2012-05-14 06:37:00 Here’s something you don’t see everyday (or perhaps in your entire lifetime): Once the oil runs out, all the dams in the world are going to silt up, eventually crack and do the same thing. It’ll just take longer then what is shown in the video.

Manmade climate change theory continues to be battered by reality
2012-05-08 17:25:00 Commentary by James H. Shott Two of the major concerns of environmentalists are manmade climate change, and in response to this theory, the absolute necessity of green energy sources to replace the relatively inexpensive conventional energy we now get from coal, oil and natural gas. Although our air is cleaner today than at any time in the last hundred years or so, it?s not clean enough for the environmental zealots inside and outside of government agencies. Hardly anyone would argue that if the activities of humans seriously damage the Earth?s atmosphere and raise its average temperature, it just makes sense to move away from fossil fuel energy toward non-polluting green energy. All they need is a plausible scenario that human activity is indeed warming the planet to dangerous levels, and people will accept moving to green energy. However, as time passes more and more evidence comes forth weakening the case for manmade climate change; the data no lon...

They Kill Cats in Gezira Club 2
2012-04-03 22:52:00 After publishing the first post ?They kill cats in the Gezira Club ?GSC? and what it caused from noise , I believe I should not close this file. First of all more photos showing dead cats in the club began to surface online along with testimonies in the past few weeks following my post. Here is a photo taken by club?s member Ahmed Khalifa. Poor cat killed in GSC Of course now it seems that there is a development in the way of killing these poor cats , instead of poisoning them they were hit by sticks. Here are more photos taken from GSC by Pam Labib on Facebook from about a week ago. This is a psychopath action to be honest. Now I know that earlier this week a group of GSC members are planning to have a protest against the club?s administration and its decision to kill all stray cats in the club. This is not an Upper Class issue or protest , the one who will protest for a cat will protest for a human. I do not underestimate these small movements anymore. If you see...

Obama plays fast and furious with oil production data
2012-03-20 13:45:00 Commentary by James H. Shott President Barack Obama calls fossil fuels ? coal, oil and natural gas ? the ?fuel of the past,? and heralds wind, solar and algae as the fuels of the future. But he ignored talking about the fuel of the present, as if it really doesn?t matter. But it does matter. The fuel of the present must exist in sufficient quantity, with sufficient infrastructure to get it to consumers, and be affordable. And there is only one source that meets those requirements: fossil fuels. Despite his apparent disregard of this obvious fact, it does not take a rocket scientist, a community organizer, or even a law school lecturer to understand the importance of today?s situation: Fossil fuels work; green energy does not. Favoring an impossible scenario, Mr. Obama resorts to being the class clown, offering playground humor to deflect the harsh criticism his foolish energy policy has earned. He told a fawning audience, "So do not tell me that we're not drilling. We're ...
