COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES
You are probably aware by now that I owned the 72-foot Mary and fished crab 23 years catching over 3-million pounds of king crab and about the same amount of tanner or snow crab. I operated boats up to 130-feet in length. After accumulating more than 12,000 days of sea time in Alaskan waters and having to deal with nature and reality to overcome adversity in many situations where your life and the lives of our crew are in eminent danger it’s like staring directly into the face of God. I look like Father Time yet I don’t feel my age. At age 71, I plan to make at least 22 crossings of Cook Inlet next summer towing barges and to pick up salmon.
Having had to depend on my ability to navigate in zero visibility for weeks and months on end in rough weather using compass bearings, and sets of flashing numbers on a loran-C along with dim radar echoes off points of land 16 to 23 miles away to find strings of tiny crab pot buoys I consider myself a pretty good navigator.
After reading that our solar system it traveling toward Hercules at 19.5 kilometers per second I drew a line through a star chart from Hercules extending it out through the middle and it winds up in Orion. Orion has to be the birthplace of our sun.
Having read the Sirius Connection and other books by Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval and many others I came to the conclusion that some of the Egyptian hieroglyphics was translated wrong. Instead of Zep Tepi being the ‘first time’ it should read “In the beginning,” the first three word of the Bible.

Recently I read Lost Star by Walter Cruttenden and From Atlantis to the Sphinx by Colin Wilson (which was very good by the way). Most all the books on the history of ancient civilizations are speculation based on our modern perceptions of reality. None of them know that our sun was born in Orion and got captured by Sirius A and B because they don’t have my knowledge of navigation. They don’t realize that it was the intense UV light from Sirius B - 100 times greater than our sun that is responsible for most all the carbon energy on this planet. They try to attach some sort of religious significance to all of the extremely precise alignments of ancient monuments around the world. Come on guys! Ancient civilizations were much smarter than that. Due to various extinctions there is no linear evolution of civilizations. Some of them reached peaks of technology that rival what we have today.
Nobody seems to get that yet all the ancient monuments around the world aligned with Orion and Sirius were trying to pass down vital information that might save our hides in the future. Yet, we attach religious significance to everything they did. How stupid is that? Wake up guys! 
I started writing COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES after reading Scientific American magazine article on Antarctic Ice core graphs showing a regular drop in CO2 every 100,000 years or so. I called my friend Brad Guth in Seattle who was also reading the same article and he had already taken the next mental leap. He started looking around our sun for another source of light that could mop up CO2 with plant growth in the oceans. (The oceans cover 4/5ths of globe and its’ tie plankton and diatoms that mop up the CO2 and give us most of the oxygen we breathe. Trees and grass contribute a much smaller amount of oxygen to the environment.)
Brad discovered that our sun is traveling toward the 3.5 solar mass Sirius System of two stars at 7.5 kilometers per second and it is only 8 light years distant. He had already calculated the orbit period based on the gravity in that neighborhood. You got the 3-solar mass Procyon at 10.5 light years sort of in the same general direction and the galaxy gravity behind those stars transmitted from star to star in a big Fibonacci spiral the black hole in the center. Because of the galaxy gravity you have to multiply mass difference times four for Sirius and because Procyon is further away you have to cut that figure down by ¼. Being that the mass is the sun and planets is 2.0 e 30 and Sirius A and B 6.8 e 30 (3.5 solar mass) and Procyon 6 e 30 (3-solar mass) and you get about 20 to 25 times the gravity of our sun in that direction. We calculate the orbit period of our sun around Sirius to be over105,000-years which matches ICE Ages.
Sirius A puts our four times the visible light of our sun. Little Sirius B, the size of Earth but 1.5 solar masses puts out more than 100 times the invisible Ultraviolet Light as our Sun is responsible for creating coal layers 100-feet thick and limestone layers up to 12,500 feet thick and pools of oil made by diatoms in ancient shallow seas. When you are driving your car down the road and heating your home you are recycling energy that didn’t come from the sun. It came from the Sirius System.  
The Ice Age cycle began 2.5 million years ago. Before that time the average global temperature was 63 degrees F. We lost our tractor beam Sirius Ba and got blasted out of orbit 3-million years ago after the Barnard’s Loop explosion in Orion. We had 58 Ice Ages since that time. The first Ice Ages lasted only a few hundred years. It is a decaying elliptical orbit. Now we go out to 9 LY and Ice Ages last 105,000 years. The next one may last forever. It’s critical that we understand this. The book title is COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES.

FIXING THE ECONOMY...


Fixing the Economy

I can’t believe all the Harvard Economists and financial advisors in government can’t come up with a plan to stimulate the economy. Are they really that dumb? Never give rich bankers hundreds of billions of dollars and expect it to trickle down to the private sector. Rich people have hundreds of years of experience hiding money. I am convinced that they intentionally want to sabotage the economy.

The solution is we need more money at the bottom of the pyramid.

1.      If the government gave $300,000 (this is approximately the same amount they gave to the big banks) to everyone with a business license they would put the money in the small banks and there would be no banking crises.
2.      Under the fractional reserve system of banking the banks would loan out ten time that amount to loan out to people to expand their business and buy homes. People wouldn't be loosing their homes. There would be no housing crises.
3.      The businesses would hire more employees so there would be little or no unemployment. There would be no employment crises.
4.      Increased production of food and commodities would make everything more affordable for everyone. Our standard of living would go up. The economic crises would be gone.
5.      The government would get all the money back in two years with income taxes. The economy would boom. Instead the government has a 200-trillion debt obligation that can never be paid back. 

We have a foreign born president bought and paid for by George Soros and the Saudis. Instead of making life easier for people we are involved in several brush wars around the world to kill people and make arms manufacturers rich. 

Now the economy in shambles with the energy companies sucking the life blood out of everyone. Why are they doing this to us? Why are they intentionally reducing our standard of living to destroy this nation? What do they have planned for us? Is it the unification of this hemisphere under one currency?        Will it be the Amero? It didn't work in Europe with the Euro because of the crooks at the top who profit from manipulating the economies. 

Forty one nations have now abandoned the Federal Reserve and are printing their own money. It is time our Senators and congressmen grew a pair and voted to print treasury notes. When the Federal Reserve was adopted by our government in 1913 a clause was left in to buy them out for $500-million. Give them the money and start printing Treasury Notes...

WRONG EVOLUTIONARY PATH


                            CARBON ENERGY SCIENCE
©By Henry Kroll
                        From my book, COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES
            The bulk of the energy consumed on this planet is still generated by the burning of carbon. Where did all the carbon come from, you ask? 
            After our sun left its birthplace in Orion Earth and Mars went into the Huronian Glaciation where mile deep sheets of ice covered the single ocean and there was five-mile deep inc on the single continent known as Pangaea. All of the carbon at the core of the Earth came from the dust clouds in Orion. The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones and the other elements that make up our reality mostly came from Orion however some of it is space dust.
            At that time about 700-million years ago Earth had a high pressure carbon dioxide atmosphere of around 750 pounds per square inch. The atmosphere extended three thousand miles above the planet. There was no way for sunlight to get through such an atmosphere to make the plankton bloom in the oceans to release free oxygen. A billion years is a long time to drift in the cold of space. {SIRIUS A and little SIRIUS B below.}


              








































         {You got to understand that it's difficult to get good pictures of Sirius B because the light is invisible and glass lenses filter out UV.} 


Our solar  system eventually drifted between the the two giant stars Procyon and Sirius. These giant two-solar-mass, stars may have been swapped into out galaxy during one of many past galactic collisions. Sirius B used to be 6 solar masses before it became a white dwarf ejecting 3.5 solar masses of silicon and iron in the neighborhood. Earth collected a lot of that iron dust which bound up the free oxygen as soon as it was released by plants. We were much closer to Sirius A and little Sirius B and Sirius B with 1.5 solar masses (more gravity than our Sun) came around, grabbed hold of our Sun and put it into a nice tight orbit around Sirius A.


We became part of the Sirius System for the next 750-million years. Sirius B puts out more than 100 times the Ultraviolet Light of our sun in the invisible 350 to 400 nano meter wave length. Plants, however like this light. 


Sirius B is the only thing out there capable of penetrating a 3,000-mile deep atmosphere. The reason I wrote the huge book was to make people understand where coal, oil, gas and limestone come from. When you are driving down the road most of the energy that makes your car move came from Sirius B!
  
{You can read all about the history of Earth in my book, COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES.}


           Earth was half as big as it is today. There was one ocean and one continent. This CO2 atmosphere continuously being replenished by volcanoes but over time due to the yearly accretion of 40-thousand tons of space dust and expansion of the mid ocean volcanic rifts over hundreds of million years the Earth expanded to its present size. It was this process of expansion that the atmospheric pressure was reduced by half.
            The other half of Earth’s high pressure atmosphere was used up by photosynthesis and laid down as col, oil and limestone. Where did the 20.8 % oxygen atmosphere come from? During the 80-million year Carboniferous Age 400-million years ago the Sun was in a much closer orbit to another group of stars that increased the average Earth temperature to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. One of those stars puts out more than 100 times the ultraviolet light of our sun above the range of human sight. Earth had incoming ultraviolet light 24 hours a day. In a few short months diatoms filled up the oceans to depths of 30,000 feet deep or more. Diatoms have the ability to multiply eight times in 24 hours given enough CO2, warm temperatures and 24-hours of light.
Most people don’t know what diatoms are. They are the little calcium carbonate creatures they use to filter your drinking water and fill your cat litter box. They evolved different shapes to survive at different depths in the oceans to take advantage of the different wave lengths of UV light. Most large oil fields are ancient meteor impacts that fused the hydrogen in the water with the carbon to make hydrocarbons. If you were to read my book COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES you will discover that some other sources of oil is made from the subduction of continental plates that melt the limestone sheets which are composed of calcium carbonate. Then you have the shale oil which is still made of carbonate ocean sediments. 

    After John D. Rockefeller discovered oil on the beach in Quait in the 1920’s and his company Standard Oil started making billions, other government-subsidized companies like Sinclair Oil (sin clear) and Winsor Oil (now British Petroleum) got on the band wagon. That’s when we became energy slaves.
Practically every war since was fought over oil plus other resource like lithium or gold. Religion is just a cover. The reason they left FREEDOM OF RELIGION in the constitution in the first place was so they could pit one fanatical group against another. Wake up people!
 All wars are rich men wars. They manipulate nations to create wars to make them richer. They sell arms to both sides of the conflict. They have their banks loan money to both sides to buy the arms from their factories thereby putting both nations in debt. When the war is over they step in to rebuild pretending to be charitable good Samaritans but they take the gold oil and drugs as compensation. It’s known as the GOD trade.

STEELHEAD PLATFORM COOK INLET ALASKA


The reason I wrote COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES was to enlighten people as to where the energy came from that make their cars go down the road. By plotting our course through space I discovered the light source that created the coal, oil and limestone. It may be alright for humanity to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is plant food and CO2 is a trace gas amounting to only .033% of our atmosphere. It’s a trace gas necessary to feed people yet our government wants to use your tax dollars to pump it underground. You can’t grow food without it. Go figure! How dumb is that? Wake up people!
Ninety-eight percent of the atmosphere on this planet is gone. Originally when Earth came out of the billion-year Huronian Glaciation with a 750 PSI atmosphere. Now it is down to 14.5 PSI at sea level. 
We lost ½ the oxygen-producing plankton in the oceans. Two thirds of the oxygen-producing rain forests have been cut down and burned to make charcoal while the rich corporations want to keep us using up the oxygen by burning things forever.
Back in the 1950's our government created the mega farms to out-produce the Communists using fertilizer made from natural gas and mechanized agriculture that uses oil. Now most all our soil is depleted of minerals. Poor farming methods caused half our topsoil to blown away in the Dust Bowl washed down rivers into the oceans. Half the fish in the oceans  are gone. God gave us dominion over the planet. What’s he going to do when he comes back to find out what we have done?
Where do we go from here? Hundreds of millions of people died fighting over oil. Don’t forget our brave soldiers who so willingly gave their lives in these wars.  
Below is a picture of the Grayling platform blowout in Cook Inlet. The got the men off safely with a helicopter. By some miracle it never caught fire. It blew ocean water up over 1000 feet for an entire week then it subsided to about 500 feet above the rig for over a month. How much gas was wasted is anybody's guess--probably enough to light up New York City for a couple years.


Seemingly timed to coincide both with Earth Day and President Obama's proposed expansion of corporate access to U.S. waters for offshore oil drilling, the April 20 explosion of the Transocean oil rig Deepwater Horizon has exposed how risky offshore oil drilling can be, particularly in deep water in the absence of effective regulation. The sinking of the oil rig April 22 (Earth Day) led to the deaths of 11 oil rig workers – not the first BP safety violations – and could lead to the contamination of wide swaths of the Gulf Coast, or even, because of the loop current (map), large swaths of Florida, the Florida Keys and the entire East Coast.
Originally, authorities said the broken well was spilling 1,000 barrels a day. Then the Gulf oil spill was upgraded to 5,000 barrels a day. But independent scientists have said there could be 5-10 times as much oil spilling from the well, and BP's only successful attempt at mitigation is capturing just 1,000 barrels a day. The oil slick on the surface is bigger than Connecticut, but the spill at other depths is likely far larger, and threatens marine life throughout the ocean food chain. If independent estimates are correct, the spill is already larger than the Exxon Valdez. 

BP OIL SPILL
[The Exxon Valdez spill was 22 million gallons not 11.]


Usumacinta

Introduction
The Usumacinta is a mat-supported jack-up based on the Bethlehem JU-200-MC design. It was delivered in 1982 by Bethlehem Steel in Singapore and is currently owned by Perforadora Central of Mexico. In October 2007, the Usumacinta was contracted to drill at PEMEX's Kab-101 platform in the Bay of Campeche. The Kab-101 platform is a light production Sea Pony type platform, installed by PEMEX in 1994, which had two wells producing a daily output of around 5700 bbls oil and 700,000 cubic feet of natural gas. The Usumacinta was contracted to complete drilling work on a third well, named Kab-103, when it collided with the Kab-101 platform and ruptured the Kab-101's production tree.
Storm Collision
On Sunday, 21 October 2007, the Usumacinta was brought into position alongside the Kab-101 platform to finish drilling the Kab-103 well. By Tuesday, 23 October, a cold weather front passed through the Gulf of Mexico bringing storm winds of 130km/hr with waves of 6-8m. The adverse weather conditions caused oscillating movements of Usumacinta jack-up from around 1200 hours on the 23 October. These movements caused the cantilever deck of the Usumacinta to strike the top of the production valve tree on the Kab-101 platform, resulting in a leak of oil and gas. At 1420 hours, the subsurface safety valves of wells 101 and 121 were closed by PEMEX personnel, but the valves were unable to seal completely allowing the continued leaking of oil and gas. At around 1535 hours on 23 October, the 81 personnel on the Usumacinta were evacuated by lifeboat, with the ship Morrison Tide providing fire support. Rough seas hampered the rescue operation and appear to have caused the break-up of at least one liferaft.
Well control personnel were despatched to the Kab-101, with operations delayed by further bad weather and H2S release. Well control operations commenced with attempts to inject heavy mud followed by cement. Operations were again delayed on 13 November when a spark initiated by on-going work caused a fire to break out. The fire was extinguished the following day on 14 November at 2350 hours. A second fire broke out on 20 November, causing the collapse of the Usumacinta's derrick and major damage to the cantilever and connecting bridge. The fire was extinguished the same day with no injuries.
Several phases of work then commenced, including debris removal from the Usumacinta, the attachment of a valve for controlled flaring, the installation of a blow-out preventer and finally the shutting in of the well followed by killing with heavy mud and plugging with cement. By 17 December 2007, PEMEX reported complete control of the well.
