Governments now to tax green initiatives

Since it has now become clear that we are in fact entering a global cooling instead of global warming phase; governments has implemented tax on all carbon friendly initiatives. The governments were forced to change their taxing focus because we suddenly need all the carbon in the air we can get.

Global cooling and an imminent ice age can leave economies and regions devastated with crops failing and global food shortages. So, governments are left with no choice but to increase taxes on all “eco” friendly initiatives like solar power, wind power, hybrid cards and especially recycled and renewable energy sources. “We urgently need more carbon in the air” governments urge everyone’s help on this “and those that can’t help, must just keep on paying taxes…”

Governments haven’t decided what to do on the “old” taxes that are still enforced on companies and people for carbon emissions. This tax will for now also remain in place and the money will be allocated to initiatives to reverse previous harmful policies that were introduced to cut carbon and energy use. “We ask all citizens to remain calm and keep paying your taxes, we know what we are doing”, governments around the world explain.

Some scientists belief that human and human’s impact on the environment have little to no affect on the global climate system. That this change might be part of a long cyclical weather pattern we are going through, measured over thousands of years. It might fall part of a “seasonal” change our solar system is going through but because our history books don’t stretch back that far, we don’t have records of these “seasonal” changes on a solar system scale.

Governments don’t accept this last theory because this means they need to blame the universe or “god” for these climate changes and they can’t blame nor tax these entities. “Just pay your taxes and don’t ask questions” they have responded with.

What credit crunch?

They say a butterfly’s wings on one side of the world can cause a hurricane on the other side. Maybe the same person, who said this, also asked if a tree falls in a forest and there is no one to hear it, will it make a sound… This is how I see this credit crunch effect on the world and world economies. What started off as a decline in properties values, placing risk on financial institutions and what happens? The world falls apart financially speaking.

It does look like things have been set-up to fall and many of the pieces are coming apart. It started with property, then financial institutions, then car companies this filtering down to you and me. I sometimes wonder if this credit crunch is not being made worse by ourselves. We see the fall-out on the news media and the talk of companies closing; people losing jobs and this in turn make us as consumers more conservative with our spending.

We delay making decisions on whether to extend the house, replacing the car that needs replacement and not buying those expensive items where you need to make more loans. These decisions are also being made by companies, making plans and cutting costs and reducing spending with the view that this credit crunch will also affect them. If everyone is doing this with the view that the credit crunch will affect them in the future; are we then not “designing” that future for ourselves?

If this is true then I suspect the idea of the credit crunch is being “sold” to us and we are “buying” into the concept. We are making the effect of the credit crunch worse, causing more people to loose their jobs, more companies closing, more nationalization of large enterprises in the name of a rescue plan. This cause more economies moving into recession and ultimately depression. Are we looking at another world war on the horizon caused by desperate people and nations?

What are the potential outcomes of this worst case scenario? Has this credit crunch been designed and sold to us for a worse case scenario outcome?

The right side of history

These strange words were used by Bill Clinton recently. Sometimes I think we as a human race are living on the wrong side of history. Today will be remembered again for something that happened on 11 September 2001. On that day, several people decided to move the human race to the wrong side of history. The day our freedoms were taken away (the little we’ve had) and it was replaced by the enemy that was created on that day; the terrorist.

That historical event was used as an excuse to mane and kill thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in Afghanistan and Iraq. That historical event was used to monitor all our voice and electronic conversations for future use. People are placed on special security lists based on criteria which are never explained.

All this is happening due to a historical event where a huge lie was “sold” to us. On that day the rules of science changed. Three tall buildings collapsed due to fire, something that’s never happened before in history. A large plane disappeared into a small hole at the Pentagon, another historical event.

I wonder who were the people who were on the right side of that history? Whoever planned an executed this was not an old bearded man sitting in a cave in Afghanistan. He had to be a great magician to be able to break the fundamental laws of science. He had to get the media on his side too. I just know whoever those organisations or governments were; they left us on the wrong side of history.

Are more people getting lost?

I have recently noticed that more and more people are driving with GPS devices in their cars. This was noticed not on an average week day but a Sunday, a day people go to shops or church or friends, depending on your choice of “religion”. So why do people need GPS navigation on a Sunday?

I can understand the functionality of this product for a sales guy, or a delivery fan or if you are in a big city or country for the first time, but Sunday morning outings? Is it that people have become bored to such an extend that they need some sort of distraction in the form of global positioning to make their drive more interesting? Don’t we already have cell phones, car entertainment systems and the act of driving to keep us busy?

What about using this time to have a conversation with the people next to you or if you alone, give yourself some time to reflect and think as per my previous post? These devices take up a fair amount of space on the front window and limit the road view extensively. This coupled with other distracting devices like cell phones, must make using the road a lot more dangerous for everyone else.

But my main concern here is for the individual that need this device for their average daily use. Have these people stopped using their minds? Are they constantly lost? As one manufacturer says; “You are lost without it”…come on, you might loose your mind without it because you might stop thinking! I’ve seen people becoming passengers in cars; they don’t focus on their directions and therefore get lost. These devices have the same effect.

Already stories of people turning into walls and drive into rivers or dead end streets, following the prompts of the GPS navigator as if they are driven like robots. People don’t consciously think anymore. They just listen to another “authority” to obediently follow and observe just like a machine. But maybe we are taught this way? I see many lost people in this world.

Time to think

Someone recently told me, referring to my blog, that I should write more. This made me think about my reasons for not writing more frequently. Life has become a marathon. Everyone I speak to, myself included, comment on how busy they are. What happened to all those advertised products that were supposed to give us more time?

People don’t have time to make food, so they buy processed food. Our computers get faster processors to make us working more efficient and faster. Our cars get more powerful and faster even though we don’t need more speed. We get irritated when service takes longer than we think we should be served. It feels like we are being programmed to act like machines. Work faster, quicker, more efficient year on year because our rationale is to make more money or to be able to pay the bills or to have more time for ourselves. But this seems to never to happen. We might make more money, but then we somehow find more things to buy, to save more time, which never happens.

We are so busy doing things that we struggle to do nothing. Have you observed people at a seminar? They constantly fiddle with something. Either a phone to read their emails and SMS or they make notes of things they have just remembered. During breaks they rush of to listen to their messages and return calls.

I thought of these things today during a mountain bike race. It is strange what fatigue can do to you. You reach a point where you get tired and exhausted and that’s when your body seems to move into an element of its own. Your mind become clear and you stop worrying about the daily stuff. You focus on what happening to you and your body there and now. It is as if you now have time to really think and focus on what is important.

Many philosophical books have been written on this subject. Some say you can reach it during meditation, others by means of physical endurance. People like Gurjief used physical labour in his teachings, Carlos Castaneda writes about the time he spend in nature in complete silence to be able to “see” and some religions like Buddhism makes use of meditation to quieten the mind. Not that I think religion per se is a good example to get yourself time to think more.

Listening to a preacher, rabbi or cleric is about as good as sitting in front of the television watching a soapie. It is just another form of hypnotising and won’t make you think more. In fact religion bars critical thinking; you should just accept everything you’re told, like a machine… We are constantly being fed by lots and lots of information, but we don’t have time to reflect and think. Maybe if we do, we will see more things in this world.

If this was only an April fools joke

Even if you were told to watch out for April fools jokes in advance, sometimes you still get caught out. But sometimes when I read or watch the news I wish they were April fool jokes. I sometimes wish they will come back and say, we were only kidding, it was not real, we were just trying to play a cruel joke on you…

So which news item was I hoping to be April fools joke? Well the biggest one that changed the world permanently as we know it must be the events of 911. News agents tell us it was a guy who planned and executed this military precision style operation from his cave in Afghanistan.

He was able to train some people with little or no flying skills to operate commercial planes in such a manner that it should be listed on the Guinness book of records in the case of the Pentagon crash. Not only was that pilot able to decent from 30 000ft to fly the plane just above the ground which must have resulted in some serious g force manoeuvres, but also he managed to level out and without touching the lawn, crash the huge plane leaving just a small hole in a reinforced concrete wall.

The this guy planned something else so amazing; he not only manage to plan exactly how much fuel will be needed in each plane so that when it crashes into the twin towers, that the fuel combined with the impact will makes these buildings collapse, but he also managed to collapse Building 7, a 50 story building without a plane getting close to it! He must have used a different kind of Jet fuel too, because normal Jet fuel burns at a too low temperature for it to cause steel to weaken enough to make those buildings collapse.

It’s also amazing to note that Building 7 was reported to have collapsed by all the mayor news networks about 30 minutes before it actually did. The archives of these news reports were removed from the various news agencies websites shortly after this was exposed on the Internet by some people.

So this 911 event started the war on terror, it is faceless and could be potentially be found in any place around the world. It’s the perfect enemy for the governments to ask for endless amount of funds to use as “prevention” and “justified” attacks. This is also a perfect excuse to use to control and limit everyone. I wish this has happened on 1 April instead of 11 September! Then maybe someone told us this was only an April’s fools joke.

Reading what has happened and how it happened that day makes you think it should have been some elaborate joke for a movie script but sadly this was not the case. It looks almost like it must have been planned by the same guys who planned the JFK assassination. 45 Years later and it is still difficult to distinguish between reality, truth and a cover-up story. Sometimes April fools jokes goes unnoticed and many belief them as real events as reported. The same seems to happen when lies are reported. I wonder what April fools jokes will be reported today?

Should we worry about global cooling instead?

Everyone talk about global warming and how humans were responsible for this. Global corporations are jumping on this opportunity because they see a unique situation to make more money. Governments around the world also see opportunities to get more taxes from us. Now they can tax us for everything that they or scientists perceive as us contributing to this global warming of Earth. So instead of developing technologies that are more efficient, they “charge” us for using their inefficient power sources like electric grids, gas guzzling cars, long range flights and even food.

Now new research indicates that we could be looking at a potential ice age soon. This all comes from looking at the solar effects on the sun. In this article: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/144859-What-s-going-on-with-the-Sun-Will-it-save-us-from-global-warming- it is explained that although we should have moved through a solar minimum, moving to the next sunspot maximum, this has not happened. The low sunspot activity has not happened since the period between 1645 and 1915 when a mini ice age was experienced in Europe.

So does this mean we should stop worrying about global warming? To what effect has our global warming been the result of human activity or have the majority of global warming effects been from external forces like the Sun? The article above says the following: “They estimate that the Sun's reduced activity may cause a global temperature drop of 1.5C by 2020. This is larger than most sensible predictions of man-made global warming over this period.”

It does appear that we might have to get ourselves ready for some serious cold instead. On account of this article it looks like global warming will be replaced by an ice age instead. Looks like Al Gore will have to make another documentary.
