1996 - Oceanographer Dr. Wallace Broecker's theory that ocean

currents are the only things powerful enough to cause an abrupt climate

change wins him the National Medal of Science after years of

skepticism.

1997 - An espionage bill was voted down in the US Congress. It

would later be passed in 2001 as The Patriot Act without one single

congressperson reading the thing.

1997 - The Project for the New American Century is developed

by a think tank of neo-cons. They describe the need for a "new

Pearle Harbor" like event for the American public to accept military

action for a regime change in Iraq, which they deem essential.

2001 - Sept. 11 there is an attack on the US that was clearly

foreseen and some say allowed to happen by the FBI and the CIA

top brass. Within one month the Patriot Act was blindly passed

in the US Congress.

2003 - The US invades Iraq on questionable intelligence.

Ever wonder why our elected officials on both sides of the

isle are allowing the drastic changes to our civil rights with

almost no resistance?

The neo-cons are not stupid. They had no idea that a giant

change in the climate within ten years was possible until

Dr. Broecker announced his theory. That shook the foundations

of not only the scientific community, but also the uber-rich.

One could conclude that the neo-cons perceived a huge

threat to their security from the recent knowledge of abrupt climate

change, to the point that they have felt a need to dismantle the

US Constitution and the Bill of Rights in anticipation of global

famine.

Patriot Act 1, Patriot Act 2 and the invasion of Iraq would

never have been sanctioned by our Congress if the powers

that be (wealthy) were not worried about something.

Do you still think that the Patriot Acts were voted into law because

of the threat from international terrorism?
