I'm trying to keep my political musings on my other other blog:

Dangers of mercury in vaccines

Vaccination: Federal Health Agencies Continue to Deceive Americans
Congressional Report on a Vaccine Mercury-Autism Link Ignored for Six Years

by Richard Gale and Dr Gary Null

Manufacturers of vaccines and thimerosal have never conducted adequate testing on the safety of thimerosal. The FDA has never required manufacturers to conduct adequate safety testing on thimerosal and ethylmercury compounds.”

For many decades, the FDA has known about the neurotoxic effects of thimersosal. A review of internal documents from Eli Lilly, the original inventor of ethylmercury in the 1920s, reveals that only one study has ever been performed to investigate thimerosal’s safety in humans and it was “woefully inadequate.” During the actual Committee hearings, Rep. Burton remarked, “You mean to tell me since 1929 we’ve been using thimerosal and the only test you know of is the one that was done in 1929, and every one of those people got meningitis and died?”[5]

The EPA tells s not to eat a can of tuna fish because it contains mercury, but the FDA and the CDC tell us to let them inject mercury into us. They claim that it's perfectly safe!

Owl in Daylight Reviewed at Mosty Fiction

Anne Wilkes' review of The Owl in Daylight was posted at Mostly Fiction about a month ago, but I just got this link:


Owl Review at Mostly Fiction

It’s a bit like Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups. The devices used—alien mind control, and divine communication—though unorthodox, show man’s struggle with sin, regret and the prisons he makes for himself. These prisons parallel Dick’s iron-barred Roman cages of the hidden “reality.”

Climate Change - The Real Story

As a writer of science fiction, I have an intense interest in science, especially as it affects real people. One of the most alarming trends in science, in my opinion, is to panic over unproven theories of global disaster. Global warming presents a huge threat to humanity, not because the Earth is warming but because it is not warming. In fact, many prominent scientists state -- and have been stating since the 1950s -- that we are entering a global ice age.

While alarmists change their cry of global warming to global climate change, the real situation on the ground reveals that they do not know what they are talking about. The global warming alarmists predicated that average global temperatures would rise over the past ten years, but the temperatures have actually fallen.

And there's more.

As physicist David Douglass said, “If the facts are contrary to any predictions, then the hypothesis is wrong no matter how appealing.”

Many people pointed to facts contradicting the “appealing” hypothesis but were ignored or marginalized for several reasons. These included; apparent support from rising global temperatures between 1980 and 1998; evidence too technical for most people; effective personal attacks on skeptics; Gore’s slick propaganda movie An Inconvenient Truth despite 35 scientific errors; and the mainstream media was ignorant of the science and biased.

New Ocean Forming in Africa?

I just love this kind of science story, a little over the edge, but still making the mainstream news.

The African and Arabian plates meet in the remote Afar desert of Northern Ethiopia and have been spreading apart in a rifting process — at a speed of less than 1 inch per year — for the past 30 million years. This rifting formed the 186-mile Afar depression and the Red Sea. The thinking is that the Red Sea will eventually pour into the new sea in a million years or so. The new ocean would connect to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, an arm of the Arabian Sea between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula and Somalia in eastern Africa.

Origins, Rare Collector's Item

If you have a copy of Origins, Part One: Thor's Hammer, it is now a rare collector's item.

The two paperback editions from Create Space have been discontinued because Publish America has bought the rights. They will make my novel available in hardcover and paperback, and they will list it in the catalogs that book store managers use. We have signed the contract, and they are paying me an advance of one dollar.

The signed copies of Origins are already going for about $100 on eBay, and the value will go up.

Only 60 copies of the first edition are in existence, and only 10 copies of the second edition are in existence. I have signed only 20 copies of the first edition, and I have not signed any copies of the second edition. I own 5 copies of the second edition, which I will be signing and either selling or giving away.

This is a step up for me, having a "real" publisher.

I want to thank all of you for your support and for reading my books!

Thank you so much!
