Global Warming & What the Government Isn't Telling You
if time is limited i suggest starting with part 10 to get a big picture perspective on what the video is about.
John Moore - www.thelibertyman.com.
Even the Vatican knows the oceans may suddenly rise. They have already moved most of the Vatican Library and should be complete by early 2010. Government is ready to run from Denver Colorado, the North American Union supier Corridor will replace sunken West and East sea ports. North American Union is scheduled for 2010. Are you ready ?

Global warming is a joke and hoax of NWO and its dupes in media/business....though the storms coming are increasing and God's finger to destroy, not from man-made emissions,etc.....God uses storms to cleanse......he ahs hit several areas that are pro-homo, like New Orleans and palces in Florida that have hosted or were about to host gαy pride stuff.......

Those videos are VERY, VERY good.
It corroborates a lot of other facts I knew --
Wal-mart building shelters (their headquarters is in Arkansas -- I always wondered why!), Northcom being based in the mountains of Colorado, the doomsday seed vault, caves being dug all over the world, etc.

CIA Plans to Shift Work to Denver
Domestic Division Would Be Moved
By Dana Priest
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 6, 2005
The CIA has plans to relocate the headquarters of its domestic division, which is responsible for operations and recruitment in the United States, from the CIA's Langley headquarters to Denver, a move designed to promote innovation, according to U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials.
========================================
E
Starting in the Brezhnev period, Russia has been pursuing construction of a massive underground facility at Yamantau Mountain and the city of Mezhgorye (formerly the settlements of Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16). The complex, reportedly being built by tens of thousands of workers, is said to cover an area of up to 400 square miles, the size of the Washington area inside the Beltway.
The exact location of this large facility is uncertain, and given its reported size it may span as much as an entire degree of latitude and longitude. It is apparently located near the the Zlatoust-36/Yuryuzan nuclear weapons production plant and the Yuryuzan national-level nuclear weapons storage facility. The Yaman-Tau Gory [mountains] range is centered at 52°25'N 56°45'E, while the peak of Yamantau Gora [mountain] is at 54°15'19"N 58°06'11"E. The town of Beloretsk is located at 53°58'N 58°24'E, though NIMA does not include a listing for Mezhgorye. This facility may be synonymous with "Alkino-2" since the town of Al'kino is nearby at 55°05'N 58°04'E.
On April 16, 1996, the New York Times reported on a mysterious military base being constructed in Russia: "In a secret project reminiscent of the chilliest days of the Cold War, Russia is building a mammoth underground military complex in the Ural Mountains, Western officials and Russian witnesses say. Hidden inside Yamantau mountain in the Beloretsk area of the southern Urals, the project involved the creation of a huge complex, served by a railroad, a highway, and thousands of workers."
The New York Times quoted Russian officials describing the underground compound variously as a mining site, a repository for Russian treasures, a food storage area, and a bunker for Russia's leaders in case of nuclear war. "The (Russian) Defense Ministry declined to say whether Parliament has been informed about the details of the project, like its purpose and cost, saying only that it receives necessary military information," according to the New York Times.
Satellite photographs of Yamantau Mountain show continued digging at the "deep undergound complex" and new construction at each of the site's above-ground support areas. Judging from satellite photos and other intelligence, US officials are fairly confident that the Russians are building an underground command bunker and communications installation. But "... the Russians are not very interested in having us go in there," a senior American official said in Washington. "It is being built on a huge scale and involves a major investment of resources. The investments are being made at a time when the Russians are complaining they do not have the resources to do things pertaining to arms control."
Aviation Week and Space Technology reported that "The huge underground complex being built there has been the object of U.S. interest since 1992. 'We don't know exactly what it is,' says Ashton Carter, the Pentagon's international security mogul. The facility is not operational, and the Russians have offered 'nonspecific reassurances' that it poses no threat to the U.S." Russia's 1997 federal budget lists the project as a closed territory containing installations of the Ministry of Defense.
Leonid Akimovich Tsirkunov, commandant of Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16, stated in 1991 and 1992 that the purpose of the construction there was to build a mining and ore-processing complex, but later claimed that it was an underground warehouse for food and clothing. And then Commander-in-Chief of the Strategic Rocket Forces General Igor Sergeyev denied that the facility was associated with nuclear forces. M.Z. Shakiorov, a former communist official in the region, alleged in 1992 that the Yamantau Mountain facility was to become a shelter for the Russian national leadership in case of nuclear war. Sources of the Segodnya newspaper in 1996 claimed that the Yamantau Mountain project was associated with the so-called `Dead Hand' nuclear retaliatory command and control system for strategic missiles.
According to one recent account ["We Keep Building Nukes For All the Wrong Reasons", By Bruce G. Blair, The Washington Post Sunday, May 25, 2003; Page B01] "... the Yamantau and Kosvinsky mountains in the central and southern Urals ... were huge construction projects begun in the late 1970s, when U.S. nuclear firepower took special aim at the Communist Party's leadership complex. Fearing a decapitating strike, the Soviets sent tens of thousands of workers to these remote sites, where U.S. spy satellites spotted them still toiling away in the late 1990s. Yamantau is expected to be operating soon. According to diagrams and notes given to me in the late 1990s by SAC senior officers, the Yamantau command center is inside a rock quartz mountain, about 3,000 feet straight down from the summit. It is a wartime relocation facility for the top Russian political leadership. It is more a shelter than a command post, because the facility's communications links are relatively fragile. As it turned out, the quartz interferes with radio signals broadcast from inside the mountain. Therefore the main communications links are either cable or radio transmitters that broadcast from outside the center."
Beloretsk is a center of Beloretsk region of Bashkortostan. It is situated on the cross of Belaya River and Magnitogorsk-Beloretsk-Karloman rail-road. It is 264 km. far from Ufa and 105 km. far from Magnitogorsk. The population was 73600 of people in 1995 ( 19900 in 1926, 59300 in 1959, 72400 in 1989). One of the oldest minig and metalurgical centers of South Ural appeared because of construction of the metallurgical works. Before The First World War narrow-gauge Zaprudovka-Beloretsk line was built. In 1923 the village Beloretskiy Zavod grew into town, in 1926 it was connected with Tukan and in 1927 with Inzer by narrow-gauge line. Wood and ore was transported from these towns to the plant. Including the plant to the field of activity of Uralo-Kuzneckiy group of enterprise was the reason of its reconstruction and its transfering to a coking coal. Town development became quicker after constructing the rail-road to Ufa (1997). The main city industry is the metallurgical works. Other plants in Beloretsk produce tools for building, springs for tractors, nails, etc. There are also woodworking industry, meat and dairy factories, plants producing bricks and ferro-concret items.
The Republic of Bashkortostan is located in the Southern part of the Urals along the line of Europe and Asia. Its area is 143,600 sq. m. As of January 1, 1995 the population of Bashkortostan was 4.097 million people. The capital is Ufa is with a population of 1.1 million residents. The republic has 54 administrative areas ("rayons") and 21 cities. Other large cities include Sterlitamak (256,000 inhabitants), Salavat (155,000), Nefetekamsk (123,000), Oktyabrsky (108,000). Representatives of 70 nations and ethnicities live in the Republic of Bashkortostan, including Russians (39.3 percent), Tatars (28.4 percent) and Bashkirs (21.9 percent). The urban population constitutes 65 percent of the total.

Here is another horrifying point to consider. The NWO wants a 95% population reduction. Not telling the public of epic sudden sea rise would cause the loss of a billion lives ? Now if information comes out that the Vatican knew this would happen, how many people would loose their Christian faith. The survivors would probably Curse all things Catholic.

Now that I think about it, the jonas brothers band has a reference to this, at least indirectly in one of their songs. It's called "3000" goes something like this: "year 3000, not much has changed but they live underwater..." something to think about.
And no I don't listen to the jonas brothers.

Personally, I'd be more concerned about a "flood of fire" than one of water.
But honestly, I'm with gladius on this one. You can run for the hills or dig your bomb shelters, or run around in a bio suit if you want to... but if we're going to go, we're going to go.
Alternately, the bad guys or even the forces of nature can do their worst, but the power of God and of Mary always come out on top.

So, not even going to try to survive? Throw in towel? True, God will do what He will and wants,but I am not too much into Calvinist predestination.......the Gospel jsut did not spread, people had to act and do....too many Trads just want to say "Thy will be done" and do nothing at all....do not think getting some food water and ammo ready is "psychopathic"....I die one way or another, one way is not in servileness on my knees, maybe in prayer on my knees, not in servile......Plenty of Prohecies speak of Catholic fighting back, esp under Great Monarch to come.....not giving up.....guess the Monarch and his warriors are crackpot psychopaths too......

Luke 21
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves; 26 Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved; 27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty. 28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
29 And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees: 30 When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh; 31 So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. 32 Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly. 35 For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.

70 mph coastal winds mark arrival of second storm
SEATTLE -- The second strong storm in as many days was moving through Western Washington Monday night, battering the coast with 70-75 mph winds and promising more rain and wind across the rest of the region.
Hoquiam recorded a sustained wind of 43 mph with a gust of 70 mph at 7 p.m. The 70 mph gust followed a 61 mph gust just before 6 p.m. that must have felt like a freight train because 26 minutes earlier, the wind was at a paltry 7 mph.
Peak gusts so far as of 11 p.m. Monday evening:
* Hoquiam: 70 mph
* Astoria: 66 mph
* Bellingham: 66 mph
* Oak Harbor: 57 mph
* Forks: 55 mph
* Bellingham: 55 mph
* Alki Beach: 48 mph
* Everett: 47 mph
* Friday Harbor: 46 mph
* 520 Floating Bridge: 43 mph
* Seattle (Sea-Tac): 43 mph
* Olympia: 41 mph
* Everett: 41 mph
* Gig Harbor: 40 mph
Forecasting models show a second storm center developing just off the coast and tracking into south-central Vancouver Island before rapidly weakening as it moves into the mainland B.C.
With this new storm center closer and more intense, forecasted wind speeds have been increased along the coast and Northwest Interior. High Wind Warnings are in effect there through noon Tuesday.
Wind gusts are now expected to continue to reach as high as 70-75 mph along the coast, and possibly as high as 60-70 mph in the Northwest Interior. Winds will begin gusting here in the 10 p.m.-midnight time frame and last into Tuesday morning.
In the Puget Sound area, the storm is expected to weaken enough before it crosses far enough inland to start our winds going. Here, it's a lesser Wind Advisory in effect until noon Tuesday for potential wind gusts of 40-50 mph, mainly early Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, the rain just continues non-stop as if not to care how many storms are coming through or which storm goes with what rain.
On Monday night a downed transmission line knocked out power to 10,000 customers in Sumner, Puyallup and Wilkeson. Power was restored before midnight.
Approximately 9,560 customers of Grays Harbor PUD also lost power due to a number of weather-related causes, including downed trees in power lines. It was not known when power would be fully restored.
Some 20 other scattered outages were reported in Whatcom and Skagit counties, as well as Whidbey Island, but only a few customers were affected by each outage.
Lots of rain = flooding
While the wind has been coming and going, the rain has been relentless. Gauges show 6-8 inches of rain had fallen on the southern half of the Olympic Mountains, with more on the way with storm totals set to reach over 10 inches.
Flood Warnings remain in effect for the Skokomish (major flooding), Satsop (moderate flooding), Dungeness (moderate), Bogachiel (minor), Chehalis (minor), Stillaguamish, and Elwha Rivers. Warnings mean flooding is occurring or imminent.
Flood Watches are still in effect for all Olympic Mountain-fed rivers, Whatcom and Skagit County rivers, as well as Lewis and Thurston Counties. We could also see a little urban flooding where clogged drains sprout up spontaneous lakes.
Over on the coast, a Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect Tuesday for the effects from persistent strong south winds, combined with high tide, 20-foot waves, and low atmospheric pressure to cause coastal flooding. The predicted high tide Tuesday is 11.1 feet.
Minor tidal overflow occurs around 13.5 feet, with coastal flooding in Aberdeen at 14.0 feet. These conditions are ripe to add about 2-3 feet to tide table predictions, so thus, the watch. Those along the coast should be prepared for some tidal flooding.
What's going on?
A bit of a curveball developed late Monday afternoon as a secondary storm center formed to the southeast of the main storm which was well offshore. Forecasting models had been waffling back and forth over a secondary storm center, but none had it as strong or as close as this one developed.
So what looked like it would end up being a fairly strong storm far away (and not quite as strong as it appeared Sunday), we also formed a slightly weaker storm, but much closer -- close enough to really ramp up the winds along the coast and northwest interior.
The main center of the storm is still expected to make landfall as well Tuesday morning, keeping the gusty winds going through the night and through the morning, but again, mostly focused along the coast and Northwest Interior.
The Puget Sound area appears to have lucked out in some sense that these storms will be pretty far north and weaker by the time they get to the spot where the draw in the southerly winds.
Still, the storm is powerful enough to bring winds that could be damaging. Plus, we now have the added factor of a day's worth of soaking rains to make the ground soggy, meaning it likely won't take as strong of a wind to knock over trees.
So I'd prepare for potential power outages just in case.
Why so windy for so long?
As to why it's been so persistently windy up north and along the coast -- Bellingham had a 12 hour period of 40 mph gusts -- the storm tracks have been to our northwest and north, carrying large areas of low pressure along for the ride. Air flows from higher pressure to lower pressure and so air is trying to race offshore to meet up with the lower pressure out there.
With little terrain on the coast, air flows unimpeded toward the storm, so wind speeds can get really going. As lower pressure moves north of Forks, air will also shoot out the Straits of Juan de Fuca, Georgia, and across Vancouver Island. The "Northwest Interior", as well call it, has an open path for southeasterly winds to race toward the lower pressure offshore. But for areas south of Everett, the Olympic Mountains are a big wall and prevent a southeast wind from garnering up much steam to head to the northwest. That's why it can be really windy on Whidbey Island for hours on end, but just down the road in Seattle, winds are weaker and don't last near as long.
However, once the storm center moves due north of the region, now instead of a southeast wind, we have a south wind and the Olympics are no longer a factor as the air can just race straight up the I-5 corridor. This wind also affects the Northwest Interior, so it's a double whammy for you and another reason why wind events last so much longer up there.
And this upcoming storm is no different to where, say, Whidbey Island will see strong winds from roughly late Monday evening to 9 a.m. while the Puget Sound area is likely more limited to the 5-9 a.m. frame.
Do we ever dry out?
Only eight more months to SeaFair!
But since it is November, the answer in the short term is... no. The storm passes by midday Tuesday, and we'll all calm down again. But lo and behold, a third storm is looming for late Wednesday into Thursday now. This might bring a third round of wind on par with these two, but we'll keep an eye on it.
A series of storms continues to move through over the weekend and into early next week. Some long range models are trying to shift the West Coast into a drier pattern over Thanksgiving, but others keep it still kinda wet, if not as stormy, next week.

Fish Movements northward (colder waters) in both Pacific & Atlantic ?
===============================================

Fish movements in North Atlantic may soon change what's for dinner
Expenses rise as many species shift to colder, deeper waters
By CLARKE CANFIELD
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine -- Fishermen have known for years that they have had to steam farther and farther from shore to find the cod, haddock and winter flounder that typically fill dinner plates in New England.
A new federal study docuмenting the warming waters of the North Atlantic confirms that they're right -- and that the typical meal could eventually change to the Atlantic croaker, red hake and summer flounder normally found to the south.
"Fishermen are businessmen, so if they have to go farther and deeper to catch the fish that we like to eat, eventually it won't be economical to do that," said Janet Nye, a fishery biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the lead author of the study.
"It just won't be in your local seafood store, or maybe it'll be more expensive," said Nye, who works at the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Mass. "So I think there'll be a natural, hopefully slow, switch to different seafoods."
For the study, which first appeared Oct. 30 in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series, Nye and three other NOAA biologists analyzed water temperature trends from North Carolina to the Canadian border off Maine from 1968 to 2007. They then looked at fish survey data collected each spring and assessed where the fish were caught and how abundant they were.
The researchers looked at the familiar New England species as well as lesser-known fish such as longhorn sculpin and blackbelly rosefish.
Of the 36 stocks studied, the distribution range of 24 of them had changed in unison with the rising water temperatures that have been occurring off the Northeast coast since the 1970s.
That temperature rise doesn't sound like much -- less than half a degree Fahrenheit, on average -- but it has been enough to cause fish to slowly move to areas with temperatures more to their liking.
The greatest movement was exhibited by the blackbelly rosefish, which moved more than 200 miles to the northeast during the years studied. Among commercial species, movements of more than 100 miles were observed for southern stocks of yellowtail flounder and red hake, as well as American shad and alewives.
Some fish exhibited little movement to the north, but rather moved to deeper waters where temperatures are lower, according to the report.
Small-boat fishermen on Cape Cod caught most of their haddock and flounder, as well as the peninsula's namesake fish, in waters close to shore 20 years ago, said Tom Dempsey, of the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association. Nowadays, they have to travel as far 100 miles offshore to find those same fish, he said.
At the same time, he said, Massachusetts fishermen are catching more fish traditionally found in the Middle Atlantic -- Atlantic croaker, in particular, usually caught off Virginia and North Carolina.
"How much of that is directly impacted by climate change is hard to get a handle on," Dempsey said. "There are a number of other factors that have been at play, one being overharvesting in inshore areas and, subsequently, ecological changes as inshore areas have become dominated in a lot of areas by spiny dogfish populations."
The study is one piece of the puzzle in figuring out the factors that influence ocean species, said Jason Link, a NOAA fisheries biologist and a co-author of the study. While the report says climate change is the driving factor, he said, other influences -- such as fishing pressure and long-term natural cycles in ocean temperatures and atmospheric conditions -- play a role.
"We're looking at how much of this movement to colder waters is perhaps related to the environment as opposed to how much is due to fishing," he said. "I don't think this paper totally answers that question."
While the report docuмents the movement of fish in the Northeast and the Middle Atlantic, there is evidence to suggest that marine organisms in southern U.S. waters are also moving north, said Jay Odell, a marine specialist with The Nature Conservancy in Richmond, Va.
Sea turtles that normally nest on beaches in North Carolina and south have been nesting in Virginia and Maryland in recent years, he said, possibly because of rising water temperatures.
"One of the messages of this paper is that tracking why some fish are doing well and some aren't, and why fish are moving, is a very complicated business," Odell said.

There will be no climate treaty to emerge from the conference in Copenhagen this month, global leaders now concede. But there may be alternative ways to help combat global warming. Various methods of geo--engineering employ unorthodox means to cool the planet. Advocates say that some of these proposals could be implemented quickly and cheaply. One concept is known as stratospheric aerosol insertion. A primer:
How It Works
Military planes (or helium balloons) spray the stratosphere with sulfur gases, which disperse and oxidize. The particles scatter back into space some of the sunlight that would have been absorbed by the planet's surface. As more sunlight is deflected, the planet cools. It's like an artificial version of an erupting volcano.
The Bottom Line
No major technological innovation would be needed, and, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, one -kilogram of sulfur could offset the effect of several hundred thousand kilograms of carbon dioxide. Potential downsides: regional ozone depletion, shifts in weather patterns, drought.

Found a graphic that goes with this topic of an apocalyptic deluge of American sea coasts and low lying areas.
Considering how America is the country that has trashed the world with pornography , Jesus instructions of how to handle child abusers comes to mind.
Jesse Ventura's new TV expose of the elite's preparations for survival indicate that this is no joke.
