What would you address the temperature-C02 discrepancies in the past?
And what about that petition which collected over 31,000 signatories rejecting the mainstream theory of global warming? Thats a scam too?

Just as we need oxygen to breath, plants need CO2. Isn't it logical that more CO2 means better plant growth. And thats just the case, as pointed out in that documentary.
I don't believe everything I read on the Net. No one can claim to know everything. But as one learns, one has to revise his knowledge right? Don't believe everything that the mainstream says.

Yeah, you might also want to ask how come its the most flagrant abuser of human rights at home and abroad and yet still acts with a holier-than-thou attitude. WTF is Saudi Arabia a close ally when it has worst human rights records than Syria and probably has more terrorists per capita as well. The US makes good ironic humour in a world filled with irony.

Not sure about particle-beam weapon, but I would think particle-beam rifle is pretty good. Better accuracy than assault at long-range and seems to deal more damage.

I had to use a double stun, plus a stun to get an ortnock down once. The easiest way, as always, is to just head shot, hands down.
By the way, I found that the plasma blaster really sucks. I hit an ortnock from behind at point blank with ball, and he was still standing! Had to sneak a sniper in there and deliver the coup de grace execution style.
But as I always have a stunner with me, its pretty useful when a soldier spots an alien in the next room with only 5 TU left. You just got to send a fast soldier with stunner or plasma blade and finish the alien off, or its your head on the ground.

« on: June 22, 2008, 08:19:12 am »I've told people locally for over a year that they should accept "global climate change" as opposed to "global climate warming."
Actually, I don't take either side in the debate, I've seen arguments on both sides that make sense. My view is that I simply don't know - I'm aware changes are going on, but every time someone runs a computer simulation they can't include all the relevant data (there's just too friggin' much of it) and so they always get radically different results.
The phrase "climate change" is BS, the climate is always changing! The sticking point of man-caused global warming is a global tax. Such a tax would in effect create a feudal society where everyone is enslaved monetarily to those fear-mongerers. Economic warfare on the common man to centralise power, both economic and political in a world government.
In the first place, CO2 does not cause global warming. In the decades before WWII, temperatures rose continually, yet industry was in its infancy. After WWII, when CO2 levels were rising as industrialisation picked up, temperatures fell until the early 70s, which was a period of economic recession as well. So clearly, CO2 and temperature has little, if no link at all. The documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" is a good watch for anyone interested.
If you still think that Man is causing global warming, then WTF are other planets in the solar system experiencing climate change as well?
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/161106suvjupiter.htm
And recently, a petition organised by scientists of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine has gathered 31,000+ signatures by fellow scientists, which includes 9000+ Ph.Ds, rejecting the claim that human emissions of greenhouse gases cause global warming.
http://www.petitionproject.org/
Now thats CONSENSUS. AL Gore and his Malthusian cronies at the UN are nothing more than just liars out to scam the people of Earth. You go green, while they reap the greenbacks.
The current environmental scare is just to scam people into accepting more global governance for a problem that doesn't even exist. As 'Jackass' Chirac, the former French PM said, it doesn't matter if global warming exists or not, its useful as the "first component of an authenic global governance". Said like a true elitist and the enemy of the people.

Then how can I present my whole reply?
I dont live in the states, but i guess its the consequence of electing republicans- radical parties always tend to restrict human freedom.
The worldwide government itself is not a bed idea. What could be done can be evil- but doesnt have to be that way. Its like the knife- you can use it to make food - or slit a throat
Republican, democrat, its the same people that are paying them.
"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." -Lord Acton
Besides, its not like this is a recent happening. A one-world government has be planned hundreds of years ago. Its just that recently the technology has been developed that would allow ease of control. And so, the history of the past few decades, maybe even centuries, have been geared towards establishing such a system. Take government-sponsored terrorism for instance, if one researches it carefully, the conclusion is that the only terrorists in the world are the governments that condemn them. Governments carry out terror attacks, the people demand action, and the government is able to push through their agenda as part of the solution. Problem, reaction, solution.

Kildor is right that the winner will be $. Obama and McCain, to use a vulgar analogy, same sh!t, different a55holes.
Both are sponsored by huge corporate interests, both support the pheony War on Terror based on lies and government-sponsored terrorism, both want to attack Iran, even though the US Intelligence Community knows that Iran has no weapons program since '05, that even that may be a lie to establish that Iran had hostile intentions. Besides enriching uranium is a right under the NPT.
Whichever side wins, they're just two wings of the same bird. You know what hope is? It's something intangible within every American, as well as in every person in countries where elections are held, that gets crushed every four years.

And finally,

In elite circles, world government is being discussed openly, however, without the knowledge of the public, because it would mean the ultimate
centralisation of power, which is antithetical to a democracy, WTF that form of government doesn't even exist. In the first place, you people in America
are supposed to have a Republican form of government,
"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
- John Adams
The Republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind - Thomas Jefferson
But now, you have a fascist government, waiting to be merged into a totalitarian world government. And but "fascist", consider this quote from Mussolini
on fascism:
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -Benito Mussolini
For years, a core of elites have been planning, without the knowledge of their citizens, the merging of countries into regional blocs, starting with
the EEC in 1957 with the Treaty of Rome. What started as an economic union, ultimately became a political union, which is the "progressive regionalism"
which Brezeinski was talking about. In the US, its the same under NAFTA and the SPP. As Henry Kissinger said, NAFTA "is not a conventional trade agreement
but the architecture of a new international system".
I wonder if any of you have heard of the Transatlantic Policy Network? I doubt not. Already this private think-tank (which produces stupid ideas), has
(without mention from the mainstream news) gotten congressional support from Congress to work towards a US-EU common market by 2015. As the North American
Union takes shape, it seems that it's undergoing simultaneous merger into a global entity.
After all these, can anyone doubt the deliberate secrecy that conspiracy is defined as? What about the whole history of government sponsored terrorism?
9/11? Building 7? I'm sure you've heard of all these issues, don't be kept from the truth by the Orwellian 'crimestop' and 'doublethink'. In the first
place, official versions are lies meant to keep the majority happily sedated, harmless to the ruling establishment.
Last example, consider the Cold War. For decades, communism was supposed to be the archenemy of capitalism and the American people. However, it was Woodrow
Wilson that authorised Trotsky's passport to go to Russia and ferment revolution. As documented by Antony C Sutton, Wall Street bankers financed and
lobbied to support the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Later, US firms continually built up the Soviet military-industrial complex, through WWII (Lend-lease,
but thats understandable)...BUT why the f*** did the US give Stalin nuclear blueprints ?! (http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/wars/jordan/01.html) Later,
James Roosevelt, son of FDR, admitted that his father made the decision to share the nuclear bomb with the Soviets. And throughout the Cold War, even
though they were supposed to be enemies, the US Govt gave tacit approval to firms who aided in the built up of the Soviet military and even gave them MIRV
(1 missile, multiple warheads) technology! Go read Antony Sutton's "The Best Enemies Money can Buy" for more on this subject.
So conspiracy is everywhere, throughtout history, in the business world (Why are there anti-trust laws, and more recently, congressional investigations
into the Commodities Future Trading Commission on speculation that is driving up oil prices- right oil shortage is BS!), so why do people think the
political realm is immune from conspiracies?

Well, who cares, you might ask. When surveillance societies are being a permanent fixture in our society, Big Brother is indeed watching. And I'm sure you'll have heard of the recent FISA "capitulation" where Congress is going to give telecom companies immunity from the law as they spy on Americans, which one law expert has said to be the "evisceration of the 4th Amendment" (http://rawstory.com/rawreplay/?p=1319). When laws like HR 1955, the "Violent Radicalisation and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act" define terrorism as "violence, or force" (What's the difference between those two? Well, technically, force could mean using logical argument to influence... see this for a detailed explanation- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJsovPRTEM), potentially criminalising dissent. Wasn't America founded to protect rights such as this? Or have you all forgotten your Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights? Even if you disregard conspiracy, can you deny that present governments are not of the people and for the people?
Nevasith said something about breaking human rights, you don't need to look to Guantanamo or even Abu Graib, just look at cases where police tase people for non-compliance (For a continually updated list- (http://www.informationliberation.com/?category=Tyranny/Police%20State). And thats "torture" according to the UN.
As to the world being controlled by satanists, thats quite unbelievable, but lets if you're a Christian and have read Revelation, that's a whole different matter, which would take quite a whole to explain. But a conspiracy to establish world government, or the much-ridiculed New World Order conspiracy? Thats a fact. Globalisation COULD be a natural phenomena, developing as nations strive towards their own aim. But this is not the case. Consider the following,
"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."
-Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole."
"We cannot leap into world government in one quick step [...] The precondition for eventual globalisation- genuine globalisation- is progressive
regionalisation, because thereby we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units."

« on: June 21, 2008, 05:36:56 am »
But since we are able to build 7 bases, almost one on each continent, I thought I would build 3 'main bases', in that they would have the basic production, alien facility, 2 storages, 1-2 labs, 2 living quarters, 1 team room, 1 large hangar and UFO hangar, and always 1 SAM plus the basics, to be able to respond to threats across the map without having to travel far, that way the Firebird is at less risk. Then the other bases, I'm considering making into dedicated production bases with a minimum batch of soldiers and AA def. As for research, after a certain point, it becomes useless right?
And what about this base attack thing? Also, I would like to ask if the random UFO is a threat to my bases. If for instance, I see an UFO approaching, do I assume it'll be game over if it reaches my base? Do they function for any other purposes than just to train soldiers, since the crashed UFO would be too damaged to be salvaged.
