SPAMLISH: NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING WEST AFRICAN IMPERSONATES THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND DEFENSE

Posted: 24 Mar 2014 01:25 AM PDT

One of the hallmarks of a scam is the non-standard English and phraseology that makes the message look comical …

Presented for your amusement and amazement is an scam e-mail pitch that appears to be coming from Italy; but features a telephone calling code linking to the West African country of Benin (bordered by Togo to the west, by Nigeria to the east and by Burkina Faso and Niger to the north.)

Major General (Ret.) Timothy J.Lowenberg is a real person that retired as the Adjutant General (Chief Administrator) of the Washington National Guard on July 28, 2012. He is now an Adjunct Professor at the Seattle School of Law and a Vice President of Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs. The least likely person to be connected to a West African e-mail scam.

As much as I dislike President Obama’s Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, believing that he lacks the military, investigation, and leadership experience for this particular position, I am sure that he can formulate a better pitch to give me free money.

FLIGHT MH 370, GLOBAL WARMING LINK FOUND BY PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 07:22 PM PDT

It was bound to happen sooner or later that radical and activist progressive socialist democrats link the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 to global warming. Whether to attract an audience or out of ignorance of science, this story is beyond the pale …

One Reason It May Be Harder to Find Flight 370: We Messed Up the Currents -- How climate change factors into the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
Scientists say man-made climate change has fundamentally altered the currents of the vast, deep oceans where investigators are currently scouring for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight, setting a complex stage for the ongoing search for MH370. If the Boeing 777 did plunge into the ocean somewhere in the vicinity of where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean, the location where its debris finally ends up, if found at all, may be vastly different from where investigators could have anticipated 30 years ago.
While longer-term climate shifts are unlikely to play into day-to-day search and rescue efforts, these large climate-affected currents—among them the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the world's most powerful ocean system—are an essential factor in oceanographers' understanding of the literal undercurrents of search operations.
According to interviews with three climate scientists who specialize in the region of the world where investigators are focusing their search, the winds of the Southern Indian Ocean bordering the Southern Ocean have been shifting southwards and intensifying over the last 20 to 30 years, in part due to a warming atmosphere and the hole in the ozone layer. Ocean currents are also tightening around Antarctica, shifting whole climate systems towards the South Pole.

Have you ever wondered why chaotic weather systems and other natural phenomena cannot be adequately modeled by the best computer models yet derived? It is simply because there is no adequate modeling of chaotic systems that are reliable enough to project results into the future. And, survive the test of comparing the model’s output to the reality years later. Similar to the current weather models that are unable to replicate 17 years of a global cooling trend and a rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide; almost all showing a continual temperature rise.

Deep oceanic currents are tricky and convoluted naturally, with little or no perceptible influence from man. Influenced more by the Sun’s energy output, the rotational and precessional dynamics of the Earth, vulcanology and plate tectonics, and natural underground shifts of seabed. As for the shifts in winds, another natural phenomena, blame nature and the fact that nature abhors a vacuum – where weather changes on the winds as high pressure areas rush into low pressure areas to bring about a calm equilibrium.

So, how can you ascribe the behavior of the ocean currents and the shifting winds to man’s alleged interference with the global climate? Beats me – and most other scientists skeptical of the line being sold by the radical progressive socialist democrats to advance their toxic socialist agenda. An agenda that reduces our living standard, erodes our freedoms, and brings about a centrally-planned government that is significantly larger in size and scope of activities. Using junk science to convince the public that these draconian public policies are critical to saving the planet and allowing the progressive socialist democrats and their special interests to loot the public treasury.

Bottom line …

I call bullshit on those that claim that global climate change is affecting our search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370. If anything, those conducting the search should be dropping tracker buoys to monitor the currents – that is if they even think they known where the missing aircraft might be located.

Enough with the global climate change nonsense. How about calling a spade a spade and reducing the political corruption that is turning America into a socialist French province ruled by Mexican-style kleptocrats?

Throw the corrupt progressive socialist democrats out of the House and Senate in 2014, and out of the White House in 2016.
