More Academic Fraud For Gore  

Despite all of the various revelations of fraud, fabrication, and fantasy of the Agorian's in their pursuit of an AGW theocracy, the great and munificent climate prophet, Algore, may peace be upon him, is about to receive an honorary doctorate from his home state's university.  Institutionalizing fraud on an international scale by government sponsored academia?  Is anyone surprised? Just click...


Unhealthy Monocultures  

If you assess the abstract world built up by Homo sapiens, you will invariably find out if it conforms with nature's organic systems or not.  The greater this conformation, the more viable the system.  In basic ecology one learns that monocultures are a threat to the viability of all the constituent organisms.  The same is true when you observe the the viability of the slowly dying media monarchies.

Avian Magnetometers? 

Migratory birds have long confounded everyone for their uncanny ability to navigate long distances with unerring accuracy. Scientists have now discovered what they think is the location of their built in magnetometers. Even chickens have the biological version of our GPS units. Swainson's hawks flying from Canada to the Argentine Pampas are a classic raptorial navigation story.  Just click...  Read this story, and then see if the term "bird brain" doesn't mean something else. 


Scouts Bearing Gifts  

February 22, 2010: Brighton- Pack 861 members (left to right) Aaron Weil, Trevor Beutner, Luke Davis and Michael Corigliano deliver a pile of valuable gifts to our offices: shop towels, paper towels, anti-biotic cream and preparation H  (no our birds do not have piles), and antiseptic wipes.  Prep H is used for foot treatment in our dry climate.  The scouts used this opportunity to earn another badge.  After a private VIP tour, the young men gathered in our front office to pose with our 29 year old golden eagle.

 

Thanks gentlemen, and thanks to Debra Davis for organizing everything.

Synthetic Texas Crude...a New Oil Rush?  

Lignite coal is the cheapest dirtiest coal around. But scientists have created a process that turns this stuff into high value synthetic crude at $28.84 per barrel.  That crude,  of course, turns into a variety of hydrocarbon fuels, and what's great is that the U.S. has millions and millions of tons of this cheap coal.  Micro-refineries are scheduled for deployment in the next year beginning in Texas.  At $75/barrel for conventional crude, this looks like a winner for secure energy supplies, and the associated jobs.

White-tailed Hawk Arrives    

New arrival!

February 16, 2010: Brighton- Our new White-tailed Hawk,          ( Buteo albicaudatus ), arrived from the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. Locally endangered, this species is found only on the Texas coastal savanna and then further south into Central and South America. This raptor's long pointed wings give it a somewhat "Swainson's" appearance. It hunts small mammals and birds, usually while hovering or kiting high in the air. Currently, he will go into behavioral quarantine with our Curator for a few weeks, and then be introduced to some of our other buteos.  Stay tuned as we publish more information on this beauty.

Thanks to everyone from U.S. Fish & Wildlife, the CDOW, the Texas State Aquarium, and Continental Airlines  for helping us acquire this bird into our collection.

The Raptors Are Coming!!  

February 16, 2010: After a long delay, we have just received notification that the 9th reprint of our first and most popular book, Raptors, has been shipped to the distribution warehouse today!  Thanks to all of you who have patiently waited for our publisher to get this out.


Blowing in the Wind...  

The great wind farm and wind energy bubble is bursting in Europe, and guess who pays the left over debt?  The same game is being pushed in America, and guess who will be paying the tab when the whole scheme crashes. Burning taxpayer dollars to generate  energy is what this whole thing amounts to.  Read a good history of the wind farm schemes that have sprung up and closed down and see what is littering the countryside after the bubble bursts.  Just click...


IPCC Climate Confessions     

Not that it will make any difference to the fraudulent cabal in the White House, but a senior scientist for the IPCC has now confessed to what rational people have known for quite some time, i.e., the AGW theory is a fraud.  When you read the depth of the confession, you might wonder why in blazes the stupid politicians in America's government at both state and federal levels, are still pushing billion dollar solutions to a problem which does not exist.  You might wonder why the American statist media are also fronting for the scam, while the British press is finally doing their due diligence.  Wonder no more, the corrupt media and government collaborators will keep going if they think the public is asleep.  Just click...

Retarding America's Energy Flow  

The current occupants of the White House and their ilk are willfully retarding the free flow of abundant energy supplies which arrests the growth of our economy. Liberate that flow of energy from the utopian delusions of "green energy" and " green jobs" and you would suddenly see that green $tuff moving through the economy again. But the "retarders" in the government are oblivious to what makes an ecosystem vibrant and thriving in the real world, and they are crippling the rest of us. Just click...


2,500 Year Old Nest Sites  

The largest falcons in the world, gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) have been found to be nesting in historic nest sites for 2,500 years.  Coming back to the same site year after year, and generation after generation, researchers were shocked to find how far back some of these nests were dated.  Some of the droppings at these sites are over two meters deep, and provided plenty of material for carbon dating the earliest inhabitants.

Green Math Does Not Add Up  

One of the largest GREEN federal projects designed to stimulate the economy and improve things like energy efficiency and sustainability is evaluated by the numbers. The numbers are far from green and they illustrate the false choices the "greenies" are foisting on the public.  Just click...   The British Parliament is beginning to investigate the criminal aspects of Climategate, as is a law enforcement arm of the European Union.  Have you seen any of this is America's government media complex?

Another Eagle Ascends...

Patrick Tidwell officially ascended into the realm of Eagle Scout. Flanked by his family at his January 30th ceremony, Patrick's eagle scout project was the first one to benefit REF's new facility in Brighton.

The Color of Dinosaur Feathers  

Not only have researchers confirmed the existence of feathers on some dinosaur species, they have now discovered some of the color palette those dinosaurs displayed. This discovery also reveals something about the origin of feathers and the fact that they were not always associated with the ability to fly.  Next time you see one of our raptors up close, you are actually viewing 100 plus million years of  applied adaptations.  Just click...


Economics=Ecology Index  

All of the world "greenies" should look carefully at the report following this introduction. The economic freedom index is a wonderful general indicator of  the ecological health of our planet.  Those at the top of the index (no longer the U.S. A. which ranks 8th.) are the countries most able to promote and create a healthy and viable environment.  As you follow the list to the bottom of the index, you will find those countries that are the worst of everything.  This includes countries whose economic ecology is so dysfunctional that they can barely or not at all even feed themselves.  Zimbabwe is a classic lesson, going from riches to rags in a short period of time.  None of the monocultural political ecologies is healthy.  In fact, they are classic examples of a virulent parasite killing its host.  The simple lesson is that nature is a real "free" marketplace, and the best any country can do is emulate the best aspects of this marketplace, while civilizing the wildest parts.  The key to freedom is readily accessible amounts of affordable energy.  Right now, that does not include wind, PV, or some of the other allegedly green technologies. The best options for the next two decades are still going to be black gold, black coal and demonic nuclear.  The latter really holds the most promise, but it requires a scientifically literate cultural medium to grow in. One of the most exciting, yet older nuclear options is Thorium.  For the index, just click...


Clean Energy Solution  

Nine years ago REF President, Peter Reshetniak, had written about a natural solution to the energy challenges all of us face.  Although it was not PC, this solution still stands as one of the most creative we have ever seen.  We are offering that up again for all of you pushing "green energy" jobs.  Just click...

Denver International Airport: Another Bald Eagle Dies  

December 31, 2009: A bad New Year for this male bald eagle. We received a call about the bird after he was picked up by USDA agents who work the airport.  The bird was struck (on takeoff) by a Southwest jet.  Although the pilot was not sure if they had a bird strike, they did call it in.  The eagle's left humerus was described as  "exploded" by the folks at the Birds of Prey Foundation in Broomfield where he was euthanized.  That type of break is impossible to fix, and even in a facility like REF's one winged birds are very difficult to manage under the best of circumstances.

About a year ago, if you remember, an adult bald eagle was ingested by another jet taking off at DIA, which continues its record as the airport with the highest bird strikes in the country.

With the thousands of Canada geese in the area, and lots of raptors hunting the airport's 50 plus square miles of habitat loaded with rabbits, geese, and other game, it is a wonder that DIA has averted a major tragedy. USDA officers are doing what they can to decrease the chances of such an incident by using a variety of mitigation techniques.

A Fulbright Study of Eagle Culture in Mongolia  

Raptor Fulbright Report

Lauren's story is now available for the rest of us...enjoy!

12/27/09: An avid falconer since age 14, Lauren McGough has always had a love of eagles and the world’s wild places. At 17 she traveled to Mongolia to hunt with the Kazakh eagle falconers. While studying at the University of Glasgow, Lauren began flying golden eagles on the moorlands of Scotland as well as discovering the unique tradition of eagle falconry on the European mainland. Recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with degrees in Zoology and International Studies, Lauren is back in Mongolia on a ten-month Fulbright scholarship to apprentice under the eagle falconers of Bayan-Olgii.

Eagle falconry is only one aspect of humanity's relationship with raptors that goes back approximately 5,000 years.  Lauren will be bringing a contemporary look at this ancient tradition as it is practiced in one of the world's most remote and wild places.  And as possibly one of the first women accepted into this traditionally all male activity, Lauren will have some unique observations to share with all of us.

Lauren is pictured in Scotland after a successful hunt. On the right is Andrew Knowles-Brown (recently visited REF operations...see below)

Thanksgiving 2009

I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to our mission now in its 30th year.  In many respects this year has been the toughest we have seen.  With the general economy tanked and continuing to head south, our revenues have mirrored what is happening to almost everyone. 

Despite the bleak numbers, we have managed to accomplish the massive undertaking: of moving our entire operations from our old home of 27 years at the Plains Conservation Center in Aurora to our new home at Prairie Center in Brighton, Colorado.  The move took 5 months of operating in two locations, until all 30 birds were moved into their brand new quarters.  We were also still able to provide our school, scout and public programs, albeit at a reduced level.

Special tribute goes to the THF Realty company of St. Louis, Missouri, for partnering with us and literally giving us a new lease on life. After losing our lease in Aurora, we were very close to having no future, until the Prairie Center development team from THF agreed to make a place for us at their 2000 acre development in Brighton.  The City of Brighton has been wonderful in supporting our future home of Eagle’s Landing, and Eagle World International to be located at Prairie Center.  To City Council, all the city officials, and the residents of Brighton, thank you!

Hundreds of people helped us with this major transition, but space does not permit me to name everyone. However, I would be remiss to not acknowledge a smaller group whose efforts and contributions allowed this too happen at all. 

First and foremost, is REF Director and miracle worker, Marie Bolster.  Marie’s financial support, practical insights and guidance permitted us to focus on the move more fully, while we lost normal business revenues.  Marie’s goal oriented approach kept the many disparate elements involved in the transition from pulling us apart.

Our fantastic docent team, whose extra labors allowed us to successfully manage our birds in two different locations (separated by 21 miles) at the same time.  The fact that our birds survived the move and are thriving in their new quarters is because of the super efforts of Mews Manager, Shelley Doris, and our Docent staff:  Gene Albright, Tracey Baldwin,  Margaret Catale, Cathleen Collins, Kevin Corwin, ,  Nancy Fortran, Bernie Gardetto, Patrick Langley, Jennifer McAllister,  Alexys Monoson, Lorraine Monoson, Jennifer Redmond, Mitch Skinner,  and Pati StajcarSara McCreery, our administrative assistant at the time, deserves special kudos for her exemplary moving skills and making sure everything was properly organized, as we packed and moved 27 years worth of records, equipment, and stuff.

Overseeing all of this, and especially the health of our birds was Ms. Anne Price, REF’s Curator and Chief Lecturer.  Anne’s energy and experience (she helped move DIA’s airport) made sure our birds survived the ordeal with nary a feather out of place. 

Within our membership, I must also acknowledge Helen Johnson,  Susan Grant Raymond,  and Laura Chapman for their continued generosity over all these years.  Our business partners continued their support through booking our services, especially Frontier Airlines, the Vail Valley Recreation District, the Lionshead Merchant Association, Winter Park Resorts, the towns of  Breckenridge, Dillon, and Fraser.

And last, but not least, to our general membership and all the people whose fascination with the predators that keep a multitude of diverse elements and agents working together to make sure the future will still have eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons as part of Nature’s spectacular show in which we all move and breathe, and have our being.  Thank you.

I am indeed a lucky man for all of this, and my family and friends.  Peter Reshetniak, President.

Eagle Killing Continues        

August 24, 2009: So what would happen if Black Bears decided that they could kill some little old lady that had been feeding them as a ceremonial tribute to their god, Ursus, as their ritual to show their gratitude for the food some kind and stupid Homo sapiens provide?  Could the bears invoke their sovereign nation status as immunity for the murder?  Could they hide behind the veil of their religious freedom to sacrifice one or two stupid Homo sapiens each year as a tribute to their god, Ursus? Well they could, but Homo sapiens would still kill the responsible bear, and any other bear that happened to be snacking on the remains of the dearly stupid Homo sapiens. This is exactly what happened in the story below.  How you decide to interpret the actions of the bear will certainly show your bias.  Aren't you just a racist or speciesist as some say?  Bears having rights to their own religious freedom?  Are you insane?  So what if America's eagles got together and decided that sacrificing a few Homo sapiens  (American Indian babies in this case) each year is a right of their passage from fledgling status to the honorific of Adult Eagle?  As eagles, do they not have sovereign nation status as elegantly described by Henry Beston?   Does that not allow them to take such actions as they please?   What's the death of a few Indian babies anyway?  It's not like the eagles are  using automatic weapons and killing hundreds of them... there are plenty of Indians around.  Hell, those Indians would hit the warpath and certainly kill the offending eagle, and who knows how many more just to send a message. Stupid, right?  Well that's what is being invoked by one Indian named Friday for murdering a bald eagle...its a right of his wonderful religious practices as a member of a sovereign nation.  We say this is the height of  barbaric insanity. And the Interior Department authorities continue to issue permits for this insanity, because they have become invertebrates before the god of "religious freedom."  Just click...  Follow this story in the pages of our web over the  past years.

Global Warming Criminal Conspiracy        

Those of us who have long suspected anthropogenic global warming is a massive confidence game now have the conspirator's own e-mail trails for proof for all but the most deluded. The depth of  data manipulation and scientific fraud is unbelievable, yet our political class is still promoting the fraud at every turn.  What is most damaging to the status of science is the corruption of the peer review process and the integrity of  the scientific method.  How can anyone now trust the veracity of  any scientific projects when they have been prostituted by the political classes for money and fame.  We are now calling for global warming reparations starting with the great Ayatoldyah Aglore, the eco-profit and Liar-In-Chief.  Just click...

We copyrighted this back in 1998, when our instincts knew the reality of anthropogenic global warming was BS.  In 2008, the numerous proofs of global warming, and its causes, confirm our instincts- just read Unstoppable Global Warming-every 1,500 years by Singer & Avery if you are still drinking the cool aid that the Prophet Algore Ayatoldya is pouring into the public drinking fountain.  Otherwise, put this on your car's window and watch people's brains heat up.

First Open House  

November 14, 2009-Brighton, Colorado:  Despite cold weather turning into snow later in the day, our first open house at our new location was a great success.  Visitors came as far away as Seattle, Washington and Cortez, Colorado.  The latter family drove all day, starting quite early that morning.  Multiple tours took visitors through the outside mews, and our door prizes were a hit.

Thanks to everyone who attended.  This will be the first of many to come.  We are collecting feedback, and will probably be offering an open house on a quarterly basis.

Is a Falcon Chasing This Flock?     

  Denmark:  This massive flock of starlings moving in a beautiful synchronous formation is often created by a speeding falcon about to snag one of the starlings. Their defense response is to create this type of display designed to overwhelm or confuse the pursuing predator.

Eagles, Spirit and Substance  

September 12, 2009: Colorado Springs- Glen Eyrie Conference Center: 60 members of SOAR (Serving Older Adults in the Rockies) spent over an hour exploring the world of raptors, and more specifically, learning about the spiritual and symbolic relationship humans have had with eagles over the past 5,000 years.
One of the SOAR members examines a golden eagle egg as he listens to the program describing the variety of spiritual and cultural associations humans have had with eagles.  Why are eagles revered by 88% of the world's 6.7 billion people, and which eagle(s) are in included in all of the holy books of the world's great religions, except the Koran?

Lessons About Feeding Wildlife  

An Ouray, Colorado woman feeds herself to a Colorado black bear that had benefited from the woman's "charity" for many years.   Despite the Colorado Division of Wildlife's attempts to prevent the woman from practicing her "Florence Nightingale" behavior, the woman stands as another marker along the trail of "stupid" behavior people practice when relating to wild animals.  Wild animals are wild, and nobody's "airy fairy" notions will prevent a wild animal from being what it is.  We are the only animal confused about our proper place in the natural order of things.  Even feeding squirrels is a lesser indicator of this stupidity, and few of us are exempt from behaving stupidly.  Just click...


Their Faces Tell Our Story...  

August 14, 2009: Lionshead Mall- Vail, Colorado: Hundreds of visitors to one of Colorado's premier ski areas were provided the opportunity to enjoy our birds at the Family Friday Afternoon Club beginning in early July, and completing our tour this coming Saturday, August 22, 2009 from 3:00pm- 7:00pm.   Come and see the spectacular raptors we will feature during this special Saturday afternoon appearance.

REF's Burrowing Owl has become a favorite of children and adults as they learn about the owl who lives underground  and is busy during the day while most other owls are asleep!  REF's raptorial ambassadors create teachable moments wherever they go.

 

Thanks to the Lionshead Merchant Association, the Town of Vail, the Vail Valley Recreation District, and the Vail Nature Center which hosted our first appearances July 8th and 9th.  See below.

August  8/ 9, 2009: Our newly acquired Northern Caracara has aroused the most curiosity of any raptor we have ever taken to any of our programs. This is probably the only one of these unusual members of the falcon family in Colorado and our surrounding states available to enrapture audiences.

79 Billon Spent by Government on Global Warming  

Since 1989 the U.S. Government has spent over 79 billion dollars on various aspects of the theory of anthropogenic global warming.  Audits of the spending show that the dollars have been hugely wasted with no results that verify the theory.  In fact the results are showing that the theory is full of holes.  This is another Madhoff Ponzi scheme brought to you by all with vested interests in scamming your money. Just click...    If you still persist in drinking the Algorian Cool Aid, then here is another study which provides further evidence that anthropogenic global warming is a hoax, or read what an Australian geologist says about fundamentalist environmentalism.

Joggers Hurt in Hawk Attacks  

English joggers have been strafed by hawks  (called buzzards in England-from the genus Buteo) leaving a couple of them seriously bloodied as the aggressive hawks sunk their razor talons into the runner's heads.  The birds were probably defending a nest nearby and took the fast moving Homo sapiens as threats.  Just click...


$10 Million Fine= 232 Eagles

The federal government has completed an extensive court case against a Wyoming utility for the death of hundreds of eagles, hawks, and other raptors.  The utility operates electrical transmission lines and had failed to update old fashioned power poles which were shown to be electrocuting a large variety of raptors when the big birds used the poles as perches.

Vail Valley Summer Programs  

July 8 & 9th, 2009: Vail, Colorado:  The Vail Valley Nature Center along with the Vail Valley Recreation District hosted a series of programs for some of the children attending summer camp activities in the Vail Valley.  A young lady awaits a free-flying Harris' Hawk coming straight to her providing a dramatic close-up look of the beauty and power of raptors.
Totally enraptured, the young lady's face tells our story as the Raptor Education Foundation continues its environmental education mission.    Anne Price, REF's Curator, explains some very fine anatomical  details on the hawk's face.

On Friday afternoon, July 10th,  the Vail Lionshead Merchant Association will host a public display of REF's raptors and public programs on the Lionshead Mall. This begins the first of a summer long series of appearances on the mall every Friday from 5:00pm- 7:00pm.

Come and visit with us to see what's new and exciting.  Our birds will "green" your mind and liberate your spirits.

Winter Park Wild  

 
July 1, 2009: Winter Park Resort, Colorado- REF's first appearance at the brand new Winter Park Resort Village in conjunction with their Wild Nights theme. Our Raptor Summit brought Winter Park visitors together with 4 of our magnificent raptors in the heart of the village.  Beautiful afternoon weather in this classic Rocky Mountains setting kicked off our very busy summer season.

 


Dillon Nature Nights, 2009  

June 25,  2009, Dillon, Colorado:  Our 22nd consecutive appearance at Dillon Nature Nights featured a special version of  our one hour interactive flying program.  Despite the persistent rain, the show went on for those who braved the inclement weather to enjoy meeting 7 raptors, including both species of America's eagles. As you can see, we have always stated, "Their Faces Tell Our Story." 

Even nature's wet blanket didn't diminish the enrapturing affect of our birds...

 


Ancient DNA of Giant Eagles     

Using DNA studies of the enormous Haast's Eagle, researchers have made some startling discoveries about the origins of the world's largest eagle. Weighing up to 40% more than today's largest eagles, the Haast's Eagle hunted the now extinct 400lb Moas of New Zealand, and both extinct species are yielding significant amounts of data for researchers using modern DNA technology.

EPA  Ayatolahs Suppress & Censor  Their Own  

The Environmental Protection Association has buried one of their top researcher's reports on climate warming because he had the temerity to point on the extensive flaws in the government's positions. These positions MUST fall in lockstep with what the elite political class is trying to ram down the public's throat, which will create one of the largest tax increases on all aspects of our currently debauched economy.  The climate warming bill is over 1,000 pages, and it is extremely doubtful that any of our alleged public servants will read more than a few pages of another legislative shackle to turn everyone into completely indentured servants. Quoting Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, Itoh dubs manmade warming as "the worst scientific scandal in history."  Remember folks, what we have said years earlier, global warming is nothing but the next Ponzi scheme foisted on the taxpayer by the likes of Algorian political pirates who have hijacked our ship-of-state.

An Accomplishment For Eagles  

His Day of Many Proud Accomplishments

Memorial Day Weekend
05.23. 2009-Brighton, CO
:

Eagle Scout candidate, Patrick Tidwell walks along the new fence posts of  his Eagle Scout project. It was installed with the help of 30 scouts, friends, and family.  This is the first Eagle Scout project to benefit the Raptor Education Foundation at their new Brighton headquarters.

Patrick's project was also the largest and most complicated project to benefit REF's operations over the past 29 years.  Not only did Patrick and friends install a brand new 400 foot long fence along our frontage road, his organizational skills managed the entire project from starting at 08:00 hrs to cleanup and departure at 15:00hrs.  Wow!  Let's also not forget, that Patrick's proposal and planning document was the most comprehensive we have ever seen, and they threw in a thorough cleanup of our entire nine acre site just because a few of the scouts ran out of stuff to do.

Thanks to Patrick, his immediate family, and his scouting family.  All of us at REF are eternally grateful!

Are you ready for an eagle scout project?

New Section Added  

The current economic cycle brings a series of lessons which might instruct anyone paying attention to what is going on. One of the basic disconnects with virtually all economic theorists is still not being addressed in any substantive manner.  One serious scientists brought his focus on economy and ecology back in 1933 at a time when America was in the midst of the Great Depression.  That scientist was Frederick Soddy, the winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry (1921), and his book, Wealth, Virtual Wealth and Debt, is a brilliant look at our economic system.  It offers much to anyone interested in such things, and it offers a way out of our current dilemma.  This new section will address many of the issues that have come back to haunt all of us again.  Just click...

2009: Read Again From Henry Beston  

A New Year's resolution could not be any better if it would simply serve to remind Homo sapiens of  their own limits.  To that end, one of our favorite authors wrote in  The Outermost House:

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

Working with raptors for the past 29 years, many of us at REF have learned to acknowledge some small part of the quote above, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to remind other humans of this unconventional perspective about their momentary presence in this vast spinning, dancing, waving and pulsing universe. If unfamiliar with Beston, we urge you to make yourself acquainted with his perspectives.  You will benefit yourself and all around you.  Happy New Year!

And in the same vein about who we as humans are, science is rapidly seeing us in an entirely new light. "If you have gone through life blithely thinking of yourself as a "human being", then 2009 will bring the shocking news that it is time to think again.  You are a "human-microbe hybrid" or "super-organism", dependent on a vast number of microbes that live in your body, do vital jobs for you, and both influence and provide unique indicators of your health....Their numbers are staggering: 100 trillion microbes live in the average human." * And only about 10 trillion cells are human, so Beston's quote above takes on another entirely more personal meaning.  2009 will be the year of the hybrid in more ways than Toyota can deliver.

Live Eagle Sacrifices Continue  

The despicably reprehensible  sacrifices of live golden eagles continue to be permitted by America's federal government. Yep, you are reading it right!  Killing beautiful golden eagles for the sake of some religious fairy tale.  Our updated report from Frank Buono lays bare the facts  of what has happened over the past few years.  Your politicians continue to support this barbaric behavior (among others), because they are spineless to deal with what is done under the guise of religious freedom. Everyone, however, came completely unglued when a well known football player got caught killing pit-bulls that wouldn't fight successfully in the culturally justified "sport" of dog fighting.  Where's the indignation, uproar, or disgust when another set of Homo sapiens kill golden eagles and other raptors for the sake of some culturally justified "religious ritual" ?   We think these Homo sapiens deserve at least the same opprobrium for behavior that is equally barbaric and disgusting. Just click...  Our thanks to Mr. Buono for caring enough to continue tracking this federally enabled barbarism, and politically correct brutality.  Where do you stand?

In 2005, Khabibullo Abdusamatov Predicted as Much

Who? What? Good science is built on credible data and can begin to predict patterns based on data evaluated by the mind of a perceptive scientist.  Well, Mr. K. Abdusamatov, Russian astronomer, has been collecting good data for years and he predicted that 3 years from 2005 the sun would reach one of its peak activity cycles and solar radiation gain on earth would begin to decrease.  Basically, the temperature would begin to decline towards a cold period.  Canadian scientists along with others are seeing more and more data confirming exactly that trend.  We may in fact, be heading for the Maunder Minimum, a period of very cold weather that lasted about a century. Carbon dioxide has no relationship to these cycles, and neither do the hysteric predictions of  hucksters like Imam Algore Ayatoldyah. Maybe Algore and his ilk should pay global warming reparations to everyone they have bamboozled over the past years?  Just click...  And here is more evidence of the possibilities of the coming of the new ice age.

Public Servant James Inhofe Tips  Eco Imam, Algore Ayatoldya, Over  

Senator, Public Servant James Inhofe of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works established his credentials as a respectable member of Congress by entering into our public record current and factual information concerning allegations of anthropogenic global warming.  If you are a knee-jerk acolyte of Algore Ayatoldya, you will not want to read this, but if you suspect Algore and his ilk of running one of the biggest scams in recent history, then Inhofe's 2 hour speech will get your immune system inoculated against the viral hysteria permeating the public psyche. If you have sympathies for the environment, then you must have similar sympathies for the scientific method, and the application of common sense.  Spend some time and read this speech.

New Documentary Exposes Lies Promoted by Algore Ayatoldya   

03/05/07-It will not win awards from Hollywood or Bollywood, but this new video shows that the evidence behind the claim that global warming is man-made is simply bad science: BS.  That nonsense, so skillfully promoted by a rich hypocrite like Algore, only shows how susceptible the public can be to slick advertising propaganda, and a consensus fostered by government funded research dollars, not evidence.  The information (evidence) in this new documentary has been available for some time, but only in the written form of books and peer reviewed journals. Now all of it has been put together to counter Aglore's nonsense in a format, which even he might be able to comprehend.  For more on this extensive peer promoted scam, Just click.  A top French scientist recants his support for the global warming BS and agrees with the evidence, just click...  And now they also threaten to kill those who are skeptical of Algore's one true religion- just click...
