North Pole Ozone Hole bigger than ever, proof Earth’s magnetic field is flipping out, is someone out there?

Researchers from eight countries are reporting that the hole in the ozone layer above the North Pole is now as big as the hole over the South Pole.

The North Pole hole now covers an area about 3,000 kilometers (1864.113 miles) long and 1,000 km (621.371 miles) wide.

Of course environmentalists are blaming it on man made pollution.  Never mind all the volcanic activity, and record number of forest fires, in the past decade.  Also, never mind the fact that the Earth’s magnetic field has being weakening, seemingly at the same time that the holes in the ozone layers have been forming.

It is a fact that the North and South Poles of the magnetic field have gotten much weaker.  In fact, in 2003, PBS NOVA produced a newer program on the fact that the poles of our magnetic field are about to flip.  You can go to the a PBS NOVA web site to use their interactive programs to see how they think our magnetic field works.

In 2009, famed physics professor Michio Kaku, warned that the solar flares, from the Sun’s expected 2012 pole flip, are going to be much worse than first thought, by a “factor of 20”.  He called it a “tsunami of radiation”, which is not good when you realize our atmosphere and magnetic field has weakened.

I believe the real reason for the holes in the ozone layer is because of the weakening of Earth’s magnetic field.  The magnetic field weakening and the intensity of the Sun’s solar flares, could be caused by extrasolar planetary encounters.   There is an ancient story of another plant that experienced a similar “breaching” of their atmosphere.  The story is thousands of years older than any other written stories found so far.

In the ancient story the founders of Earth’s human civilization notice changes to their planet, changes that we currently call “climate change”: “…the fields diminished their yields, fruits and grains lost abundance. From circuit to circuit [orbits], nearing the Sun heat grew stronger; in the faraway abode, coolness was more biting.”

Earth’s magnetic field is directly caused by the spinning molten core.  The people of this ancient story noticed their atmosphere was thinning, and their volcanoes were growing dormant: “In the atmosphere a breaching [ozone hole] has occurred; that was their finding. Volcanoes, the atmosphere, forebear, less belching were spitting up! Nibiru’s air has thinner been made, the protective shield has been diminished!”

While most of these ancient alien people thought their volcanoes were the cause of the strength of their atmosphere, others pointed out a more astronomical cause: “It has happened before, some gave an answer: Nibiru in the past colder or warmer has grown. A destiny it is, in the Circuit [orbit] of Nibiru embedded!”

Eventually the ancients realized that their planet’s atmospheric depletion was the result of millennia of near impacts, and actual impacts, with the planets in a more stable orbit around the Sun.  The most devastating impact created the Earth, and stopped the Moon’s progress to becoming a full blown planet itself.  Later, a near impact slowed the spinning molten core of Mars, and stripped off the atmosphere.

This ancient planet, according to the translations done in the 1960s and 1970s, orbits against the grain of Earth and the other Solar bodies, and takes several hundreds of thousands of years to make one orbit (which is about the time line for major catastrophic events that take place on Earth).

The ancient planet (and its “companions”) approaches from our South Pole.  In the past few decades, dozens of astronomical observatories have been established on Antarctica.  Recently Japanese astronomers discovered at least ten large dense (with very strong magnetic fields) planets approaching from the south.  They stated that the planets ‘lived’ independent of the Sun.  They called them “floating planets”, I call them Ronin Planets.

Incompetence or Conspiracy? Idaho Real Estate web sites, and even Wikipedia, list Micron as the biggest employer in Boise

The computer chip maker Micron Technology is in big trouble, and since 2009 isn’t even the second biggest employer in Boise, Idaho.  Yet, Idaho real estate agent web sites, which encourage out’a staters to move to Idaho, continue to list Micron as the top employer.  Other web sites, and blogs, list the number of Boise Micron employees at 15,000!  Even a check of Wikipedia’s section on Boise still claims that Micron is the top employer.

Micron hasn’t been the top employer ever since 2009, after lay offs cut their Boise work force down to about 5,000.  And that’s according to a September 2011 Idaho Statesman report.  Also, the Idaho Statesman says Micron’s peak Boise employment of about 15,000 happened a decade ago!

To make matters worse, Micron is losing money.  They lost $135 million in the third quarter of this year.  On top of that they’re about to get hit with a court judgment for price fixing.  That judgement could be as high as $11.9 billion.

Micron recently told investors that such a fine would further degrade future operations, and, they admitted they don’t even have any money to pay such a fine!

So why are Idaho real estate companies, web media sites, bloggers, and even Wikipedia still promoting Micron as the top employer in Boise?  Conspiracy, or incompetence?

Class War: Occupy Wall Street protests escalate, more than 700 arrested after Brooklyn Bridge blocked, hundreds arrested in Boston, Occupy Chicago continues, Occupy Los Angeles grows

“Over 700 summonses and desk appearance tickets have been issued in connection with a demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge late this afternoon after multiple warnings by police were given to protesters to stay on the pedestrian walkway, and that if they took roadway they would be arrested.”-official police statement

October 1, what had to be several thousands of protestors took over the Brooklyn Bridge.  It had to be several thousand because New York city police say they arrested more than 700 of them.  The bridge is now open to vehicular traffic.

“This is our Tahrir Square. We’ll stay here for months if we have to.”-Emilio Baez, Chicago protestor

The protests in Chicago, Illinois, are now a week old.  At lest 30 people are protesting in front of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.  The protestors are calling for the end of the Federal Reserve.

“We had to set a stand to let Bank of America know they cannot foreclose on families and put them out on the street.”-Carolyn Grant, Boston protester

In Boston, Massachusetts, about one hundred people were arrested during protests in front of Bank of America’s headquarters. Reports vary on the number of protestors, from several hundred to more than 3,000!

Boston cops made statements that revealed their true attitude: “They wanted to be arrested, and we obliged.”-Edward F. Davis, Boston police Commissioner

In Los Angeles, California, several hundred people continued the on again off again, Occupy LA protests, by marching to city hall.  No arrests were made, people driving by joined in by honking their horns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Class War: Studies reveal Money does make you happier, but it only drives you to want more

A Chinese newspaper gathered data from studies done around the world, about wealth, and the people who have it, and found that many common myths about having lots of money are false.

I always heard that “money doesn’t buy happiness”, turns out that’s a lie. One study, by Justin Wolfers and Betsey Stevenson, concluded:

1) Rich people are happier than poor people.

2) Richer countries are happier than poorer countries.

3) As countries get richer, they tend to get happier.

However, Psychologist David Myers says the degree of happiness depends on the relative disparity between the rich and the poor.  Apparently the more impoverished a country is, the more happier the rich bastards become (is that why Wall Street is trying to take down main street U.S.A.?).

Also, University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart discovered that once a person becomes wealthy, it takes even more and more money to keep them happy, like a drug addict (again, is that why Wall Street is trying to take down main street U.S.A.?).

What about the myth of suicides and rich people losing their money?  Many people think of the Crash of ’29, when supposedly dozens of people jumped to their deaths, from their high rise offices, after losing all their money in the stock markets.

While some rich people do kill themselves, people living in poverty are still more likely to end it all.  Several studies have been done, including by the UN World Health Organization, and they conclude that the majority of suicides involve people living in rural (poor) areas!

U.S. deaths are caused by poverty…. about the same as deaths from heart attacks and stroke, study finds

Class War, What Economic Recovery? Warren Buffett says the Elites have won, his propsed tax on the Elites is first step to increasing taxes on everyone else

“There’s been class warfare going on for the last 20 years, and my class has won.”-Warren Buffett, legendary investor

In the U.S. Congress Republicans have been misquoting Warren Buffett, saying he’s not really for the proposed tax increase (aka The Buffett Rule) on the Elites.  Oh, he’s for it alright.

In a recent interview with a CNN reporter Buffett was asked how an increase in taxes, on the extreme minority of rich elites, would help the government’s debt problem?  Buffett admitted: “It probably would come in at 20 billion [increased tax collections from elites], but no one thing is gonna solve the deficit of over a trillion.” He went on to explain that it’s a necessary first step in preparing everyone to accept tax increases, and even more cuts to social services:  “…I think that getting people to buy in, in this country, to the kind of ‘shared sacrifice’ that’s going to be needed, it’s going to be very important they feel there’s fairness to what’s going on…”

In other words, the people of main street U.S.A. haven’t seen anything yet, when it comes to more taxes and cuts to government spending!

 

Government & Corporate Incompetence: Once again, Plutonium contamination found in Japan, this time outside the Fukushima Daiichi compound!

30 September 2011, for the first time since the March nuclear disaster, the Japanese government has found plutonium contamination outside the Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant compound.

There have been at least three other times plutonium was found. A couple of times it was found within the perimeter of the nuclear plant’s compound, but, in June a university team found plutonium outside the Fukushima Daiichi compound.

This latest (government confirmed) plutonium contamination was found 45 km (28 miles) outside the nuclear plant.  It was detected in samples taken from six locations in the towns of Futaba, Namie and Iitate Village in Fukushima Prefecture, all northwest of the nuclear plant.

The isotopes included plutonium 238, 239 and 240.

Government Incompetence equals What Economic Recovery? Small Business loan program a big FAIL!

In 2010 the U.S. Treasury Department set up the Small Business Lending Fund.  U.S.$30 billion was intended to be used to help small businesses expand and hire more people, it didn’t happen.

That Small Business Lending Fund ended, September 30, 2011.  Only $4 billion of the $30 billion was loaned out!

As usual everyone is blaming everyone else!  The banks, that were supposed to get the money to loan to small businesses, said the application process was too difficult and had too many restrictions.  The Treasury Department says hardly any bank applied.  Both the banks and the Treasury Department say hardly any small businesses applied.  Small businesses say it wasn’t worth the attempt because the banks put too many restrictions on the loans.

Some analysts say the Obama administration really thought that the economy would be much better in 2011, which is why they made it so tough to qualify for the loans.  In other words, there was no real effort to help small businesses in the United States.   Another example of how out of touch, with main street U.S.A., our political leaders in Washington DC are.

 

What Economic Recovery? Home Federal Bank lay offs hit Idaho & Oregon

“We continue to see high unemployment nationally and in our local markets. And the outlook for improvement in economic growth, which we believe is necessary to drive loan demand, remains questionable.”-Len Williams, Home Federal Bancorp

Home Federal Bank will close six branches in Idaho and Oregon.  Officials hope it will save the bank U.S.$1 million in the next year.

A total of 35 people will lose their jobs.  20 in Idaho and 15 in Oregon.  10 of the Idaho lay offs will come from changes to Home Federal’s mortgage operations.

Home Federal Bank reported a $4.1 million loss in 2010, and so far this year has lost $2.6 million!

What Economic Recovery? So much for any Job Stimulus, more than half of U.S. companies will NOT hire

“The findings of this survey show declines in each category of economic measurement.”-Jim McNerney, Chairman of Business Roundtable and Chairman, President and CEO of The Boeing Company

September 29, according to Business Roundtable, more than half of the biggest companies in the United States will not hire any new employees for at least six months.

In a huge change of corporate confidence, the latest survey shows only 36% of U.S. companies plan to hire new employees.  Just three months ago it was 51%.  That’s a big drop, and remember, the survey covers the upcoming end of year holiday season.

140 Chief Executive Officers took part in the Third Quarter 2011 CEO Economic Outlook Survey.   The survey showed not only declines in planned hiring, but in expected sales and corporate spending.

Global Economic Class War: Wall Street protestors grow to thousands, protests spreading to other cities

Two weeks later, instead of fizzling out like so many greedy corporate America loving right wing nut jobs predicted, the Occupy Wall Street protestors are still there, and they’re growing, nearly 2,000 at last count.

On top of that, ‘Occupy’ protests are spreading to other cities.  Some have fizzled out, while others continue.

In Los Angeles, on September 26 protestors gathered when President Barack Obama arrived for a $35,000 per plate fundraiser.  Most people in the LA area make less than $35,000 per year: “The ‘little man,’ the ‘American every man,’ just isn’t getting their voice heard. When you need $35,000 to donate to a campaign to get your voice heard, to have a meeting, that’s not democracy!”-protestor

Now, September 29, hundreds of union workers are demonstrating at LAX: “It’s just hard because the economy is bad as it is, even if they say the recession is supposed to be over, for too many people they are still in bad state and in dire need.”-Robert Branch, protestor

The Occupy Chicago rallies are in their 5th day. About 20 people started the protest on September 23, and some of them are still camped out in front of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.  Some reports say the number of demonstrators are slowly increasing, about 40 as of September 28.

Several big name celebrities, and academics have made speeches during the Occupy Wall Street protests.  Protestors in New York city say they will march on New York police headquarters.  They say it’s in retaliation for the way police have been treating fellow demonstrators. So far 100 protestors have been arrested.

People are amazed at how many highly educated protestors there are: “These are the most over educated crowd of people that I’ve even seen in my life.  People come out of college and there are no jobs.”-Daniel Levine, student at Baruch College

A university professor, and security expert, says the people of the United States don’t have the guts to turn their protests violent, like in Europe: “Americans have become too complacent with the way their society is being run.”-Patricia DeGennaro, World Policy Institute/New York University

If you don’t think the Occupy Wall Street protestors are in it for the long haul, then explain why they have formed a “winterization committee”.
