WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

I was chatting to a friend of mine at length about science and the scientific discoveries of recent decades.
The discussion was really interesting as we were comparing notes on the stacks of science documentaries that both of us have been watching at length.
There are a lot of discoveries that are now hard science, but which were really thought of as crackpot just a few decades ago.
And even some of “conventional science” has undergone some changes as new hard facts make the history of the world in prehistoric times and even more recent times more fascinating.
One of those concepts is that prehistory and even more recent history since humans have been around is actually full of chaos. Originally, it was thought that life and evolution was a slow, step-by-step process. Now it appears that there is chaos, and stop-and-start mechanisms. For example life hardly evolved for over 3 billion years and suddenly, all the most complex life came about in the last 600 million years during which time vast quantities of life came and disappeared forever!!
Bizarre ideas which were once postulated by scientific unknown people, might not have always survived in their original form, but were later adopted in a modified form when they found the hard science for it.
Consider for example Velikovsky who wrote the book “Worlds in Collision”. His original ideas were about Venus, but he maintained that planets were whacking into each other. Now we see that ideas that collisions with the earth formed the moon are taken seriously in scientific circles and complex mathematical proofs and simulations of these events have been produced.
Another whack-head with weird ideas was Charles Hapgood who said that the earth might flip over. It turns out that planets, by their nature, are actually unstable over long periods of time and that pole shifts are not abnormal, but are in fact the norm. The exception being the earth which is stabilised by the moon!
The more I ponder what modern science is coming up with… the more it appears that life on Earth, and that our current state, is an extremely lucky state of affairs which can be changed overnight. Like the dinosaurs we could become extinct quickly, and not by nuclear holocaust or climate change, but by nature itself.
Prehistory is replete with examples of the annihilation of most of the species on the earth at a point in time. It was not just the extinction of the dinosaurs that was a once-off event. There are many extinction events. I once saw a graph showing massive-planet-wide extinctions happened every 26 million years and nobody knows why.
More recently, the discovery of 20 super-volcanoes has turned prehistory on its head. 75,000 years ago, a super-volcano in Indonesia wiped out lots of species and scientists estimate that the human population of India (which is now 1 billion people) was down to a mere 600 – yes, 600! They can prove that due to genetics.
In the USA, the biggest threat facing America might well be Yellow-stone national park. The world’s biggest super-volcano resides under it, and it could do as much damage to the USA as a nuclear war. Not only that but its erupted about 5 times in the last 2 million years or so. I think the last eruption was 600,000 years ago.
They still are trying to figure out why mammoths, the short-faced bear, sabre-toothed cats and the Clovis people disappeared from North America about 10,000 years ago…
The more I look at it, the more I think we are less likely to kill ourselves. We are more likely to be wiped out by our own planet given enough time.
And if you think nasty, large-scale events cannot occur, then just sit back and consider these:-
o 1908 – Tunguska explosion in Siberia – possibly an exploding meteorite – it was like a nuclear bomb and very luckily occurred in a very remote area. If it had exploded over a more inhabited region or over the sea (tsunami) imagine the damage.
o Krakatoa – barely 200 years ago – a volcano exploded and wiped out a whole island. (A replay of what has happened to the Romans in Italy).
o 75,000 years ago an exploding super-volcano in Indonesia sent the whole world into darkness. I stand to be corrected but I think it was 1,000 years of darkness from the dust. Entire species were wiped out.
o They have now uncovered a total of 20 super-volcanoes. These could be major killers.
We know for a fact that we will get meteor strikes from space – it is only a matter of waiting for long enough. But volcanic activity on the earth may be even more dangerous.
Somehow… suddenly… all those “Greenhouse gases” that people are moaning about seem pretty irrelevant. Nature can do far deadlier things in an instant. Pre-history is filled with more extinctions than you can believe, and no, they do not happen every 65 million years… they happen much more often!!
