Libya’s Qaddafi taps ‘fossil water’ to irrigate desert farms

Sarah A. Topol, Correspondent / August 23, 2010

Libya’s Qaddafi taps ‘fossil water’ to irrigate desert farms While many countries in the Middle East and North Africa bicker over water rights, Libya has tapped into an aquifer of ‘fossil water’ to change its topography – turning sand into soil. The 26-year, $20 billion project is nearly finished.

Topol, Correspondent / August 23, 2010 Tripoli, Libya In the middle of the Libyan Desert’s scorched yellow sands, rows of green grapes dangle off vines; almond trees blossom in neat lines, and pear tree orchards stretch into the distance.

Libya is one of the driest countries on Earth, bereft of rivers, lakes, and rain. But here the desert is blooming. In the Middle East and North Africa, the quest to turn thousands of miles of desert into arable land has taken a backseat to containing an impending water shortage. While many countries in the region bicker over water rights, Libya has taken it upon itself to change its topography – turning sand into soil.

The Great Man-Made River, which is leader Muammar Qaddafi’s ambitious answer to the country’s water problems, irrigates Libya’s large desert farms. The 2,333-mile network of pipes ferry water from four major underground aquifers in southern Libya to the northern population centers. Wells punctuate the water’s path, allowing farmers to utilize the water network in their fields. The Libyan government says the 26-year project has cost $19.58 billion.

Nearing completion, the Great Man-Made River is the largest irrigation project in the world and the government says it intends to use it to develop 160,000 hectares (395,000 acres) of farmland. It is also the cheapest available option to irrigate fields in the water-scarce country, which has an average annual rainfall of about one inch. “Rainfall is just concentrated in 5 percent of the [country’s] area, so more or less, 95 percent or 90 percent of our land is desert,” says Abdul Magid al-Kaot, minister of agriculture, during a PowerPoint presentation that accompanied a recent several-hour government tour of the project and farms outside the capital of Tripoli. “Water is more precious for us than oil. … Water here in Libya, it’s life.” Taping into ‘fossil water’ Just as Libya mines the desert for crude; they are doing the same for ‘fossil water’ – ice age water preserved in the porous holes of the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer.

The massive aquifer stretches under Libya, Egypt, Chad, and Sudan. It includes four freshwater basins inside Libya that contain approximately 10,000 to 12,000 cubic kilometers (480 cubic miles) of ancient water buried as deep as 600 meters (2,000 feet) below the surface of the desert, reporters were told during the government presentation.

Libyan War Is For Water – NOT Oil – Largest Fossil Water Reserve Libya and Egypt sit on a resource more valuable than oil, in that part of the world . . The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer , is a sea of fresh water , that has an invaluable value , on a continet as Africa . Gaddafi used much of the funds generated from oil to build the ” Great Man Made River Project ” ( GMMRP ) .

The 4,000 Km long water pipeline barried underneath the desert . $ 25 Billion has already been invested into this project, and not one penny has came from the IMF or the World Bank. In other words Gaddafi didnt allow his people to fall into debt, from there would be no way out and Guess who didnt like that ? Scientist estimate that there is an equivalant of 200 – 1,000 years of fresh water flowing down the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer . This Pipeline and Aquifer has been owned by the libyan people and not by Veolia , Suez Ondeo or Saur , the French companies who control more than 40% of the worlds water market .

Remember Which Country Was The Fastest to Attack Libya? Just Pure Evil and Greed. Thanks Special thanks to TracyColorado’s channel and ducklamb1’s channel for posting this!

Pakistani Kids Play, “Suicide Bomber”
What can you say? Our world has come to this. Our people are losing their connection to one another. Our souls are being attacked with violence and the acceptance of it as a norm. Our children are living out the worldwide insanity that plagues the human race. It doesn’t matter who kills whom, to kill another is to kill oneself. We are all losing lifeforce.

Pakistani Kids Play, "Suicide Bomber"

Run for cover!!! It's a Cat 1 Hurricane!!

I waited to do any posting on the so called “Hurricane” of historical proportions till today. Just so I could be in line with the actuality of the situation. Can you believe it?? All that hype about what? Folks call me a conspiracy theorist, but when stuff is blatant and in your face you cannot avoid seeing it.

I live in an area where a thunderstorm does to our neighborhood and surrounding area what this Hurricane was supposed to do. In fact, it is expected that there would be downed trees, outages and water damage if not flooding after a severe storm. We have had over seven days of rain, sometimes several times a day over the past week…. Soooooooooo

Below is a nice video that hits the nail on the head!!!

Hurricane Hype Irene 2011 vs Hurricane Earl 2010
Yes Hurricane Earl hit less than a year ago in 2010 I know the media SAID a hurricane has not hit the US since 2008 but that’s the mass media. They lie.

My grandmother sent me hurricane pictures from Cape Hatteras Island which sat in the middle of the super hyped hurricane. Basically there was nothing. Not even motel units sitting right on the beach were damaged.
Now compare that to Earl Last year which hit the same place last year Sep 3, 2010 which the media likes to pretend didn’t happen. Hurricane Earl was reported on this website. You see what makes a hurricane news is whether or not it is a good distraction or not.

Here is Irene AKA “Not Gaddafi which was World News And next was Hurricane Earl which none of you ever heard of unless you were hit by it.

Irene

HURRICANE EARL Buxton North Carolina the exact same place.

Earl

Earl completely flooded the roads and motels. Did Earl get nation attention? NO. Earl was erased from meory they would not even report of it after the fact. This is EVERY mass media outlet. THIS is how piss poor their research is. They don’t even bother. They all just repeat one another. I saw the Huffington post with the same bogus reporting, repeating the MSM. They all lie, be it on purpose or out of ignorance. Do not assume that because “everyone” is saying something that it must be true. Everyone is NOT saying something they are all just copying one another and creating a lemming effect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pccwmrR1drs

They need to give it up already. They would not even acknowledge the hurricane from less than a year ago existed. And the people on tiny little islands getting hit not only with wind and rain but the fucking ocean as well, survive just fine zero deaths. but when the tropical storm hits the cities 15 people die. From the hurricane no from not having electricity, they dont know how to live without it for even a day and work the Darwin magic. yet look http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne … coast.html Earl a CAT4 hit but see it didn’t hit New York so it didn’t count. It also didn’t do anything showing that even in a Cat4 nothing terrible has to happen so long as people aren’t paniced morons about it. But the media sells fear. thus they skip this Cat 4 and hyped up a cat1 likeit as dooms day. And MSNBC reported on Earl which had 105 mile and hour wins and landed as a CAT2 then less than a year later act like there was no hurricane, after all it didn’t hit “New York”

Keith’s Special Comment: The Four Great Hypocrisies of the Debt Deal

The US debt ceiling deal

The US debt ceiling deal by Patrick Martin


1 August 2011

President Barack Obama made a brief White House appearance Sunday night to announce that an agreement had been reached with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders to raise the federal debt ceiling before Tuesday’s deadline set by the Treasury. Speaking in advance of the opening of financial markets in Asia, Obama thanked “the leaders of both parties” and said the deal would “allow us to avoid default.”

The agreement, which must still be voted on by the Senate and the House of Representatives, imposes unprecedented cuts on domestic social spending without a single dollar of increased taxes on the wealthy.

It calls for raising the debt limit by $2.7 trillion in two stages, $1 trillion immediately and $1.7 trillion in four months. The increase in the debt ceiling will be matched dollar-for-dollar by cuts in spending over the next ten years, as demanded by Boehner, the top congressional Republican. Reid admitted that the deal would “give the Republicans everything they’ve asked for.”

The first $1 trillion will comprise spending cuts already agreed upon in bipartisan talks headed by Vice President Joseph Biden, mainly in non-entitlement domestic programs including education, housing, transportation and the environment. The immediate effect of these cuts will be substantial—$25 billion in fiscal year 2012, which begins October 1, and $47 billion in fiscal year 2013—and escalating thereafter.

A new 12-member House-Senate committee, consisting of three Democrats and three Republicans from each body, will have until Thanksgiving to identify an additional $1.7 trillion to $1.8 trillion in spending cuts, including entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Theoretically, the committee could also mandate an end to certain tax breaks to increase government revenues, but Republican leaders are on record opposing even token tax increases on the wealthy, and Obama and the congressional Democratic leadership have dropped their previous demand that any deficit reduction package include some tax increases.

Raising the debt ceiling: The government asks for more crack

Recently there has been talk in the news to raise the current Federal Governments debt ceiling above $14.29 trillion dollars. The argument is that if we don’t raise the debt ceiling the US will be forced to default on its debts. They say that they will be unable to pay their debts and if that happens the United States will lose its creditability and no one, private individuals or other nations, will loan to our government and that will cause a dollar crises.

What’s the problem with this stated dilemma? First of all it very clearly implies that if we don’t go deeper into debt that we will be unable to pay our debt. Why don’t the politicians in support of raising the limit state it as clearly as that? Why it’s for the very same reason they use fraises like QE1 and QE2. If they were to directly say “We must continue borrowing in order to pay our debt on what we have already borrowed” I think then more people’s mouths would drop to the floor in total shock of the audacity. Who in the world can believe it?
Imagine, you personally run yourself into debt, you then go and ask your bank for a loan to pay your debt, but you don’t just pay your debt you buy other things and give some money away. Now you find yourself even deeper in debt so you call up your credit card company and ask them to raise your credit limit. You then reach your credit limit and need to take out another loan to pay back your minimum payments. How long do you think you could continue doing this? I think YOU would get as far, in this scenario, as calling your credit card company to raise your limit before they laugh you off the phone. Well your Government has been doing this very thing for over 30 years, only no one is laughing.

They say there would be a dollar crises, but in fact it’s very clear that there already is one. Our current debt is $14 trillion dollars. We are quickly reaching the ceiling of $14.29 trillion within a few months. If they haven’t been able to manage the debt by the time they reached 10 trillion what in the world would make you think they will somehow find the wisdom to manage it now? The reality is that the total real debt has already passed this limit when you include state and local debt. That takes the total debt to $16.85 trillion. The arbitrary mark has already been passed. Simply paying the interest on such a crushing debt is impossible without continued borrowing and money printing. The government is like and alcoholic or crack addict that has reached a critical point in his addiction. He needs more and more now just to stay alive and if he stops he will die. The question is, once you reach that point are you really alive? The truth is the dollar is already dead. They can shoot up a few more times but the damage has already been done.

Nana’s Comments:

I believe that they are pushing the people to mass hysteria by this and many other tactics, 911 for example. Once the people are pushed so hard, and they begin to fight back, they will have reason for martial law. Remember many of the weapons used against the masses around the world were made in the USA.
It boggles the mind that the wealthy do not want to have an increase in taxes, but would rather imposed draconian decreases in the social services needed most by the masses, who far outnumber the rich elitists. It appears to be a serious disconnect between what is happening on the ground and what is happening in their ivory towers.

The wealth will not trickle down and will remain out of the reach of those who most need it. Our society is like a runaway locomotive, with no one at the helm to forestall the coming disaster. But with disasters being the driving force behind the elite’s prerequisite desire to remain elites, surely they are devising plans that will secure them in any situation, no matter how dire to the masses. They make sure they are protected by their own guards – and out of the reach of any disaster that may befall the rest of us.

Unfortunately, the American citizen continues to believe that a corrupt system that started on the backs and deaths of millions of Indigenous peoples and kidnapped Africans can be changed by creating a “New Party” to jockey with the existing ones. If this happened, eventually this “New Party” too, will become corrupt.

A system or mass movement that demands the governments take care of them is doomed to remain the slaves they were before the movement. That type of system is the design of slave owners for their property, the slaves.

STAGED HYSTERIA

It’s all a holographic game designed to keep the populace in the Matrix of survival and submission to their overlords. It matters not what color, race or ethnicity they are. Once they have become part of the clan of destruction, they will do the exact same thing that was done to the populace throughout the history of their fore-fathers and ours. Because this miserable way of governing a people has continued for so long, and there has been no obvious cure, except for a few rebellions along the way; the cancer persists and the only solution is the complete destruction of all the cancerous cells.

Many cries for change are like chemo-therapy. But they not only ARREST the cancer cells, they kill the host immune system, weakening it and thus subjecting it to the tyranny of the disease it wanted to be rid of. Governments throughout the world have become this cancer. They are here because the populace offers these cancerous cells a perfect place for them to reside; in the body politic. You cannot kill the cancer cells, but you can stop the feeding, cut off their nourishment; eventually they will die off

If this happened, eventually this “New Party” too, will become corrupt.

A system or mass movement that demands the governments take care of them is doomed to remain the slaves they were before the movement. That type of system is the design of slave owners for their property, the slaves.

STAGED HYSTERIA

It’s all a holographic game designed to keep the populace in the Matrix of survival and submission to their overlords. It matters not what color, race or ethnicity they are. Once they have become part of the clan of destruction, they will do the exact same thing that was done to the populace throughout the history of their fore-fathers and ours. Because this miserable way of governing a people has continued for so long, and there has been no obvious cure, except for a few rebellions along the way; the cancer persists and the only solution is the complete destruction of all the cancerous cells.

Many cries for change are like chemo-therapy. But they not only ARREST the cancer cells, they kill the host immune system, weakening it and thus subjecting it to the tyranny of the disease it wanted to be rid of. Governments throughout the world have become this cancer. They are here because the populace offers these cancerous cells a perfect place for them to reside; in the body politic. You cannot kill the cancer cells, but you can stop the feeding, cut off their nourishment; eventually they will die off

William Kamkwamba recounts his mission to overcome famine and poverty in his village by building a windmill from a picture in a library book.

Great Story about Mr. Kamkwamba and an example of capitalism at work but look how John Leibowitz uses it to turn it against America. First he doesn’t even acknowledge the fact that the library William has spent so much time in was built by the US. A great example of our free market economic system creating enough wealth to give back to other countries in need. How many other countries can say that? Also notice how the statist(Stewart) asks William about the differences between our countries “Was the Excess Shocking?” Like we have too much so we should feel guilty. We should be proud of being the economic envy of the world. Its not by accident, it was designed that way in our constitution. The wealth in our country is here because of our freedom, no coincidence. And because of it, an African boy can use the books the US has bought for him, to build a windmill, to catch the eye of US reporters, so he can sign a book deal, to get out of his famished village, to eventually go to school in an American University. It’s a total Rags to Riches story that only could take place because of the United States of America, Let Freedom Ring!!

One thing that remains true is the short memories of Americans. You left out, the theft of a land that initially was inhabited by the indigenous people who were here “BEFORE COLUMBUS”, and you missed the fact that the land had deep reservoirs of gold and precious metals that were extrapolated, and stolen and sold. Making European Countries rich, particularly those that sent expeditions to the so-called “New World”. You also forgot to mention that a huge part of America’s wealth came from 300 years of free labor by enslaved Africans, who were never repaid for their work. Enslaved Africans build the foundation of America, working in every aspect of the American workforce, at ridiculous wages  from “see to can’t see”. You also did not mention the “Gold Rush” also another raping of land in the West that was previously inhabited by indigenous folks. And several other things like the Federal Reserve, Corporatacracy, Free Trade, Arms & Drugs trades to cover the cost of Wars, War economy, and exploitation of the natural resources right here in America. So in that vain, America is an example of how Imperialism, Colonialism, and runaway Capitalism can make any country very rich. It can set up elite banksters who care not about the people they rob but only the robbers whom they give huge bonuses and bailouts. I suggest you study the true history of America and its economic exploits here and around the world. Read – “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” by John Perkins and then dust off your made in a Chinese sweatshop sneakers. And let me add, FYI, the constitution was not written for Africans, Native Americans, or Women. It was written by an elite group of European bred White males. So yeah, until reparations are made to those who were exploited in their plans of Manifest Destiny, America really does not have anything to be proud of, while standing on the backs of those they oppressed.

Steak Made from Human Excrement: Is It Safe?

The grossest potential solution to the global food crisis: poop meat.
The mere idea is stomach-churning: creating food from human feces.

But researchers in Japan say they have done just that. They have synthesized meat from proteins found in human waste, according to news reports.

While the concept of chowing down on steak derived from poop may not exactly be appetizing, we wondered: is this meat safe?

In theory, yes, experts say. But the meat must be cooked, which will kill any noxious pathogens before you eat it.

“In the food safety world we say, ‘don’t eat poop,'” said Douglas Powell, a professor of food safety at Kansas State University. “But if you’re going to, make sure it’s cooked.”

The Japanese researchers isolated proteins from bacteria in sewage. The poop-meat concoction is prepared by extracting the basic elements of food – protein, carbohydrates and fats – and recombining them.

The meat is made from 63 percent proteins, 25 percent carbohydrates, 3 percent lipids and 9 percent minerals, according to Digital Trends. Soy protein is added to the mix to increase the flavor, and food coloring is used to make the product appear red.

The researchers came up with the idea after Tokyo Sewage asked them to figure out a use for the abundance of sewage in mud, Digital Trends says.

Powell is not familiar with the researchers’ method, but said he guesses that they are first heat-treating the sewage before they reap its resources.

Powell said the idea is not all that different from eating plants that have been fertilized with manure or other excrement, because the nutrients in the poop become part of the plants.

“Theoretically, there’s nothing wrong with this,” Powell said. “It could be quite safe to eat, but I’m sure there’s a yuck factor there,” he said.

However, Powell said there is the potential for cross contamination in the laboratory where the poop meat is made. That’s why it’s a good thing the meat will eventually be cooked.

But what if the final product was not going to be cooked?

“I wouldn’t touch it, ” Powell said.

Happy Father's Day, Mom?????

Single Moms Are Not Fathers
By Wil LaVeist June 17, 2011

Contrary to a new cultural campaign by Hallmark and others, Father’s Day is not a holiday for black single moms.

I have an idea for a good Father’s Day present: a Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. Inside is the definition for father:

A man who has begotten a child.
A male PARENT.
A father-in-law, stepfather, or adoptive father.

I would give the dictionary to deadbeat dads, but I’d also give it to those being duped into honoring single mom’s on Father’s Day.

The gift idea came while I was in Wal-Mart to buy a card for my dad. My wife, as she shook her head sadly, pointed to the category “Happy Father’s Day, Mom” in the Mahogany section. Mahogany is Hallmark’s brand for African Americans. I looked through the general Father’s Day card section, but couldn’t find the “mom” category.

Hmmm. Why?

Some people insist on making a buck by selling the idea that Father’s Day is also for single moms. Hallmark has been offering the mom cards for a few years, and a Web search also revealed a few entrepreneurs selling T-shirts, mugs and the like. Being a dedicated black father of three grown children who looks forward to this one day that celebrates what I willingly do every day, I find this offensive and even dangerous, particularly for the black community.

Nationally, 1 out of 3 American children live in homes where fathers are absent, according to the Center for Disease Control. The black rate is 2 out of 3. The message to the black community is that single motherhood is acceptable, so celebrate with a Mahogany card.

Bull.

I am a single mother of two males and two females. My strength came from the Ancestors and spiritual guides, and my strong connection to the Creator. But I never identified as the mother and the father. Why? I heard that growing up. “I am your mother and your father.” What that came to mean for me, that my mother became the focus of all my issues.. since my father was absent. This retarded my mental health and emotional growth in many areas.

When I got older I began to realize that my feelings of abandonment were deeply seeded in the fact that my father left me. My mother never left me, (thought there were times that her abusiveness made me wish she would.) But my mother could never fill the gap my father left, no matter how many times she said that. In fact, her mothering skills were faulty, so how in the world could she be a “good” father??

My mother was/is an emotionally driven, high strung manipulator. This I say with no malice because that personality disorder is a product of her life as a small child, a child who lost both parents, one through death, the other through abandonment. So I refused to say that to my children, I am your mother doing the best that I can to be the best that I can to you and for you.

When my sons came of age, I looked for a male figure, rites of passage program or some other programs where men could share their experience, wisdom and just fool around with them as men do. My daughters’ father was also absent.. and they too are experiencing their own issues around that.

As adults, they are responsible for their relationships with their fathers. I stressed that to them and to their fathers. One can only be what one is….. we do realize that every man has a little woman in him and every woman has a little man in her, but seriously, to take on both roles is counterproductive. I am a mother raising children, I am a father raising children. Acknowledge me for my efforts, (and not on some holiday somebody else made up, but that’s another rant) and I will appreciate that. I like the idea of “find another male figure in the family and/or community that you respect to say Happy Father’s day to.” That works!!! The irony of it all is that both of my sons contacted me and said, Happy Father’s Day. It blew me away, because I thought I had made it clear to them. Just a side bar to let folks see how strong the consensus can override the reality.
