Nobody’s Fool: Thomas Sowell

Nobody’s Fool

I came upon this man almost by accident. My mother ordered a publication called Newsmax around the year 2000, and I started reading it. It’s there that I found a man with so much wisdom, and common sense, that I literally started waking up to what was going on around me. This was back when President Clinton was shaking his finger at the American people.

Just last week, in his usual Radom Thoughts column he had these two things to say:

If we wake up some morning and find some American cities in radioactive ruins, courtesy of a nuclear Iran, nobody is going to care whether the president who lets this happen is the first black president or the last WASP president. But, in the meantime, many people will keep on voting for symbolism, as if an election is a popularity contest, like choosing a college’s Homecoming Queen or Parade Marshal.

Two reports came out in the same week. One was from the Pentagon, saying that, in just a few years, Iran will be able to produce not only a nuclear bomb but a missile capable of carrying it to the United States. The other report said that the American Olympic team has uniforms made in China. This latter report received far more attention, both in Congress and in the media.  

While I read many different books and magazines, internet blogs, etc…I have yet to find a man whose wisdom exceeds that of Thomas Sowell. To me, he is right up there with Mark Twain as an American Journalistic Icon. He is forever more— Nobody’s Fool.

Nuclear History…Who’s Keeping Score?

Nobody Reports

Sure, it’s fourteen minutes long, but if you watch this, you can’t help but wonder: Who in the world would want to live in the American West?. Since most of us have only seen scant video’s of nuclear bombs going off, we don’t really think about it much.

Isao Hashimoto made this to remind us all about it. It’s stops at 1998.

As I was listening to Mitt Romney today, talking about how important it was to  not allow Iran to become nuclear, I was reading this paragraph,  just a few minutes before, in the book “Shadow World” by Robert Chandler.

“Saddam Hussein also was well down the path toward building his own nuclear weapons. After the Gulf War and extent of the nuclear program fully exposed, Western scientists estimated that Iraq was twelve to eighteen months away from having nuclear weapons. Saddam had pumped $10-12 billion in building three uranium enrichment programs and the large foreign procurement program operating through deceptive practices. All told fifty-six nuclear production sites were identified by the UN Special Commission of Iraq. These sites included uranium mining, production, and processing sites. Saddam Hussein’s program is believed to have produced nuclear triggers, two of which are unaccounted for. Hans Blix, director on the UN International Atomic Energy Administration said that he was “shocked” by the enormity of Iraq’s nuclear program.”

Nobody Thinks that the nuclear situation is more dangerous today than it ever was…and IF President George W. Bush had made the case to the American people that Saddam had 56 nuclear production sites, instead of the WMD’s that he kept talking about, many of us would have been more in favor of going into Iraq.

It seems the whole Middle East is about to explode.

Mitt Romney gave a speech in front of our Veterans today, outlining his plans to build back the military, and bring us back into “Superpower” status. It seems the whole Iran thing is about to come to fruition in the next couple of years…no matter who is President. And when that happens, that LAST man you want in the White House is Barack  Obama.

 

Who’s Manipulating Whose Weather?

 

Nobody Knows

Who knew? We finally have something in common with Iran. Both the United States and Iran are suffering from severe droughts. For two years Iran’s southern territory has lacked for rainfall. For two years now, rain in United States has come pretty much as tornadoes or golf ball size hail, with not much in-between but short spurts of flooding.

Nevertheless, that’s where our commonality ends. Mahmond Ahmadinejad, disagrees with Al Gore about the cause of this unbearable heat.  

Last year, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Western countries of devising plans to “cause drought” in Iran, adding that “European countries are using special equipment to force clouds to dump” their water on their continent.

Those sneaky Europeans!

The drought in southern Iran is part of a “soft war” launched against the Islamic republic by the West, the Fars news agency quoted an Iranian vice president as saying on Monday. “The world arrogance and colonist (term used by Iranian authorities to label the West) are influencing Iran’s climate conditions using technology… The drought is an acute issue and soft war is completely evident… This level of drought is not normal “

First place, let’s admit that Mahmoud is taking a cue from one of our own late great Bill Cohen,  Secretary of Defence under President Bill Clinton, who not only said that weather manipulation was real, but went further to declare:

“Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts.”           

                                                                                —Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference.

Okay, so..let’s say that HAARP has been unleashed on Iran. Who is unleashing HAARP on us then?

Are there 17 white men somewhere playing poker games on the weekend with HAARP buttons as chips? Did they get tired of playing with the stock market?

And why doesn’t Iran just ask Abu Dhabi to give them some rain?

Fifty rainstorms were created last year in the state’s eastern Al Ain region using technology designed to control the weather. Most of the storms were at the height of the summer in July and August when there is no rain at all. People living in Abu Dhabi were baffled by the rainfall which sometimes turned into hail and included gales and lightening. The scientists have been working secretly for United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. They have been using giant ionizers, shaped like stripped down lampshades on steel poles to generate fields of negatively charged particles. These promote cloud formation and researchers hoped they could then produce rain.

Well gee…Nobody remembers when President George W. Bush begged the American people to let some of those guys protect our ports…how come they can do that in Abu Dhabi and WE can’t?

Or can we? Some of our storms this summer LOOK like an amateur weather manipulator and his coctail magician hour, of OOPS…I dropped the rabbit!

At this point, approximately 50 percent of America’s pastures and ranges are in “poor” or “very poor” condition. It’s said that 55 percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought at the end of June. That’s the largest percentage of affected land since December 1956, when 58 percent of the U.S. was covered by drought.

Our government has just announced that this is the biggest National Emergency in History.Obama is salivating…all he needs is one… emergency.

So, Nobody Thinks I’m sticking with the old scientific explanation that has been known to cause heat since the beginning of man: This is a picture of our sun on July the 12th.

If they CAN manipulate the weather, then they have a long way to go before they perfect it…don’t they? No doubt, like most things…they are just making a natural cycle of mother nature, MUCH worse.

Either that, or 17- old white men (I know, I can’t get off Harry Reid) want the two countries most likely to go to war…to BURN!

War Games…with Obama?

Nobody Reports

While Obama bows to a Mexican President, and is lectured by a Russian Monarch at the G-20 summit in Mexico City, here in America, we should be more worried about the upcoming war-games being held in Syria, and ask ourselves again: WHY did we not drill in Alaska again, Mr. Clinton?

The Iranian, Russian, Chinese and Syrian armies are due to stage joint amphibious exercises along the Syrian costs [sic] in coming weeks, informed sources revealed on Monday. According to informed sources, 90,000 forces from the four countries will take part in the land and sea war games due to be held in Syria. Russian atomic submarines and warships, aircraft carriers and mine-clearing destroyers as well as Iranian battleships and submarines will also arrive in Syria at around the same date. Syria plans to test its coast-to-sea and air defense missiles in the war games.

A sum of 400 warplanes and 1,000 tanks will also be used in the exercises.

Nobody Thinks that the very tough talk of John McCain and Hillary Clinton has done exactly what many secret conspiracy believers think those in charge wanted them to do: Ruffled more than a few feathers.

It’s nice that Americans are concerned about people being killed in other countries, but is it really OUR problem? Is this about the “children” or something else? If you said “something else” you get a brownie point.

It’s clear that Obama doesn’t have the brains to be dealing with China and Russia. Taking the credit for killing bin Laden is one thing: going to war against China, Russia, and Iran over Syria is way out of his league: so I’m hoping he stays on the golf course and lets someone else a bit more wiser, take over.

How about Ted Nugent? (LOL) Hey…I’m all ears.  

If Ahmadinejad is on Steroids, Could Barry Bonds Be Telling the Truth?

Nobody Knows which story in the news today was funnier: Barry Bonds saying that his trainer told him he was taking flax seed oil and arthritis cream and he had no clue he was on steroids for all the years he played baseball, or Ahmadinejad claiming that Iran has developed the first flying saucer to fly the earth.

 

Let’s hope those aliens from Roswell are actually dead.

Nobody Knows which one of these men are telling the truth.

 

 

On the one hand, if flax seed DID actually boost Barry’s Bonds muscles to the size of large cannon balls, then flax seed would cost over $100 an ounce because every man in the world would have vast cases of it stored in the back trunk of his car. AND if Barry actually believed his trainer was giving him flaxseed, that is evidence right there that his steroid abuse was beyond comprehension.

 

On the other hand, If Ahmadinejad has actually developed a flying saucer, then I say we need to see what he means to do with this “flying saucer.”

 

Invade our Capitol and capture Jack Nicholson?

 

Put a saucer over every city in the western world with JBL speakers programed to play Yoko Ono’s greatest hits over and over, thereby destroying us with our own music till we surrender to Allah?

 

Challenge our F-16′s to a showdown?

 

Land on a golf course and kidnap Obama?

 

Do night time raids over cattle farms in Iowa during our presidential primaries?

 

Sell them to Gaddafi?

 

Nobody Knows if this is real, but Ahmadinejad says these flying saucers will be spy machines, something our own government is working on night and day, only they are making spy planes to look like bugs and birds.

 

I don’t care, I’m not feeding them.

 

More than likely he is telling the truth…he has a flying saucer, but it’s NOT the first one ever to fly the earth. And I bet when we finally get to see one for real, they will look much like our drones, which, by the way, are doing a lot of damage over there.

 

The saucer, named “Zohal,” sure takes a good picture…just like all the other pictures ever taken of a UFO.

 

Nobody thinks that we do have aliens walking the earth, and today we found out that Nobody Cares.
