For those who want a little taste of the article. The connections alleged between Guy Bannister and another suspect of Garrison's in the JFK assassination makes the Lervenda book look pretty interesting.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><br>Had Kennedy lived, this world would almost certainly be a very different place. Kennedy was about to withdraw from Vietnam. He was interested in bringing the CIA to an end. He sought to lead us to look up, to ascend into space, to take our place among the stars. Since his death, there has been no visionary president. In fact, we have endured a long succession of mediocrities, madmen, hypocrites and egotists, as worthless a lot of human rubbish as has been served up to the leadership of a great nation since the later emperors floundered through the palaces of Rome. <br><br>We have come, thus, to where we are now: at the edge of a horrendous, uncontrollable environmental catastrophe, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>led by the grandson of a Nazi</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> who has replace those monstrous ideals of population control by war and murder with a religious extremism that will turn out to amount to the same thing. <br><br>We stand, all of us, upon the gallows with the noose about our necks. And, unseen, strange things happen in the environment, inexplicable things, that suggest that somebody with greater scientific knowledge is working subtly to bring the energies of nature to bear against us even as forces within our own society—forces also instigated by them and under their control—conspire to render us helpless in the face of the “natural” disaster that is on the way. The environment is collapsing much faster than any scientist, in his worst nightmares, imagined that it would just a few years ago. Too much is going wrong at once. The north polar cap is melting at a completely unprecedented rate. The Gulf Stream is about to become detached from its essential heat pump, with unknown consequences. As this is being written, a million people are evacuating the coast of China as a typhoon of extraordinary power races ashore. Summer melt in Greenland is appalling. Fires are burning in drought-ridden Portugal, Spain and North Africa even as India endures a monsoon gushing rain beyond imagining. New York has seen its hottest summer ever by a fantastic and frightening 5.5 degrees, and there is a massive, inexplicable swarming of fish, crabs and other marine life off the Gulf coast of Florida. <br><br>A few days ago, shrimp, crab, grouper, snapper, red fish and flounder, sea robins, needlefish and eels were observed moving southward in a column in eighteen inches of water off the coast at Englewood, Florida. This is not a known or understood phenomenon, and is in need of explanation, but it will not be explained, it will be ignored and forgotten as was the sudden blast of freezing cold water that appeared on beaches from New Jersey to central Florida two summers ago, when a sudden, fortunately temporary, weakening of the Gulf Stream enabled cold northern waters to penetrate halfway to the equator. The worst, and strangest, imbalance is taking place off the coast of the US Pacific Northwest, where water temperatures have risen so high and so fast that plankton has died back, breaking the food chain at is foundation and leading to vast starvation of life across the whole area. The odd thing is that this ocean heating has no obvious cause. It is not a direct effect of wind borne heat. It is not coming from warmer waters to the south. In fact, south of the heated area, the waters are cooler. It has, however, caused the marine cloud layer that normally keeps the Pacific Northwest cool to disappear, meaning that areas used to cool, damp and cloudy summers are suddenly being exposed to continental heat, the cities are breaking heat and drought records, and the forest is turning into a deadly tinderbox. If fire breaks out in this dense, isolated and ancient forest, thickly packed with brush and trees, it will be among the most horrendous forest fires seen in this era of great fires. <br><br>Meanwhile, the sun remains stubbornly active long after the solar minimum should have begun, and the earth’s magnetic field proceeds into the early stages of pole shift, a process that will bring it into chaos over the next few hundred years, with unknown consequences. <br>Despite all this and more, the US administration conducts itself as if nothing was happening, and fails to provide the leadership that could even now at least reduce the manmade aspects of the disaster and perhaps buy us a little time. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Instead, it has conducted a spectacularly ineffectual war against terrorism, and perhaps used aspects of terror attacks or even let them happen, to distract the public and keep us fearful and eager to support its authority, in exactly the same way the unpopular leader Adolf Hitler did when he engineered the burning of the German parliament, the Reichstag</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i></i>
