Roger’s take on global warming and the rotting down of dragon carcasses causing bloating and volcanic events. Roger’s take on global warming is not that it is caused by CO2.

There’s a desperate attempt from the US Neocon globalists to become the winners of the crash. To sell out at the top and buy back at the bottom, establishing themselves as the richest and most powerful sector on the planet – able to buy up all land and other key assets and exclude all others …
Israel is arming Greece, Athens treats Israel as a vital partner, above all as a counterweight to Turkey. But arms sales, high rents blamed on Israeli property buyers, and revulsion at the Gaza war are turning that partnership into a domestic liability.
