Re: “Do Bombardier bankers have alibis for 9/11 combat support?”
We believe Bombardier’s CIA private-equity bankers engaged in public-sector
procurement fraud through the Canadian Commercial Corporation and forced the
debt-laden company to conceal combat-support avionics in the tail cones of its
business jets and test these disguised avionics for 9/11-style maneuvers at the
NATO flight training school in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan http://www.martec.com/aerospace-ps2.html
We ask for your governemnt’s help in finding out if Bombardier’s bankers – BNP
Paribas run by the Desmarais family out of Montreal and JP Morgan Chase run by
the Rockefellers out of New York – have alibis for the apparent use of
Bombardier’s ‘civilian’ planes to fly remotely-controlled Boeing 757/767s in
the 9/11 bogus ‘Global Guardian’ war game attack on America?
After all the two banks led a syndicate which owned the fraudulent loans and
mortgage on a $2.8 billion Bombardier-operated NATO flight training school in
Moose Jaw, Sask., the perfect cover for CIA agents and their Canadian CSIS
counterparts to rehearse RPA* or UAV* remote-controlled assassination maneuvers

Northwest pilot from rural Glyndon alleges 9/11 cover-up
West Central Tribune | March 6, 2007
Steven Wagner
Field McConnell is convinced the 9/11 terrorist attacks are being covered up.
The Northwest Airlines pilot from rural Glyndon, Minn., said a second attack is imminent and conspirators already have aborted their plan once this year.
Those beliefs prompted him to begin writing for a Web site where like-minded people gather and to file a lawsuit in Fargo’s federal court to expose an alleged conspiracy.
The lawsuit, filed last week, claims Boeing Co. and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) can’t assure him that B747-400 planes are safe. McConnell, who is the process of seeking an early retirement from Northwest, claims the planes are rigged by Boeing and can be remotely detonated.

It’s GW’s fault: “…remove Israel as the prime source of conflict in the Middle East.”
Bill Clinton On the New Middle East
It’s not often that Bill Clinton gets to agree with the Belmont Club. That’s a joke of course. In reality he probably doesn’t realize this site exists, so it was slightly unsettling to read this in the San Diego Union-Tribune. ” In a speech to the United Jewish Federation of San Diego County’s 70th anniversary dinner, Clinton, who tried and failed to broker such an agreement during his presidency, said a new dynamic had emerged in the region since he left office: that Sunni Arab states have come to fear Iran more than they do Israel.”
In the Middle Eastern NATO, I wrote:
There are moments when I am tempted to believe that Operation Iraqi Freedom achieved what diplomats have failed to accomplish for nearly 60 years: remove Israel as the prime source of conflict in the Middle East. Sometimes fancy takes me further, and it seems possible that the invasion of Iraq has so absorbed the region by bringing to the surface their latent rivalries that America and the West have receded as targets.
How about that for coincidences. Danged. Now, if only I could get a hundred thousand dollars to say what I already said it would be a sweet deal. Then Clinton goes on to produce another coincidence….- http://fallbackbelmont.blogspot.com/2007/03/bill-clinton-on-new-middle-east.html

Has farmer Ed Stemach just dropped a $200 million Carbon Tax on Alberta today?
Assuming industry can’t magically reduce it’s GHG intensity by 12% before July 2007, according to my calculations that’s 109.5 million tonnes of CO2 (2004 numbers) * 12% * $15/tonne – roughly $200 million.
See here for the source of the Alberta CO2 numbers.
I guess we will find out just what some of this really means.
Harper drops in with the sleigh loaded with $155M – this after dropping $1.5 Billion in Ontario and at least $1.5 Billion in QC (with no doubt more to go there). Supposedly this is AB’s share of the eco bundle when our population is about 3M
The last time I checked, the population in Ontario is probably in the neighborhood of 7-8 Million with Quebec somewhat less.
$155M times about 3 is something less than $500M – and this is being generous. Perhaps something is failing in my AB calculator but on first look – this doesn’t seem to wash.

Water Vapor Rules
the Greenhouse System
Just how much of the “Greenhouse Effect” is caused by human activity?
It is about 0.28%, if water vapor is taken into account– about 5.53%, if not.
This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn’t factored into an analysis of Earth’s greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one.
Water vapor constitutes Earth’s most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth’s greenhouse effect (4). Interestingly, many “facts and figures’ regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold.
Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and miscellaneous other gases (CFC’s, etc.), are also mostly of natural origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic).
Human activities contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small– perhaps undetectable– effect on global climate.
The Kyoto Protocol calls for mandatory carbon dioxide reductions of 30% from developed countries like the U.S. Reducing man-made CO2 emissions this much would have an undetectable effect on climate while having a devastating effect on the U.S. economy. Can you drive your car 30% less, reduce your winter heating 30%? Pay 20-50% more for everything from automobiles to zippers? And that is just a down payment, with more sacrifices to come later.
Such drastic measures, even if imposed equally on all countries around the world, would reduce total human greenhouse contributions from CO2 by about 0.035%.
This is much less than the natural variability of Earth’s climate system!
While the greenhouse reductions would exact a high human price, in terms of sacrifices to our standard of living, they would yield statistically negligible results in terms of measurable impacts to climate change. There is no expectation that any statistically significant global warming reductions would come from the Kyoto Protocol.

Excerpt:
For what? All the Kyoto Protocol would do is to slightly reduce the current rate of increase of carbon dioxide. And in fact, the UN Science Advisory Group has published their results. And they clearly show that the Kyoto Protocol would reduce, if it went into effect and were punctiliously observed by all of the countries that have to observe it — by the year 2050, — about 50 years from now — it would reduce the calculated temperature increase by .05 degrees Centigrade.

Shocking Facts about Sea Level Rise
Filed under: Sea Level Rise —
One of the pillars of the global warming scare is that sea level is rising, the rise is accelerating due to ever higher global temperatures, and in the absence of some immediate policy to curb emissions of greenhouse gases, the sea level rise will inundate islands and coastlines throughout the world. Who could ever forget seeing the World Trade Center Memorial under water in Gore’s blockbuster movie? In addition, no fewer than 1.4 million websites are found if you search “Global Warming and Sea Level Rise.” Many would be shocked to find anyone daring to question accelerated sea level rise, and yet, as covered many times before in World Climate Report, the scientific literature is full of surprises when it comes to global warming and sea level rise. How many would believe that global sea level actually dropped for a period in the mid-to-late 1990s?
Well, it is true, and an article in the recent issue of Geophysical Research Letters provides some shocking news for those who never question the accelerated sea level rise axiom. …- http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2007/02/09/shocking-facts-about-sea-level-rise/

What the man said
A reader alerts us to this excellent interview with Dr. S. Fred Singer, coauthor (with Dennis Avery) of Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years. Here is a small portion of the interview, on the failure of climate models to account for the past and on the alleged need to “do something” now:
Excerpt:
For what? All the Kyoto Protocol would do is to slightly reduce the current rate of increase of carbon dioxide. And in fact, the UN Science Advisory Group has published their results. And they clearly show that the Kyoto Protocol would reduce, if it went into effect and were punctiliously observed by all of the countries that have to observe it — by the year 2050, — about 50 years from now — it would reduce the calculated temperature increase by .05 degrees Centigrade.

How many would believe that global sea level actually dropped for a period in the mid-to-late 1990s?
Well, it is true, and an article in the recent issue of Geophysical Research Letters provides some shocking news for those who never question the accelerated sea level rise axiom. …-

robertbollocks: there will be no retraction. You can go to http://www.paypal.com and read their end user agreement and policies yourself, then if you are not convinced, you can browse http://www.gunsamerica.com and http://www.gunbroker.com and you shall see, how 50% of the dealers have a disclaimer in their listings: ‘we do not accept paypal for their antigun policies’ or some similar formula. When Aaron speaks, he knows what he’s talking about. This has nothing to do with your donations to SDA – venue only. I am surprised you missed that.
