Jupiter Gives a Prelude to Global Warming

by Kevin Roeten on Monday, December 5th, 2011

This is article 8 of 9 in the topic Science

Exoplanet (for astronomers) is simply any planet not in this solar system.  Are any in that “goldilocks zone”, which give the capability of harboring life as we know it? Can we even see it, given its immense distance?

One must define “goldilocks zone” properly: [Habitable zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia].  That zone is considered the habitable area just far enough away from its sun, where it’s warm enough life can flourish, but not too cold to freeze water.

Astronomer Michael Hart’s computer simulations describe a habitable planet in the “goldilocks zone”. Its orbit must be almost circular, and must make the right sized orbit. Calculations indicate a 5% smaller orbit point to a runaway “greenhouse effect”, or a 1% larger orbit would have resulted in a glacier effect—the freezing of all oceans.

The solar system must be free of large planets with elliptical orbits, which would eject or destroy other planets. Large planets with circular orbits are needed to clear out rogue asteroidsthat would strike inner planets much more frequently.

An inhabited planet has to be large enough to hold an atmosphere, while small enough so its gravity doesn’t crush inhabitants. The planet must have a moderate temperature. The planet must have a mass between 0.85 and 1.33 of earth’s mass, or within 2 billion years temperature variations would render the planet uninhabitable. [Extraterrestrials, Where Are They?, Second Edition, Edited by Ben Zuckerman and Michael Hart (Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 217].

More importantly, a habitable planet must have some mechanism to keep CO2 from disappearing from the atmosphere. Liquid water begins a chain reaction depleting the atmosphere of CO2 [Ron Cohen, “Interplanetary Odyssey”, Science News (September 28th, 1996), p. 205].

Parts of earth’s surface continually sink where carbonate decomposes to CO2. It then recycles to the surface from volcanic activity, where it refills the atmosphere. We haven’t observed any other planet with similar tectonic activity.

Most extrasolar planets are too distant to detect their weather. Because exoplanets are invisible to the telescope “eye”, any atmosphere is examined by its infrared light, or heat. Infrared measurements are used to map the temperature of the entire surface.

But an observable exoplanet has got to be a transiting planet—-it has to cross directly in front and behind its star when viewed from Earth. As an extrasolar planet passesin front of its star, it blocks out a small fraction of the star’s light, and a host of information about the exoplanet can be learned: size, temperature, orbit, etcetera. Because of their location in the plane of sight relative to their orbited star, billions of exoplanets cannot be detected yet.

Over 300 extrasolar planets have been located and measured by this method, and are called “hot Jupiters” for a reason. Jupiter has many characteristics similar to exoplanets. It is a gas giant, with a crust far beneath the surrounding gas.

The Coriolis Effect cause cyclones and anti-cyclones on Earth. Greatly magnified on Jupiter, these cyclones have a revolution 2.5x faster than Earth’s cyclones. Sheer distance makes cyclones on any exoplanets invisible.

Jupiter has many atmospheric disturbances, with stronger ones absorbing the weaker ones. This may explain the size of the largest spot on Jupiter—-the Great Red Spot (GRS).

Elimination of Trisomy Patients Smells of Nazi Tactics

by Kevin Roeten on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

This is article 218 of 291 in the topic Healthcare

Most people feel obligated to abort Down Syndrome babies, that haven’t even been born yet. Numerous studies have indicated 90% of these children are aborted. One might notice an echo of 1920’s Germany in America—where eugenics, a movement eradicating Jews and other ‘inferior’ races have surfaced with Obamacare.

 

Today, a segment of population embraces eugenics in the form of abortion ‘rights’. This movement’s main purpose is to eradicate Black babies, those who have disabilities, or those judged to be born into poverty. With 15 million Black abortions since Roe was instated in 1973, it is truly the abortion holocaust.

Bottom line, all disabled citizens are human beings worthy of protection. But Obamacare sounds like it is right out of the 1930’s Nazi Germany. Some have obviously come to the conclusion that these kids are not “worthy of life”. One has to wonder who has deemed these ‘life-worthy’ deciders to be God?

By the outbreak of WWII in 1939, Germany had sterilized an estimated 400,000 people. However, in 1940 the need for hospital beds for wounded soldiers prompted a better solution for “lives not worth living”. Doctors identified over 70,000 mental patients who fit the bill. They were given carbon monoxide in extermination centers at psychiatric hospitals.

Never mind that Down Syndrome babies can possibly lead a normal life. Never mind that a Down prognosis is usually made with the child in the womb, and can be wrong. In fact, most families with a Down member found Down Syndrome is a positive.  You will find a full 99% of adults with Down say they are happy with their lives. You’re not likely to find anything close to 99% with normal adults.

The most common is Down Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, has an abortion rate of about 90%. A person would have 3 copies of Chromosome 21 instead of 2. The incidence of Down is around 1 in every 480 births. Characteristics may include outwardly slanted eyes, and/or relatively short arms or legs.

The second most common is Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome. A person would have 3 copies of Chromosome 18, with an incidence of 1 in every 1600 births. Severe defects include those of the kidneys, ureters, heart, lungs, and diaphragm.

Typically known as Trisomy 13, the last common trisomy, Patau Sydrome, has 3 copies of Chromosome 13 instead of two, and occurs in one in every 4000 births. Severe characteristic include an opening in the skull, or malformations of part of the brain.

It is true that maternal women (over 37) are more likely to have babies with chromosomal disorders. With older men (over 50) research tentatively suggests are more likely to father babies with chromosomal disorders, and studies indicate women with over four babies have a slightly increased risk of any subsequent babies having a chromosomal disorder.

A likelihood for any population is genetic changes. If they occur in more than 1% of the population, they are common enough to be considered normal variation of the DNA, or “polymorphisms”. They are responsible for most of the normal differences in people ( e.g., eye color, hair color, blood type, etc…).

But today, we kill at least 90% of suspected Down kids. Why force parents to care for a Down Syndrome child?

If Obama’s Re-elected, Welcome to The United States Socialist Republic

by Kevin Roeten on Sunday, November 6th, 2011

This is article 301 of 363 in the topic Government Spending

The Congressional Budget Office figures emerged Friday, and offered a far more dire outlook for Obama’s budget than the administration predicted last month.

“Projected deficit threatens Obama’s plans” is accurate even for a liberal Associated Press.

Auditors say this budget would produce $9.3 trillion in red ink over next decade. However, Budget Director Peter Orszag decided to spin the Congressional Budget Office’s economic projections: “they are probably more pessimistic than those of the President”. However, Orszag acknowledged, “…if the CBO projections are correct, Obama’s budget would produce unsustainable deficits.”

It’s almost impossible eliminating a $9.3 trillion dollar debt in ten decades. But Obama is not worried about total debt.

In his mind a debt will not be a problem if Socialism is there to save the day. The World Book Dictionary defines socialism as “…a system of social organization by which the major means of production and distribution, are owned, managed, or controlled by the government”. In other words, a total rejection of the US Constitution.

When the debt hits $9.3 trillion, each person in America will need to pay $31,000 just to eliminate the debt. Certainly, government can’t pay it. Obama won’t touch certain items for deficit reduction: e.g., a) United Nations, b) 15 major US Departments (e.g., DoJ/27.2 billion/yr), c) anything providing abortions.

Recent actions show exactly where Obama wants to go:

Obama is telling his audience that he will bypass Congress to enact as much of his agenda as possible through executive orders. He wants to implement policies through his (appointed) czars, and mandates issued by federal agencies. These strategies supposedly can get around any checks and balances established by the Constitution. Obama has already exclaimed publically: “We can’t wait for Congress to do its job, so where they won’t act, I will.”

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have committed unlimited amounts of taxpayer money to defend the unconstitutional Obamacare. Now Dr. Donald Berwick (England’s National Health Service, appointed to run Obamacare), says rationing is inevitable. Obamacare is an unprecedented expansion of federal power and regulation.

Young people, and first-time voters were key to Obama’s victory in 2008. Stating “we can’t wait,” Obama announced executive plans for helping graduates with student loans. Current Unpaid student loans top $1 trillion. That debt will surely double with the relaxed restrictions. It seems obvious: Obama wants student loan payments lowered to shore up voting bloc .

Liberty Counsel shows many special interest groups (i.e., ACLU, Planned Parenthood (PP), GlSEN (Gay-Lesbian-Straight Education Network) etc., seem to continually get handed public funds. Planned Parenthood just hired Dana Singiser as VP for Government Relations. She had worked previously as a special assistant to the President in the White House.

Department of Energy’s (DoE) $535 million loan to bankrupt Solyndra. Another “green” company, First Solar received two loan guarantees just before the loans expired. Shortly thereafter, DoE sent an additional $4.7 billion in “green energy” loans to four other companies, and over $10 billion to 16 others.

Include a $529 million DoE grant to Fisker Automotive to build hybrid cars. But the cars are being assembled in Finland. In Massachusetts, Beacon Power received $67 million in assistance from the DoE, but has filed for bankruptcy protection.

Socialism forgets four things.

Oil is There. Obama Doesn’t Care.

by Kevin Roeten on Monday, October 3rd, 2011

This is article 5 of 69 in the topic Oil Industry/OPEC

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has told the Obama Administration they’ve found enough oil under US territory that estimates 163 billion barrels of recoverable oil and enough natural gas to meet the country’s demand for 90 ears.

[Read more]

Back in 2006, the Department of Energy (DoE) and the Mineral Management Service (MMS) both revealed the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) had enough oil to last at least another 50 years [Assessment of Undiscovered Technically Recoverable Oil and Gas Resources of the Nation’s Outer Continental Shelf, 2006 (Summary Brochure)].

The map above is from a 2006 MMS titled “Assessment of Undiscovered Technically Recoverable Oil and Gas Resources of the Nation’s Outer Continental Shelf”.

That was well before the CRS report. In fact, the CRS report shows how the US leads all nations in World Fossil Fuel Resources. That includes Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran—everyone.

Obama’s plans seem to be perfectly outlined in the video provided by Prof. Terry Lovell of the Patriot Network. [Patriot Network Debunks Obama’s Claim of 2% Fuel. | Barack ...]

The president of Chevron, Gary P. Luquette: Deciding Today on Energy for Tomorrow, gives a realistic approach to how we should proceed with these oil and gas finds. He knows that the oil industry already provides jobs to 2.1 million Americans directly, and supports another 7 million indirectly. Even though developing the OCS has been almost off limits, it could create 160,000 new jobs—and provide up to $1.7 trillion additional government revenue.

Luquette doesn’t even mention the expected GDP increase, increased income tax revenue, reduced national unemployment and unemployment payments, decreased (or elimination) of potential terrorist threats, decreased (or elimination) oil dependence on other countries, generation of thousands of jobs dependent on the oil industry, and additional time to perfect energy sources such as fusion, fission, algae resources, solar, geothermal, and many others.

President Obama has been given this information. It seems his long-range economic plans may be somewhat different. They seem to fit into 3 major categories:

1) Plans for US to continue superpower status in the world are to be erased. The Founding Fathers’ intentions to establish a government that is a Representative Democracy have been nullified. Government now employs 16% of the people with almost 45% getting paid some monies, income tax is a certainty for a smaller and smaller percentage of the population, and more and more citizens now work for the government rather than the government for the people.

2) Plans for US to continue to be a leader in finding and refining gasoline continue to be diminished. The US is the only country in the world building no new oil refineries nor fission atomic reactors in the last 30 years. Obama has refused to drill in Alaska, and has curtailed all drilling in the OCS after the recent BP oil spill.

3) For The Claremont Institute – Edward J. Erler states that one of the proofs given in the Declaration was King George’s attempts to establish an “absolute tyranny” over the American colonies. He erected a multitude of new offices, and sent masses of Officers to harass our people and establish sovereignty over them. The number of regulations and administrators necessary to execute his plans are quite overbearing.

Under the Obama Administration, new regulations have become more than obsessive.

‘A Fading Comet, or a Rogue Dwarf Star?’

by Kevin Roeten on Sunday, August 28th, 2011

Coming up in September, we might see a faint comet (called ELEnin), or, a rogue brown dwarf star. The first possibility is a comet, which is a normal occurrence. The second possibility, a brown dwarf star, would be a major scientific anomaly. The first possibility is barely perceptible visibly, and not headed for any earth collision (36,000 miles distance at nearest approach).

Exact locations can be determined at this website. The second possibility, a brown dwarf star, can be seen on the exact same path.

Strange, but both are almost invisible to the telescope’s eye. The comet is far enough away from the sun now, so it would seem almost invisible. A dwarf star would be equally hard to see, because it retains all its star mass without fusion occurring. This particular comet/dwarf star has gotten more than its share of publicity. In fact, ELEnin has been observed 2218 times by NASA since June. Only comets Hale-Bopp and Halley have been observed more times.

That second possibility is a super-cold failed star. It’s temperature is just above absolute “0”, but may be more massive than a number of Jupiters. Official word is ELEnin is a typical comet, and will soon be a non-event.

Many are convinced that it really is a brown dwarf star, or what some have already labeled as a dark star. The chances of it being a brown dwarf are remote. But not that remote. One astronomerputs the chances of it being a brown dwarf at 14%. It will likely be a non-event, but in the astronomical world a 14% chance is very, very significant.

Why a brown dwarf? Many claim to have noticed perturbations it has caused to other celestial object paths, with indications of more mass than 12 Jupiters.  At that size, a star would not have achieved fusion, and would be almost completely dark. Of course, with an object so dark, perturbations of other celestial bodies may never have been noticed.

ELEnin does not act or look like a comet to many astronomers. It’s the first time this object has ever been recorded making a flyby. It does not originate from the Main Asteroid Belt (between Mars and Jupiter), the Centaurs, the Kuiper Belt, or the Oort Cloud.

If this brown dwarf follows its predicted orbit, several things will happen. During a flyby, gravitational forces will wreak havoc with earth’s tectonic plates which will cause earthquakes. Many have already occurred. One could expect readings to exceed 9.0 (Richter Scale). That was associated with the March 2011 Japan earthquake from ELEnin’s last conjunction.

Magnetic Portals Connect Earth to the Sun – NASA Science reports, will be cut off on 9/26/11 when ELEnin crosses directly in between the earth and the sun on the celestial plane. Magnetic Portals were thought to be non-existent, until proved in 2008. Magnetic poles between the earth and the sun will be shortest but thickest at this upcoming conjunction, right during the interruption of normal particle flow.

During this period, earth’s north pole will be rejected by the sun. Migration of the earth’s true north pole is already occurring. How far it travels, and if it will ever return to its original position is not known.

‘Are Blacks Oblivious to Their Obvious Problem?’

by Kevin Roeten on Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Many Blacks don’t even think about their biggest problem. Many continue to send Democrats to Washington. But others know what is taking place, and refuse to bow down to dramatic culling, genocide, certain annihilation. They already see their population percentage decreasing in the America. Their numbers hacked away each year. They already know the culprits, the instigators, and the villains.

The National Black Prolife Coalition exposes the number one killer of Blacks: Planned Parenthood and urban abortion clinics. This coalition knows these organizations are responsible for abortions in the Black community that outnumber all other causes of death combined. This includes heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, homicides, and HIV/AIDS. Abortion is responsible for 363,705 black deaths per year. All the major causes above total 289,366 black deaths per year.

A talk show host in San Francisco spelled it out for all radical Blacks. Sharon Hughes—African Americans the Target of Planned …Parenthood, explains her views by revealing a black baby is 5 times more likely to be killed in the womb than a white baby.

The CDC even found Black mothers get abortions at a 300 percent higher per capita rate than other races. The pro-life Blacks and the public knows their tax dollars are feeding PP’s coffers and others for this attack, but they are temporarily helpless against this onslaught.

MLKJr never would have stood up to this unsurpassed forced death. No clear-thinking American could do this. Most Americans wouldn’t have allowed this to happen in another country, much less ours. So many are hardened to the killing of life, and it is commonplace to value pleasure far over life. Something not written in the Constitution.

But this radical group of Blacks continue to vote for those who foster abortions. Democrats are still elected every election who continue to demand funding PP, continue to push Roe vs Wade, and continue to incorrectly advocate any abortion and/or contraception as legal and safe.

The American Life League was shocked that “America’s first black president drew a bizarre line in the sand declaring he would shut down the government of the United States to keep federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the organization that aborts over 125,000 black children nationwide each year.”

Obama’s close relationship with PP is obvious on YouTube – Barack Obama Addresses Planned Parenthood.

“When will our black leaders take an honest look at these numbers, become outraged and do something to stop the abortion deaths of our beautiful black babies?” asked Rev. Arnold M. Culbreath [Protecting Black Life]. “The numbers don’t lie. Abortion takes a tremendous toll on our women, our men, our families and our future.”

The Case Against Abortion: Abortion and Race, shows how abortion and race are intertwined. Why have pro-abortion individuals linked the two? Some political figures are on-board for a major disparity in killing Blacks. Those include figures such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and (president) Barack Obama. We hope and pray that their skewed opinions will change, and more black citizens will be allowed to live.

We fervently hope that the black views of Thomas Sowell, Bill Cosby, Condolezza Rice, Justice Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Rev. Clenard Childress (BlackGenocide.org), Herman Cain (presidential nominee), Booker T. Washington, Shelby Steele, Allen West (House), Tim Scott (House), Alan Keyes, Lynn Swann, Larry Elder (columnist), Ward Connerly, Joseph C.
