It actually functions as an ideological prop of the hyperfascist imperium. Consider the following:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The Fed Reserve is a PRIVATE bank that lends fiat currency to the USA govt which then raises taxes to pay back said loans to the fed. The Fed is the daddy of the Petrodollar. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You know that secret agreement brokered by Kissinger (after the $ fell off the gold standard in 1971) with the Saudis (as swing producer able to flood the market &amp; destroy anyone defying their policy) that ALL oil be sold in $ in exchange for `protection'. THIS gave the USA an unlimited credit card enabling it to pass off the costs of its institutioanlised hyperinflation ($9Trillion nat debt, $60Trillion accumalated other liabilies as per Brookings Institute estimates &amp; the $370Trillion derivatives pyramid) onto the rest of humanity just by PRINTING $$$ &amp; fund the army that protects the Petrodollar (costing more than rest of world's combined) via the same printing press.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now the more cynical will be thinking `awesome'! BUT.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The purpose of this is to enable the USA to export its inflation to the rest of the world (in exchange for IoU's called treasury bonds, really IFUs); eg THIS is why USA doesn't produce anything anymore, because you don't want those $$$ to return fuelling VISIBLE as opposed to INSTITUTIONALISED inflation. This is also why you are surrendering California for AZTLAN, because your elite's need to keep the oil sold in $$$ to preserve the $ global reserve status, the source of their (not Your) geo strategic political economic power &amp; wealth. The surrender of California keeps YOUR psycho political focus divided. You find it MUCH harder to wage war on 2 fronts, against your elites AND unrestrained migration, so you appeal pathetically to said elites `WHY don't you halt immigration?'&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Answer, because for these useless &amp; crazy plutocrats it is not only a Q of cheap labor but MORE importantly preventing you tearing their throats out. It is literally a matter of life &amp; death for them to preserve control of the geo political economic &amp; strategic agenda by selling the USA to the devil. it is like a plate spinner that has to keep this unnatural state of affairs going to prevent the crash.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Well, the imperium WILL crash. &amp; when it does, your all gonna have to work damned hard to convince the rest of the world its in their interests to keep you alive. because you aren't going to have any money to actually pay for the oil. So here's the deal.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Establish the Common Ownership of Information (every 3rd world peasant to have access to every book/ piece of technical info ever produced on a wind up wifi laptop from MIT) in exchange for the oil remaining on long enough to effect the transition to solar powered microgeneration (without the oil the info is lost &amp; without the info the oil is worthless). The corresponding substantive sovereignty of the individual can thence be pooled to effect control over our energy based (I agree, gold IS inhrently deflationary, but for Christjesus sakes' no one is going to accept fiat $$$ anymore) currencies...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Meyer Rothschidl: `Give me control over a nations' currency &amp; I care not who writes its' laws'.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;...establishing a tough basic constittuional fabric able to martial locally &amp; globally in realtime to repel the machinations of any cabal of banksters, energy barons &amp; secureaucrats out to plunder private &amp; public wealth.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In the interim support Ron Paul in exposing this Fed Reserve scam, &lt;BR/&gt;http://www.teambio.org/2007/06/ron-paul-introduces-legislation-to-abolish-the-federal-reserve/&lt;BR/&gt;because it will help to expose what the Petrodollar wars are all about. &amp; the rest of the world will not forgive you if you engage in nuke war to prop up the petrodollar.

Other tools are the use of experiments, data and quantitative measures.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When at least some of those are brought to the table, people may listen. Until then you're just a guy blasting a ghetto blaster in a room that's already too loud. Anectodal evidence is just that, and a guy standing on a soapbox isn't walking on the walk.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;DGR is a physicist and a lake sediment modeler. He's also declared himself an environmental science researcher with an interest in climate models. If he's serious, let's see a physically-based model built with the best available data that supports his climate change contentions and &lt;B&gt;then&lt;/B&gt; we can start a discourse within the boundaries of science. The IPCC has, and met the burden behind their assertions far more competently than he has.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You're a historian. Let's see a methodology based on the 'natural experiments' approach Jared Diamond has used so effectively to meet the  burden behind his assertions.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4828122657384873884/4543855378422174897/comments/default/5229550383779060923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4828122657384873884/4543855378422174897/comments/default/5229550383779060923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://climateguy.blogspot.com/2007/05/regression-on-left.html?showComment=1180578720000#c5229550383779060923' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://climateguy.blogspot.com/2007/05/regression-on-left.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828122657384873884.post-4543855378422174897' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4828122657384873884/posts/default/4543855378422174897' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
