Are We Behind The Sanctions Curve?




Are Our News Organizations Behind The "Sanctions Curve?"




Yesterday, we were warned about the coming bombing of Iran. (See our previous posting: The Coming Nuclear War with Iran? and Is Hollywood Burning?). And today we heard of tough, new UN/US sanctions coming from the mouth of Madame Condoleeza Rice. Are our news organizations behind the "news curve"? We were wondering if the administration was working its own sucker coup against our news organizations by announcing the sanctions while still secretly planning the Iran bombing campaign. Are they really capable of staging such a two-stage plan. Yes, we suggest they are. But, we hope we are wrong.
If we are not wrong, we are looking at a potential nuclear fallout combined with a potential nuclear winter (as described once by the late, great Dr. Carl Sagan in a Scientific American article).This posting continued Saturday, October 27, 2007.

If indeed a nuclear war or World War III (with nuclear weapons) does happen, we estimate human survival at 50,000 to 5,000,000 individuals on the surface if their are any lethal consequences. This is an unscientific estimate - of course - but based on the 50+ year old concept of megadeath.

Of course, there are expected to be troglodytic populations of individual governments surviving in underground nuclear bunkers. These do exist right here in the US, Switzerland, and likely other major countries. The current administration(s) should be able to make it quite comfortably, including a few billionaires.

For the rest, life on the surface will be miserable - if not horrible. The rotting dead and other detritus left over will make it so. Also, if a nuclear winter does set in, they may find survival even more difficult.

Last night, we heard on MSNBC, the use of the word "psychotic" to describe a couple of the leaders involved in this potential war. You can guess at least two of them. They are only thinking of their active offense as a main defense. They are presumed not to be thinking strategically. Look at the current row with Russia over Bush's planned missile shield defense system. Given, it is a plan to intimidate mainly Iran, but is it really? And, you will notice, that the consequences of a potential nuclear conflict are not being discussed. Is anybody else thinking about this? We are sure some are, but they are probably sworn to a secrecy oath that will not allow them to divulge any information in this regard.

President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a headline on his website: Iran seeks to resolve differences through dialogue . But, we invite you to click on this link to read the rest of his posting. It just doesn't seem promising - everybody involved seems to be deadlocked.

The Coming Nuclear War with Iran? and Is Hollywood Burning?


The Coming Nuclear War With Iran?...









We have two firestorms to report. One is political the other is real and happening right now.

Regarding the potential political firestorm with Iran, we have received recently information from very well connected sources to the US Government regarding the Iran diplomatic situation. Now, we don't want to alarm anybody, but we feel it is our responsibility to report. Apparently, diplomatic negotiations with Iran have failed. The bombing of Iran is imminent and could take place very soon. Our source (whom we can't identify at this time) also says that this could turn into World War III. We have no information on whether this will be an all-out nuclear war, but we are 90% certain that nukes will be involved in one way or another.

We can't say that the end of the world is going to happen, but with this political firestorm and the firestorms in Southern California, it looks like Apocalypse and Armageddon are approaching in concert. We're not prophets, but we certainly expect that a bombing campaign on Iran would raise the ire of their diplomatic allies. Allies who may be inclined to retaliate.

And, another war campaign - this one close to the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea - would certainly be of interest to Russia and perhaps China. One or both of them may feel inclined to "actively defend" their borders. If they sense such a border attack may proceed with the current war plans, they could proceed with "the best defense is a strong offense" strategy.

We might suggest contacting your US Representative and US Senator. We might also suggest you begin storing (if you haven't already) basic supplies like; bottled water, canned foods, firewood, fuel, dry clothing, a generator, halazone, iodide tablets, medicines and so on. If anything, do what you can to protect any innocent lives like children and the elderly - even the homeless.

Is Hollywood Burning?...

It probably is, and may even burn to the ground. The Firestorm in Southern California is both an amazing and terrifying spectacle. So far, the damages tally up to $ 1 Billion and are growing. President Bush has declared a major fire disaster. The firestorm is partly the result of it generating its own wind (part of the definition of firestorm) and the katabatic winds. So far, a half million people have been ordered evacuated from the affected area(s) - including the local celebrities who have lost their homes there. Many folks have barely escaped alive with just the clothes on their backs - and some have left even without their shoes. Most of their homes are completely burnt out. It has become a national disaster and a national tragedy.





The smoke being generated by the fires can easily be seen



from space. It is an awesome and terrible sight to behold.




We can't help but make the comparisons of the firestorm images to a the potential devastation posed by a nuclear war with Iran and its allies. One thinks of images of Apocalypse and Armageddon.

We can't help but wonder if the fire and rescue authorities have considered using or are actively using the following chemical agents:



Borax
alumina trihydrate
Zinc Borate
Azobisformamide.

We understand that these chemicals may pose an environmental hazard and may not be considered for application. But consider the fact that the environment (about 225,000 acres) has disappeared in the firestorm. Also, lives and so much property may have been lost. More may be lost, because the firestorm at this point is expected to advance to the ocean. That may not happen if the winds do die down from their current speeds of 100 mph to 50 mph. More air support and personnel are also needed.


We certainly hope that the rest of Southern California and Hollywood are spared from the flames. Just think what a tragic loss to our American culture that would really be.
