at the National Press Club. The focus on this meeting was that UFO’s are alien space craft. As one who
worked with the top people in that controversy, including Dr. J. Alan
Hynek and Stanton Friedman I can tell you these people were
open to other ideas for good reasons.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;I am concerned NASA will
crank this up in a frantic effort to keep “Man in Space” programs and
burn more billions on that waste of time.&amp;nbsp;
There is just no way space travel will ever be practical for man given
the length of our lives, the structure of our skeletons and our needs.&amp;nbsp; We are sentenced to this planet for the terms
of our lives.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

are little people with big heads and eyes, small mouths and three fingers.&amp;nbsp; Such creatures are common to hundreds of
“space alien,” “close encounter” reports and they are a clue to the answer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

for less than one million years, say 500,000.&amp;nbsp;
Our little fingers are receding unlike those of other hominids that are
of equal length.&amp;nbsp; In my case my little
finger is 30% shorter than my longest finger and has lost that length in
500,000 to one million years.&amp;nbsp; If that
rate continues our little fingers will be gone in another one to two million
years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;We may well become smaller in
body, larger in head and eyes just like the “little gray men” of UFO
crashes, contacts and abductions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Why would the people of
1,000,000 AD to 2,000,000 AD want to navigate time?&amp;nbsp; Curiosity?&amp;nbsp;
Cruise business? &amp;nbsp;Or war?&amp;nbsp; There could be no greater weapon than the
manipulation of people in time.&amp;nbsp; If we
prevented Hitler’s birth would WWII not happen or would Rudolph Hess have taken his
place?&amp;nbsp; While it appears single people can determine events we may learn they cannot. Or, we may well be the battlefield for a war in time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bHozX4q6ph0/UYQOwo5pY4I/AAAAAAAAfwk/kjUSHgspJ7U/s1600/Michael-Mann-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bHozX4q6ph0/UYQOwo5pY4I/AAAAAAAAfwk/kjUSHgspJ7U/s320/Michael-Mann-.jpg" width="257" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;One of the wheels coming off
the Obama Express is man-caused global warming, aka “climate change.” &amp;nbsp;A prominent exponent is
Michael Mann, Ph.D., of &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Penn&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;State&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;University&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;;
the school made notorious by Coach Jerry&amp;nbsp;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Sandusky's&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&amp;nbsp;sex perversions. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dr. Mann published a study of
Siberian tree rings he said proved man-caused global warming. &amp;nbsp;He claims thicker tree rings correlate with warm
temperatures and he can read them. &amp;nbsp;Other scientists objected saying
rainfall has more to do with it or two factors are involved and cannot be differentiated in the way he prescribes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The real problem for Dr. Mann came when he had to admit he had only worked with one tree section!&amp;nbsp; That should have lifted him from the
journals, but there is so much money and power in this he kept his
place in the issue. &amp;nbsp;He also invented the famous “hockey stick” hypothesis that Al Gore used in the first
slide show to win an Oscar, one-half Nobel Prize and seats on “green”
industry boards plus thousands of shares of stock.&amp;nbsp; This made Al "green rich" and Michael Mann "green with envy."&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Meanwhile, the “trick” Mann
used on temperature data to make his “hockey stick” fell out of the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;East Anglia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
“Email-Gate” scandal.&amp;nbsp; The state of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;Virginia&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&amp;nbsp;decided Dr.
Mann had ripped them off for studies he faked at their University and they are now chasing him for
that.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, Mann, was festering for
having gotten nothing for giving Al Gore his key “Hockey Stick,” concept and
started saying the Nobel Prize really belonged to him so he claimed he had gotten it!&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;About this time I did a short
piece on “Global Warming” for a local paper. The hard-left Publisher sent it to Mann for comment. &amp;nbsp;Mann replied excoriating me personally and actionably, but prosecuting a
libel case from 3,000 miles is expensive, time consuming and has a high failure rate. &amp;nbsp;The offender is in his home court. &amp;nbsp;The newspaper is absentee owned by a Colorado firm so two sets of correspondent attorneys and distant suits would be needed. &amp;nbsp;"Forget it!"&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Then, author Mark Steyn wrote
of Mann’s ravings, totally basing his remarks on published accounts. &amp;nbsp;Mann took
offense with Steyn and sued him for libel as Steyn is even better at pissing people off than am I.&amp;nbsp;
The case will certainly be tossed and Mann will again look foolish, but he has a good face for it. His
case could be found “an abuse of process” and backfire for big bucks as Steyn is close, can afford to prosecute and probably will.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 9.0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dr. Mann has become an embarrassment to the
left as The Daily Kos ran a poll asking if he (1) Is an outstanding scientist,
(2) distorted evidence and (3) should be fired from &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Penn&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;State&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&amp;nbsp; 5,568 people voted, 26 for (1),&amp;nbsp; 3,940 for (2) and 1,479 for (3).&amp;nbsp; The Daily Kos then reported &lt;/span&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;The 97% consensus
determines Michael Mann distorted evidence or should be fired.” &amp;nbsp;Thus, we have a new 97%!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 9.0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Adrian Vance&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 9.0pt;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;(c) 2013 by Adrian Vance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LWyJvulOZsA/UD2qbb_pEcI/AAAAAAAAaUk/xXdxR20S-aI/s1600/About+This+Blod.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LWyJvulOZsA/UD2qbb_pEcI/AAAAAAAAaUk/xXdxR20S-aI/s400/About+This+Blod.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We now place this blog, and content, under US Copyright protection as we will use it in other media, but you can use any single piece on your broadcast, blog, email or opinion page if you will provide a link to this site and credit Adrian Vance &amp;nbsp;author. &amp;nbsp;We do not want to inhibit the promotion of these ideas in any way, but have to declare title in order to use them as intellectual property. &amp;nbsp;(Broadcasters note the pieces you use came from "The Two Minute Conservative easily found by the Google search engine.")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We use the “Flipcard” format for your convenience
as most of our pieces now has an iconic graphic making it easy to recall and find. &amp;nbsp;The few that are without graphics are contributions that came to us without illumination. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We have a search input box in the upper right corner that selects whole groups on any topic if you input a name, word or concept. It is case insensitive and only takes lower case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We think you will find this format &amp;nbsp;more convenient when you want to find or re-read a particular topic. &amp;nbsp;We have over 2000 pieces, &amp;nbsp;enough for 16 novel length books and are, for the time being, releasing them for attribution only. &amp;nbsp;We are more interested in promoting the ideas than getting recognition, but want to develop the potential of the material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Putting your mouse arrow on a picture flips showing the title and clicking on either will bring up the piece. &amp;nbsp;Look for hyperlinks within for documentation and explanation of anything complicated or esoteric. &amp;nbsp;We are very careful to cover such matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Where in the past we would do one or two pieces a week we
now do at least one a day.&amp;nbsp; We welcome
and run contributions as long as they do not exceed 500 words, are interesting,
well-written and not advertising. &amp;nbsp;We reserve the right to edit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You can choose from any of seven formats by putting your pointer on
“Flipcard” in the upper left corner of the screen.&amp;nbsp; Then click on the format you like to see and the blog will convert immediately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Next to it you will see a “Pages” dropdown that includes up
to 25 references, expanded explanations, history notes, etc. that we link to
from our displayed pieces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;On the right side your pointer arrow will activate a popout
for “Blogs we recommend,” “Archive,” “Followers” and “Subscribers” both of the
last two you can join.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We removed the "moderation" trap from the comment input, but have the "spam" detector running. &amp;nbsp;These give you instant access to the discussion, but keep out fake Rolex, and such, ads. &amp;nbsp;We can, and will, remove anything that is insane, threatening, objectionable or offensive soon after it appears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;If you want to post opinions anonymously please use a pseudonym rather than "Anonymous" as we get many and it is confusing. &amp;nbsp;Use "Red Ryder," or "Batman" or "XYZman" so people can respond to your post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Our original concept was to make available to other talk show hosts topic
introductions I was using when on the air.&amp;nbsp; They are ideally two minute pieces that can precede any show segment to introduce new topics and generate calls.&amp;nbsp;
They are also usable by opinion page newspaper editors as they are
“tight” or “lean-and-mean.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;With over 2000, 400 word pieces here we have an 800,000 word database richest source for any broadcaster or opinion page editor. &amp;nbsp;The material offered here would fill more than 16 novels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We urge you to "clip" them and send them friends and local opinion page editors. &amp;nbsp;5,000 people read these every day. &amp;nbsp;If each person sent ten copies we would cover America in five iterations. &amp;nbsp;We recently had our one-millionth reader and 98.6% have come to us in the last three years of our six year tenure. &amp;nbsp;In the first three years we did not know quite what to do with this medium then the Obama Administration happened and the need was defined.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;To "clip" a piece just start at the top or bottom, hold down the left key of your mouse and drag the pointer over the text. &amp;nbsp;It will then be covered with blue or black and the letters will be white. &amp;nbsp;When it is all covered release the key. If the highlight persists do a "Control - C" from your keyboard by holding down the "Control" key and punching the "C" key once and the highlighted text will be on your "clilpboard" until replaced with something else thus you can paste it into emails or a Word file, etc. &amp;nbsp;You can also do a "Control A" which will automatically include all the posts following as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I had to go to the mall.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;As I approached the entrance, I noticed a driver looking for a parking space. I flagged the driver and pointed out a handicapped parking space that was open and available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;The driver looked puzzled, rolled down her window and said, "I'm not handicapped!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Well, as you can imagine, my face was red! "Oh, I'm sorry" I said. "I saw your Obama bumper sticker and just assumed that you suffer from a mental disorder."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;She gave me the finger and screamed some nasty names at me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Boy! Some people don't appreciate it when you're just trying to help them out!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;Today I went to visit the&amp;nbsp;new&amp;nbsp;World War II Memorial in Washington , DC . I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
'Yesterday, December 7, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
One elderly woman read the words aloud:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;'so help us God.'&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's probably forgotten.'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
But she had not forgotten.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: maroon;"&gt;She was right..&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima ..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in '&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;so help us God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;.'&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Now I ask:&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: maroon;"&gt;'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Send this around to your friends. People need to know before everyone forgets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;u style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be...and He always will be!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
If you agree, pass this on and God Bless YOU!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
If not, May God Forgive You!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We have been asked from if there is a simple, easy-to-read and understand text on "global warming" that people without a science background can read; understand the phenomenon and why we are saying things differently from other people on this subject. &amp;nbsp;We prepared the above booklet of 24 pages, which is an awkward size in publishing as it is too big for a magazine piece and too small for a book, but we offer it in Kindle and soft cover, 9" by 6" "trade book" format.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You can obtain a free Kindle reader program from Amazon by inputting "Kindle Reader" to their search routine or download the booklet to any Kindle or tablet computer that has the reader in it. &amp;nbsp;Many tablet computers include the Kindle reader in their software.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You can purchase the booklet by clicking on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/All-About-Global-Warming-ebook/dp/B004OL2MMU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1367962138&amp;amp;sr=8-8&amp;amp;keywords=All+About+Global+Warming"&gt;"All About Global Warming&lt;/a&gt;" as we have hyperlinked to the Amazon catalog page.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
