The end of planet earth?

  The big cyclotron on the Swiss/French border, could be cooking up a recipe to kill us all.  So said Stephen Hawking , before he died.  He likened the "scientists" who are running that show, to kids with a new toy, who don't know what they may be cooking up !

We're already there with all the
genetic dilly dallying that's going
on. GMO food,  artificial sweeteners,
genetically engineered vaccinations,
chemtrails of who knows what, etc.

It's an honest miracle we're not all
deathly ill

just a matter of time before the real cause of us going extinct will be and thats overpopulation. We cant feed the world today and population is growing faster then ever and will continue to grow out of control till the end. My guess is looking at population growth over the last 100 years and factoring it that those numbers are very low compared to today id say thats about it. Between 1950 and 1987 the population doubled. Now with twice as many baby makers how long do you think it would take to double again and then again. we will starve shortly if we dont kill ourselves first

That's what pandemics are for. To thin the herd.

We can grow lots of food here, but with
government interference and them sending
all our harvest overseas, there's shortages
that are created

These scientists aren't half as smart as they think they are, not even the best of them.  Someone once said, "just because I don't understand it, it doesn't mean I have to accept your BS explanation."

The only kind of dark matter that I know of is made by Ghirardelli and it's oh so good...

Another huge waste of food production is ethanol.

My observation is that it is the same with all humans.

So. Where are you in the percentage game?

To my shame, I'm obviously part of the 99%, just like almost everyone else, to their shame.

Ethanol is almost as bad for IC engines as it
would be to fill up with ocean water and pee

[geezerbiker]

I don't know where you're getting your information.  Ethanol has been a racing fuel for a very long time.  Every Indy 500 is run entirely on Ethanol.  The high level required in gas does have a crowding out effect in the food market but a lower percentage is beneficial to octane and help prevent carbon build up in the combustion chamber and on the valves. 

When it was first introduced as a motor fuel in the US there were all kinds of fuel system issue because some of the old gas additives that would build up are alcohol soluble. These deposits would wash away in with the gas/alcohol blend and plug everything up.  Also alcohol will damage fiberglass and a few cars and motorcycles had glass tanks and these could fall apart if not coated to prevent it.  Also some of the early gas/alcohol blends use methanol and it's hard on some of the castings used to make carburetors.  Methanol blends went off the market a long time ago and it's no longer something to be concerned about...

I get my information from racing experience
When we raced, we bought drums of
METHANOL


We never used ETHANOL in fuel

Even then,  any form of alcohol is degenerative to
fuel components,  sometimes even components
specifically designed for use with alcoholic fuels

Nothing works like petroleum does

  Old news...correct, but I am guessing that many still never heard of the experiments going on with cyclotrons.

  There was at one time a drive to build a giant supercollider in NY State, running between Rochester and the Pennsylvania border, but concerned citizens moved to put it down...and they did.

  There was one also planned to encircle Waxahatchie, Texas..but that was shut down for some reason.

never ran a car on alcohol but did use alcohol injection when i was fooling with turbo'd grand nationals We used Methanol. Some even used water. What it did was make your fuel harder to ignite so it wouldnt detonate (preignition or knock for some). It allowed you to put more fuel and air into your motor which allowed more static compression. To run just alcohol and get power you need very high compression because alcohol just doesnt burn as hot and fast as gasoline. Octane gets many confused. Some think the higher the octane the faster and hotter it burns and the more power you get. Its just the opposite. Octane slows burning. If your computer is set to run 87 and wont adjust for premium and advance the timing to take advantage of it (which most cars dont) your throwing money away buying premium and in fact it wont burn as well in your motor and you can actually loose performance. What meth injection or for that matter water injection did for us is allow us to run more boost (static compression) without having to search for or pay high dollars for race gas. It did it by slowing down the igniting of the fuel. but if you turned on the meth injection and ran low boost you would actually loose power. Alcohol is not a great fuel. its why flex fuel vehicles make less power and get worse mileage when they use it. Indy cars dont use it because its a better fuel. they use it because it makes them look like they care about the environment. bending over for the left. Its mandated not optional.

We have the ability to feed the entire world if we wanted to.  The Netherlands (Holland) is the 3rd largest exporter of food in the world.  They grow everything year round in greenhouses.  We could do the same in only a few areas.

It isn't really just the food. It is too many of us critters living to close together. Sickness spreads fast and crime proliferates when we are two crowded just like other critters.

Too many people in China, India, and now an explosion in Africa.  It is a wonder more of these people haven't died from disease, not just hunger.

That is why there taking over our country bribing and getting dirt on one politician at a time and infiltrating our school system one liberal fool at a time, like they have need for these fools when there done using them. Maybe grease for there tanks...

  Grease for tank tracks...phew!  When I was a young, 18 year old tanker in 1955, I served with PFC Terry, a grizzled old tanker/lifer.

   Old Terry (he may have been nearing 40), had some very ugly stories to tell, relating to being a tanker entering Germany, and meeting the Volkssturm..that is the old men and Hitler youth who fought many times. to the death.

   BTW:   Terry was a PFC when I knew him...but he was previously a warrant officer.  He found out though, that while a warrant officer can argue with a 2nd lieutenant, beating the lieutenant's butt, was out of the question.

The Bible says during the last days, whether you believe in pre, mid, or post tribulation, about 1/3 of the people of the world will die from plagues and pestilences, 1/3 from war.  That is over 4 billion people.

Is that scripture in The  Book of Daniel, or Revelation? Where can I find that?

  It is found in Ezekiel 5:12...

   ...But remember CONTEXT !  Start reading  at Ezek 5:5, where he clearly says "this Jerusalem", and he was referring to the then comong takeover by the Babylonians, and destruction of Solomon's temple..
 
   That was done by Nebuchadnezzar around 590 BC.  One can figure, they probably killed 1/3 outight..the second 1/3 probably were left behind, to die from the diseases brought on by so many corpses rotting and finally famine,   
 
   The other 1/3 were apparently carried off to Babylon, opening things for Daniel to deal with Nebuchadnezzar.

My Grandfather after serving 21 years retired a buck private. I think the last one he knocked out was a Major...
