New Ocean-Mapping Satellite Primed for June Launch

Posted May 21, 2008 10:22 AM

From SPACE.com:

NASA and France are preparing to launch a new satellite next month to map Earth's rising sea levels and study their link to global climate change. The Jason 2 spacecraft is set to lift off atop a Delta 2 rocket on June 15 from Vandenberg Air Force in California on a joint mission to study the Earth's oceans and their currents. "Globally, on average, sea levels are rising," said Steven Neek of NASA's Science Mission Directorate at NASA's Washington, D.C., headquarters, in a Tuesday briefing.

"Global Warming" is not a hoax, it is a Conspiracy.

A Conspiracy to take the minds of people away from what is really happening.

In like manner to "The War against Terrorism", which also can never be won, and also takes the minds of people away from what is really happening.

So...What is really happening:

The Military, Politicians, International Bankers, and big business as a Joint Cartel, are taking away your rights, privacy, and family, bit by ever-increasing bit.

Take some time out to think about it, please.....While you are stupidly worrying about "Global Warming", using "eco-friendly energy", "rising sea levels", and the idiotic like, progress towards the most intensive dictatorship this world has ever seen, is just around the corner.

Anyway, if you analyse that rocket-launching, and all the effort and energy expended with a huge waste of energy, in getting that latest Military spy-in-the-sky satellite upwards, all into the form of more massive heating of the planet.

Kind Regards....
