Are you confused about global warming? Let our world-renowned expert enlighten you
Wednesday, August 5, 2009 6:20 AM PDT
I'm confused. Does global warming increase the temperature of the Earth or decrease it?
Just look at the numbers for this year:
Manhattan in June averaged 3.7 degrees F below normal — the coldest since 1958.
In the same month, Phoenix had 15 days below 100 degrees F — the first time since 1913. Downtown Los Angeles averaged 5 degrees below normal.
On the world front, June in Brazil was one of the coldest months in many years. New Zealand had a rare case of snow. On June 26 in South Africa, two homeless men froze to death. Some experts now say that there has been no warming of the Earth since 1998.
I am certainly not well versed on the subject. However, I do know someone who is.
Dr. Heintz Dummkoft is a world-renowned expert on the subject. He can be seen nightly on the local weather broadcast in the tiny little town of Turbulence, Texas. Here are highlights of an interview I did with this important scientist.
Q: Dr. Dummkoft: Can you explain why the planet seems to be getting cooler and not warmer?
A: It is pure illusion, my boy. Let me try to explain this so even a person of below-average intelligence, such as yourself, can understand it. You see, global warming causes water on the Earth's surface to evaporate. Then, cool air in the atmosphere condenses it. This process makes rain and gives us the illusion that things are getting cooler.
Q: It would appear that supporters of global warming theory believe there is a correlation between rising CO2 levels and warmer temperatures. But if that is the case, how do we explain periods, during the Earth's history, when CO2 levels rose, but temperatures got colder?
A: That is pure mythology. Do you know anyone around today who witnessed such an occurrence? Are there any ancient videos on YouTube to illustrate that poppycock? No. I didn't think so.
Q: Although some have touted that man's activities are to blame for rising temperatures, is there really any hard scientific evidence to support this? It would appear that this assertion is only based on correlation.
A: Why must I deal with the overwhelming ignorance of the world? Are there more people, Hummers and propane barbecues on this planet then ever before? What more proof do you need?
Q: Is it ethical for grant-supported corporations and professors, as well as greedy politicians, to make millions of taxpayer dollars on their promotions of global warming?
A: What kind of question is that? Are you now suggesting that Americans should not be allowed to make a profit? What are you — a communist?
Q: I just have one more question, and I won't take any more of your valuable time. It is estimated that legislative attempts to correct global warming will cost Americans billions in higher energy costs and taxes. Won't this put our country in a very poor competitive position as compared to other countries such as China and India?
A: So, you would rather destroy the planet and force your children and grandchildren to live on the Moon? I really don't have time for any more of this nonsense. The debate on global warming is over. I must get back to my important work of predicting Texas weather for the next couple of days.
Q: That brings up another point. If you guys can't tell us what the temperature will be a week from today, how can you claim to do it 10 years from now?
A: Get out! OUT!!
OK. Well thank you for the interview, Dr. Dummkoft. I think you have more than convinced me.

Administrative remedy.
All parties are required to exhaust their admin remedy before bothering the court at taxpayer expense with their problem.
Moreover, my mentor always prefers to get sued first, so that he can use his right of counterclaim in the court, and he turns himself into the plaintiff. In this case the judge's hands are tied because he does not have the power to dismiss a counterclaim, and the judge is not allowed to listen to the original claim while a counterclaim is pending.
I am doing this right now. It's a small claim, and there's a small amount at risk, but not so for the opposing party. "

If I could give you any advice, I would recommend that if you hold a BAR card, to renounce it promptly.
Yes, there are two California constitutions. The second did not supersede the first. The first went into exile.
Similarly, there are two federal district court systems (not counting bankruptcy).
The demise or exile of both original versions is related to the civil war, but the original federal constitution is currently in question.
For example, there is U.S. DISTRICT COURT, and there is district court for the United States. The names are similar so that it’s not obvious. The second court is a shadow government. They won’t admit, but the clerk knows full well what it is. "

Due process extends to ALL phases of trial - pre-filing, the trial itself, and the right to appeal. The legal principals you stated apply to after the trial has been adjudicated. I was wondering what due process considerations are given pre-trial. It appears that there are not many due to statutory restrictions, which is unusual. "
danielh wrote on Aug 17, 2009 7:40 PM:
Which article of the constitution are you going to use?
Start with Article III under the judicial branch. Ask a judge if they are operating under Article III.
Others have asked this question in open court. Answer: NO.
Keep going through the constitution for something that might apply: None. If you ask, I expect you will get all NO's.
Our local courts are administrative, pure contract.

danielh wrote on Aug 17, 2009 7:28 PM:
Consider the question: What article of the constitution, if the constitution is real, would be a guideline for state courts. Well.... that would be the state constitution.
Next, ask yourself about the state constitution. Uh-oh. There are two such constitutions.
1849 constitution is for the people.
circa 1870 constitution is for the corporation.
That's a bombshell of information. I'll leave with that, and I hope to read from you either here, before archives, or if they do archive it, next time.
I'll look forward to what you think about that. "
danielh wrote on Aug 17, 2009 7:22 PM:
First, they tricked the man into arguing. Someone or the judge said something that made him mad, and then he argued about something he had already won. Then the judge took his administrative judgement, and turned it upside-down.
Case start all over, in local jurisdiction.
Funny story afterward, if you ask and want to see it. "
danielh wrote on Aug 17, 2009 7:18 PM:
When I claim res judicata, stare decisis, and collateral estoppel, there is no more procedure.
If a judge agrees to hear controversy in a case that has these, I don't know how much longer that judge's career is going to last.
I don't know how long the court is going to have their CAFR funds.
No court in local or federal jurisdiction, has any right to listen to controversy in such a case, unless I surrender that which I have already accomplished. "

Aimee wrote on Aug 17, 2009 9:49 AM:
In terms of jurisdiction, in order to hear a dispute, jurisdiction must exist (in personem, diversity of citizenship or federal question). A defendant may claim that a federal court does not have jurisdiction over the claim (for various reasons) and ask to have it removed to state court. However, on the other hand, federal courts have jurisdiction over cases where federal law is invoked - hence the use of admiralty law? I've never heard of altering the process of service in order to avoid removal to state court, though. That is interesting in itself.
I see now that your case has nothing to do with the tort claim of defamation. Your case has to do with seizure of property and you are using maritime law to enforce the provisions of USC Title 28 2461. "

Notify the libelee that they will agree by tacit procuration if they non-respond.
Notify that the facts will have res judicata, stare decisis, and collateral estoppel if they don't respond. Translate these terms into plain English for the libelees. [I hope you know these.]

28 USC 1333(2) looks innocent if it is just applies to sunken treasure under water, because it says that sunken treasure is finders-keepers.
Well, suppose it doesn't have to be under the water anymore.
On land, finders-keepers, such as abandoned property. If a bank or the IRS can trick someone into abandoning their property, guess what!
For this criminal intent and reasoning, the federal govt will never delete 28 USC 1333, even though people with a little bit of knowledge like me are capable of using it for peace to hold govt and corporate officials accountable. "
danielh wrote on Aug 15, 2009 2:27 PM:
In admiralty, the defendant is always guilty.
Hence the only way to win in court, if you are a defendant, is to reverse the charges with a counterclaim, and the counterclaim must be Within the Admiralty.
Invoke Title 28 USC 1333 (1). I suggest you look at §1333, §1337 and §2461. "

danielh wrote on Aug 15, 2009 2:20 PM:
At the end goal of my process, the UCC allows for a notary public to certify a security interest in a corporation (a lien).
So if the libelees are waiting to go to court, to protect their property, perhaps they are unaware that I already have a security interest in their property.
Meanwhile, they are still planning their courtroom strategy which just isn't going to happen.
They probably don't realize how they are already buried in a grave while they are planning a defensive strategy that isn't going to happen. "

That is, the maxims of law have biblical origin, many of them related to the Jews being forced to establish law after they fled out of Egypt, and many of these forms of law exist still today. "

That is a pretty good description of why they didn't respond.
I have seen how they laugh at people. They sit in the secrecy of their closed doors and tell jokes about their opinion of someone.
I'm sure they did the same with me, but I guess they didn't know it was nuclear and about to explode.

Next, I get a nihil dicit. You might know what that is, but if you don't, it's worth a look-up in Black's.
It's a pretty bad legal term, if you're a libelee. Good for me, though, because I will have perfected a maritime lien, and there isn't anything they can do about it. Did you understand the explanation I previously gave? "

You wrote, "If the proponents position has such merit, Why do they lie so much to defend it?"
First, I think you mean, "If the proponents position has **NO** such merit, Why do they lie..."
Actually, that's a good question.
The answer is that they have very much at stake. This lie is a huge part of their fraud. "

Leonard, you seem to be confusing the issues. Yes, man can, and does, do damage to the earth; but human beings are not causing "global warming", "global cooling", or "climate change"...Mother Earth does that just fine on her own. ;)
Man, however, can act as a ***steward*** of the earth and live in harmony with nature; which does NOT require carbon tax trading exchanges that would benefit Gore and his crew.
Being a steward of the earth is taking care of things....similar to how Native Americans managed to live here and keep things nice before the Europeans showed up.
Nothing to it but a little effort on each individual's part; no new laws needed; no "beliefs" shoved down anyone's throat. "

You couldn't even if you tried. Still, I do hope that someday God will turn your heart away from the false idols of hatred and bigotry and fill it with the Love of Jesus Christ.
I will pray for you. "

" Leonard: Don't forget to remind everybody.
although this summer is relatively cool, I realize full well that we can submit to the average temperature being 0.2 degrees per decade larger than the natural earth temperature.
I don't know what it is like in Lodi but here in Texas, it is on track to be the hottest summer in recorded history. Today, the reported high was 107 even though the thermometer on my porch hit 110 in the shade.
The average high in Austin this time of year is in the mid 90's but we have hit at least 102 almost every day since early July. "

New Zealand had a rare case of snow.
This must have come as quite a surprise to the many people working in the New Zealand ski industry.
From the New Zealand Tourism Board's Website:
New Zealand is the perfect location for great snow sport experiences, with ideal geography producing the altitude and attitude required for spectacular snow sport conditions.
Most of New Zealand's ski areas open in mid-June and close around the beginning of October, providing more than four months of fun for skiers and riders.
The boards website provides a lot more information on the great opportunities for snow sports in the Alps of the Southern Hemisphere.

I think Dr.Dumbkoff must be one of the (God knows how many) czars that are now in Washington. The reason I believe this, is the way he answers your questions. Sounds just like those in D.C. that seem a little arrogant, speak with a forked tongue and never answer a question. But there is one bright spot and that is the transparency that they promised is very clear.......they think that the American public are all stupid and do not recognize and understand this administrations agenda, but we do.
