Mankind's Ultimate Insanity

China has shaken up the free world nations by knocking out one of it's obsolete weather satellites while in orbit. After a couple of failed missile tries it succeeded in blasting it to pieces. This ability to knock out satellites is making the nations that rely on satellite technology and information, nervous. China has succeeded in bringing war into outer space. Many nations, including the US and Canada have filed protests with China. Like that is going to change the fact that China has demonstrated it has the capability to destroy the spy satellites.

The world has entered an unprecedented dangerous period. We have Iran developing nuclear capabilities and just recently North Korea has demonstrated that it has developed the nuclear bomb. Other nations including Japan and Egypt as well as Germany are increasing their efforts to develop nuclear weapon technology. With all this going on I'm beginning to think that global warming will become a mute problem. Human survival will be the problem. The world is becoming unstable. War is inevitable as cultures and religions are preparing to clash. It is only a matter of time before this world is engulfed nuclear battles. Yes, mankind is preparing himself for this ultimate insanity. The Western world has pinned it's hopes to avert this on diplomacy. Problem is, history has shown that you cannot negotiate with nations bent on world dominance. They have set their course and though they might be temporarily delayed they will not stop until they have achieved their goal or have been thoroughly defeated.

Now that the United States is declining from it's world power status a new power block is forming in Europe. A Catholic power that is destined to clash once again with the Muslim world and afterward the Asian world. This clash is prophesied to bring mankind to the brink of extinction. Only God will be able to prevent all life being destroyed from this planet.

Bulletin of Atomic Scientist on January17th announced the clock change at an unprecedented joint news conference held at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., and the Royal Society in London. In a statement supporting the decision to move the hand of the Doomsday Clock, the bas board focused on two major sources of catastrophe: the perils of 27,000 nuclear weapons, 2,000 of them ready to launch within minutes; and the destruction of human habitats from climate change. In articles by 14 leading scientists and security experts writing in the January-February issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (http://www.thebulletin.org), the potential for catastrophic damage from human-made technologies is explored further.Created in 1947 by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the Doomsday Clock has been adjusted only 17 times prior to today, most recently in February 2002 after the events of 9/11.By moving the hand of the clock closer to midnight—the figurative end of civilization—the B.A.S. board of directors is drawing attention to the increasing dangers from the spread of nuclear weapons in a world of violent conflict, and to the catastrophic harm from climate change that is unfolding. The bas statement explains: “We stand at the brink of a Second Nuclear Age. Not since the first atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has the world faced such perilous choices. North Korea’s recent test of a nuclear weapon, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, a renewed emphasis on the military utility of nuclear weapons, the failure to adequately secure nuclear materials, and the continued presence of some 26,000 nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia are symptomatic of a failure to solve the problems posed by the most destructive technology on Earth.”
