Human Evolution and Politics

6 Jun

It might seem that your political perspective was simply how you were raised. In reality, that may be true. But, like in intelligence, there may be more involved.

r/K selection theory –r/K selection theory relates to the selection of combinations of traits in an organism that trade off between quantity and quality of offspring.

For example, rabbits living in a world of totally abundent grass will reproduce, well, like rabbits. There is plenty of available food to support offspring, with little worry about continuation of the species. Little time is spent in the realm of parenting while much time is spent in procreating.

And then there are wolves living in a colder climate with limited resources. For them, time spent protecting their offspring from prey and training them to find the necessary resources for survival is paramount.

From a YouTube perspective try :

Or a discussion on the subject with Stephan Moleneaux and Bill Whittle :

Global Warming Does not exist – The Planet is Getting Colder

11 Nov

The election of Donald Trump to the presidency has raised to the forefront many issues. One of these issues is “Man Made Global Warming”.

chemtrail

Ever since his election, the Massive amount of money poured into the Global Man Made Warming Hoax, (Money coming mostly from the US) is transforming itself into Massive Activity (ONLINE) attempting to protect its turf, and the Cash Cow.

One of the proposed solutions to “Man Made Global Warming“, is to spray metal materials (Barium, Aluminum, Cesium, etc.) into the atmosphere to block the sun’s heat from getting to the surface of the planet.

We see it almost every day in every location (major metropolitan area) of the world.

The problem is: “Man Made Global Warming”, “Man’s CO2 Emissions cause global warming”, “The planet is heating up due to man’s impact”, are all not only wrong, they are contrived. They are contrived to make you believe that through a “carbon tax” the “contrived” problem will be solved.

In reality, the planet is cooling. The most influential impact on the temperature of the planet is the Sun. SUNSPOT activity is diminishing as it does over time and through natural cycles. We are going into a period of time where the global temperatures will decline and the farming patterns in the world will change.

Trump may propose that Myron Ebell head up the EPA. Trump also proposes defunding Climate initiatives through the UN.

Look to the skies to see the progress.

Trading Global Temperature Changes

21 May

An interesting trading system has been developed by Trade Genius. The system generates trades that would be held over a few days to generate small gains with low risk. The software developed by Trade Genius is  compatible with Tradestation software as well as some other trading platforms.

Beyond the software and philosophy of trading, an interesting spin on the temperature of the planet has “again” shown its face.

In an interview with Bob Kudla of Trade Genius posted on YouTube, he discusses the impact of stock prices associated with food over the coming years. His statements are consistent with the content of a book written by John L. Casey, DARK WINTER. Those statements and conclusions concern a downward trend in global temperatures due to the very high correlation between sunspot activity and global temperatures, in conjunction with the highly consistent pattern of sunspots over time.

SunSpotsvsTemp

The above chart shows a correlation of global temperatures to sunspot activity.

If these predications hold true, there could well be a disruption in the food supplies around the world. You might choose to stock up on canned goods, or perhaps consider a solution written about in one of my previous blogs, Soylent.

GeoEngineering The Planet

19 Oct

One of the greatest subjects not being discussed in the world, and certainly not here in the US, is the subject of geoengineering.

I seem to have recalled the subject of “cloud seeding” even as a child. What came to mind was the TV series Sky King. Looking back on it today, through the miracle of the internet, I come to find the show name of “Rainmaker”. How about that? In 1956, Sky King comes to the rescue of an Indian medicine man threatened with who knows what, if he could not produce rain. With the help of local weathermen, Sky King released silver iodide into the air and saved the day. Although this was a fictional story, it was based on activities going on at that time. Ref : The Checkered History of Weather and Climate Control

 CloudSeeding

Fast forwarding to 2014, 58 years after this Sky King episode, most people would know nothing about the topic. Here in the US, the effective reduction in knowledge throughout the population has been extraordinary and effective over the years.

“Dumbness, to paraphrase the late senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, has been steadily defined downward for several decades, by a combination of heretofore irresistible forces. These include the triumph of video culture over print culture; a disjunction between Americans’ rising level of formal education and their shaky grasp of basic geography, science and history; and the fusion of anti-rationalism with anti-intellectualism.” Ref: The Age of American Unreason

But, as time marched on, so did the evolution of technology. Research continued around the world and as the subject of global warming became more prevalent, the possible implementation of such processes gained momentum.

What we know today :

  1. Particles in the atmosphere provide a barrier from the heat of the sun. For some people this seems intuitive, but for a more in depth analysis we can turn to a BBC Horizon production entitled “Global Dimming”.
    1. A scientist studying the impact of vapor trails on climate realized in the days following 9/11, the US average temperature went up as a result of the aircraft ban. This 1 degree increase over 3 days was statistically significant.
    2. Another scientist compared measurements taken during the 1950’s with measurements taken in the 1980’s and found a 22% reduction in solar energy hitting the earth’s surface.
    3. Farmers using pans of water to measure evaporation rates found in the 1990’s that the evaporation rates were declining despite increases in temperature. This was due to the fact that evaporation is more impacted by sunlight hitting the water than the actual air temperature.
    4. The “Global Dimming” was found to be attributed to air pollution. Therefore, areas of the planet that contained more air pollution were “cooler”. And areas with less air pollution were warmer.
  2. Despite Global Dimming, the average temperature of the planet has been increasing over the last 100 years. Interactive map below courtesy of NASA.

It is not clear what activities are being pursued around the world to implement geoengineering activities. There is a YouTube video on geoengineering from the Open Mind Conference 2012 that goes into both the technical aspects and the health aspects of chemicals in the atmosphere. A whistle blower from the US Air Force is telling her story, and one of the most visible and vocal experts on the subject is working to protect his integrity. The forces at work to keep dumbing down the public are doing their very best to discredit these sources and keep the topic off the table for public discussion.

Grape Nuts Goes “NON-GMO PROJECT VERIFIED”

30 Dec

I noticed that there was a new label on Grape-Nuts yesterday that included the Non-GMO verified seal. The cereal was on sale too, which suggests that there was little to no impact to the cost of production, even with the creation of a new label. It seems interesting that the food industry fights so hard about re-labeling when it comes to the mention of GMO, but in this case, an existing product that may have always been close to GMO free goes into a new label without any fanfare!

By comparing the previous label to the new label, you can see what is different. Vitamin A Palmitate, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D were removed. It appears that none of the other ingredients were changed. It is possible they swapped out some GMO for Non-GMO, but that seems like it would be too much work.

This is all good news to Grape-Nut lovers. With a little organic milk, you have a pretty healthy breakfast. Now… does this mean that the Vitamin A Palmitate, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D that were in the product contain GMOs?

What Do The Labels Tell You?

26 Nov

Just taking a look at a couple of labels on toothpaste and an “organic” milk carton as examples, what can you find out?

The active ingredient in toothpaste is monofluorophosphate that aids in the prevention of cavities. If you swallow more than that used for brushing, “get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.” It is up to the consumer to weigh the risk and benefits of using toothpaste. Of note in the Wikipedia link is the fact that cavities are formed from the acid that plaque generates. And the production of plaque is fueled by the consumption of carbohydrates and sugar. Not that you would want to, or need to trash your toothpaste, but you might want to consider the impact of carbohydrates and sugar on your teeth.

In the case of the organic milk carton, what can be seen?

Certified Organic is produced without any artificial growth hormones, but what about that asterisk? rbST is an artificial growth hormone. The FDA has determined that “no significant difference has been shown”, between the milk produced using cows that have been treated with rbST and those that have not been treated with rbST.

Again, it is up to the consumer to determine if this is of any impact to their health. What is interesting in this statement on this milk carton is simply the fact that no mention is made to if the milk came from cows treated with rbST. The statement does provide the following insights :

  1. The consumer is now aware that there is an artificial growth hormone that apparently supersedes the definition of “Certified Organic”.
  2. Until “A significant difference between milk derived from rbST supplemented and non-brST supplemented cows” can be shown to the FDA, this approval will remain in effect.

Per FDA guidelines, milk produced from cows not treated with rbST can state on the label: “from cows not treated by rbST”, but this must also contain the statement: “no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbST-treated and non-rbST-treated cows.”

Therefore, we can conclude that the organic milk in this package has been produced with cows treated with rbST, or it would otherwise state “from cows not treated by rbST”. The regulation of such things is performed on a state by state basis, and Ohio has no legislated oversight, therefore the producer would have no way of verifying non-rbST treated cows anyway.

In Canada, Europe and Japan, the use of rbST is prohibited in the dairy industry, so there is no need to such labeling requirements.
