MORE...Branson...Gore...Whitehorn...

I have a unique take on the recent Climate Awareness Explosion.

Through an ironic twist of fate, The Environment, my pet cause, suddenly became the pet cause of both Richard Branson and Al Gore.

Branson’s Virgin Galactic Airways is my primary competition in today’s New Space Race.

Although the Virgin Media Machine has touted Branson’s efforts loudly, he is no closer to reaching his stated Space goals than I am to mine.

Therefore, in the battle for first, I stay abreast of developments with Virgin/Branson.

It’s simply a matter of knowing the competition.

Our first contact was in 1999, when I submitted my proposal for GAIA TWO to Virgin.

They requested that I continue to inform them of my progress, and that decisions were forthcoming.

As we all know, Virgin went to Scaled Composites, and Bert Rutan for their vehicle.

However, I have continued to correspond with Will Whitehorn, Virgin Galactic President, and Branson’s right hand man ever since.

Correspond is euphemistic at this point.

Will no longer responds very often, but he sees my comments and suggestions regularly.

At some earlier point in time, I offended Will’s sensibilities with an email.

These days he only gets back to me when there is something contentious to deny.

I believe the turning point of our pen pal relationship came when I commented about some foible in Virgin’s plans by writing on my blog, “It’s too late to stop the trainwreck…”

This was in relation to some boondoggle by Virgin Galactic, and was intended as a friendly jibe.

Whitehorn responded by BlackBerry, while in transit to a real train wreck, in which a Virgin Commuter Train had derailed and caused serious injury and damage.

To this day, I don’t think Will has forgiven me for that unfortunately timed transgression.

( No kiddin'...it actually happened exactly like that...the icy chill down my spine while reading Will's BlackBerry message was palpable...)

But, it could also have been from the time I accused him of lying to a US House Sub-Committee when proposing his Space Port America ideas to the funding agencies.

Whitehorn stressed that no Government investment would be needed in financing said venture during his speech before the committee.

In his own words, he later told me that investment/financing deals were made with New Mexico officials while the hearings were in progress, and closed his response with, “Nobody has ever successfully called me a liar. Don’t you be first.”

I think the stress is on ‘successfully’ in this case.

All of which adds up to my reasons for doubting Sir Richard’s real purpose with his Virgin Galactic escapades.

Adding to these doubts is the timing of his association with the Esteemed Al Gore, or Algore ( like some overstuffed, lurching, mythical Frankensteinian presence ), as I like to call him.

Just at the time that Virgin needed a big publicity push for their new ventures in the US, Sir Richard decided to anoint Algore “…the leading advocate for confronting the threat of Global Warming for...thirty years…”.

This according to Branson’s newly minted ( September ’07 ) website touting his Virgin Earth Challenge...

NOTE...I just discovered that The Virgin Earth Challenge has become a subsite of the Virgin webpage...no longer worth its own site, I guess.

From the day these two guys got together, to right now, we have been inundated by Algore’s presence, and he's getting paid for the publicity.

That’s some serious representation by the Virgin Media Machine at work, Folks.

Imagine what you’ll be hearing and seeing when the machine is turned loose on Virgin Galactic.

If all runs true to form, pretty soon we’ll be afraid not to go on one of Sir Richard’s voyages.

Heck, it only took them a few years to instill a fear of breathing into us all.

MALL SLACKER DREAM...

Picture the new Anthropogenic Shield encircling Earth.

It feels like living inside a thoroughly shaken and tossed Snow Globe right now.

But, never fear, if we let everything settle, our environment will clear, and life will be beautiful.

How can we go wrong?

The most thoroughly compromised, naturally unaware individuals alive are currently reaching agreement, using the tried and true methods of political give and take, strange bedfellows, and behind the scenes bargains struck in smoke filled rooms all over this Blue Orb.

Pretty soon, we will have a Globally Legislated Climate within the AnthroShield, and Global Commerce will flourish.

I like to envision these clowns striding the halls of power, filled with their newfound Climate Sense, considering Earth's Climate the same way as they do The Climate of the Court, the Business Climate, the Economic Climate, and other significant indoor issues.

Algore would need to be airlifted and resucitated if he ever woke up on a mountaintop and drew a deep, clear breath of icy morning air.

As would all the rest of these Bozos.

Yet, we are all sitting back while the overstuffed, pasty faced, mega-compromised Pols of the world are actually putting together the groundwork for Global Climate Legislation.

All of which leads to The Global Mall.

This totally enclosed shopping experience, featuring every product from Earth's every nook and cranny, is exactly where Climate Legislation will lead.

Think about the mentality behind these decisions.

It's time to acknowledge this actuality.

Can Mickey D's in Space be far behind?

Hey, Folks...

You have been seeing a lot of these two Earth Juggling Shysters recently.

The skinny blonde guy, Sir Richard Branson, is about to become the "Face of Space".

We'll get back to him later.

The tubby one isn't a Baldwin brother...he's Algore.

Algore is Earth's leading Environmentalist...according to the "Face of Space".

The point is...they gotcha by the short hairs, and are about to start yanking you backwards really hard...not to stop you...more like a choke chain.

You will then be sent forward...under control.

Algore and the Face of Space have big plans...that include a much tamer, more subdued version of you.

A you who understands and accepts the sensation portrayed in "Oliver Twist", Pink Floyd's "The Wall", and countless other morality plays performed over the ages.

"...more, Mister..."

Consider this...

A man who missed being elected President of the USA by a few vaguely crooked votes is approached by a renowned, flamboyant entrepeneur/promoter with big plans for expansion into the Global Marketplace.

The almost President is easily swayed by the flashy hypester.

Algore, the almost President, is the son of another flamboyant, easily swayed by flash and hype US politician...Algore the Elder, influence peddler extraordinaire.

Bargains are struck.

This took place about five years ago.

The sequence of events leading from then to now has been highly touted via media outlets worldwide.

The "Face of Space" and his organ grinder's monkey, Algore, are well on the way to their goal.

FULL CIRCLE...

The realization that our everyday actions alter Earth's Atmosphere isn't anything new.

Global planting of fearful suggestions, predicting dire consequences as a result of said actions...on a massive, media powered scale, is.

Recycled 60s rhetoric, twisted by a bunch of Ivory Tower Cowards into Save the Earth...or else...is pompously spewed from on high.

Right this instant, in The Halls of Power, all over the Globe, powermongers are positioning themselves for what's to come.

These clowns are planning to legislate Earth's Future Climate in the name of Global Economic Stability.

While the confused, cowering masses hope for the best.

The big boys are playing now.

Hey, Kids...if ya want what they're pitchin'...prepare to play along...or die.

The big time Think Tanks of The Eighties prognosticated and pontificated loudly and clearly about the upcoming Global Economic War.

In the History books, this period of time will be called The Globalization Crisis...unless things escalate to WWIII.

For those of us living through these tumultuous times, it is our lives.

For the first time, Humans everywhere are being to told to consciously adapt on cue, or die.

In the so-called Climate ( ACO2 ) Crisis, no matter which side you are on, believer or denier, the consequences frighten you...even if your side wins.

This is happening because the powermongers have every reason to believe we are dumb as rocks.

We have fallen for their nonsense up until now.

There is zero indication that this trend won't continue.

We can no longer afford to remain as stupidly complacent as we have become.

In the survival game, mental toughness has always proven necessary.

It is the reason we are Earth's current Climax Animal.

Right now we are operating with noggins full of quivering jello...generously swirled with synaptic swill.

Wake Up...Get Over It...Forge Ahead...
