Fake Terror Alert Issued By Saudi Globalists
Photo By Associated Press
Just weeks before the election another false terror attack has been issued, this time by Saudi Globalists. As Lt. Fletcher Prouty documented in his book, “The Secret Team” all intelligence is carefully crafted to meet the needs of the secret team whose goal is a total control grid police state.
European officials were informed that “al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was doubtless active or envisioned being active” on the “European continent, notably France,” Hortefeux said during a joint TV and radio interview.The terror threat is real? This is laughable. How can anyone believe this absolute trash crafted to further spread fear into the minds of American citizens? Elements of our government are openly working for the big banks, the same banks who have defrauded America for at least the last one hundred years.
“The threat is real,” he said on RTL-LCI-Le Figaro’s weekly talk show. Associated Press
Al Qaida was created by western intelligence. This is an undisputed fact. It has been reported in multiple major newspapers yet somehow whenever a terror threat is issued this fact is conveniently left out.
The Associated Press report went on to state that the warning from Saudi Arabia is the latest in a long list of reports that have put officials on heightened alert.
We must not overestimate the threat or underestimate it,” the minister said. “We are directly concerned.”The American people need to realize that these threats are being used to spread fear in the minds of citizens right before a crucial election. That or cave dwelling terrorists are once again going to magically attack major targets around the world.
No one could be reached at the Saudi Interior Ministry late Sunday.
The U.S. State Department advised American citizens living or traveling in Europe earlier this month to take more precautions following reports that terrorists may be plotting attacks on a European city, possibly a shooting spree or other type of attack similar to the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks in India.
Sea Ice News #27link
This week we continue to see strong gains in Arctic Sea Ice. JAXA’s extent paused briefly, but has resumed a strong upwards climb, now exceeding 2005 for this date.
JAXA AMSR-E Sea Ice Extent -15% or greater – click to enlargeIn other news, NSIDC released an interesting video using Google Earth.
They’ve recently updated their files to show data from 2010, and the results are quite stunning:
According to their site, the 2010 low (reached on September 19) was the third lowest on satellite record:
Average ice extent for September 2010 was 4.90 million square kilometers (1.89 million square miles), 2.14 million square kilometers (830,000 square miles) below the 1979 to 2000 average, but 600,000 square kilometers (230,00 square miles) above the average for September 2007, the lowest monthly extent in the satellite record. Ice extent was below the 1979 to 2000 average everywhere except in the East Greenland Sea near Svalbard.You can check it out for yourself using this KMZ file
The U.S. National Ice Center declared both the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route open for a period during September. Stephen Howell of Environment Canada reported a record early melt-out and low extent in the western Parry Channel region of the Northwest Passage, based on analyses of the Canadian Ice Service. Two sailing expeditions, one Norwegian and one Russian, successfully navigated both passages and are nearing their goal of circumnavigating the Arctic.
. Or, if you’d prefer, you can simply watch the video below that shows all of the data in the KMZ.========================================================
In following the link from The Google Earth blog to the NSIDC page link they cite, I noted the September Average extent graph, which is different than the usual annual minimum extent graphs we see.
Figure 3. Monthly September ice extent for 1979 to 2010 shows a decline of 11.5% per decade.- click to enlarge
And of course, it looks like a “death spiral” to paraphrase Dr. Mark Serreze, but it is only 30 years of data, so who’s to say it isn’t part of a longer cycle? One thing that has always bugged me about NSIDC is that they don’t provide data to go with their plots, and of course none was listed with this one, so I decided to use the large size of that plot to hand digitize the values.
Here’s the manually digitized data I got from that NSIDC September average extent graph. Values are year, and average September extent in million square kilometers:
1979 7.20 1980 7.80 1981 7.25 1982 7.45 1983 7.55 1984 7.20 1985 6.90 1986 7.60 1987 7.50 1988 7.50 1989 7.10 1990 6.25 1991 6.60 1992 7.55 1993 6.50 1994 7.20 1995 6.20 1996 7.90 1997 6.75 1998 6.60 1999 6.25 2000 6.35 2001 6.80 2002 5.95 2003 6.20 2004 6.10 2005 5.60 2006 5.90 2007 4.30 2008 4.70 2009 5.40 2010 4.90I wondered what JAXA would show for September averages. Fortunately since JAXA provides the daily data here, it was easy to bring it into a spreadsheet and calculate the average. Here’s the values I got from my spreadsheet. Values are year, and average September extent in million square kilometers, rounded to nearest hundredths:
2002 6.11 2003 6.28 2004 6.16 2005 5.70 2006 5.98 2007 4.60 2008 5.08 2009 5.53 2010 5.45Note that 2002 didn’t have a full month of valid daily data, but it appeared to have enough since JAXA plots September extent on their own graph. I plotted them both, using Dplot, and here’s the output:

Feel free to check my work, the output of the spreadsheet I used to calculate the JAXA averages is here: JAXA_2002-2010_SeptAvg
…as a PDF file of values (WordPress.com won’t let me upload XLS files)
It seems that the differences between NSIDC and JAXA average September extent are getting larger since 2007, and that JAXA is always showing more extent than NSIDC. In September 2010 there’s a whole half million square kilometer difference between the two averages. It’s curious.
Speaking of NSIDC, Dr. Walt Meier has asked to do a guest post here, and I’ve approved a slot for him, so I’m going to hold much of my weekly discussion in deference to him. In the meantime, the WUWT Sea Ice Page has a wide collection of images and graphs from both hemispheres to brief you.
Also, if you have not seen it yet, this book review from WUWT contributor Verity Jones on what the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute thinks about the Arctic Ice loss (they predict a rebound) is well worth a read.
U.K. spending plan calls for deep cuts
'We have to see this through,' treasury chief says
linkCabinet ministers in Britain's centre-right coalition government have reached an agreement on tough spending cuts, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said Sunday.
Osborne said he's on track to rein in the government's £155-billion deficit ($250-billion Cdn) and reduce its debt by cutting £83 billion ($134 billion Cdn) in spending over four years.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne walks along Downing Street in London on Oct. 13. (Toby Melville/Reuters) Osborne offered few details, but media reports said the spending review to be unveiled Wednesday calls for eliminating up to 600,000 public sector jobs.
Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government, which took office in May, has already announced a raft of measures, including welfare cuts, a hike in the goods and services tax and a rise in the retirement age.
In an interview with the BBC, Osborne said the new plan will "restore credibility to the public finances."
"We have to see this through, and the course I set out in the budget [in June] is the one that we have to stick to because people in this country know we were on the brink of bankruptcy.
"If we're going to have growth and jobs in the future, we've got to move this country into a place where people can invest with confidence," he said.
Osborne said schools and health care will get more money, not less.
Two new aircraft carriers will be built and the massive Crossrail project of new railway connections under central London will get the green light, among other construction spending.
Osborne said those projects will get Britain out of its current financial crisis.

French motorists rush to fill gas tanks

The Associated Press
Gas stations across France were reported to be running out of fuel on Sunday as strikes at refineries and oil depots threatened to cause widespread shortages.
A man fills containers with fuel at a gas station in Anglet, southwestern France, on Sunday. (Bob Edme/Associated Press) French drivers flocked to filling stations, worried about being able to fill up their cars.
One motorist said she drove 50 kilometres to Paris to buy fuel because all the filling stations close to her home near Fontainebleau had run dry.
The strikes are part of widespread protests against President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to raise the minimum retirement age from 60 to 62.
The possibility of a long-term fuel shortage appears to be the most concerning outcome of the protest movement.
All 12 of France's fuel-producing refineries have been hit by strikes that started on Tuesday and numerous fuel depots are blocked.
Dominique Bussereau told Europe-1 radio on Sunday that Paris's main airport is now "perfectly fed by a pipeline" after fuel began flowing again this weekend.
Unions have vowed to keep fighting against the reform that many people consider to be an attack on well-deserved social protections.
The government argues the changes are necessary to keep the pension coffers full and says people must work longer because they are living longer.
On Saturday, police estimated about 825,000 people marched in cities across France to protest the change.
A sixth round of nationwide protests is scheduled for Tuesday, a day before the Senate votes on the retirement reform, which must still return to both houses due to amendments tacked on during debates.

Worries ease over fuelling Charles de Gaulle airport
But France's transport minister insisted on Sunday that there were "no worries" about refuelling planes at Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport, despite aviation authorities being forced to order some planes to arrive with enough jet fuel to get back home.Dominique Bussereau told Europe-1 radio on Sunday that Paris's main airport is now "perfectly fed by a pipeline" after fuel began flowing again this weekend.

Super Typhoon Megi hits Philippines
linkThousands of people in the northern Philippines are seeking shelter as a super typhoon lashes the north with heavy rain, strong winds and high waves.
This NASA satellite image, taken and released on Sunday, shows Typhoon Megi, locally known as Juan, approaching the Philippines. (NASA/Reuters) Super Typhoon Megi had sustained winds of 225 km/h and gusts of 260 km/h as it made landfall at Palanan Bay in northeastern Isabela province.
"Thousand of homes were evacuated and even though the storm is weakening, it will continue to bring flooding rains and mudslides as it tracks west across land," said CBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe.
An official with the Cagayan provincial disaster agency said one man is believed to have drowned after he slipped into a river while trying to rescue his water buffalo. Two more people have been reported missing.
Many coastal areas were evacuated before the typhoon made landfall, but there is still great concern for public safety.
"If you have a landslide, and people have not evacuated on the ground, it can cost thousands of lives," said Richard Gordon, chairman of the Philippines Red Cross.
"That's why we are focusing the whole operation of the government and the Red Cross and other agencies — including local governments and the military — are all focused on trying to make sure minimal lives are lost in this typhoon," he said.
A state of emergency has been declared in at least one province as the storm tore the roof off houses, uprooted trees and blew down power lines.
Ships and fishing vessels were told to stay in ports, and several domestic flights also were cancelled.
Weather forecasts said the capital is expected to be spared a direct hit this time, although the lowest weather alert was in effect Monday with preschools closed.
Megi was the most powerful typhoon to hit the Philippines in four years, government forecasters said. A 2006 howler with 250 km/h winds set off mudslides that buried entire villages, killing about 1,000 people.
The storm is expected to move toward China, where authorities evacuated 100,000 people from a coastal province. It could also pass by Vietnam, where dozens of people have already died as a result of heavy flooding.
Twenty people are missing after a bus was swept away in central Vietnam on Monday, officials said, while another 17 managed to save themselves by swimming or clinging to nearby trees or power poles.

(Ho Cau/Vietnam News Agency/Associated Press) The bus, travelling from the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong to the capital, Hanoi, was yanked off the country's main corridor, Highway 1, said local official Nguyen Hien Luong, head of Nghi Xuan district in Ha Tinh province.
One woman survived by treading water against the current for about 3½ hours, but was forced to let go of her daughter due to exhaustion before rescuers reached her. The child remains missing.
Twenty-four others died from the flooding in Vietnam over the weekend, officials said.
"People are exhausted," Vietnamese disaster official Nguyen Ngoc Giai said by telephone from Quang Binh province. "Many people have not even returned to their flooded homes from previous flooding, while many others who returned home several days ago were forced to be evacuated again."
The typhoon was expected to enter the South China Sea on Tuesday, China's National Meteorological Center said.
The centre issued its second-highest alert for potential "wild winds and huge waves," warning vessels to take shelter and urging authorities to brace for emergencies.
Floods triggered by heavy rains forced nearly 140,000 people to evacuate from homes in the southern island province of Hainan, where heavy rains left thousands homeless over the weekend, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Monday.
Thailand also reported flooding that paralyzed parts of the country, submerging thousands of homes and vehicles and halting train service. No casualties were reported, but nearly 100 elephants were evacuated from a popular tourist attraction north of the capital.
