It <br>  <br> would later be passed in 2001 as The Patriot Act without one single <br>  <br> congressperson reading the thing. <br><br> 1997 - The Project for the New American Century is developed <br>  <br> by a think tank of neo-cons. They describe the need for a \"new <br>  <br> Pearle Harbor\" like event for the American public to accept military  <br>  <br> action for a regime change in Iraq, which they deem essential. <br><br> 2001 - Sept. 11 there is an attack on the US that was clearly <br>  <br> foreseen and some say allowed to happen by the FBI and the CIA  <br>  <br> top brass. Within one month the Patriot Act was blindly passed <br>  <br> in the US Congress. <br><br> 2003 - The US invades Iraq on questionable intelligence. <br><br> ************ <br><br> Ever wonder why our elected officials on both sides of the <br>  <br> isle are allowing the drastic changes to our civil rights with <br>  <br> almost no resistance?  <br><br> The neo-cons are not stupid. They had no idea that a giant <br>  <br> change in the climate within ten years was possible until <br>  <br> Dr. Broecker announced his theory. That shook the foundations <br>  <br> of not only the scientific community, but also the uber-rich. <br><br> One could conclude that the neo-cons perceived a huge  <br>  <br> threat to their security from the recent knowledge of abrupt climate <br>  <br> change, to the point that they have felt a need to dismantle the <br>  <br> US Constitution and the Bill of Rights in anticipation of global <br>  <br> famine. <br><br> Patriot Act 1, Patriot Act 2 and the invasion of Iraq would <br>  <br> never have been sanctioned by our Congress if  the powers  <br>  <br> that be (wealthy) were not worried about something.  <br><br> Do you still think that the Patriot Acts were voted into law because <br>  <br> of the threat from international terrorism?<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Mid 80's - Some scientists warn about CO2 \r\nand global warming but they are largely \r\ndismissed by other scientists and the public.\t\r\n\r\n1993 - Two separate ice cores drilled into the \r\nGreenland Ice Sheet to depths of  two miles \r\nboth confirmed earlier evidence of many 'abrupt \r\nclimate changes' that have occurred in as little \r\nas a decade rather than the thousand year \r\ntransition that was previously believed.\r\n","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2007\/10\/208028.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
