Facts And The

Truth!

By T. J. Rockford

I'm fairly certain I don't need to bring up the facts about the truth being a scarce form of verbiage coming from our newly elected president, or for that matter from anyone in the white house!

  The unfortunate truth is, most of Trumps supporters and the majority of the republican party don't seem to care! How scary is that?

  Spreading falsehood's and lies so as to sell your idea's and hopeful agenda list is a dangerous, not to mention a scrupulous way of fulfilling your promises!

  I have an analogy I use about climate change that I believe it can be used here as well!

  "To what extent are you willing to go to?" What are you willing to sacrifice in order to fulfill your promises in "Making America Great Again" and prosperous?

Apparently Donald Trump is willing to throw out all rational thought and science fact in order to fulfill his craziness of making America financially independent! He is planning on putting into executive order a roll back of all emissions for coal fired plants and methane release! "To what extent are you willing to do this!" To the extent of plunging the world into disrepair? apparently!

  With all that is happening in America with the outrage of Trumps talk and lies, and his own party not speaking up and pushing back against his delusional remarks and comments really makes this troublesome to people like me! "To what extent are you willing to go?"

  Apparently the Republican party isn't looking at the long game here! What I mean by this, is the fact they will be pushed out for their incompetence!

  They are under the impression that Trumps delusional core supporters are enough to appease and make content!

 How wrong they are! Most of us live in reality and are smart enough to know fact from fiction! Most of us are smart enough to know what a lie is! Most of us have a moral compass, Or at least one that's working!

  Without a doubt there is a HUGE divide in this country! The problem is Trump has, and is doing nothing to help it, but he certainly is doing something to make it much worse!

  Another thing he is failing to see is the fact the majority of this country is firmly not on board with his insanity and lies!

  Despite knowing the divide he continues driving that wedge in deeper as if testing to see how far he can push us all! Maybe this is his goal? Maybe he is hoping for a civil war of sorts so he can capture some sort of complete power beyond being a mere President? After all he seems to admire dictatorship and authoritarian power quite a bit! 

  Trump has said a few times he wants the country to come together! But the way he wants this to happen is for everyone that disagrees with his lunacy to jump on board the crazy Trump train! Seriously? Yes this is how delusional Trump really is!

  We have replaced reality with falsehoods, we've been sucked into some alternate universe where those with a brain are shunned as being the enemy of our country and stupid has taken a main seat at the table!

  America is truly in trouble, and before it's to late, I would hope those in power such as in the congress and senate might step up to the plate!

Oh darn, that's right, both of those are majority led by the republican party!

 I suppose this is where we'll see common sense and truth either prevail, or we'll see it all go down like a sinking ship! Though if party lines matter more then the livelihood of our country the republican party is doomed! Potentially America could be doomed! Wouldn't Russia love to see that! I know their loving what their witnessing so far! Maybe they knew this would happen?

 Maybe this is why they helped get Trump to the white house? Maybe they knew this guy would destroy America with his fearmongering and hate talk?

"To what extent?"  To what extent is Trump willing to go? Where is he trying to bring us people that value our constitution and American way of life together? By painting a picture that immigrants are bad and all Muslims are evil? By not responding responsibly and timely about anti-Semitism events ripping through our country?

  Everything a good leader would do that all could respect and value he hasn't done, Like facts and the truth, but as an authoritarian he should get an "A!"

   

 

The lying Evil 

~~MEDIA!~~

By T.J.Rockford

 Here we go again! Donald Trump is on another rant about the evil, dishonest, crooked media! Really?

  First off I want to make one thing clear! I believe Donald Trump is a sexual predator! Not just a womanizer or misogynist! But rather a full blown threat to society!
  He, with his own words said he did things to women that I won't repeat, because we've all heard enough of it! Though now the women who have come forward and said he did these things are now all liars? I think not!

 Anyway, usually in any, and all other elections I have been through for the last 30 years (that I have voted in,) I never had to discuss topics of the nature that we all have been hearing and talking about of Donald Trump!

  Sure we went through the Bill Clinton era, But we never had a man running for president actually admit that he comes right out and sexually violates women as we heard on the bus!  Then right after we get the info we get bombarded by his pundit's and surrogates saying "Why talk about this? When there is so much more at stake, such as real issues?" ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

  To insinuate this is not an important or serious issue is plain irresponsible! Such as Trump surrogates and supporters, one being the Evangelical Christian Jerry Falwell Jr! This is a man that holds religion on his sleeve! His father being a famous televangelist, Jr followed the family business and is presently the president of Liberty University. Which his father had founded along with Liberty Christian Academy! 
  
 So exactly where does Falwell place his morals and beliefs? Obviously his political hopes and outlook lean more towards the political agenda then his so called faith! This is what makes religion a joke, farce, cult, etc to so many! When we are in the process of hiring the next leader of the free world, the most powerful nation on the planet, then YES, this is one of the SERIOUS issues Jerry!
  I think we need to take a serious look into these so called righteous religious institutions like Falwell's!  If their willing to support the like's of Trump what exactly is the message they are sending to the kids of these school's? 
  By supporting and not damning the most deplorable non-faithful candidate! Seems like their running more of a religious scam then a true god fearing place of faith! Playing the religion card for tax breaks and other goodies sounds like the right answer! It's a disgrace to those of us that actually do have religious and moral values! But get nothing, and expect nothing!

  Falwell is far from the only Evangelical Christian that is supporting Trump. There seems to be a very unfortunate large number of supporters still! Which should make people wonder what exactly would upset a true conservative republican of faith? You can't tell me their really serious followers of any god like the one I know! Nor can they say they support family values by backing Trump! That would just be a disgraceful sin six ways of Sunday! What kind of father says his daughter's a nice piece of ass? Trump! and he still gets support from the Evangelicals? They sure do have some strong family values! Time to end that charade!

  
 The sad thing that has happened within Trumps rise to power is his conspiracy theory talk of how the election is rigged! The establishment is bought, owned, and crooked! The F.B.I. is tainted, and finally the media is liars, dishonest, and owned by the elites that have manipulated it to work against him in order for him to fail!

  People can believe what they want! But I really want everyone to understand that what he is doing is dangerous and highly irresponsible!

  If he wants to argue a point of Hilary Clinton being irresponsible with the handling of her emails as the F.B.I. has stated (which I agree with 100%!)

He is being even more irresponsible with this type talk he has done, and is doing!

  Why and where is the danger? If you're asking this because you don't know or understand, then this is one of the reasons that type of rhetoric he is doing is dangerous! 

  When you make accusations that our electoral process is rigged! Or that it is specifically rigged against you, and this is why you will lose! 
  What type of message is that sending to the future of America? and even more so the world?

  This statement he has made of it being rigged is unequivocally false! The dangerous message it sends to all is democracy is a hoax! How can he say these type things and expect the kids of tomorrow to have faith in our country, the greatest nation on earth! 

 All they have been schooled on and brought up to believe in our electoral process as it being one of the reasons we are such a great nation! Only to have Trump spin a yarn because he is losing is highly dangerous! He flagrantly is mocking our whole system of democracy as being stacked against him, is and, should be a crime! 

  With this type accusation, how can we, as the leading example of democracy to the world, Brag, promote, prove what separates our nation from the rest of the world? Then turn around and preach and promote to other countries the reasons they should follow suit and use us as a model, to change, and aspire to be as great as we are?

  It will not work! As a matter of fact, just by the accusations Trump has made so far, he has seriously threatened the stability of nations around the world and our future working with them!

  Trump is losing in the polls!  Because of this, and the latest news of his sexual deviance, the republican party is fractured and not all are supporting him! So with the whole combination of factors, he has decided to take the scorch and burn approach to the rest of his run for office!

  Another big dog whistle he has been tooting, is the media is more corrupt then anything and all other things combined!

  He is, and has been, accusing the media outlets of telling lies and fabricating stories! Though back earlier in his campaign he was just putting down people and pointing fingers at specific outlets! Now he has turned against them all!

  The only outlet he apparently believes in, is this dark alt right site called breibart! Plus he trusts Shawn Hannity from Fox news! (Their buddies just ask Hannity!) Which I should point out isn't even a journalist! But rather a talk show host! Which makes him a big difference! First and foremost he never went to school for journalism! So he knows nothing of journalistic etiquette! Plus as well, Fox news is a right wing leaning conservative owned and operated news site! This is doing the public a true dishonesty! Especially by supporting Trumps fantastical conspiracy dreams!

  If people didn't realize this, all media outlets are owned by people that have political parties they support!  Some will tend to lean and talk of views that represent their own! Such as Fox which I just stated!

  Though not all outlets are as strong leaning as Fox!  Some will pour their political support on pretty thick which doesn't always represent professional journalism, and because of this Trump begins a ti raid of accusations against them, Such as CNN and the Washington Post! Trump goes after any and all media outlets that speak bad of him, or that report the TRUTH!

  The reason he says that the media are dishonest is because when they say the truth it makes him mad! When they tell the truth and stick on that subject for longer then he believes they should, he calls them Liars, dishonest and owned by the big corporate backers of the Clinton's!  Which is false! Think of all the different media based organizations out there! Like their ALL dishonest! The only thing going on that's dishonest is Trumps mouth!

  Trumps die hard core supporters believe that all the media is telling misinformation and spreading full blown lies! Even though they are showing exactly what Trump has said, and done! But because he accuses them of being dishonest his supporters believe it!

  This makes for an even bigger problem! and especially right here in America!  It threatens our constitution of the first amendment freedom of press. Even bigger it threatens the core of our democracy!

  Trump is mass producing conspiracy theories and people are eating it up! In my eyes when I see these people, and even more so, hear them, when they get into twitter battles, which even I have had the unpleasant experience of  being involved in! They take part in talk's of, "if he losses we want bloodshed!"

  This is how Trumps talk is a danger! I have a right to vote for who I want! Therefore I have to worry of getting shot because we disagree? This is what makes America, America! Not you're going to kill people because you didn't get what you wanted-ville! Trump is a danger! He is a threat and a danger to democracy as we know it! 
What amazes me is the lack of his supporters that don't realize this? Or more so, do realize it, but are still voting for him because of the issues that are at stake, such as the supreme court. 
  But the thing these people are missing is the fact the supreme court will matter little with how volatile this man truly is! Or just maybe this is what they like? The fire, and fight he has in him! Their savior! And they are willing to spill blood with him! What they don't realize is, he won't be on the battlefield with them! Or in any foxhole! Because in true life he is a coward! Nothing more then a spoiled rich snob/brat! He feels he is entitled, and has the right to get away with everything because he has money and is a bully!
I'm not afraid of him! I'm afraid of his stupidity, ignorance, and his complete lack of understanding anything, and unwillingness to learn the things he doesn't know!

  Trump is a full blown liar! Yet his supporters believe Hilary Clinton is bad because she's a liar!
  The simple fact is, they are both liars! But the factual truth is,, Trump lies over 80% of the time, compared to Clinton's 27%! Think about that for a second and let it resonate!
  Another factor is the Trump campaign is pushing these hacked emails which in all reality are nothing! These are things you would see in ANY campaign that had their emails hacked! 
  We have to remember where, and who, hacked these emails! Trump has a very unhealthy admiration of Putin in Russia!  This should make all true conservative republicans nervous! especially knowing who has hacked these emails! How patriotic Trump is! Instead of being hard on Russia, He lies and say's, "There might not even being any hacks going on!" What the hell does that even mean? I mean really? We know who genius! Way to lie and save face for your buddy!
  The Republican party using these emails for the content, with caring little for the fact of how they were acquired and by who?
  So next election when it's the republicans emails that will be hacked and used by a foreign entity they won't mind?  Just sit back with little care of the factors involved into the true crime being committed?
  Compared to being a sexual predatory? Emails ~vs~ predator Do you really need to check your moral compass to think about this?

  In the end we will all vote for who we feel is the most competent and has the best policies in place. 
  Trump had run his company into the ground in the 90's! while others flourished and prospered! All of his adviser's and friends told him, but he didn't listen! Just like his campaign has been telling him to stop doing what he has been doing with his insistent tweeting, and his bad mouthing at the rallies! Has he listened to them? No! So what makes you think he'll listen while in the white house? Can America afford that?
 Trump is a known misogynist and as we know now has admitted to being a sexual predator, and proof has come forward! Can we afford another sexual scandal in the white house? Which we know would happen if elected! All of his supporters have empowered him to get away with it, with very little care or concern! 
  And what did Clinton do? She lied!

  The choice is your's and mine! I suggest you choose wisely! Please!

WHERE WILL AMERICA DRAW THE LINE?

WHERE WILL AMERICA

DRAW THE LINE?

By T.J. Rockford

If your like Donald Trump the republican presidential candidate front runner and you believe that global warming isn't happening, Well your delusional!

Here's a graph of global warming recordings from the

last 135 years! 

  97% of the scientific community is agreed upon, that due to human activity by releasing certain man made gases into the atmosphere it has, and is causing the earths temperature to rise!  

Since the dawn of the industrial age it has, and is rising at an alarming rate!
  As the Earth moved out of ice ages over the past million years, the global temperature rose a total of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius over about 5,000 years. In the past century alone, the temperature has climbed 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.    

  So when you see a proven scientific measurement that shows a rise of 0.7 degrees Celsius rise in a hundred years that's alarming!
  What else it shows, this is at our industrial push into the modern era! So then we add the fact we understand our atmosphere and how it works, and the types of gases being released into the atmosphere, and what can, and can't be filtered out. As well as how long it takes to be filtered and then we start doing the math and wondering!

  Wondering what the potential impact could take place due to the rapid rise in temperature? We can play out a role of scenarios which we know aren't really to great for anything living on earth, Or in the waters! 
  We know sea levels will rise, We know that by adding to much fresh water from ice cap and glacial melt off it will affect the salinity in the oceans! Which in turn will create a whole host of problems, and some possible severe problems that we don't quite even understand yet! Though we know it could potentially be catastrophic! If you like gambling this isn't the thing to gamble on!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/05/20/10-things-you-should-know-about-sea-level-rise-and-how-bad-it-could-be/

  Models predict that Earth will warm between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius in the next century. When global warming has happened at various times in the past two million years, it has taken the planet about 5,000 years to warm 5 degrees. The predicted rate of warming for the next century is at least 20 times faster. This rate of change is extremely unusual.  

  These are figures at the rate at which we are going now without change! So if we actually start to progressively act we may be able to help curb this warming acceleration!
  If we go the path of what Donald Trump has planned "if he becomes elected," Well putting it bluntly we are screwed!
  With Trump in his near 70's he could care less of what happens in the next hundred years! Which gives you a pretty good picture of his character into his views on caring about his kids lives or their kids lives for the future!
  But then again I think I have a pretty good picture of how much his children really give a hoot , By going on their big game hunting trips shooting exotic animals such as Lions, Cheetahs, and African Elephants, Just for fun! It's a rich thing you know!
  The world cries about people killing off the worlds Elephants, But as long as you have enough money they'll sell you a permit! Quite a world we live in! And their showing you just how much they hold it in regard!

  I suppose if your in that upper bracket of financial security maybe your concerns are less because they may feel they can buy their way out of it, Or somehow pay to be able to survive what the rest of most of us will not be able to do! So I guess that shows how much Trump really cares about the rest of America! Or the world for that matter! But we are all pretty aware of his stance on anyone who is not of this country or his ethnicity!

  Every kid growing up in the last 20 plus years has been taught, and is learning of the consequences of global warming. As well their learning of what needs to be done to help solve the issues! 
  Then you have this guy running for president telling everyone he thinks it's a hoax! How smart is that? Considering in the beginning of this article I stated 97% of the scientific community is agreed upon this known climate fact!
  If your willing on gambling on that 3% that isn't satisfied with the findings you might want to know that 3% are the scientist backed by the oil and coal industry! If you can find comfort in that then we're all truly screwed!

Trump says it's a hoax then why this? Really great president he would make!

http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/06/08/a-climate-contradiction-joins-trumps-long-line-of-flip-flops/?smid=tw-nytopinion&smtyp=cur

  Trump has stated he will squash everything the Obama administration had accomplished in working to curb climate rise!
  Trump will break from our signed U.N. Paris accord that 197 nations have signed!
So you can expect places such as China to follow suit and continue everything as the U.S. in full swing!

  "TRUMP STATES GLOBAL WARMING A HOAX!" http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-vows-cut-us-funding-climate-change/story?id=39410375

 Trump in his talks to the folks from the U.S. energy coal and oil dept stated a slew of things he would do to get them working full tilt in his scheme to make the U.S. money!
  Another thing he is all for is the practice of fracking, Which we know will deplete our fresh water supply, as well as pollute our remaining water supply, and we know it causes a negative affect to the geography which in turn has been causing earth quakes out in the Midwest!
  So in case you didn't think it could get bad go ahead and cast your vote for him and find out how much more worse it can get!
  
  The one big thing to keep in mind is even if you could care less about your own life or anyone else's on the planet! How about your families live's? How about their future and if you're looking at it from a financial perspective it really won't matter much compared to the actual quality of life there will be on this planet, if this were all to actually happen!

  Trump is the most intellectually defunct person I have ever seen, yet less run for the presidency of this country!
  I just can't believe he has made it this far running for the Presidency with NO knowledge of foreign affairs, Totally ignorant to how this world works on a global scale, And is willing to to accelerate the global warming process 100% with ZERO regard of our lives! Our AMERICAN live's! Our CHILDREN'S LIVE'S! 

  If the people of this country are willing to let this all happen and then sadly to say this country has certainly lost any values! Family values, Moral values, And just plain humanity values! 
  I truly cannot believe people would stand behind this insanity! The sad thing is that global warming is already here and is affecting the world now! It's truly just a matter of time before we all are impacted, But we actually have a choice for the speed of this to happen, and so many are willing to just let it all end now! 

THESE GRAPHS ARE TAKEN FROM OUR PAST RECORDED TEMPS from 1850-2016

AND PUT IN MOTION FOR A BETTER VISUALIZATION!

Spiral temp increase page

  This country has seen and had rough times, But when all rational thinking is replaced with desperation for making money this is not good for America, Or the world! It's sheer insanity! A form of mass hysteria!
  When people are willing to lay down in defeat and sacrifice a planet, and the one and only planet we live on! All for the dollar! 
 Well maybe we should just kill ourselves off and let this all happen because we for certain have no place in this universe if this is what we are willing to let happen! 
  I thought it was bad from the speed at what we've been moving at to do anything about global warming as it's been, But now with Trumps plan! WOW! It's just amazing he has any supporters at all, I would think!

    It really seems to me that with every new statement Trump says, or even his simple remarks, he tries testing how far Americans are willing to go, and still back him!
  He views women as sex objects and a step below man, He shows extreme prejudice, He has threatened the use of nuclear weapons and promotes for more nukes for the world to have to deal with, He is ignorant to world economics and foreign affairs, His child like name calling is an embarrassment to any respectful intelligent American person, As well it displays his maturity level! And if people were smart they would see Trumps true ignorance! By people showing this man support he is mocking Americans intelligence! It's truly staggering the following he has! As well as sadly pitiful the amount of American citizens willing to stoop and bow to this man's level!

  I personally feel that Trump really has no desire at becoming the President! I mean really why would he want the job? He's already rich! He would be under a great burden and could potentially go down in history as the worst President ever, Or the man that destroyed the world! There's a great legacy to leave behind!
  With all the zany ideas and remarks he makes there is no way it will make "America Great Again!" It's as if he is trying to push people away, But instead it draws more people in! I hate to keep throwing the word intelligence around, But come on America where do you draw a line?

  I would just rather vote for a rock compared to what our choices are, But empowering Trumps insanity is far from the right solution! He will lead the country and the world down a path all will one day regret if they let this happen! And taking it back will be far from an option! Things like "Only if" apply for casino gambling not the fate of this world! Settling for this because of it being what people feel "The only option!" How lost this country truly is, and has become!
   
Here's a view of a few graphs showing just how much of a "HOAX" Global warming really is Mr. Donald Trump! And mind you these are not unpredictable models! These are factual recorded temp increases accelerating greatly over a course of a few years by the Earths scale of time!

SKEPTICAL SCIENCE

WHERE'S THE WATER?

WHERE'S THE WATER?

By T.J. Rockford

  One would assume with this planet being covered with more water then land this wouldn't be an issue, Well guess again!

  The Earth is covered by 71% water and of that over 96% of that water is in the ocean, So that leaves a little less the 3% left as fresh water!

  Seems like a small number considering the amount we see in areas such as the great lakes, or for the fortunate few that still have a lake in their back yards unlike some not so lucky people in parts of the world where their lakes have all but disappeared!

  We humans are facing some serious and troubling times in the not so very near future! Oops, The future is here! See how fast that happened!

  Those that do pay attention already see parts of the U.S. that are facing a water shortage and a crisis. We have been constantly hearing of the shortage of water in California and this has only gotten worse over the years.

  It's far from just California that is affected! There is a shortage happening all over the globe! Though we in the U.S. tend to back shelve others issue's until they affect us in some form or fashion directly!

  Lake Meade is at a historical low presently and the water department there is letting it dip a few more feet before they start a bit of relief by opening the gates! Which certain areas can fall and rise due to conditions, But the conditions the human race is facing is one that is slipping from our control each and every day!

  Our climate is in a change that is heading in an uncertain direction though we can paint a pretty good picture! As for what is going on presently with water shortages in certain areas of the world we do know are because of what humans have done and are still doing!

  
  Human interaction is the cause and affect it's that simple! We see the cutting down and burning of the rain forest in South America and this is being done to create more land for food type essentials such as crops and mostly cattle. 

  Unfortunately in doing this it has caused a change in how everything works environmentally in this area and the affect is being felt!

  South Americas largest city Sao Paulo Brazil is literally almost out of water! Who in the world could imagine this happening? I know I'm having a hard time! For the last few years they have actually had count down's to the day they would be completely at empty!

This is one of Brazil's Aquifers! As you can see

instead of  water it's growing grass!

  I think of South America and the rain forest I think of nothing but a damp and wet place! Well thanks to all the deforestation it has changed the weather patterns in that area and this is what happens!

  It's not just there where water is going extinct it's all around their neighboring villages and cities as well even Rio De Janeiro is going dry! 

  It sounds like some crazy conspiracy theory especially considering their location we are speaking of! 

  This is no conspiracy and it is really happening! So if we see it happening there let's do some hunting!

  We see the effects happening around areas of large populations which of course makes sense! The problem is the population! New studies show that more than half the people in the whole world suffer from catastrophic drought conditions at least one month out of the year!  Then a quarter of the worlds population is in drought conditions the whole year long! 
  How are those statistics? Sound alarming? We haven't even scratched the surface, and the surface is looking pretty dry, and scary!

  One of the big problems as said is the worlds out of control population growth! With more people come more needs! Needs such as food! 
  Now agriculture is a huge area of water consumption and you need to see it in this perspective.
  Humans need to eat and we eat things such as vegetation from crops. Needless to say it takes an amazingly large amount of water to grow things in case you didn't know!
  Now we have to look at food items such as cattle! Cattle eat crop items as well so now we are growing massive amounts of crops for cattle along with humans. It's a whole lot of water!

  The next biggest water consumer is industry such as agriculture and mining! With the newer technology of fracking to get to oil it takes a huge volume of water and even worse it pollutes as well! As if the water waste wasn't bad enough we're going to poison the rest of what's left! Makes sense only if your a human!
  
  With the way the climate has been changing and the greater volume of water humans are using mother nature is not providing enough to balance the usage out! We are just not getting the same amount of snow and rains to offset this and there is only one solution! Well there is a couple but I don't think 4 billion out of the 7 on Earth will like being told they need to leave!

  The other is our insane consumption of fossil fuels! We have been told what is happening to our climate! We know the deal and now it is getting even worse for the human race and our survival what will we do? 
  The answer is continue our insane course of self destruction!

  Think of how rain is produced by our atmosphere soaking up the moisture from the earth until it soaks up so much it eventually comes back down as rain or snow!
  When the water from rivers and lakes have been depleted there is nothing left for the atmosphere to soak up and you can see where this cycle is going!

  Of course this is only going to be the issue in certain areas as most of the planet is covered by water from the oceans of the world! But by doing the things we do it is causing a negative impact nonetheless!
  South America is not the only place where deforestation is happening! This is happening at a global level even the islands of Indonesia's rain forest are suffering now as they to have been cutting down the forest there as well! And guess what for? If you said oil you get a gold star!

  I really just can't get over the fact that we do what we know is the thing that will destroy us all! It's not even a matter of IF! It WILL! The only big question is when and how?
  Will we die from a water shortage first? Or will the climate have changed so drastically that some catastrophic event will happen and beat the water shortage to the punch!

  I do believe the earth feels what is happening and in order for the earths own survival it will do what needs to be done out of sheer self preservation!  
  We know this has happened through the earths history and every time there has been something tipping the scales such as climate issues something ends up giving!
  
 We humans have an attitude that we are so smart, We have it all figured out! I see Saudi kings act and look like they are above everything in existence
 and nothing will affect them! 
  I see the Pope and the way he carries himself like this is no biggie shielded 
from any dire events! 
  The same goes to these rich people such as "the Donald" (Trump!) His own arrogance will shield him from all!
  Funny thing about him (Trump) was the fact he publicly denounced climate issues as being a hoax and blamed the government for wasting money trying to do stuff about it! Despite the fact that 97% of the scientific community is agreed on reasons for climate issues!
  
  The other crazy thing with Trump is at the same time he's telling everyone it's a hoax his company is applying for permits to build this huge sea wall over in Ireland at one of his golf courses!
  All due to the fact they predict that sea levels are rising faster then predicted due to climate change, and they want to protect the golf course! 
  Talk about unpredictable, and people want this guy to run a country! Our species is out of control!

  The truth is no matter your beliefs or religion, if your rich or poor, good looking or ugly, short or tall, fat or thin, blue eye's or brown, your screwed!
  Simple as it may not seem we are looking at the beginning of the end! People will deny this and say things can get under control! It's a load of B.S.! 
  We are in a death spiral and the people smart enough realize this and hence fourth why things are still going and moving as always!
  We just can't stop everything in order to save the world! It just can't happen like that! 
  The people smart enough to see what shape the planet is truly in, and know that no matter how much we cut back stuff like the burning of fossil fuels it won't change anything at this point! Because it will be way to little way to late!

  If anybody has doubts just look at the shortage of water and ask yourself, How is this going to be resolved anytime soon? 
  All of these things were on there way to happening it was just a matter of time! It wasn't supposed to be this quick! I remember all the science talk of projections and what would happen if we didn't do certain things what would happen by a so and so date! Well guess what? That date was way, way off!
  
  Here's a little point to ponder! Back in the early 90's when hurricane Andrew wiped out Homestead Florida, I had gone down to do some work and help out.   The devastation that was done was incredible! And it has stuck with me like it was burnt in my brain forever! 
  It was truly horrific! What was even more horrific is what people are capable of when there is no food or water around! 
  People had to stand in line for hours upon hours just to get a jug of water and a small bag of sandwiches! These were the people that had lost everything and had nowhere else to go!
   I witnessed people at their best and worse all in one shot! I witnessed several beatings!
   I saw one guy that was accused of cutting in on the food and water line! He got jumped and beat half to death by 5 other grown men! 
  His whole nose was bitten off, half of one ear was bitten off, and he was knotted up so bad from the swelling of the blows to the face he looked none human! And yes I said body parts were bitten off! This is what people are capable of! 
  
  So now imagine a country, or a whole continent that is running dry of water or near enough they know something needs to happen!
  Water shortages will mean food shortages, starvation will be rampant! And yes it always leads to wars, just like the guy cutting in line somebody will get beaten! 
  lots are bound to die, and yes this was all foreseen years ago!  Heck I think this is even in the bible if I'm not mistaken! But I'm more of a hands on, need to see it happening in front of me kind of guy!  
 Well guess what? It's happening!

  I'm sure people will take little heed to what I've just said here, And some will not believe it at all!'
  If there is any smart people curious they will probably go online to see if any of this is remotely true, Which they will find it is!
  But what happens then? Most will just be thankful it hasn't affected them yet in any capacity! That doesn't mean it's far away from happening though!
  Others will say screw it! There's nothing I can do! So that's just what they'll do, Nothing! 
   Seem's like that is the biggest problem with all of this! No one is willing, Or for that matter cares!

  So for the time being in these early stages everyone sitting in their beautiful home's on some serene lake with a view, Such as myself! Enjoy it while it's there! And as a suggestion if you have family I would try to keep that lake view home, as that water in the back yard just might  be a gold mine! Or even more important it might be your last chance for survival, That is if can protect it, and yourself just like that guy cutting in line!

  There are some factors involved with South America's predicament. One being they had been warned five years before everything started going dry that this was on the way, But did nothing to seek any alternative measures!
  Not that there were many choices short of screwing something up even more so!
  The point being the more we use the more we have to seek other areas to tap into and then the more we deplete and screw up another form of pour environment! 
  It's a vicious circle and one that industry with big money at stake care's little about! 
  When does our survival outweigh the all mighty dollar? For your sake or your children's sake, people better start asking these questions!

IMAGES OF THE ARAL SEA BEFORE AND AFTER 

HAVING WATER DIVERTED BECAUSE OF SHORTAGES!

NOW WHAT?  

  

  

How's your Chinese?

Not again!

T.J.Rockford

 First off let me apologize for doing something I hate doing, and that's repeating myself!

  I seem to bring up the topic of China A LOT! Well I suppose It's only understandable wouldn't you think? If you need to ask why? Or even wonder for that matter, It's because you haven't been to busy thinking of it, Or about it! 

  China only use to be a place I would moan and bitch about because everything I bought that was from there was always breaking!

  Really I had no notions, or any knowledge of what China was really up to? 

  People I was chumming around with during this era a few years back had other things on their mind, Such as the big recession! Bank bailout's, Stock market tumbling, You know stuff like that!

  I really wish I could go back in time a short trip! Just so I could take a better look into what the heck China was up to then! 

  I really don't even know if it would of sunk in then or not? I sure know it's sinking in now! The scary part is, It's wicked scary!

  I could write a whole book on the progress China has made over the last 20 years and most people would probably never believe it!

  I talk about China in almost all my article's, if only to mention their name! Just because they are that much of a force in these times.

  Why would I say this? Without repeating myself to much from prior rant's I'll just mention some specific's for those who might like to ponder a few things!

  

  Imagine a country something like, Hmmm Let's say China! and this country came along into your country, and your a country that has a large population, very under educated with little in the way of revenue and high poverty.

  Now let's say a country like China come's along and make's a proposal to catch your country up to speed with the 21st century!     Offer to construct new buildings, and home's, and roads, as well as a new transportation system specifically railway, Jobs, schools, and the biggest thing support! Support to get this all done, and support to keep things running for an economy.

  The deals consisted for China taking control of all the minerals rights, mining, lumber, you know pretty much everything Africa had!

   Certain parts of Africa consisting of some of the more poverty stricken areas where people will work real cheap, I think is where the Chinese had an Epiphany!

  Seeing how they were already taking advantage of all of the natural resources, the Chinese figured a way to make even more money off of an already poor nation! 
  
  all the materials used to do all this construction from the concrete, to wood, and steel, Etc, were all supplied by the Chinese, But all the raw materials for the construction being done were taken from Africa by the Chinese in the first place! Being charged for your own raw material!
 and at the same time China got a big gain on some territory that no other nations cared much about, Until now!

The one thing I want to point out before going further is the fact that for a very, very long time, nobody wanted anything to do with Africa!

  It was looked at kind of how we look at the middle east now. Just was a waste of money and time. Africa was a dismal pit of despair that had the potential to suck the life out of anyone who dared get involved in their unhinged turmoil! 

  Very much like South America use to be. I'm saying this to bring up a point, which you should get as we keep going along here.

  So with nobody wanting Africa, it kinda made it like the front door was wide open for whoever was willing to take her for a spin!

  I don't mean like the multitude's of idiot scum bag rebel type that rise up to power here and there taking control!

  But China on the other hand! they are very well at controlling the masses! Why would Africa be any different?

  China had made the deal, as I had stated, of modernizing Africa's transportation rail system for faster and safer transportation, Which was seriously in despair! seeing how it has been around since the British empire. 

 With all sorts of great promises of giving a better life to the African people, Or so was the thinking I assume!. 

  This modernized rail system would span the Congo, Kenya, Sudan and beyond! But the price tag on this endeavor is astronomical! The big thing you have to look at are all the loan's these African countries are procuring from China, it's truly off the chart's! 
  But with the new Chinese world bank they have a lot of money their willing to invest! The Chinese reach is getting tremendous!

  Just the rail system is over 30 billion dollar's! This isn't including all the other activity going on throughout all of Africa! If one were to do some digging around and adding up some number's they would see figure's toppling over 100 billion dollar's in loans continent wide! 

  One might say well that's not much for a continent, look at the U.S. and their figure's for money that is borrowed!

  The U.S. and Africa are two different creature's! Africa of course with her large population, and unemployment rate, as well as the high poverty rate isn't very attractive to most nations. 
  I should emphasize certain countries in particular seem like a high risk proposal! China is obviously doing more then gambling! There is obviously a laid out plan if any kind of financial slip up were to occur!

  China had seen opportunity for the taking! and why not? The western world wasn't helping to make the continent flourish! Sure we would supply aid here and there, but most of the countries in Africa were, and are, thirsty for modernization and some sort of financial gain if possible!

  The really big problem here is that all of the years the western world has been doing our little bit of helping within the continent was mostly to promote democracy!

  Now that all of Africa is getting a taste of China's financial services they are enjoying the flavor! 

  But this flavor is coming with a cost! and this cost is the pressure's from a non-Democratic country such as Communist China!

  With all this lending of money from this Communist country it has giving China a big voice in all of the government doings of all the countries involved. Such as what type of future progress any of these countries might be seeking! 

  The generosity of a China which is stripping the continent of all her natural resources and turning a dollar at every corner!

  The Chinese are very well known for their lack of compassion towards workers and any type of workers rights! Let's just say they don't have any human resources dept for worker's to run to! 

  If you happen to be one of the lucky African citizens to gain employment for all this work activity that China has been showering upon Africa, you better not get hurt! because the Chinese won't support you, or help in any way!

  The only help you will receive is help out the gate! where there will be 500 million other unemployed African's ready to die for that 150 to 200 dollar a month job that barely is enough money for a person to survive!

  What a deal for Africa! Give up your democracy, give up your resources, give up your country, and to boot the African people are paying China to have this all done! 

  How isn't this a good deal? For China anyways! Well I guess on the bright side the African people are learning a new language! That's an important feature to have on your resume! even in the American work force nowadays!

  If you look at some of the stuff China has done to make friends with cities and countries around Africa it's enough to make a person cringe!

  One big thing China has done for quite a few cities throughout all of Africa is build around 60 of these huge soccer stadiums and giving as gifts! 
  Just a way to break the ice to start the big take over process one would wonder! Knowingly, Or unknowingly by these African government officials is the big question?

  Or maybe that's all it takes to win the hearts, and the rights to all the people of Africa, is some nice new soccer stadiums! If I had only known!

   When I say the rights of the people one must understand that all the kids that go to these new built schools are required to learn to speak Chinese!

  Not that anything is wrong with that, but wouldn't you think it should be the other way around? China is in their country!
  I wonder how that agreement had evolved? Was it a demand from China, Or a friendly request? I can only speculate, But I do have a fairly good idea!
                                                       

  None of this makes sense? Here the African people have to pay back all this money they borrowed from China to have the Chinese come into Africa, refine all of the African natural resources that it would take to do all this work, Then have the Chinese do all the planning on how, and what would be built! all in accordance to how the Chinese wanted it done! 
    
  The one and only requirement in this deal for the African people was to lose their dignity! Not only didn't they put up a fight, but their paying the Chinese to really make it sink in to who the master of the house truly is! 
  This might sound harsh, but it sure looks this way! Although it just may be, what needed to be done in order to work!                                                                                                                 
  Essentially all it took was a government willing to take the heat from the rest of the world for screwing over and taking advantage of an underdeveloped poverty stricken people!
  The whole situation is just so crazy it sounds impossible to be true! Unfortunately it's very true!
  Although as I have said some of these African countries just don't get enough in the way of an economy, so China came across as a good investment. Time will tell!
   
   Try imaging China coming here and doing this, Oh boy! While your pondering this thought, add in the factor of the amount of American business's that China has ownership of.

  You better be sitting down when you find out the actual figures, because it's a lot! 

  It truly is sad that a country would do what has been done in Africa! Forcing a people to lose everything, including their identity! What's even worse is the powers that be in Africa have done this to themselves, and their people!

  Can you imagine going around the world forcing everyone to learn English?  Like that would ever happen in China!

  The point is China is dominating everything and everyone everywhere they go!

  Where and when will the line be drawn?  I'm going to stop this topic here because China's reach has extended farther then Africa, and the reach I'm referring to is more then just business ownership!

  It's the reach where they have a presence involved, which in turn requires a need to protect that interest. How do countries protect their interest? Just look into what China has done in the South China Sea! 

  I want to leave everyone with one more thought on this matter and it's a matter of historical fact!

  The facts are that every time a country has done what China is in the process of doing, and to the point they're willing to push it. 

 "The Chinese say their (Protecting) their interest! Their not (pushing) their might around by a show of military force!"

  Though anytime in history it has gone this particular route, In this particular fashion, it's always ended up to an eventual war!

  
 Just a factual tid-bit of info to ponder! until the next time on Rockford File's 2.Oooh! File's report! 

Always remember that the rate at which our climate is going through changes, in the long run no one will be a winner!
