Much to do about OIL! At near seven decades of production, Kirkuk Field still produces up to 1 million barrels per day, a large portion of all Iraqi oil exports. Output from the Kirkuk oilfield is now delivered via the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline, which flows to the multi-pipeline terminal at Ceyhan on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. The same BP-run (aka BTC) terminal which also handles the output from oil fields in Central Asia.
Under the Nazi Lebensborn Program approx. 8,000 children were born in Germany and near 12,000 in Viking Norway as part of the selective breeding effort formed by Heinrich Himmler to encourage women of "pure blood" to only bear blonde, blue-eyed offspring.

To the Trumpest-minded wealthy, someone who is not of their economic status is seen as someone who is taking something away from them, like an unwanted dependent.
Now that hateful wealth has infiltrated and taken over all three Branches of Government.

The elderly and non-white persons must be especially wary.
Trump maladministration "foreign policy" is under the influence of Netanyahu and the Saudi as filtered by Kirchner, Putin by blackmail and the pure hatred emanating from his well-heeled "base" and their plentiful dupes, the mean-spirited Christian Nationalists.
This aging President sees the U.S. as a "Corporate Nation" according to his press secretary. WRONG! The U.S. is a Constitutional Federal Republic and always has been, even before Obama.
POTUS also sees the police and uniformed military as one, all under his command.
Donald J.Trump is clearly hallucinating and MUST BE REMOVED! The onset of an aging disease of the mind is a scary thing especially when our President is the one afflicted.
Donald J. Trump desperately NEEDS fame, constant adulation and attention. Trump wants to be more famous and historical than Jesus or Hitler.
Trump is living proof that to be a "knowing madman" knowing a lot is optional.
Rex Tillerson was on his way out at EXXON when he grabbed the brass ring offered by Trump. His actual job as Secretary of Trump is to maintain and expand control over fossil-fuel sources and distribution systems OUTSIDE of the U.S.
The Trump/Tillerson tiff is merely Punch and Judy for the media 2017. Trump is Judy with his dainty hands and thin skin. Tillerson is Mr. Punch and Jeff Sessions is The Baby.
The paranoid Russian intelligence asset Donald J. Trump is beyond schizophrenic. He actually has two separate brains - one in his bald head that makes angry 3AM tweets and picks fights with random persons. The other brain is being carried around by the constantly disambiguating Wayne LaPierre disciple, Stephen Miller.
FACT - Combining two(2) half-wits does not make a full wit.
Senator Corker has it right. WE ARE ALL IN GREAT DANGER! Trump is far too bat•••• crazy to be our President.
Quoting Pence - "I left today’s Colts game because President Trump and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,” Pence said in a statement issued by the White House after his stunt.
Fact - Members of the NFL have been collectively engaging in open protest against police brutality and racism during the U.S. national anthem by “taking a knee", a fact repeatedly stated and fully protected by the First Amendment.
Efforts to distort the facts by blatant maladministration media manipulation and to hold players protesting up to scorn by tacitly implying treason by persons-of-color is intended to racially DIVIDE our nation and no other reason.
Pence is a Seven Mountains Dominionist, an extreme right-wing "Christian" Nationalist movement tacitly being fed into the wide-screen evangelical churches which endeavor to control our country under the authority of those who interpret scriptures to suit their needs.
Basically, the American TALIBAN! And Pence is not alone.
Race is definitely one of the issues in this particular homicidal psychotic episode. No Hispanic or Muslim nor person of color could amass the ARSENAL of KILLING MACHINES purchased by the deranged WHITE drunken golfer assassin without being noticed.
Sorry. Everything you wrote is a diversion. A deranged white drunken golfer got his hands on an ARSENAL of KILLING MACHINES without being noticed. That is the FACT and the ISSUE.
The importance here is not some psychotic drunken impotent golfer with "daddy issues" and delusions of grandeur.
What is important is the fact that virtually anyone who is a white man can accumulate an arsenal of KILLING MACHINES without drawing attention to their efforts.
When "Religious Freedoms" and the Right to Bear Arms suddenly become the dominant aspects of the U.S. culture, we as a country are clearly on the WRONG TRACK!!
Three(3) % of our population owns 50% of the guns.
Coal-fired power generation plants have no way to prevent the dangerous % of mercury in coal from reaching our atmosphere and oceans where it accumulates and kills.

Are administration concerted efforts to suppress important facts which were previously available and are vital to understanding the safety of the the air we breathe a violation of the First Amendment and in doing so, obviates a "clear and present danger" to the citizens of our country?
The irresponsible Trump/GOP TAX Plan shifts multi-billions of dollars into the hands of fewer and fewer people. And will set the stage to loot the Treasury for the earmarked FICA Trust Funds. The ultimate goal.
The issue here is not some psychotic drunken golfer with delusions of grandeur but the fact that virtually anyone who is a white man can accumulate a f•••ing arsenal of KILLING MACHINES without drawing attention to their efforts!
According the Firearms Cult of America, the late Stephen Paddock, who amassed an arsenal of KILLING MACHINES, had 23 guns at the Las Vegas hotel, including modified semi-automatic rifles to full auto, and 19 more guns at his home along with thousands of rounds of ammunition - was merely expressing his CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS up to the point the golfer opened fire.
And those rights must be protected no matter how many toddlers blow away their siblings.
What mystery? Paddock was a drunken, angry golfer who amassed an arsenal of killing machines and ammunition - and as a Christian knew he would be forgiven for his sins by Jesus and the NRA.
Paddock suffered from the same aging disease of the mind as does Trump, currently.
Texas, Louisiana and Florida had sufficient local resources and infrastructure to make Trump administration efforts look good as they recover.
Not the case with Puerto Rico, administration efforts to blame the victims in the face of this disaster for the Trump/GOP inability to provide an adequate response is disturbing on another level. What happens the next time disaster occurs in another non-Trump region?
Unlike the Trump administration which clearly cannot provide timely, organized relief to Puerto Rico, those nasty socialists in the AFL/CIO are actually going to solve a big part of a problem that fat golfers can't seem to fathom.
U.S. labor unions are now organizing truck drivers to help with relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
Trump supporters are the MINORITY. Trump LOST the popular vote so, Trump supporters are little more than Russian stooges and victims of bull•••• FAUXNews propaganda. About as far from being "Real Americans" as one can get.
Our country did not come about as a result of mass stupidity.
There are few things more potentially dangerous to our country than armed-to-the-teeth angry white Christian men who feel they have lost their place in line to someone who doesn't look like them in the mirror.
It does seem odd that a nearing 60 year-old woman who rarely attended a school that was not at home is intent on re-enabling rich white campus rapists?
Discounting or ignoring facts regarding traitorous behavior at our highest levels of national leadership which weakens and pollutes our entire fabric of elections will not solve the problem, either.
Basically, Trump and his minions were attempting sell favors to various Russian factions like he has done so effectively with assorted far-right American factions.
When dimwitted Americans allowed Trump to become President, our country and everything associated was rebranded and became a product for Trump to slice and dice for influence and power.
Trump voters are merely the result of favors with foreign powers. Sold over the counter like white flaky pastry by Russia.
The Nazi-in-Chief and his minions are definitely demonstrating to the entire world their continuous LYING incompetence which is embarrassing to ALL citizens and to a determined enemy, makes us an easier target.
A racist, negative, ineffective and constantly divisive malPOTUS is endangering each and every one of us.
Certainly, there have been periods of rapid climate change in the past caused by cometary, asteroid impacts, hyper-volcanism, intense lightening storm-driven firestorms but this will be the first time a species of animal, Hominidae - the extant, Homo sapiens sapiens has caused rapid global climate change.
This critter consumes, exterminates and burns everything it comes into contact with for the species' own sake with no regard for consequences. To fuel this selfish endeavor this critter sucks the very life out of the remains of long-dead living things and then spews huge amounts of many poisons into the skies and waters with greedy enthusiasm.
Right now, Homo sapiens sapiens is running neck and neck with an asteroid impact except a little slower.
Good point, Eisenhower Republicans saw the need to balance the needs of wealth and power with the needs of the people, therefore, the Interstate Highway System. Returning to the 1949 tax rates would fix a lot of bridges and knock some undeserving folks down a peg or two.
The Trump tax plan merely sets up the eventual scenario to justify looting the entire Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds by those who likely never contributed a cent to those Funds.
Although it is doubtful many Floridians have ever heard of Polemarchus (unless he is on FAUXNews) or read much Socrates but to your point, Gov. Scott is a VERY white grifter who appeals to the STUPIDS in Florida.
Rush Limbaugh is a opioid-addicted, Clinton-hating, extreme right-wing nutcase who appeals to people exactly like him.
Over the years Limbaugh has proven time and again HE KNOWS NOTHING except to speak in an annoying, excited high tone. A method of dialog which appeals to the marginals in our country.
If one merely observes the overall behavior of hominids since the use of fire, it would be fair to postulate our species is inherently pre-programmed to "terraform" Planet Earth for habitation by some other species - a species which breathes carbon dioxide with a taste of methane and disdains liquid water.
Simple fact: an increasing number of fire-using hominids on the planet - "terraforming" increases.
Special note: Use of fossil fuels greatly accelerates "terraforming."
Other than a massive outbreak of recessive genes and FAS in the U.S., what else could possibly cause human-accelerated climate change denial?
Professor Cole - a point, "build great cities on major earthquake faults." True, the Mexico quake was a subduction zone break which are caused by forces which can be thousands of miles away from the event itself.
At this point in history, underestimating the effects of human behavior on our planet may not be prudent?
Professor Cole - It is fact that humans can cause large earthquakes, as is on-going in Central Oklahoma and South Central Kansas. Oil and gas have been extracted from Central and Southern California for well over a century. In 1903, California became the largest oil producer in the U.S.
Currently, there is an on-going major flooding disaster on every continent. Magnitude 4.3 earthquakes in Oklahoma where none existed a generation ago, an 8.5 earthquake in Mexico on the path of a CAT 2 hurricane, Katia. The Magnitude 8.5 Mexico event is along a chunk of the same fault-line system known as the San Andreas Fault in California.
Couple this Earth-bound info with a narcissistic, lying carnival-barker POTUS who can't wait to nuke someone. Folks dropping like flies from opioids and police bullets in an emerging AmeriNazi State for white Jesus.
As long as Americans continue to consume fossil-fuels at their current rate, build great cities on major earthquake faults, coastal flood plains or below sea level. And elect rich, unqualified •••clowns for leaders. It is really hard to find any compassion, whatsoever.
There are few things more dangerous than armed-to-the-teeth angry white men who feel they have lost their place in line to someone who doesn't look like themselves in the mirror.
Professor Kolin
Trump's narcissistic lawlessness and distain for truth and facts has never been hidden from view. Couple these tendencies with the fact Trump has a demonstrated delusional view of his powers as our President. Note: Trump can only go full-authoritarian if he feels he has the U.S. military solidly behind him.
Prediction of triggers:
• Protracted national disaster(s).
• Commencement of major war(s), e.g. Korea, Iran, Venezuela.
• Dramatic terrorist attack(s). Real and false flag.
• Demented U.S. President nukes someone.
Keep Trump the hell out of Texas! The DACA issue was pressed in-person by the constantly-under-indictment Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and hell-on-wheels Gov. Greg Abbott. Never mind the fact California contains the largest number of DACA eligible, not Texas. Far more than any other of the nine states joining Paxton - Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho, West Virginia, and Idaho, combined.
When Irma makes landfall on Mar-a-Lago at Cat 5 and Houston gets swamped by the second storm, Katia, will climate-change stupidity in our country persist?
Will Irma and Katia be the "pussy" that finally grabs Trump? And his dangerous gaggle of denial miscreants?
So, let's see? An on-going flooding event on every continent. An iceberg the size of a state leaving Antartica, the first tanker makes the North Passage without an ice-breaker. Not good.
Trump's stupid policies and these particular henchmen will make things MUCH WORSE. For example:
• Under three (3) terms of unable-to-count-to-three Gov. Rick Perry , Texas grabs the worst polluting State in the U.S. title (Recognized carcinogens to air.) by a huge margin.
• CEO Tillerson has sold his soul to the Gods of Fossil Fuels and is now a demigod himself with major ties to Russia, a country which benefits from climate-change.
Republican Texas politicians are complete and total •••hole$. The only good ONE is somewhat senile and retiring. A neo-NAZI Trumpist is running for his seat.
It is accurate to point out this fact - Republican Texas politicians reflect their constituencies, closely.
Suggestion for Texans - LEARN TO SWIM! And stop pleading at Trump-nanny to bail you out.
Perhaps these White Supremacists who seem to have a lot of time on their hands to demonstrate, thug, cruise around in pickup trucks or on big kiddy motorscooters can get on down to Southeast Texas and help them rebuild after Harvey?
Since their leaders endeavor throwing out all those who actually do the dirty heavy lifting in Texas.
Dumb••• Texas tried to enact a law preventing "Sanctuary Cities" in Texas the day Harvey started the downpour.
Fortunately, a Federal judge may have saved those hundreds of thousands needing repairs or rebuilding from the mickey-mouse workmanship guaranteed with unemployed White Supremacists.
Storms like Katrina, Sandy and Harvey are a sneak peak into future storms which will devastate the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast greatly amplified by human stupidity and greed.
Totally unreported by the oil-soaked corporate-controlled media - China is now calling on all nations to cooperate on tackling global climate change.
Apparently, Mr. Jones has never been close enough with a woman to understand the term SANITARY NAPKIN something which a fertile woman can need from time to time.
Is Donald jealous of Harvey? A case of megalomaniacal hurricane envy? And wanting to "Trump" the hurricane did a dump on our country, a storm surge of horse•••• and hate.
Pardoning fellow hyper-birther and convicted FELON, voted out-of-office Hispanic-hating Joe Arpaio is merely another one of Trump's Muscovite golden showers on our country.
And now this -The Trump maladministration will remove limits on a program that provides local law enforcement with surplus military gear, limits placed by Obama.
Soon, your local PD can again acquire armored vehicles, high-caliber weapons and stealth military gear at surplus prices.
It's very clear the Trump policy indifferent to collateral damage demonstrated repeatedly overseas extends to our shores as well.
Your second paragraph is far beyond the capacity of a far-right zealot to ponder.
Those who would respond to obvious NRA dog-whistles which imply violence simply hate anyone who doesn't look like themselves in a mirror. They are DEFECTIVE sub-humans who need a defective leader to follow.
When someone ends up a Russian intelligence asset through coercion, blackmail or even, inadvertently. There is a responsibility to report in detail the situation to your country in a timely manner without tedious investigations and endless media talking-head fodder ad absurdum.
Especially when that someone is the President of the United States - who actually lost the popular vote to become President.

Although it is doubtful many Floridians have ever heard of Polemarchus (unless he is on FAUXNews) or read much Socrates but to your point, Gov. Scott is a VERY white grifter who appeals to the STUPIDS in Florida.
Got it.
When grifters like Rick Scott get elected to public office it's because Florida voters BE STUPID and no other reason.
Electing official climate-deniers has serious, perhaps deserved, consequences.
Florida, take a lesson.
Nope. He is merely an annoying POS who appeals to his equals.
Rush Limbaugh is a opioid-addicted, Clinton-hating, extreme right-wing nutcase who appeals to people exactly like him.
Over the years Limbaugh has proven time and again HE KNOWS NOTHING except to speak in an annoying, excited high tone. A method of dialog which appeals to the marginals in our country.
If one merely observes the overall behavior of hominids since the use of fire, it would be fair to postulate our species is inherently pre-programmed to "terraform" Planet Earth for habitation by some other species - a species which breathes carbon dioxide with a taste of methane and disdains liquid water.
Simple fact: an increasing number of fire-using hominids on the planet - "terraforming" increases.
Special note: Use of fossil fuels greatly accelerates "terraforming."
Other than a massive outbreak of recessive genes and FAS in the U.S., what else could possibly cause human-accelerated climate change denial?
Professor Cole - a point, "build great cities on major earthquake faults." True, the Mexico quake was a subduction zone break which are caused by forces which can be thousands of miles away from the event itself.
At this point in history, underestimating the effects of human behavior on our planet may not be prudent?
Professor Cole - It is fact that humans can cause large earthquakes, as is on-going in Central Oklahoma and South Central Kansas. Oil and gas have been extracted from Central and Southern California for well over a century. In 1903, California became the largest oil producer in the U.S.

The San Fernando Valley has previously experience oil production related quakes as has the South Central Valley where there is fracking underway.
As our planet gets hotter, the surface will expand and weak portions will break and shift, fossil fuel production weakens the crust.
There appears to be little the pyro-hominid can't damage.
Currently, there is an on-going major flooding disaster on every continent. Magnitude 4.3 earthquakes in Oklahoma where none existed a generation ago, an 8.5 earthquake in Mexico on the path of a CAT 2 hurricane, Katia. The Magnitude 8.5 Mexico event is along a chunk of the same fault-line system known as the San Andreas Fault in California.

Couple this Earth-bound info with a narcissistic, lying carnival-barker POTUS who can't wait to nuke someone. Folks dropping like flies from opioids and police bullets in an emerging AmeriNazi State for white Jesus.
As long as Americans continue to consume fossil-fuels at their current rate, build great cities on major earthquake faults, coastal flood plains or below sea level. And elect rich, unqualified •••clowns for leaders. It is really hard to find any compassion, whatsoever.
There are few things more dangerous than armed-to-the-teeth angry white men who feel they have lost their place in line to someone who doesn't look like themselves in the mirror.
Unless you were a Jew or one among the 52 types of victims persecuted by the Nazis during that era.

Trump's narcissistic lawlessness and distain for truth and facts has never been hidden from view. Couple these tendencies with the fact Trump has a demonstrated delusional view of his powers as our President. Note: Trump can only go full-authoritarian if he feels he has the U.S. military solidly behind him.
Prediction of triggers:
• Protracted national disaster(s).
• Commencement of major war(s), e.g. Korea, Iran, Venezuela.
• Dramatic terrorist attack(s). Real and false flag.
• Demented U.S. President nukes someone.
Here's a tip to keep America SANE.
Keep Trump the hell out of Texas! The DACA issue was pressed in-person by the constantly-under-indictment Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and hell-on-wheels Gov. Greg Abbott. Never mind the fact California contains the largest number of DACA eligible, not Texas. Far more than any other of the nine states joining Paxton - Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho, West Virginia, and Idaho, combined.

The abundance of h8 and poison residing in Texas must no be allowed to spread.
Donald J. Trump and Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III are endeavoring to abuse 800,000 brown-skinned defenseless children by proxy.
Why has America become so mean-spirited and petty?
When Irma makes landfall on Mar-a-Lago at Cat 5 and Houston gets swamped by the second storm, Katia, will climate-change stupidity in our country persist?
Will Irma and Katia be the "pussy" that finally grabs Trump? And his dangerous gaggle of denial miscreants?
When building a major U.S. city 50 feet above sea-level on a flood plain on Hurricane Coast - bad things can happen.
Houston became a populous area for a single reason - fossil fuel.
Which makes Harvey and the aftermath, the most IRONIC storm in U.S. history.
So far.
Q - "Where Do 'Alt-Right' Groups Get Their Money?"
A - From the lucky rich or wealthy-by-daddy defectives and indirectly from Russia.
Red Line Agreement of 1928. Look it up.
So, let's see? An on-going flooding event on every continent. An iceberg the size of a state leaving Antartica, the first tanker makes the North Passage without an ice-breaker. Not good.
Trump's stupid policies and these particular henchmen will make things MUCH WORSE. For example:
• Under three (3) terms of unable-to-count-to-three Gov. Rick Perry , Texas grabs the worst polluting State in the U.S. title (Recognized carcinogens to air.) by a huge margin.

Republican Texas politicians are complete and total •••hole$. The only good ONE is somewhat senile and retiring. A neo-NAZI Trumpist is running for his seat.
It is accurate to point out this fact - Republican Texas politicians reflect their constituencies, closely.
Suggestion for Texans - LEARN TO SWIM! And stop pleading at Trump-nanny to bail you out.
Ha!
Perhaps these White Supremacists who seem to have a lot of time on their hands to demonstrate, thug, cruise around in pickup trucks or on big kiddy motorscooters can get on down to Southeast Texas and help them rebuild after Harvey?
Since their leaders endeavor throwing out all those who actually do the dirty heavy lifting in Texas.
Dumb••• Texas tried to enact a law preventing "Sanctuary Cities" in Texas the day Harvey started the downpour.
Fortunately, a Federal judge may have saved those hundreds of thousands needing repairs or rebuilding from the mickey-mouse workmanship guaranteed with unemployed White Supremacists.

Is Donald jealous of Harvey? A case of megalomaniacal hurricane envy? And wanting to "Trump" the hurricane did a dump on our country, a storm surge of horse•••• and hate.
Pardoning fellow hyper-birther and convicted FELON, voted out-of-office Hispanic-hating Joe Arpaio is merely another one of Trump's Muscovite golden showers on our country.
And now this -The Trump maladministration will remove limits on a program that provides local law enforcement with surplus military gear, limits placed by Obama.
Soon, your local PD can again acquire armored vehicles, high-caliber weapons and stealth military gear at surplus prices.
It's very clear the Trump policy indifferent to collateral damage demonstrated repeatedly overseas extends to our shores as well.

The real danger is hyper-Trumpists embedded in our military and law enforcement.
When someone ends up a Russian intelligence asset through coercion, blackmail or even, inadvertently. There is a responsibility to report in detail the situation to your country in a timely manner without tedious investigations and endless media talking-head fodder ad absurdum.
Especially when that someone is the President of the United States - who actually lost the popular vote to become President.
The same thing that will happen much like the far-right parties Putin supports here. The country develops a rectal Trumpistanic view.
