I know that linking what’s happening in Burma,,,,,,,,. Look, I would rather call it Myanmar if that is alright with you.
What’s going on there should be referred to when history looks back as being the under the title the people who run that country chose to call it so that the responsibility is on them. Later when they’re gone, it should be called Burma where hopefully there will be change. Anyway – It’s no secret that Katrina tracked directly through regions heavily populated with oil refineries. But what a lot of people don’t want to acknowledge is that the emission from those kind of facilities interact with water vapor in the atmosphere in a highly volatile way. Refineries control those kinds of emissions most of the time. But at the time Katrina struck, a political situation in Washington centered around the production and use of a chemical made from those emissions created circumstances where there was nothing that could be done with large stores of these highly volatile pollutants so they were dumped into the atmosphere which was followed back inland by tropical storm Katrina, which then became a hurricane. Ethanol plants throughout the Midwest right now are being allowed to emit these same kinds of emissions from distilling fermented corn beer into ethanol along with drying left over waste from the corn mash to be made into feed for cattle. The distilling and drying process sends millions of tons of water vapor into the atmosphere along with the same emissions that are needed to create highly volatile weather conditions. It’s not at all complicated.
The byproducts of the distilling and drying are VOC’s, Volatile Organic Compounds, acetaldehyde, which is really an NMVOC, a Non-Methane VOC. And the emissions from running the plants themselves are NO’s, Nitrogen Oxides, mostly from coal. It’s no big secret that these are precursors to low level ozone formation when they combine in ultraviolet -C rays from the sun, which burns the two compounds in the atmosphere releasing their energy value. This is all happening as the emissions are mixed with higher amounts of water vapor than usual because of all the water vapor being emitted from the ethanol plants.
Even under normal conditions, low level ozone formation will seek out water vapor sources from the ground and trees to create abnormal weather patterns causing drought in some regions and flooding in others. If you go back and review storm patterns crossing the US since ethanol started being added to gasoline where it is now being produced heavily across the Midwest, where their emissions along with the same kinds of pollutants from refineries in Texas to Louisiana, storms move from West to East as usual without abnormal violations of the American landscape until they hit that row of VOC and NO emitting fuel refining plants. Then they turn deadly.
It used to be, before ethanol was the favored additive to gasoline, storm systems would only get violent coming out the refineries around the Gulf of Mexico. And there’s another phenomenon that you may be able to witness first hand if your memory goes back far enough. The same kinds of emissions of VOC’s come from burning ethanol in our fuel. And since we don’t clog up the metropolitan areas of the country on the weekends like we do with Monday to Friday rush hour traffic, the gases mixed with water vapor we pumped up into the atmosphere during the week start to settle back towards the ground on the weekend which causes the weather to come in weekly patterns.
So where I live outside Washington DC in Northern Virginia, for the past three months or so, barring the last couple weeks because they took ethanol out of gasoline to try to dissuade this argument from being able to be made, weather patterns were exactly the same with temperatures going up and down and raining all happening on the same days of the week as the week before. It was like that all winter and last year too, ever since the spring of 2006 when ethanol use began. But this spring came with it being exactly the same for two months in row. And when they stopped using it a couple weeks ago, there was no cloud of pollutants mixing in the sun with water vapor to carry the emissions from the ethanol plants across the country so there has been nothing but flooding and violent weather in the regions around the ethanol plants.
The reason this is being done is complicated. It has to do with the additive to gasoline that ethanol replaced, MTBE. I will tell you more if you ask. But MTBE emits formaldehyde in high amounts which is also an NMVOC. Enron corporation was grand central for MTBE’s production and distribution. The real story of what happened to Enron financially and criminally crashing is connected to a scandal that began when it was found out in Washington that strange weather patterns in the 1990’s that were attributed to El Nino were actually being caused by MTBE emissions.
The first George Bush president and Ken Lay of Enron got MTBE mandated to be added to gasoline. The Democrats supported it.
Near a 100% of congress voted for it along with environmentalists. So there was no conduit to express the truth about it when it started to surface because everyone who you would expect to speak out about the problem was one way or another connected to causing it. If the first George Bush president hadn’t allowed Saddam Hussein to enter Kuwait in 1990 distracting the press corps in Washington DC from covering closely the Clean Air Act of 1990 debate, MTBE would never have had a chance of making it to market. The debate, which I was one of the few people in the nation to follow the details of outside of those involved in it, was a farce, a joke. There was nothing redeeming about MTBE presented while the scientific community who weighed in on its potential benefits were strictly against using it outlining everything that went wrong with it before it was ever used. But Enron had passed out so much free money around Washington that our leaders ignored reality and forced it to be added to gasoline anyway. .
On September 11, 2001, 911, the story about MTBE’s effects on weather patterns was getting ready to break out into a volatile public forum centered around details of a missing intern in Washington DC named Chandra Levy. The true story of her disappearance lead back to the MTBE scandal. Saudi Arabia was the largest exporter of MTBE at the time, exporting most of it here to the US. Just before the war in Iraq began in 2003, it just so happens that congress was secretly debating a liability waiver for MTBE producers that would have protected them from groundwater pollution lawsuits but was written in a way so that the American people would foot the bill for anything that MTBE had ever done. So if the truth about what it did to weather patterns ever came out, the oil industry was protected. And congress began trying to pass an energy bill with the liability waiver in it just as the war began hurriedly trying to get it through the House and Senate and onto the Presidents desk as the war quickly ended, which would have allowed him to sign it without it being scrutinized by the media because Bush would have been riding such high approval ratings that no one would have questioned all the great things he would have been saying about what was in the energy bill, which were untruths anyway but he would have dressed it up just like he did the one in 2005 that was passed and signed just before Katrina hit the South. And its that energy policy act which is hurting the economies of the world right now, centered around making ethanol, the new MTBE. But using the beginning of the Iraq war as cover for passing the MTBE liability waiver into the energy bill was exposed so the energy act stalled in the Senate, which was, in part at least, my doing. Then I was arrested and sent to Houston being handed over to a federal judge who helped set up Enron’s online trading unit which allowed for MTBE to be produced and distributed while managing the loan taken out to build infrastructure to support MTBE’s production without Enron appearing to be the central agency who oversaw the industry. This judge was appointed to the bench by old man Bush just as MTBE was being put on the market. The insurgency began as I was able to stir up enough trouble while in jail in Alexandria Virginia before I was transferred to Houston to stop the bill from being passed without the American public knowing the details of what they were doing. As they tried to use the courts to shut me up, whenever they tried again to bring up the energy bill in a way that no one would know the details about it, the insurgency would become highly volatile so the press was focused elsewhere. But I had known about who this judge was before I was arrested. I knew a lot of things they didn’t know I knew. Like what they say about absolute power corrupts absolutely. It also makes people who have it really stupid. I beat them up in their own courts really bad while the liability waiver for MTBE producers went down in flames along with the energy bill with a landslide of MTBE lawsuits being filed on top of it inspired by information campaigns I conducted from inside the federal detention center in Houston. The point is that in Myanmar, just a few months ago, the first harvest of jatropha beans came in after the Myanmar government had gone to great pains to force them to be grown upsetting many of their citizens because they replaced desperately needed food crops in many areas. And now the government has become a laughing stock for having grown the beans without having built refineries to turn them into biodiesel fuel. But when I look at the track of that storm heading into regions strictly controlled by the Myanmar military, I’m reminded how in my line of work, when a government looks like it’s totally inept, there’s often something missing from the story that makes everything fit together. And for the story about the jatropha beans, I gotta figure that after the beans were harvested, they were stored somewhere strictly controlled by the Myanmar military with them saying they were to provide for the nations future fuel needs once they had a way to refine them. But that military dictatorship has a corrupt tradition of selling its national assets for money to fund their personal lifestyles with rather than sharing it with their citizens. And it’s not complicated to make biodiesel fuel from jatropha beans. But if it’s done hastily or controlled by inept personalities that only care about the financial aspects of their endeavor where they dumped the waste from washing the pressed oil from the beans in acid, into rivers or on the ground, there would be a huge amount of the kinds of pollutants that react with atmospheric water vapor to cause horrific storm movements flowing downwind or stream of where the refinery was located. I’ve been tracking the source of these kinds of storms for a long time. They never come inland or even get excessively strong without the help of pollutants, most of which are manmade but also can come from natural methane gas and natural VOC emissions. Myanmar has a lot of natural gas resources but they export it, or so they say, because they have no infrastructure to be able to use it properly. But if they were using natural gas without knowing what they were doing to run a jatropha bean biodiesel refinery that they also didn’t know or care how to operate properly, that would be the equation needed to cause a normal strength storm to detract from its path heading towards land becoming uncharacteristically strong as it did.
And it would follow back to the source of the pollutants and stop, which the cyclone stopped in Rangoon, a stronghold of the military junta and center of trade where the beans would have been brought for storage, a likely place to build a secret refinery. Given the strange stories about the fate of Myanmar’s jatropha bean program’s failure; Given the location that the cyclone headed towards the capitol, or old capitol where the junta has much control having now restricted access too it; Given the fact that the government has protected the region from outside help even though they’re in such desperate need of aid - it all signals to me that there is a high possibility that the Myanmar military were secretly refining biodiesel and caused the cyclone to go where it did with such unprecedented force. Case in point - A couple years ago I heard Rush Limbaugh claiming that strong inland bound hurricanes are naturally occurring, not a result of global warming. He sited the 1900 hurricane that removed Galveston Texas temporarily from the map as evidence for his argument because that storm happened before the oil industry had been created. And if you research the history of oil in Texas, sure enough most accounts tell how the discovery at Spindletop in Beaumont is where Texas’ oil started to grow roots. But seeing as how the storm happened before the Spindletop find, it threw a wrench into my arguments. So I kept looking until I found out about a major field and refinery in Corsicana near Dallas that had reached its peak just as the storm hit. And the storm followed inland tracking right to the refinery. Not only that but just before the storm, Texas legislators had hurriedly passed laws to put controls of emissions from drilling oil and refining it which suggest they were already aware then that VOC, NO, and methane emissions can effect weather patterns where they took educated steps in controlling an industry that supposedly hadn’t begun yet. The point is that there is a precedent for a storm of considerable comparable force to the cyclone in Myanmar being created from a small refinery that was inefficiently controlling its emissions. And if you don’t believe in atmospheric science being related to you by someone not respected in the scientific community, check out my source, Drew Shindell, who says we’re not experiencing global warming caused by carbon dioxide but regional weather pattern changes on a global scale being caused by low level ozone forming gasses, low level ozone, methane, and all of their reactions with water vapor. Of course most people believe it has to be caused by CO2 because it has been proven that CO2 levels are rising as temperatures are changing. But eventually all pollutants break down to become CO2. So if pollutants cause weather pattern changes regionally on a global scale, then of course there would be a rise in atmospheric CO2 levels as temperatures change. But CO2 is like a fingerprint. It’s what the finger is connected to that we should be looking at, the hand, arm, and body that are being ignored as the problem but are the true culprits behind the atmospheric changes we witness daily around the globe. In 2004, Drew Shindell was recognized by Scientific American as being among the top 50 scientists in the US, the first NASA scientist to receive this recognition. He has qualified my theory in emails that I have copies of where he tells me that carbon dioxide has nothing to do with what’s causing weather pattern changes we’re seeing, that it was being caused by pollutants being emitted by MTBE and industrial coal plants, that weather patterns are reacting to pollutants as they are emitted claiming further that adverse weather patterns would stop in any region that stopped emitting the pollutants. But once I sought clarification of what he said by telling him I was referring to MTBE being the source of the high amounts of formaldehyde I was referring to, he would not respond further. I later pretended to be an angry young female college student blaming him for being responsible for all the harm that was being caused by the American people not knowing the truth about climate change. A couple months later, he testified on Capitol Hill that his publishing’s were being censored by lobbyists from the oil industry who were appointed by George Bush so that his work no longer reflected the science he was trying to report on. But even then, as he tried to explain his science in the hearings, the Democrats running the committee kept interrupting his explanation of his science only wanting clarity of how Bush was preventing him from talking about global warming issues as if global warming related to CO2 was what he was trying to relate in his work. If you review the transcript of what he says, he’s trying to bring attention to low level ozone effecting regional warming trends in the arctic circle. But for anyone, which is most people, not trained in understanding the different atmospheric theories in what causes weather pattern changes, they would come away thinking that Bush was trying to restrict validation of Al Gores global warming theory, which Professor Shindell has written to me saying it is totally irrelevant to climate change. He is not an aggressive social personality and is easily intimidated. But he’s told me that he will publicly address his concerns if he has support. I hope you will make good use of this information. I believe a leak now at the right level will bring these energy lies to an end. I think you’re at the perfect level to be able to allow this to happen with the kind of discourse this kind of story needs so that it doesn’t leave the future of freedom trashed in its wake as it seems is the intent of our leaders who are going to any length not to admit they made mistakes, which now they’re really more into a cover-up mode of how they covered up their original mistakes where I suppose our future as a free nation failing might look to them like a way to keep the truth from coming out. The good news, that is bad news at the same time, is that our leaders a bunch of morons who have no idea what they’re doing, that they are nothing more than idiots who are in way over their head and can be easily beaten if taken to task for their crimes. So if you can deal with any of this, let me know how I can assist you or if you want any other information. I am just scratching the surface here. I’ve been carefully gauging the right time to break the whole story out into the open. It is right now. So if you’re with me, lets roll Brother. Let’s stop this stupid thing hoping the truth is enough for Americans to wake up and realize who they are, the caretakers of the future of freedom on this planet because only our Constitution and Bill of Rights allow us to attack this kind of problem directly without a civil war. But there has to be more than us having the right to act peaceably. We have to take up the task of doing it or we might as well be in a country that doesn’t grant us this grace. Fortunately for us, what we face is a lie. And all that’s needed to set a lie straight in a land of free speech is telling the truth to the people being lied to. By Bobby Fontaine
Hit the stumble button and let the world make up its own mind regarding ethanol production, and whether its playing a part in turning regular storms into killer hurricanes and typhoons.
