Nobody knows anything which may not be a bad start.

From the real trenches:
I'm a private practice business attorney with over a decade of experience. I know a number of government employed workers who make more than the guys at my firm. Think about that. We are the guys serving and guiding private businesses that pay taxes, but the government attorneys (who exist to stifle business) make more money than we do helping the businesses to expand and pay more taxes.
The tax situation in this country, and the government worker pay/benefit problem has reached crisis proportions.
I'm also an engineer. I'm not practicing engineering BECAUSE of the H1B BS. It's utterly destroyed that line of work.
You see, in the late 1990s, the banks had a pesky little problem -- the tech workers were getting so rich and powerful that they didn't need to be indebted to the banks for things like credit cards and mortgages. This could not be allowed to continue. The techies were also gaining political prominence, again, a state of affairs that could not be tolerated.
The techies were also gaining political prominence, again, a state of affairs that could not be tolerated.
There was a lot of libertarian talk going around. Questioning the size of America's political class and the need for an American empire.
As you can see that was resolved to protect jagged pills who will take you out. The toxin indeed infected the brains for the polo tics.

Liberation Theology's per se again and some are waking up to the reality of so called energy market funding's.
As noted why and who is indeed a problem.

On the other hand, ones paint brush can color some things in many hues to whom decides what and why.

The whole region has gone full tinder box retard it appears since the morons are chopping heads and laying waste to any thing
they please.

The genetic markers would sort out the current stupid but who cares about facts. The political climate is toxic but we know that here.
The French guy in the clip explains the current poli-tic take over climate.

Mitochondrial Haplogroups
Haplogroups are labeled alphabetically. Today, anthropologists have identified certain haplogroups that originated in Africa, Europe, Asia, the islands of the Pacific, the Americas, and sometimes particular ethnic groups. Of course, haplogroups that are specific to one region are sometimes found in another, but this is due to more recent migration.

Haplogroup A is found mainly in Southern Africa and represents the oldest Y-chromosome haplogroup. It is believed to be the haplogroup of Y-chromosomal Adam.
Haplogroup E1b1a is predominantly found among sub-Sahara African populations.
Haplogroup E1b1b is predominantly found around the coast of the Mediterranean.
Haplogroup G has an overall low frequency in most populations and is found widely distributed in Europe, northern and western Asia, northern Africa, the Middle East and India.
Haplogroup J and its subgroups are predominantly found around the coast of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Subgroups are frequently associated with Jewish populations.

Since the OTHER "more a few other suspected" bottle neck event in history has been noted also.

Paper has just been published in Genome Research on 456 full sequence Y-chromosomes from around the world. The authors date the MRCA of Y-chromosomes ("Y chromosome Adam") to 254 (95% CI 192–307) kya, find coalescences of major non-African haplogroups to 47–52 kya (which clearly corresponds to the Upper Paleolithic revolution), but also infer a second bottleneck that occurred in the last 10 thousand years.

Anyways other facts remain also http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2386827/

Also patterns exist http://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/ar ... 2164-9-198

meanwhile The Y chromosome and the mitochondrial genome have been used to estimate when the common patrilineal and matrilineal ancestors of humans lived. We sequenced the genomes of 69 males from nine populations, including two in which we find basal branches of the Y-chromosome tree. We identify ancient phylogenetic structure within African haplogroups and resolve a long-standing ambiguity deep within the tree. Applying equivalent methodologies to the Y chromosome and the mitochondrial genome, we estimate the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of the Y chromosome to be 120 to 156 thousand years and the mitochondrial genome TMRCA to be 99 to 148 thousand years. Our findings suggest that, contrary to previous claims, male lineages do not coalesce significantly more recently than female lineages.

The point also remains clear the mapping is time segments to axis tilt survival movements also.
The earth wobbles in space so that its tilt changes between about 22 and 25 degrees on a cycle of about 41,000 years. It is the cool summers which are thought to allow snow and ice to last from year to year in high latitudes, eventually building up into massive ice sheets. There are positive feedbacks in the climate system as well, because an earth covered with more snow reflects more of the sun's energy into space, causing additional cooling. In addition, it appears that the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere falls as ice sheets grow, also adding to the cooling of the climate.

The earth's orbit around the sun is not quite circular, which means that the earth is slightly closer to the sun at some times of the year than others. The closest approach of the earth to the sun is called perihelion, and it now occurs in January, making northern hemisphere winters slightly milder. This change in timing of perihelion is known as the precession of the equinoxes, and occurs on a period of 22,000 years. 11,000 years ago, perihelion occurred in July, making the seasons more severe than today. The "roundness", or eccentricity, of the earth's orbit varies on cycles of 100,000 and 400,000 years, and this affects how important the timing of perihelion is to the strength of the seasons. The combination of the 41,000 year tilt cycle and the 22,000 year precession cycles, plus the smaller eccentricity signal, affect the relative severity of summer and winter, and are thought to control the growth and retreat of ice sheets. Cool summers in the northern hemisphere, where most of the earth's land mass is located, appear to allow snow and ice to persist to the next winter, allowing the development of large ice sheets over hundreds to thousands of years. Conversely, warmer summers shrink ice sheets by melting more ice than the amount accumulating during the winter.

What is The Milankovitch Theory? The Milankovitch or astronomical theory of climate change is an explanation for changes in the seasons which result from changes in the earth's orbit around the sun. The theory is named for Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch, who calculated the slow changes in the earth's orbit by careful measurements of the position of the stars, and through equations using the gravitational pull of other planets and stars. He determined that the earth "wobbles" in its orbit. The earth's "tilt" is what causes seasons, and changes in the tilt of the earth change the strength of the seasons. The seasons can also be accentuated or modified by the eccentricity (degree of roundness) of the orbital path around the sun, and the precession effect, the position of the solstices in the annual orbit.
What does The Milankovitch Theory say about future climate change?
Orbital changes occur over thousands of years, and the climate system may also take thousands of years to respond to orbital forcing. Theory suggests that the primary driver of ice ages is the total summer radiation received in northern latitude zones where major ice sheets have formed in the past, near 65 degrees north. Past ice ages correlate well to 65N summer insolation (Imbrie 1982). Astronomical calculations show that 65N summer insolation should increase gradually over the next 25,000 years, and that no 65N summer insolation declines sufficient to cause an ice age are expected in the next 50,000 - 100,000 years ( Hollan 2000, Berger 2002).

Also point blank the Phytoplankton -- which form the base of ocean food chains -- have declined 40 percent since 1950.
The trend is linked to warming of the surface of the oceans.
The die-off could affect climate, fisheries and ocean health.
In oceans around the world, there has been a surprisingly large and extensive decline in phytoplankton -- the tiny algae that keep marine food webs afloat.
The drifting green flecks have been dying off for at least a century, with a staggering 40 percent decline since 1950, according to a new study.
Phytoplankton make up half of all plant matter around the globe, said marine ecologist Daniel Boyce, whose study appears this week in the journal Nature. Its disappearance threatens the stability of climate, the well-being of fisheries and the overall health of the oceans.
"It's hard to really imagine phytoplankton could be so important because most people don't see them in their daily lives. They're microscopic and they live out at sea," said Boyce, of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. "But everything that happens to them affects the entire marine food chain, including us."

The results of much lower Money Velocity stands as screaming evidence of failure in monetary policy. The moribund activity means capital is being ruined, not functioning, not producing the wanted output. The slower turnover in the USEconomy is not from hoarding of cash. The participants are suffering a shortage of money, often struggling to survive. Putting money in mattresses is an absurd concept when struggling to pay the rent and buy the food and pay the utilities. The beneficiaries of the easy money are the big US banks. They are also suffering a shortage of money, since the derivative holes are acting like sewers to drain their capital. Their capital ratios are not good, and the harsher Basel III rules have been delayed. No cash hoarding evident anywhere.

The result has been a systematic assault on capital. The USEconomy has entered a feedback loop of capital destruction, job cuts, and reduced activity. It cannot be stopped.

Government debt is projected to reach 77 percent of the US gross domestic product by 2024, if not sooner. Economists have identified that level of debt as counterproductive, yet this sad state of affairs is the result of a growing bipartisan propensity to spend, as a worrying trend has emerged: high levels of spending under Republican administrations have become institutionalized in Democratic ones.

I would just tell you a little of my background this last year in 2015 I spent my time in 21 different states,” Coburn told the committee. “And America doesn’t trust you anymore. That’s the truth. Because they don’t see the actions coming out of Congress that should be coming out.”

“And that doesn’t mean that they’re right all the time, but you’ve lost their confidence,” he said. “And that’s not one party, that’s both. And so when you have hundreds of billions of dollars that could be saved and aren’t, and they know it. You know, they actually read your reports. People online, and then they use social media, pass it around.”

Most analysts have since suggested that the Saudi royals simply considered punishing Iran more important than lowering oil prices. No matter the cost to them, in other words, they could not bring themselves to help Iran pursue its geopolitical objectives, including giving yet more support to Shiite forces in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon. Already feeling pressured by Tehran and ever less confident of Washington’s support, they were ready to use any means available to weaken the Iranians, whatever the danger to themselves.

anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. it thus exemplifies the purpose behind the bill of rights, and of the first amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation-- and their ideas from suppression-- at the hand of an intolerant society.

the right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. but political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse.

though often maligned (typically by those frustrated by an inability to engage in ad hominem attacks) anonymous speech has a long and storied history in the united states. used by the likes of mark twain (aka samuel langhorne clemens) to criticize common ignorance, and perhaps most famously by alexander hamilton, james madison and john jay (aka publius) to write the federalist papers, we think ourselves in good company in using one or another nom de plume. particularly in light of an emerging trend against vocalizing public dissent in the united states, we believe in the critical importance of anonymity and its role in dissident speech. like the economist magazine, we also believe that keeping authorship anonymous moves the focus of discussion to the content of speech and away from the speaker- as it should be. we believe not only that you should be comfortable with anonymous speech in such an environment, but that you should be suspicious of any speech that isn't.

It doesn't take him very long to become incoherent. He keeps talking as if this is an agricultural civilization, like Rome. He should be standing outside a FoxConn factory or a Wal-Mart to make his point. The people who were dispossessed of their land during the Roman collapse are comparable to the people who have been dispossessed of main street businesses and middle class factory jobs during this one. Agriculture is only 2-3% of the modern economy and the reduction of agricultural employment and the green revolution were a great boon for the agricultural populations who left the land for good paying jobs in the cities. Today's periphery is anything that is far from Washington, Brussels, London, etc., or a US state capital. Even Detroit would qualify as part of the periphery. He could stand outside of the old Packard plant in Detroit to make his point.

Rich Flee "Crime Infested Hell Hole" Chicago Amid Racial Strife, Civil Unrest

The city is well on its way to joining the likes of Detroit, and there may be no escaping that eventuality. That’s why many of the city’s wealthy elites are getting the hell out of there.

The Chicago Tribune reports that roughly 3,000 millionaires have left the city over the past year alone, which amounts to about 2 percent of their wealthy population.

This is the largest exodus of wealthy people in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. Paris and Rome are the only cities that lost more millionaires than Chicago in the same time period.

When asked about why they were leaving Chicago, most of these millionaires cited racial tension and rising crime rates.
