   Since they include galactic cosmic ray flux/ sunspots in their long term projections, I’d expect the Almanac to be expecting cold which is a no-brainer just based on it being the year following an El Nino, which is usually colder even if a La Nina doesn’t materialize.

   Anybody know a foreign policy expert or military strategic analyst? Anybody have good Intel?
   Everyday we are doing more and more saber rattling at Russia and vise versa. KGB Putin is making his move in Syria and various other places similutaneously and telling every Russian in the Motherland to know precisely where the nearest neighborhood bomb shelters are. Fire drills? Crying wolf? Tail that wags the dog? He sure is sending some messages. So are we. Tit for tat or prelude to bringing out the Ugly Stick of War. Great news for the international bankers for sure. War means obscene profits for the financiers. Not so good for our sons and daughters.
   Hillary’s Syrian plan is to create a No Fly Zone(per the debates). Yo Hillary, Russia finally has brought in their new secret anti-aircraft batteries. Has new radar jamming capabilities as well. We never have seen this new generation in action. Did Putin play into our hands and bring his new toys out so we can get a good look at them? Are we willing to get our planes shot down over Syria to enforce a no fly zone? Are we willing to shoot down Syrian, Russian, or Iranian jet fighters over Syria?? What’s the game plan?
   This game makes me nervous. World War 1 started over a lot of gamesmanship and words and BS and involved no real major powers….at the beginning. So, there is precedent in this “modern era”. 10s of millions of British, French, and German soldiers were used as cannon fodder for the generals playing games safely behind protective lines. Never say never. It can happen again. Maybe just a 100,000 killed here and there, just a “limited war”. What if it gets out of hand? Another Gettysburg? Another World War 1?
   I only have had one WTF moment over this. People where saying what the heck is Putin doing in Aleppo?? Look at those civilian casualties. What about the children? He bombed a hospital! What’s going on??
   Hey idiots, the Russians are going full fury to wipe out the rebels and destroy the rebels’ last and biggest stronghold. Screw the civilians and get ‘er done. Make quick work of it and complete the job now while the Americans are trying to hump the football and go running off to the UN to whine about it. That is how the Russians fight.. Remember they lost 400,000 men just fighting in the rubble around Berlin and spared no civilians in their path. Why are the Russians pounding Aleppo neighborhoods? To win it all before Hillary implements her no fly zone, lol.
   We can hear the drums of war. We know that sound, heard it before.

   Rigged Debates: Wikileaks Emails Confirm Media in Clinton’s Pocket
   Clinton’s people asked for all sorts of special treatment from the DNC and the press—and they got it

   Poor Bernie Bros……..you should have held your own convention…..! Of course your champion couldn’t fold fast enough after……but he did get some air time…..there’s always that!

   fish 746am – Mr fish, it is curious that you posted (buried?) this comment about the left-biased media in a stale sandbox. A more visible venue would have been under the most recent post ‘Our Pernicious Progressive Press’, or at least the current sandbox.
