Thus my sources at the time were both "western" and "non western". The information I saw in 1998 and 1999 made it clear the Kosovo incident was orchestrated, based on a lie, and this means mr Clinton can be considered a war criminal. <br /><br />I'm anti communist simply because I fled communism, and I there's a vendetta undertone to the way I feel after the horrors I have seen. This means I don't particularly like Chomsky. However, Chomsky does have some good lines and can make good points , even though his morals are flexible. If you don't like Chomsky go look up Ramsey Clark's legal work regarding what happened in Kosovo. <br /><br />Mr Levenson: my mother is dead.

Milosevic ...Even, the reports were never confirmed. Milosevic was held on trial for many years (I believe five). That fact alone turns the trial into a soviet style monkey trial. The FACT that no genocide took place meant they could not convict. To cover up this FACT, the monkey court shifted gears and re indicted slobo for preDayton (non Kosovo crimes. These couldn't be linked to Slobo, so they stretched the trial waiting for the man to die. <br /><br />Most of you grew up being taught a lie, or you swallowed it. It's like the Iraq WMD, but in this case it was Clinton doing the lying (which also means Clinton is a war criminal). My suggestion is to grow antennae to detect baloney instead of feeding on it. You will be outside the Matrix, and you will realize your tuna sandwich is fish scales.

The USA started bombing in late March 1999. Now I challenge you to show me proof there was a genocide in late 1998 and early 1999. Also explain, if there was such a genocide why was the international tribunal unable to convict milosevic for said genocide? <br /><br />Returning to the weather, Sharkova believes she has identified a mechanism which produces changes in solar activity and therefore TSI. We also have the results of at least two studies which investigate how TSI changes in the ultraviolet have unexpected impacts. If we read those studies we can see they show severe regional cooling, mostly in the northern hemisphere. It's clear that such models, if run with a more realistic emissions pathway (something like an RCP6 minus) , will yield severe cooling in North America and Europe. That's not my prediction. That's what can be seen in GCM results. I think the outcome will depend on the sun's behavior. If it goes quiet for 100 years we are going to have very cold winters. <br /><br />Fernando Leanmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085680730729620836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-11615665780140897472015-07-14T07:18:47.773-04:002015-07-14T07:18:47.773-04:00Sounds like I should stick to Velikovsky as my aut...Sounds like I should stick to Velikovsky as my authority on solar physics then? :-^<br /><br />Sou's write-up most informative.Happy Heyokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05574742674939155109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-26886382147116004912015-07-13T19:50:07.770-04:002015-07-13T19:50:07.770-04:00BPL - it was only forced relocation accompanied by...BPL - it was only forced relocation accompanied by rape, murder and other assorted maltreatments - but not, not I tell you - genocide.
