I have met David Icke a couple of times and also attended one of his talks. He was originally derided by the press for his views. You can read all about his journey on his website www.davidicke.com. Of course you don't have to believe all he says. But there is plenty to which you can open up your mind, discuss and also research and confirm, especially at what now appears to be the opportunity to change the world. I would say that for many people a section of his ideas are pure science fiction,( or maybe calculated for that end). Here is the link. 32 minutes approx.

OWS
OWS!!! Occupy Wall Street ! The smug, righteous attitude of the 'democratic west' is now exposed to be no more than a facade! When the Arab Spring began early in 2011, it was hailed by the USA and Britain, among others, to be the unlocking of freedom among the Arab nations who are, and who have been oppressed for far too long. They would now be able to dictate their own national destiny. Their so called new found freedom was to be celebrated!! But behind the scenes the machine is already in motion to succour these pawns into financial submission. Bribe the leaders to be part of the greedy and power hungry capitalist dictatorship and there is the opportunity for the Wall Street Megalomaniacs to use their countries' wealth, to spread the slime of their greed into more of the world. Moreover to control our lives.
But who would have expected to see the financial gun of the USA turned against itself ? And how has the US responded ? By subjecting peaceful protesters to violence. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons used against the unarmed,including people who have served their country in the furtherance of so called freedom, and the disabled. Are these times the death throes of a disgustingly corrupt system? There is talk of cold weather stifling the protests, but we all know that a rolled snowball gets bigger. Is this the beginning of the end of the tyrants?

No Humble Pie Yet ?
Okay, here is another weather based piece. Do you remember the The Daily Express, by way of Positive Weather Solutions, predicting the 'hottest summer ever' in 2011? The first article was printed on 14/5/11. The follow up was printed on 21/5/11, which backed up the likelihood, nay certainty (? hehe) of stifling temperatures across Britain. Is the mention of the Met Office's prediction of a 'barbecue summer' of 2010 relevant ? Remember that? Well that did not happen, are you surprised ? Recently Exacta, another weather based company via the Mail, predicted colder weather than usual in 'some parts of the uk', during October, with moderate to heavy snow predicted. The Daily Express headlined that temperatures were predicted to go down to -20C. by the third week of October. The south east was likely to experience colder, frosty nights. Temperatures are predicted to be below average from November to January. Below average for those months or for the whole year ? Well that really is science in action isn't it ? That is where averages come from...fluctuations. Plus I was astounded to read that the worst of the cold weather was likely to affect Scotland and the North. I am aghast !!! Has that happened before? Er...probably 99% of the time (although I have not checked that one).
Although records of weather patterns have been measured since the seventeenth century, it is only since 1914 that official records have been kept. That meteorologists can make sweeping statements about unprecedented snowfall, below average temperatures or whatever, is arrogance borne from disregard of times past.
Despite the cold weather predicted in the south east for October, I am writing this on the 25th of the month. It has been, up to now a pleasant, mild month. There is another prediction by WSI (Weather Services International) , that a colder winter will be experienced by western Europe, but not as cold as the last two winters. We shall see.
Oh and by the way, from the Met Office's Website:-
"The term 'climate change' refers to a change in the average state of our climate and/or the variability of its properties. While there are noticeable highs and lows in year to year data, over longer periods of time there is a discernable warming trend across the globe. Natural causes can explain only a small part of this warming. The overwhelming majority of scientists agree that this is due to rising concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by human activities."
The above paragraph states "natural causes can explain only a small part of this warming". Natural causes such as the enormous star which we call the Sun? The Sun is infinitely more powerful than the industry that humankind can produce. Its energy is phenomenal. Global Warming is a political concept not a scientific one. One that raises taxes !!!! How much respect can scientists expect when weather records have been kept only since 1914. Oh yes, and despite the certainty of Global Warming, scientists are stating that it does not mean everywhere on earth is warming. Some places are cooling ! What is the betting that there is a considerable anount of picking and choosing locations which seem to be warming? They can be publicised as proof that Global Warming is a fact, and man made. 'Pull the other one', as we say !!!!
They obviously have a great understanding of Planet Earth ? I don't think so ! But a very good understanding of how people can be duped into what is tantamount to a new religion.

Grumpy about this
My first post was concerned with the Age of Discontent. Here is an example of what is so irritating about business in current times. Once again, not a major occurrence, but nevertheless representative of daily inefficiency. I took out a buy to let mortgage over a year ago. The agreement stated that the payment would increase after nine months. Then it was increased again without any notification sent to me ! I am now paying an extra £100 per month.
At the beginning I was obliged to provide a mailing address because I was not resident at the mortgaged property. I gave the address of my mother. Shortly afterwards my mother went into hospital. She died some months later. I contacted the mortgage company informing them of her death and requested them to amend my contact details. I was assured that the new details I provided were the only ones they then held. Recently I requested a statement of what I had paid. I waited ten days, I received nothing. I telephoned again. I was told the statement had benn sent but to my mother's address. It seems they are keen to take our money but still fall very short of providing a service. The company is Mortgage Works, in case you want to make a note.

Celsius to Fahrenheit, Why ?
Well, not the most important topic of our world. Nevertheless I find it mildly irritating that many UK weather forecasters or radio announcers very often convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. As I recall, the BBC began to convert temperatures on their nightly weather map as far back as 1964. The aim being to phase out Fahrenheit. Yet now in 2011 we are still being told what a temperature is in both scales. Even on a recent plane journey I made, the pilot of a British airline when announcing weather conditions in the UK, converted Celsius to Fahrenheit. This was on a european flight between two countries which both use Celsius. One of them being Britain I admit, but how long does it take to just forget Fahrenheit.? As far as I am aware the United States and Belize are the only countries that use it. The other point is that in the UK, if is is hot, then the media refer to temperatures in Fahrenheit. Well it seems hotter doesn't it ?100 degrees sounds much more than 38 degrees. However below freezing is spoken in Celsius. Just sort it out please. Stop living in the past and confusing the issue by using two scales when hot or cold !
