Global Grumbling Notes from George Ure's

Everything from people rebelling onboard a jetliner at Heathrow after a seven hour delay, to a gun battle on Miami's South Beach, to what? Killer cucumbers snuff 14?

14 dead in Germany as cucumber crisis grows

AFP – A slice of a German cucumber. Germany on Monday held crisis talks amid reports that at least 14 people have died..

Did I, or did I not tell you: World's in a terrible pickle?

Ifd you're looking for a place to sit out the next three or four years, as the collapse of complex societies gets really organized, we notice that Canada is #8 in this year's "Global Peace Index - interactive map here.

Iran came in at #119, Israel at #145, so that's simmering along with Mexico's slow-motion drugvolution landing our porous border pals at #121.

Japan is #3 in the Global Peace Index and sounds good on the surface, but the index isn't weighted for radiation, near as we could tell.

Our own U.S. came in at #82, peace-wise, with countries like Brazil (#74) and Argentina (#55) ahead of us.

Denmark is #4, so all the butter, hams, and pastries seem to make for a peaceful state. Colombia is down at #139, so too much coffee, perhaps.

New Zealand, is #2 peace-wise, so again, an ag rich country. And their survey this year picked Iceland as the #1 most peaceful place. Mighty fine evidence that a country can buck the global banking system and remain at peace. Now, if they could just work up some warm palm tree lined beaches...

Growing up in Oklahoma, I’m well acquainted with tornadoes. I’ve seen quite a number with my own eyes and experienced its roar when one flew over my house in the spring of 1970. The twister skipped to and fro throughout our northwest Oklahoma City neighborhood. Some good friends had their house completely destroyed while the houses next door and across the street completely missed the damage. The capaciousness of that storm is characteristic of many “rope-like” tornadoes. If you are going to be in the midst of such a frightening act of nature, I learned that’s the best kind. There’s a good chance to escape damage and especially death.

Folks in Joplin a couple of weeks ago were no so lucky. While May 21st was a much ballyhooed doomsday that failed to materialize, our friends in that southeastern Missouri town aren’t so sure it wasn’t a day of doom. Saturday May 21^st was devastating for most of their community. Viewers of the cable news networks have been stunned again and again observing the unbelievable destruction in the wake of this F5 “wedge-like” tornado packing winds in excess of 200 miles per hour. When you are in the path of a storm like this, that is “rain-wrapped” and a mile-wide, there is no escaping it. You probably can’t see it. The roar is so loud you feel surrounded and lose your sense of direction. You simply can’t avoid the coming storm. Read more: http://www.raidersnewsupdate.com/apoc1.htm

Hundreds of Rare Saiga Antelopes Found Dead

Kazakhstan

May 31, 2011 - 4:17am, by Joanna Lillis

Hundreds of endangered antelopes have been found dead in western Kazakhstan, dealing another blow to conservation efforts to save these long-nosed creatures, Kazakhstan Today

reports.

A total of 442 saigas – a distinctive creature with a long, humped nose that allows it to filter air during the dusty summer months and breathe warm air during the freezing winters – have been found dead, West Kazakhstan Region Governor Baktykozha Izmukhambetov told a cabinet meeting on May 31.

He said the deaths of 360 does and 82 calves may have been caused by an outbreak of pasteurellosis, a disease that attacks the lungs and which killed nearly 12,000 saigas in an epidemiclast year. Scientists are also investigating whether “some sort of poisoning from the flora, which is to say from the grass, is taking place,” the governor added.

The saiga, which roams in remote areas of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia and Russia, is listed as Critically Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.

The World Wildlife Fund identifies loss of habitat and poaching as threats to its existence: The horn of the male saiga is prized in Chinese medicine for use as a painkiller and antibiotic, creating a thriving and illegal trade.

Kazakhstan has the largest numbers of saigas in the world, but a population which numbered over a million in the 1970s has been decimated, and last year officials estimated it at 85,000.

The Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative, a partnership between the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan, the UK’s Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the Frankfurt Zoological Society, says that more than 5.2 million hectares of land has already been legally protected in Kazakhstan to provide safe areas for the animals to roam.

FEMA in the flood insurance business in Florida now

Just received our FLOOD INSURANCE premium bill ... it is now coming from FEMA, instead of the former carrier!

So looks like they're going to be getting some more money from us.... I bet rates will go up and up.. and what can we do about it? We are not allowed to NOT have this flood insurance per mortgage holders.
