Warm weather for California
Though it still can be cold(in the 30s at night), California coastal weather has been very warm last week and next with coastal temperature highs between 72 and 80 degrees from San Francisco south to the Mexican border. I'm staying at a hotel on the ocean right now on business near San Diego listening to the surf build and remembering living down in this area in the 1970s with a dirt-street motorcycle riding over all the (then dirt roads between interstate 15 and the coast and through the then undeveloped areas near San Marco and East and south of Escondido. Back then I lived in Rancho Bernardo and Encinitas and went to Palomar College and San Diego State university. I loved snorkeling at La Jolla cove and watching the golden Garibaldi fish. I loved the warm weather and worked as a Landscaping contractor in the late 1970s here in San Diego after my first divorce. Both my son, then 5 and my parents lived in the county back then. I can remember since being a Contractor your time is your own since you are you own boss that often during the summer my contracting buddies and I would take off an afternoon when it just got too hot to be productive and go snorkeling, or bodysurfing. And in the winter this also led to Cross Country skiing and downhill skiing at Snow Summit in the Big Bear Area. Those were great years between 1978 and 1980 before I moved north with my son to Mt. Shast and remarried. Though I loved the snow skiing and mountain lakes up north I also missed the warm nights at the beach and the warmest ocean water on the west coast in San Diego County. Great memories!

In Bruge
I had been watching the Golden Globes and heard the movie "In Bruges" mentioned and saw Colin Farrell win a Golden Globe for his portrayal. So I decided then that if possible I would eventually see the movie. Tonight I was visiting an old friend's house and he has every possible hbo and max other new movie channel and it was playing. It had been a difficult day dealing with finances so I needed to watch something to unwind.
The movie was on and I started to watch it. My first reaction was that it was a kind of sick movie. However, as I began to overlook all the swearing and the fact that it was difficult to understand Irish, English and Flemish accents while they spoke English because I am an American. For example, I was never more embarrassed when I stopped for gas with a rental car somewhere in Scotland only to find that I could make out only 1 word in about 4 in this particular Scottich dialect. I found this quite embarrassing. In other words "two people separated by a common language. After a while I began to pick up the slang they were using which is the real trick in understanding another dialect of the same language I find. Even in Canada there are dialects I can understand the words they are saying but they have different meanings there than the slang I use in California so it can be problematic as to what they are trying to convey.
In the 1950s it was the same for some American southern accents that I couldn't make out. However, now I can understand almost all American dialects because TV has made all american dialects closer since the 1950s. Most people on TV speak the California dialect because of Hollywood since about 1900 now.
The lesson of Bruges seemed to me to be "Life is Hell on Earth". As the movie ended I began to think about people who actually live like the ones in this movie and I felt very sorry for them. Since I tend to live with Angels since I am a clairvoyant and a Seer and have chosen to live with God and Angels, whenever I see depictions of people like this I feel very bad for the people. It reminds me of the joke of the man who went to the Himalayas and asked the Cave Yogi what the secret of life was. The Yogi simply said, "Good Decisions!" Then the seeker asked, "How do you learn to make good decisions?" The Yogi shot back, "Bad decisions!"
In Bruges, the movie you see very few good decisions, and when you see good decisions mostly they die because of making good decisions. So it is as if all these people are trying to work their way out of hell and hell for them is their life on earth.
So, as you understand by now, the people in this movie have made mostly bad decisions so far and the decisions have been consistently so bad that the good ones tend to kill them. Another good name for this movie would be, "Karma in real time!"

What do you do with 50 billion dollars
First of all, I know a lot of millionaires. And yes, I know that Madoff had about 15 or 20 yachts. But as far as just cash on hand, if someone has about 5 million dollars in cash for example, over and above any property, or yachts or planes or toys or women or whatever, there are only so may beaches one can lay on or restaurants one can go to or plane flights around the world before one is satiated.(At least for most humans).
I cannot for the life of me figure out what ANY one non-governmental official could want with 50 billion dollars unless one just wanted to be known at some point as the biggest single thief ever. I can't think of any reason but that unless this person were some kind of government operative for one or more countries on earth and this money was actually Black ops covert money.
Of course, this is only speculation and I wouldn't even think of this unless I knew so many rich people. Middle class and lower wouldn't even think this way. But for everyone's sake I think I'm asking the question. This makes even more sense that Madoff isn't in jail. For if he were a "fundraiser" for European, Israeli, or American or other governments then he couldn't ever be sent to jail and only made to either stop thinking or stop breathing because he just might know too much for everyone's sake.

I Love to Fly
I made a promise to my father in my late teens. I didn't want to make this promise but because I knew his brother had died in his own small plane in 1942, I promised my father I wouldn't get a pilot's license as long as my father was alive. I grew up when people actually made promises and kept them, not like today. This did not mean to me, however, that I would not fly. So whenever I could I would take a flying lesson and when my father passed on in 1985 I soloed in a Cessna 152 several times in 1987. I have taken a few lessons since then as well and had intended to complete my pilot's license and possibly either join a flying club or own my own plane by now.
However, in the interim about 5 years ago my Brother in law and his wife and dog died in their Piper Cherokee augering in to Idaho way out in the boonies. A nearby fire lookout saw the plane go down a few miles away from his station. This changed everything because the same thing that had happened to my father's family happened to my wife's and I had to take a hard look at myself and my responsibilities once again. I sort of made the same commitment to my wife that I had to my father,"I won't get a pilot's license or buy a plane." Though this still doesn't prevent me from taking flying lessons(for example I really would like to take off and land a sea plane the kind often seen in Canada and Alaska). However, when you are with an instructor there is also an added layer of security to the whole thing.
I remember my first solo flight in 1987. I had done the take-off and landing pattern and landing thing(touch and go's) many many times in preparation for my first solo. But when I took off alone and found myself in the air for the first time alone I found myself fighting back panic. I had not expected this reaction. So I was very surprised to experience this. So, I fought back the panic and tried to enjoy the experience. However, there were just too many planes in the air at the time and I wasn't alone up there by myself and therefore able to better enjoy the experience. Also, there was no control tower where I was taking off and landing so it was first come first served so to speak both in the taking off and landing. So I took off and flew around trying to land alone for the first time. However, just before I turned for my final approach some crazy lady in a small place cut in front of me and nearly hit me in the process. So, I was sort of white knuckled at this point and it was all I could do to land the plane in one piece. I forced myself to take off and land two more times. But for me, the joy of the experience was completely gone at that point and I couldn't really rationalize any reason to continue at that point. Maybe it was all the conditioning from my father about how his brother died and messed up everyone in his family for yearas. Maybe that was it. However, now I prefer to be up flying with an instructor when I go. I don't really want to be alone in the air. I'm fine in a car or truck or even on a motorcycle but I've lost my desire to be alone up there in the air. I suppose in an emergency I could land almost anything I was riding in because of everything I know now from direct experience.
The single most important thing to know about flying is that taking off almost any 5 year old could do if he or she was strong enough to pull the yoke back and follow instructions. However, landing is really difficult if you want to walk away from it.
So when you hear about some kid who takes off a plane who hasn't flown one before it makes any pilot scared for that child. Because every pilot know just how hard it is to land a plane and to walk away from it given every variable possible of winds, altitude, heat, clouds, fog, rain etc. that one could potentially face in trying to land.

110 volts
My Grandfather(on my father's side) was an Electrical Contractor. My father first trained with his father during his teens(when school was out) and after high school graduation worked first as an electrician's helper and then as a journeyman electrician and in Los Angeles County from the time I was 12 years old on, an Electrical Contractor like his Dad before him.
Because I was bored during the summers Dad took me on as an apprentice starting at age 12. So I was a full fledged Electrician's helper by age 15 to 17 summers and weekends, and when I burnt out on being a computer programmer-operator at age 21 from working 12 hours a day 7 days a week midnight to noon I worked for another year as an electrician's helper in Los Angeles County, California before I went back to college while trying to figure out what next to do with my life.
My wife is very impressed just because I disabled a bathroom fan. I said, "The bathroom fan in the ceiling not only stopped working but starting to smell like it was going to catch fire. So I disabled the switch." She looked at me and said, "Does that mean the light switch in the bathroom doesn't work too?" I said, "The light is fine. All I did was to take the switch plate off and cut off one of the wires in the back of the switch right at the switch and tape both over so the fan switch is disabled. The light switch isn't affected at all."
At this point she was impressed. I wasn't trying to impress her. I simply wanted to avoid someone walking into our bathroom and while sitting on the john trying to turn the fan on an burning down our house. At some point we will either hire someone to replace the (ceiling fan and flourescent back up light combo) or I'll just do it myself. I haven't decided yet.
I decided to write this piece because becoming an electrian's helper is a great way to survive a severe recession like the one we are in. Hotels, manufacturing plants etc. all need a standby maintanence electrician to repair any electrical problem that comes down. And usually this type of job is much easier than building a home electrically from scratch or remodel work. Though most of the work I did would be considered remodeling work electrical work is very basic and mechanical. However, there are certain things one needs to know in order to stay alive doing it with both sight and hands still working.
As a cautionary note, as a boy I once blew the PBS TV station off the air in Los Angeles for about 5 or 10 minutes and was blind for about the same amount of time because I had to work on a main panel hot. Hot means with the electricity on. My father said, "I need you to work on this hot because the station needs to stay on the air. Electricity coming in to a commercial building is 110,220,440 and sometimes but rarely higher than that. So I was working on a 440 volt panel with just my screwdriver. Unfortunately, one large wire was being very difficult because being large it wouldn't bend right into its panel socket. So my screwdriver slipped when the wire popped out and my screwdriver arc welded itself to the panel and blew little balls of molten metal at my face. Luckily, I only went temporarily blind for about 5 or 10 minutes and my face hurt. My father just led me to the neares staircase and had me sit down while he put the pbs tv station back on the air. He then came over and asked me if I could see which I was beginning to again. The pain of little pieces of molten metal on my face actually bothered me more than not seeing and of course I was embarrassed to blow the tv station off the air. end cautionary note.
If you are working on your own home in a residential or country area the voltage coming into the main Electrical panel from the street is 220 volts if you live in the United States. Coming in from the street telephone and power pole or underground if that is what is in your area comes three wires about the thickness of one of your smaller fingers. Two of these are the Hot wires and one of these is the neutral or white wire. White wires always denote the non hot wire. Most commonly the hot wire is black but sometimes it can be other colors too. However, the neutral wire is always white. So coming in from the street to the main panel is two black wires and one white one. This 220 volts is then used for things like electrical stoves, electrical washers and electrical dryers and the like. These are usually the main items that use 220 volts.
You may ask where does the 110 volts come from? Well. That is a trick. If you take only one of the two black wires and a neutral white then you get 110 volts. You only get 220 volts if you use both black wires and a white one altogether at once. So 110 volts is often called "a half leg" by electricians because you are only using half the electricity coming into the house.
In your home using appliances and lights you don't have to worry about all this because it has been all plotted out by Electrical Contractors and journeyman electricians. Most of the work is not actually installing everything physically. No. The hardest job is figuring out line loads and how big of a main panel and how many sub panels will be installed and what the wiring on a building plan looks like and such.
For example, I am capable of building a whole house from a building plan including electrical etc and carpentry. However, don't ask me to draw up an electrical or framing plan. That I can't do. Also, plumbing is my weakest suit so if I was building a house I would have to hire a plumber for most of that. Otherwise, I could if I had to (and I have many times already) build a house from a plan designed by an architect, builder and Electrical Contractor.
So, when my father and I came to a job he would have already given a bid for a job and drawn up a plan and had his bid accepted before we would even start. Once his bid was accepted he would then order all the wire(and in Los Angeles County)during the 1960s when I mostly did this, pick up all the materials we needed from an electrical supply wholesale house nearby. Some of the materials likely would be large spools of wire of various diameters, emt pipe to pull wire through and flexible metal cable to pull wire through as well as nail like devices to hold the pipe and flex in place in walls attics and under houses.
If we were coming to a room addition for example, we first would establish either a main panel or sub panel and begin stringing pipe or flex through the walls to lights, plugs, light switches etc. We used a one horsepower drill with a 1 foot to 3 foot auger drill bit in place. The problem with this is if you accidentally hit a nail the drill might break your arm. I've been wound up on a 1 horsepower drill more than once but so far have avoided breaking my arm even though I have hit many unseen nails while drilling through 2 by 4 studs stringing flex cable through a house or room addition. (In Los Angeles County) at that time flex cable was used in walls, ceilings and under houses to protect the wires from various kinds of harm and to prevent fires. EMT pipe was used mostly in commercial applications on the surface of cement walls where there was no way to do anyting else but put wires on surfaces of walls. Then we used a type of gun to shoot bolts into the cement which could get very dangerous and I knew of many people who were injured because the cement broke off and the bolt bounced a little like a bullet around the cement room and people were injured or died as a result. So if you use one of these guns just remember if anything goes wrong they are at least as lethal as a .45 caliber bullet inside a cement room bouncing around. Another tool that is very dangerous is a nail gun. A friend of mine accidentally nailed his testicle to the roof and had to be taken to the hospital. Luckily the important part was pushed out of the way by the impact and the nail only got skin instead. However, any injury in that area is very problematic for a man.

Citizen or Consumer
If a person is a citizen then a citizen has both rights and duties. And if a citizen does not protect and defend his or her rights by becoming informed then how can that person call themselves a citizen? How can you defend yourselves, your family, your friends, your country if you are not informed?
If you are a consumer, it is important to note that 3 and 4 year olds are consumers too. If you are a consumer first and a citizen second then all the world will always treat you as no more than a child.
If you are a citizen first and a consumer second, then you know that being a good citizen is about researching the usefulness and healthiness of any product you buy. Because as a good citizen you know that unless this product is proven safe through your personal research, it could damage or kill anyone you know or even strangers you may never know. Being an informed citizen and only buying products you have researched to be safe and useful, not only protects everyone you know, it protects less informed people than yourself. For once you do the research you should as a matter of course inform your relatives and friends as to whether that product is a good and useful product or a dangerous product that should be boycotted or shunned completely.
Only by being both good Citizens and consumers do we protect ourselves, our families and hopefully all mankind.

Obama brings change
You thought I was going to say, "Obama brings Hope" didn't you. Yes. Obama brings hope for Progressives worldwide. HOwever, if you look at all Americans and all human residents of earth, Obama brings change, maybe even extreme change. And that, is the point of this article.
For a lot of people like myself who are either progressive or populist by nature, Obama is basically a good thing for planet earth in general and for America in specific. Bush's lot in the carrot and stick approach has to be seen as the stick(not a fun lot in life for a president). Though Obama in good times might make a great president in these times I'm not sure anyone would make a good president or be entirely what america needs now. So within one year it is possible that Obama will envy Bush's first few years in context with what he is likely to face from within america and from the world in general. One of the biggest problems I can see for the new president is how in the world can he set useful priorities without offending almost everyone. People on the extreme right as well as the extreme left cannot but come to hate him because if he does what is right for our nation in order to keep the ship of state afloat and not sinking from severe recession or war or both will have to be very middle of the road. Basically, bail out the boat and don't eat or sleep until the ship of state is on a good course and out of trouble again. these changes might not come soon. But if they don't come soon enough it could be the permanent or semi permanent end of the United States.
And you in the rest of the world might say, "Well. What's wrong with the end of the United States?" My answer would be, "Do you expect China to be as kind to you or as helpful or to give you as much money for development as the U.S. has if the US goes under?
For people who are racists worldwide, Obama becoming president might be the single most terrifying thing they have ever experienced in their lives. After all, nations have seen nothing but old white men running America since before the Declaration of Independence. And it is important to note that a good estimate of the number of avowed or (closet) racists worldwide is also somewhere between 30% to 50% of the world population. So this could affect the way that America is treated as well.
So, even though Obama might signal hope for you and I and most of the people we know, he signals only change of the most terrifying kind to many people on earth. How they will react to him we can only guess at this point.

How Are You
Saying "How are you?" now the general response is "I'm fine" or "Oh, I'm fine. How are you?"
However, before 1950 this was a much more strategic saying because people got sick and died much younger as a general rule than now. For example, in 1950 I had whooping cough at age 2 and almost died that year and my best friend in school from age 12 on had polio until he was 6 and could only walk with braces and crutches until he was 6 or 7 years old.
Only with the advent of polio vaccine and shots to treat chicken pox, measles, whooping cough and other things did childhood deaths decline in the western world. So, as you can see, "How are you" back then and before meant also, "Are you well?" "Are you dying?" "Is anyone in you family dying or dead?" etc. Though it also is implied in the question still "How are you?" is a catch all phrase to find out who is alive who is dead and what is happening to you and will it affect me and mine. So "How are you?" in this sense is a very strategic question and only very recently has it become more inane just to mean, "Are you okay?" Because of this many people feel slightly offended to be asked this question even though in the past it was much more strategic and necessary to get enough information so people could survive anything coming their way.

The Entourage of Maitreya
It is my experience as a lifelong Seer that people are invoking through their prayers worldwide, Maitreya into manifestation in the physical on earth at this time. Since it is also my experience that Maitreya is also the second coming of Jesus, those of you who are Christians might also be interested in this.
There is a saying, "And even the rocks cry out his name!" For this is now happening, everything living is crying out at this time to source, life, God and Life, God, Source is now answering in every way at once.
It reminds me a lot of when I went to India in 1985 and 6. If one were traveling on bus or train one could not entirely count on everything working on time. However, magically, if one needed something, somehow everything turned out okay. Just not in any expected way, not in any way one usually could expect in the mechanized world of the United States or Europe.
Life, I have found is that way. If one way of doing things fails, another rises up to take its place whether for a moment, a day, a week or even years or centuries. Traveling around the world one can get used to this "Whatever Works" scenario.
Right now, people and animals are starving and scared all over earth and they are praying like never before in my lifetime. God is answering just maybe in a different way than you were expecting. If you are open to unexpected miracles and ready to adapt you will be fine.

Incest
How does incest start in any family? Maybe sometime in the last 5000 years, a mother dies young, a father grieves with his female children and alcohol is added to the mix and the problem begins. Realistically, unless children result the problem is different than you might think. The real problem becomes: what do people do with these feelings later in life? What does the father do when his daughter marries? What does the daughter do with her feelings for her father in her new marriage?
Like I said these things then go on for generations because once something happens it screws up the moral and psychological compass of all those generations that follow, whether it be one, two, three generations or even thousands of years.
These things can occurr initially, caused by the death of a spouse or child. So, this sort of thing happens around the death of a member of the family that no one, at least psychologically can do without. However, once comfort is sought in this way, it perpetuates itself through multi-generations in very strange ways.
There appear to be two basic reactions to these kinds of things going on. The first reaction is that people in such a family have no sexual boundaries and don't feel safe in any relationship and so are switching sexual partners frequently. The second reaction is to become celibate or asexual which then causes completely different problems.
So then the job of all family members is to bring these individuals back to some sort of balance, some sort of normalcy. Families need somehow to help members be able to feel safe in a good relationship and not to constantly stray and for the opposite reaction help celibate, non sexual or asexual members to realize what they are reacting too within the family long term.
Several generations back in one family, during the 1800s, a mother died and the father was left with three daughters. The oldest daughter was 9 and sought to comfort her father. He was drinking alcohol to soothe the loss of his wife. The oldest daughter left home after finishing school because she couldn't stop what was happening with her younger sisters. However, because of her relationship with her father she was vulnerable to other men. Eventually she met and married a good man who took care of her and had 5 children. When her youngest boy reached puberty he became interested in her youngest daughter. However, because of her relationship with her father letting them have a relationship helped soothe her guilt so she let it go on for several years. The rest of the children knew about this and were horrified and had their various reactions. The youngest daughter though very intelligent became emotionally, mentally ill from this experience even though she eventually married and had two healthy children. However, likely after having her two children she likely molested her son and her nephew at various different ages because of her lack of useful boundaries, also the mother eventually left her husband but came back often and remarried him a total of three times. I could go on but I'm up to the 1940s and I started in the 1880s to 1900. I'm only speaking about this because between one in three and one in four people worldwide are sexually abused as children. I don't have the statistics of how many of them are molested by mother, father, uncle,aunt cousins or siblings . However, I can say between 25% and 33% of all people on earth have been involved in experiences like this train of events. However, to be fair, incest can take many other forms too, with various kinds of effects on multiple ongoing generations as a result. It reminds me of the enabling son or daughter of an alcoholic. Having become enablers for their alcoholic parent they then become various kinds of enablers for their lovers, friends, spouses, and children as well. All these types of problems create various other problems down through the years and affect everyone in various ways ongoing.

In Memorium: Janice
Last night my wife handed me a letter. A friend was over and we usually get the best pizza in the county and bring it home on a Friday. However, when I saw the letter it was like a blow to the stomach. I didn't know there was going to be a Memorial for her and it was today, 12 hours later. I felt lost until I received a letter from my other cousin in Seattle that the weather was so bad she couldn't go either. So I felt better that I couldn't go because I'm two states away and she was only across a state.
The snow and then flooding in Washington has been severe. I felt relieved. I walked outside tonight to the biggest full moon that I can ever remember in my backyard. I brought my wife out to see it too.
They're all gone now. I'm the last of all my relatives alive that lived on my grandfather's 2 1/2 acres near seattle left alive now. My Dad's parents, my mother's mother, my Dad, my mother a few months ago, Billy, my cousin in 2001, Billy and Janice's mother in 2001, their father a few years ago, and Janice two days after Christmas. I'm all that's left now of those days. I'm the only one left alive that lived there. The child in my feels like a ghost because of it. Maybe it's just the full moon or maybe it is 3 blood relatives dying since June and my wife's father in July. Maybe it is just too much to feel in one year.

Ragna speaks about the weakening Magnetosphere
fiction?
Note: Ragna and Elohar first came to me from 7000+ AD in the fall of 1969. I was considering suicide at the time. They told me at the time that I must stay alive because something I would do in this lifetime would help prevent the extinction of the human race. I told them both at that time that even though I had no reason to live on I would do it for the good of the human race. At that time living on was a very great sacrifice for me. However, now I understand. From 1969 until 1973 I struggled to stay alive. One of the ways I stayed alive was many girlfriends. As long as I had someone who loved me suicide was out of the question because I could not emotionally harm them by taking my own life. Then in 1974 my son was born and ever since there has been no question in my mind that I would stay alive for my children.(biological or the human race)end note.
Though one might get spooked out by what I said in the note just remember that "Truth is much stranger than fiction. Always."
Now we return to Ragna and Jonathan sitting in his time space ship temporarily in the invisible mode in a pine forest on the coast of California overlooking the ocean. My dogs are asleep and dreaming near us inside the ship. They feel totally comfortable here on the "Awesome" Ragna's time space ship from the future of Earth.
Ragna speaks: "Jonathan, I'm interested in speaking with you today about the Magnetosphere.'"
Jonathan said, "Yes. I'm worried about it too."
Ragna went on, "Since you have discovered in your research that earth's magnetosphere is weakening, I am allowed to share with you certain important facts. First, you are right that it is caused by creating electricity by disturbing magnetic fields as has now been profusely done the last 100 years. It is one reason we never generate power in this way except in extreme emergency.
Though generating companies perfer this method because it is easier to charge people for electricity it eventually will lead to the death of all life on earth.
It is much better to tap into the magnetosphere without using magnets. Sucking power through magnets as is done now destabilizes the magnetosphere. Since you are not a physicist or engineer explaining why this is the case won't be useful. However, suffice it to say it would be like taking an automatic sander to a human being. At first it might be comforting but then over time all the blood would leak out of the person and they would die. The same is true of earth.
So the problem is not in the short term but in the long term. Within 200 years of the use of generating power by disturbing the fields of magnets life on earth will tend to become impossible on the surface of the earth.
Though scientists have known this for some time, any who talked about this have been discredited or made to disappear or both. Only you, Jonathan, will be allowed to write of this because you are a Galactic Liaison with Earth's governments. They cannot touch you for saying this. You are what they call a PPA (pivotal protected ancestor) of the future in addition to being a Galactic Liaison to all Earth's Governments. All earth governments know what the penalty is for interfering with you or the information you are designated to disperse to mankind and in decoded form to governments of earth."
Jonathan said, "Though I know all this is true when I really think about it it spooks me."
Ragna said, "It's a Catch 22."
Jonathan said, "I'm a designated paradox that conveys survival information to earth's people and governments and any who interfere with the Galactic Government were never born."
Ragna said, "Yes. That's how it's done."

the cold war never ended
Yes. The Soviet Union did end. Yes. democratic socialism came to Russia. Yes. china embraced capitalism.
But on any given day 30% to 50% of Russians and Chinese still basically believe like they did before 1989. Unfortunately, most of these people are either members of the Communist party in good standing in Russia and China or they are loyal supporters of the party and many are members of both governments.
The old Soviet Union said to the United States and Europe, "We will bury you." All my research these days demonstrates this philosophy is still alive and well in both Russia and China.
However, now it has changed slightly. It is more subtle and more deceitful. So it is a lot like the Cold War but more subtle. In other words China and Russia would like the Americans and europeans to be so disracted by Iraq and Afghanistan that we forget the real threats to our continued existence as a free nation.
Because of wanting access to 1.4 billion Chinese as customers American and Europen businessmen and women have consciously tried to suppress the truth of the insidiousness of China and Russia's actions. First, Georgia, Now cutting off natural gas to the Ukraine and europe, russia and china's weapons, especially missiles, in the hands of Hamas raining down on Israel every day. It is basically anything to destablize the western world by Russia and China, especially anything financial.
Our military is quite aware of all this going on. However, it isn't mentioned very much by American media. Because in the end what can we do: default on loans from China like Mexico, Central and South america did to the U.S. in the 1980s which triggered the Savings and Loan Crisis in the U.S. ?
A nuclear war will only extinct life on earth. However, it should be noted that China has done nuclear war models where enough of their people live on to rule the world after the holocaust. However, I don't think anyone would survive a nuclear war. However, everyone is going to believe what they believe and there is not much anyone can do to change them.
The Chinese strategy has been and always will be: If we destablize everyone else then we might be the only ones left standing.
Understanding this is wisdom. Not understanding this is the undoing of any nations that don't understand this.

Smarter men make more sperm
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090109/sc_livescience/smartermenhavemoresperm
"Turns out that intelligent people are generally healthier than their less-clever peers - studies have shown that brainiacs are, for instance, less likely to suffer from heart disease and Alzheimer's. Scientists have suggested that smart people may score less stressful jobs in safer places and that they may make better lifestyle choices, for instance by exercising more and eating better. In other words, maybe bright people actually listen to the Surgeon General."
In my life I have mostly surrounded myself with very intelligent people. What they all have in common generally is that they all think for themselves, don't necessarily believe what other people tell them without enough proof and make choices like in the above quote to live healthier lifestyles, take better care of themselves, ski, bike, fly, motorcycle, jog, swim, hike, sail, surf etc. In other words they find one or more outside recreations to both entertain them and keep them healthy. They try to have fun finding healthy foods, healthy mates and healthy friends. Whenever possible they move to the most beautiful areas find the most intelligent, compassionate and beautiful mates possible and make other intelligent friends who have similar interests.
What is most interesting to me about all this is that it doesn't really matter what class from poverty to wealth these people come up in. They all make really good decisions eventually even if at first they make bad choices. In other words really intelligent people not only learn from their own mistakes they learn from the mistakes of everyone they know or hear about.
This one factor sets apart really intelligent people from all others.

weakening Magnetosphere causing global warming
As I do more research more and more I am becoming convinced that the primary cause of global warming and global severe climatic change is not just co2 buildup but also our weakening magnetosphere.
I think I know the cause of why our magnetosphere is weakening. It is our use of electricity which is all created (except for solar cells) by breaking the field of magnets.
Somehow the breaking of the fields of so many powerful magnets worldwide is sucking out the essence of the magnetosphere. So we are literally killing ourselves by generating electricity in this way.
It is possible that the only safe way to generate electricity may be solar cells if we don't want life on earth to die long term.
Another concept I have had is: Is there a way to reverse this process and somehow build up our magnetosphere again?
My theory is that the sun generates our magnetosphere through plasma streams. It is possible that whenever we get power stations knocked out as in March 1989 in Canada from Plasma streams from the sun, the magnetosphere is being regenerated.
It is possible that the reason why the magnetospheres of Venus and Mars are so weak is that humanoids (possibly our ancestors) might have generated electricity there in such quantities that life became impossible on both planets because there is evidence that both planets once had a strong magnetospheres.
Since the magnetosphere also protects our atmosphere on earth from damage from solar winds it might be that by generating electricity by breaking the fields of magnets we are basically committing long term suicide for all life on earth.
I think I know the cause of why our magnetosphere is weakening. It is our use of electricity which is all created (except for solar cells) by breaking the field of magnets.
Somehow the breaking of the fields of so many powerful magnets worldwide is sucking out the essence of the magnetosphere. So we are literally killing ourselves by generating electricity in this way.
