A Breif History of Armor

For those of you who are following my research on armor here is an interesting, if somewhat old style website containing a large collection of information about the history of armor.

I found it useful as I contemplate creating new Science Fiction armor to review the history of where armor evolved from in the past.

Global Climate Change...

A friend sent me this link...

Here is my response to the insanity:

We need to first understand what we are talking about on that we agree. But to those who seek to profit from a "massive-geoengineering program" i could not be more opposed! This is as bad an idea as spreading soot on the polar ice caps to stave off global cooling in the 1970's! Yes it is true the past few years have been warmer, but that is to be expected if you have studied the earth and the sun in any detail. Might I mention that this year has marked the return to our cold cycle after our warm cycle. This is one of ALASKA's colder summers on record and winter is already moving in almost a month and a half earlier than it normally does. As a 25 year resident in the same valley I can tell you that the nay sayers have more credibility than ever this year. As this is the SECOND TIME this pattern has emerged. The last time was nearly 11 years ago. Hmmm.. Approximately 11 year cycles... That triggers a science memory. What has a 11 year cycle? Forgive me for the rhetorical sarcasm here but the answer is the SUN! The sorce of ALL GLOBAL WARMING! Learn to do real observational science rather than flawed computer models that have bogusly inflated heat assumptions.

Man made climate change does not occur! Check the records for the city of NOME, Alaska and Glacier Bay starting around the 1890's and I think you will discover the "HEAT WAVE" that existed pre-automobile, there by casting doubt upon the man made conclusions. Why do I point this out? It is to make the point out that SUN DRIVEN CLIMATE CHANGE DOES OCCUR! Which also gives you a clearer understanding of ozone fluxuations as the sun's activity waxes and wains. Cycles exist and they did so long before we came on the scene.

But I suppose I am wasting my time typing this because those that deem themselves to be uber-educated and who are certain their politically modivated brainwashed-brainwasher, known to all as University Professors are gileless and honest in their assertions, will simply disreguard the observations of an Alaskan Naturalist as the feebled halucinations of an embittered Palin supporter. This assumption would be falsely asserted but I am certain it will be nonetheless. Sadly, it has been my expericence in this life that unless you are a true seeker of scientific truth, you will more than likely deny the existence of BIG SCIENCE while you bemoan the impact of BIG BISNESS.

BIG SCIENCE, which is is nothing more that a Government-Acedemic axis of influence, which corrupts the true scientific method for political purposes, is by its very nature corrupt. As it is the government which determines the direction of research and inquiry. It all but insures the insanity that has resulted in extremely talented scientists being black listed and labeled heritics and doubters. Yet these are the very people who are engaged in the true scientific method by testing the hypothesis for its validity ranther than accepting the issued grants that hold attached strings of expectations from those funding the research.

In the case of "global climate change" many financially minded researchers know that they must do obecences at the alter if they want to prosper. How then do we evaluate the value of a study that has reinterpreted all the evidence to prove that the initial declared purpose of the research grant were valid, inspite of evidence suggesting other questions. I personally am forced to devalue the work performed by such a soiled scientist and question everything they publish, because I am left to wonder if they published it simply to gain another grant and be rewarded by similarly corrupted members of their community, like a dogs given table scraps. This is the root of the great lie being perpetrated in the name of SCIENCE, and the evil doers are rewarded with another grant to second there previously bogus findings, the process is corrupted from its inception by blind obedience to a mindset of dependence.

I know it does little good to argue for the brainwashed to recognize the strings of manipulation that manipulate them like puppets, but I would be remiss in my persuit of truth if I did not point it out. Sadly too many political hacks have been brainwashed by the high priests of the new sect (global climate change) of the old religion of Gaia (the worship of nature).
