The Viet Cong Strategy Against the United States Military

The Viet Cong Strategy Against the United States Military Photo by  Annie Spratt  on  Unsplash The Viet Cong had a well developed strategy which the world would see employed in the decades after the Viet Nam war in every major conflict. The Vietnamese had a long standing history of the French occupying Vietnam since the mid 1800s which helped the Vietnamese to get an understanding of guerrilla tactics which would become the key to beating the US in the 1960s. The Vietnamese honed their skills and developed their strategies and tactics over the decades prior to the Vietnam war against the French, culminating in the French defeat to the Viet Minh’s during the siege of Din Bin Phu. Din Bin Phu had been surrounded by the Viet Minh and it was attacked perpetually until the French finally surrendered. It was at Din Bin Phu that the Vietnamese had learned how they could take their small scale guerrilla forces and mass them up to perform a large operational group to strike at a superior force,

Feeling Doubtful about Greenhouse Gas Effects

 Feeling Doubtful about Greenhouse Gas Effects




Introduction

Climate change has been at the forefront of concern around the world for quite a few years now. We've seen the steady increase in greenhouse gasses since industrialization began and have been able to measure the effect industry has had on the atmosphere in detail since 1970. As the decades have worn on and the world gets more technological with an increase in industrial activity. It is noticed that there has been an increase in average temperature in the last century of about a full degree. This paper asserts that greenhouse gasses are not the primary factor in global warming, but that the warming is from a shifting of the electromagnetic poles in conjunction with a prolonged increase in solar activity which has weakened the atmosphere's ability to repel solar winds and radiation.

A degree in temperature doesn't seem like it should be much to worry about as many skeptics have pointed out, the earth goes through cooling and heating cycles all the time. It is considered normal based on the history we know of the earth. What is remarkable about this time period however, is that the earth warmed up a degree in about a hundred years. Normal cycles of heating have shown that the cycles have taken up to a thousand years to heat up, where we've seen the change occur within the span of a human lifetime. The speed of the increase is the disconcerting factor in this heating cycle.




Atmosphere

The earths atmosphere is made primarily of nitrogen and oxygen. Below is a breakdown of the gasses that can be found in our atmosphere followed by the same gas categories from 1970:

Today's Content

  • Nitrogen (N2): 78.08%
  • Oxygen (O2): 20.95%
  • Argon (Ar): 0.93%
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2): 0.04% (increasing due to human activities)
  • Methane (CH4): 0.0002% (increasing due to human activities)

1970s Content

  • Nitrogen (N2): 78.08% (no significant change)
  • Oxygen (O2): 20.95% (no significant change)
  • Argon (Ar): 0.93% (no significant change)
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2): 0.032% (lower than current levels)
  • Methane (CH4): 0.0001% (lower than current levels)

You'll notice that the Oxygen, Argon and Nitrogen are largely the same but take a look at the two gasses that are believed to be causing global warming and look at the percentage of atmosphere of each. You'll notice that both of these numbers are negligible in comparison to the other gasses that are in the atmosphere. 0.004% Carbon and 0.0001% Methane. Yes, these two gasses have risen slightly since 1970 but the amount is so small it leads one to question, 'are we attributing the correct cause to climate change?'

Alternatively, if we take a look at our neighboring planets that have high carbon content we can get a rough gauge as to what a high carbon content will have for an effect on the temperature of the environment. When we look at Venus, we can see that Venus' atmosphere is made primarily of carbon dioxide with a concentration of about 96.5% and the average temperature of Venus is 462°C. This is an amazingly hot planet which seems to confirm the fears of a carbon rich atmosphere but, when you look at another planet such as Mars which has a concentration of carbon around 95.3%, it's average temperature is a balmy -67°C.

Both atmosphere's are made primarily of Carbon. So, when looking at our neighboring planets, one has to wonder how much the concentration of carbon actually affects the temperature as both concentrations are about the same yet the variances in temperature are extreme.

The largest factor in environment temperature is how thick the atmosphere is. Venus has an extremely thick atmosphere and mars has an extremely thin atmosphere. The atmospheric thickness has many variables including the density of the planet, the electromagnetic field around earth, solar winds, the rate that vapor escapes the atmosphere, are all aspects that determine the thickness of the atmosphere.

When you look at earth right now our magnetic poles are getting ready to reverse themselves. They are about 5% weaker than they were back in 1970 and this has caused some extreme weather patterns to create some havoc. The Atlantic current is slowing down and could be stopped as early as a year from now in which case we could see a cooling of the north putting France and England into a perma-frost zone eventually and flipping the rainy season and dry season in the Amazon.

Coincidentally, the atmosphere is 3 to 4% thinner than it was back in 1970 and being that the electromagnetic field is one of the determinants for the atmospheric thickness it stands to reason that the thinner atmosphere is at least partially due to the weakened magnetic field.






Conclusion

When looking at the past when we've had a global heating cycle take hold that occurred at the same time as a pole shift we find the data to be inconsistent where not all of the pole shifts corresponded with a heating of the earth. When we factor in an increase in sunspots, solar winds, and solar radiation from an increasingly active sun there is a positive correlation of the heating periods during the magnetic pole switch occurring at the same time as the increased sun activity had occurred.

There were indeed magnetic pole switches which occurred where there was no increase in temperature but those periods did not have an increase in the suns activity at the same time. So when incorporating the increased sun activity one can see a positive correlation in all of the periods where there was an increase in global temperature.

It is therefore reasonable to assume that when the electromagnetic poles switch positions, that the atmosphere becomes thinner as a result of that switch and when that thinner atmosphere is exposed to an increase in solar activity it causes a heating of the earth. The increased sun activity causes solar winds to strip away more atmosphere and the solar radiation is able to beat down on the earth harder making it warmer. So, in essence the increased sun activity at the same time as the magnetic pole switch is the culprit for the temperature changes that we have seen.

This heating assertion is concluded because the negligible amounts of carbon and methane that are in the earth's atmosphere, dull in comparison to our neighboring planets who both have 95% carbon dioxide atmospheres but strangely have a variance in temperature range from 460 C to -67 C respectively, thus showing earths .004% of Carbon and 0.0001 % of methane are not the culprits for the heating phenomenon because the thickness of the atmosphere is what captures the heat.

What was really the historical cause of the war between Israel and Palestine?

 What was really the historical cause of the war between Israel and Palestine? Photo by  Fernández Salas | Unsplash The conflict started over 2000 years ago when the Romans invaded the Middle East and started enforcing their style of law on the people. It roots back to the days when Jesus was killed as the New Testament states that the Jews were chanting for the crucifixion of Jesus and the Romans were interested in keeping control but also of snuffing out some of the religious problems they were having as Jews advocated one God, and it caused a great deal of problems for the Roman religious system. After the death of Jesus, the Romans were in conflict with the Jewish people for another 150 years when they finally broke the resistance and disbanded the Jews, casting them out from the territory. It was this dispersion of people that would serve as a bit an anomaly in the typical conquered people’s history, as usually the people get absorbed into the other people that conquer because of

Why was the Fender Rose Wood Telecaster the only guitar George Harrison hated?

 Why was the Fender Rose Wood Telecaster the only guitar George Harrison hated? This indeed seems to be a question which has some irony built into it. George Harrison was given a Fender Rose Wood Telecaster in 1967 as a gift by Fender. His guitar would become iconic as it would make it’s way into the ‘Let it be’ video as well as it was used for their last public performance. So iconic is that guitar, that Fender decided to do a George Harrison Tele release and my good God is it a gorgeous guitar, yet; George only kept it for around a year as he would give it away in 1969. Ultimately the reason why he gave it away was because of the weight of the guitar. Being a solid body the guitar weighed a ton and he found it too much weight on the straps for it to be comfortable. The person that George gave the guitar to would hold onto it until 2 years after George’s death. His widow would buy the guitar for under a half million. Still, despite George only owning the guitar for a year it made its

If the Vietnam war began in 1955, does that mean it lasted 20 years, it ended in 1975?

  If the Vietnam war began in 1955, does that mean it lasted 20 years, it ended in 1975? Photo by  Sander Sammy  on  Unsplash No, the Vietnam War began in 1858 when the French first invaded the country. The war with the French then took a short break over 1941–1945 when Japan had invaded Vietnam and when Japan surrendered the territory went back to the French despite Ho Chi Minhs calls for support of Vietnam’s independence. As a result, in 1945 Ho Chi Minh created the Viet Minh which fought the French until the siege of 1954 when the French surrendered in Dien Bien Phu. Americans, had a fear of communism spreading due to the stupid ‘Domino theory’ which had absolutely no basis in fact and might as well been a joke card pulled from a crackerjack box. The Americans decided that with the French pulling out of Vietnam, then with Ho Chi Minh by this time firmly with the Communists, the US had felt it prudent to ensure that Vietnam did not turn to communism. Ultimately the US was scared spit
