The Great South American Heatwave Hoax of 2023

It was a super big media alarm.  The End of the World was coming.  Oh my!  An untold, unprecedented, unparalleled, unimaginable, unquenchable, and unbearable heatwave was menacing South America, during its Winter of 2023.  The central focal point of time was August 1st of that year.  

Santiago was reported as being a place of oppressive & "sweltering heat," all the while creating plumes of deadly smog over the city ... even though smog is simply ground-level ozone and is NOT formed the way in which journalists uneducated in atmospheric science claim.  

None the less, also put on display was Vicuna, Coquimbe (in Chile).  It was reported to have reached 99F there, on August 1st, 2023, in the middle of the Southern Hemispheric winter ... NOT.   It was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit there, on that day, pursuant to professional meteorological record-keepers.  The mainstream TV & Print media outright lied.  

Predictably enough, this trend of FALSE weather reports occurred under the Biden Administration.  The goal was to deceive the world into believing the Year 2023 was the hottest year ever.  This would then allow the Biden Administration and the UN to possess dictatorial powers upon the West.  

 The  Fraudulence of CNN

It was then mentioned by none other than the less-than-honest CNN that 100F+ temperature readings were occurring throughout South America in early August of 2024.  However, the meteorological companies  such as Accuweather & the Weather Channel tell a much more tame story.

Immediately below is part of a CNN article, also posted pursuant to the US Fair Use Act.  It's a report on the August temperatures in Chile.  Take note that it states:  "dozens of stations are recording their highest ever temperatures in the first half of August."  The mention of 100F temperature readings is included in that wintertime news article.  

Okay then.  Where is the list of the weather stations involved?  Where are the official stats, data, charts, calendars, graphs, reports, briefings?  Where's the evidence of this global boiling winter?  Were people being hospitalized by the tens of thousand in those areas?  Were people dying by the thousand there? 

People were dying by the thousand in Paris France, in the Summer of 1911.  Paris in 1976 and 2003 were tragic summers, also.  So, if South America in the Winter of 2023 was not like Paris in 1911, then the recent news reports were a collective fraud via sensationalistic hyper-exaggeration ... done by media employees who needed to be fired immediately.

Below is actually one of many Doomsday passages in the CNN Book of the Apocalypse.  This is countered by over 31 pieces of evidentiary support, all posted here.  Let us begin.  Shall we?

                              *************************************************
This makes it sound as if South America ... between the 30th and 35th Parallels ... has become an apocalyptic inferno that demands an immediate environmental response by which all humans are to surrender all of their rights and then do whatever they are told to do.  Santiago is on the 33rd Parallel.  In North America, the 33rd Parallel passes through the middle of Arizona, New Mexico, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina.   That's warm weather land. Thus, expect no Arctic temperatures in the Southern Hemisophere's 33rd parallel degree, either..

Moreover, the Tropics are located at 23 degrees ... north and south.  And of course, the Tropic of Capricorn travels through northern South America, meaning that the temperatures will also be at least warm ... even in wintertime.  Even concerning the Tropics, there is no concept of "warm season/cold season" there.  There is Dry Season and Wet Season, instead.

All in all, if August temps are between 55F and 75F in the vicinities ranging from Santiago to Vicuna, then you have no end-of-the-world scenario.  You have average --- the mean --- the median -- the mode.  You have   You only have con artist journalists who need to have their FCC licensing revoked from their establishment.  

Such an entity also needs to be served with a major class action lawsuit, for the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, especially upon the school students told horrors about the weather which has been nothing more than a repeat of the 1930s, 1920s, 1890s, and 1870s.  After all, history repeats itself and climate is CYCLICAL. 

CNN did NOT pass the Carl Sagan Test

Now remember, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." (Carl Sagan)  In as much, where is the picture of the thermometer which recorded a 99F or a 100+ degree reading in Wintertime Chile? Where are all the certifications of all of these "hottest day ever" assertions? 

Concerning Santiago's "smog" and "sweltering heat," it was officially reported by meteorological professionals that Santiago was "foggy" ... and NOT smoggy ... on August 1st --- with a 72F to 74F high temperature and a 39F low.  Someone lied once again to humanity, in an intentional act to create emotional distress and to maybe get some of that US Congressional funding sent their way.

Immediately below are three reports of Santiago, for August 2023, posted pursuant to the Fair Use Act.  One of from the world famous Weather Channel.  Another is from the equally known Accuweather.  The third one is the reading at the international airport in Santiago.  No 100F heat there, folks.  No 90F heat there, either.  No 82F, 84F, or 86F heat there, as well, concerning August of 2023.  The only brutal heat in Santiago was the heat coming out of the engines of the passenger jets there.

Take note as to how low the nighttime temps were in the general and even specific vicinities of Vicuna and Santiago.  They were sometimes near the freezing mark.

  



*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   
Below:  Now for JULY.  Specifically, Santiago in July of 2023, pursuant to the Weather Channel.  CNN said it was blazing hot there, in July & August of 2024.  CNN lied.   There were NO 90F days there; NO 80+ Fahrenheit days, either.  Moderate temps only.  CNN needs to have its FCC licensing REVOKED.
BELOW:  Now for Accuweather's report on Santiago, for July 2023.  CNN lied with such audacity that it's FCC licensing should have been revoked.  However, the corrupt are in power at present, and the corrupt always keep the equally corrupt in power.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
A town near Santiago would have close to the same temperature as did Santiago.  Thus, the nearby town of Puento Alto could confirm if any placee near Santiago was brutally hot.  It wasn't.  Puento Alto reported 72F as the high temperature on August 1st.
Below:  Another two Puente Alto weather reports for the months of July and August 2023.  These are two products of the world renown Weather Channel.  According to this report, it was 73F or 74F in Puente Alto, on Tuesday, August 1st, 2023.  That's NOT sweltering heat.

We begin with the August 2023 calendar, so that you can see immediately that August 1st near Santiago was only in the low 70s Fahrenheit.  This is more evidence that the media reporters lie and lie and lie again.
Below here:  Take note how mild the July temperatures were, also!!!  You need to come to terms with the reality that the modern media lies.  Proof is that it never allows climate debates.  Media info is rigged info.
We next go to Vicuna ... in Chile, below here.  Now, the commercial media reported it as having been 99F there, in the middle of wintertime, on Aug 1st, 2023.  The reality is that both the world renown Weather Channel and the equally known Accuweather Corporation reported Vicuna as having had a temperature no higher than 63 degrees Fahrenheit, on August 1, 2023.   This is more proof  that the mainstream media lies to humanity on ... apparently ... a regular basis.

When it comes to discerning the truth about the claim of Vicuna Coquimbo's high temperature as of August 1, 2023, the tale of the tape will be found in [1] the temperatures of the towns surrounding Vicuna, [2] and in the temperatures of the days leading to August 1st, 2023.

BELOW:  Accuweather's official record from June25th, 2023 to August 5th, 2023.  On July 29th, it was 56F there.  That's moderately chilly, for those of you who are used to the metric system.  None the less, on July 30th, it was 60F there.  On July 31st, it was 59F.  This is the weather that compels a person to wear a windbreaker.  In the Fahrenheit System.  80F is quite warm.  86F is hot.  95 is quite hot.  And 110F is the desert.  

All in all, according to the most famous weather networks, CNN lied about South America, in August of 2023.  There are a whole list of "climate lies" that have been told, ever since Al Gore received an award for a movie which is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who studied Atmospheric Physics.  That movie is a chump change joke of zero educational value.

Below is the weather report for August 1st (2023), only.  The report was that Vicuna was only 24C.  Now, 24C = 75F.  That's 24F lower than what the media reported.  In fact, the Weather Channel & Accuweather reports were 36F lower than what the media reported. 

Below:  Towns relatively close to Vicuna

If Vicuna were 99F on August 1st, then nearby towns would have been unusually hot, also.  Let's start with PAIGUANO, 11.8 miles away from Vicuna,.  Surely two cities less than 12 miles apart from each other would have the same weather and temperatures.  Well, according to well-known Accuweather, on the day when the media reported Vicuna as having reached 99 degrees Fahrenheit, Paiguano's high for that same day was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit (17.2C).  In fact, throughout the entire month of July ... and throughout the first five days of August 2023, the temperature at Paiguano did NOT exceed 69F (20.5C) ... according to the same Accuweather meteorological service.  That is a 42-day period.  Where is this 100F heat that CNN said was out there?

Below is what worldweatheronline reported about Paiguano, for Tuesday August 01, 2023.  And it is the same Paiguano which is situated in the Region of Coquimbo, Chile, 12 miles away from Vicuna.
24C = 75F.  That's NOT a heatwave temperature.
One more temperature record of neighboring Paiguano is below.  This one is by the Weather Channel.  Where is all of the End-of-the-World heat that the mainstream media reported?  According to the world famous Weather Channel, nearby Paiguano was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit, and not anywhere near 99F.  Do you yet see how much and how badly today's mainstream media lies?  Do you see how some TV networks need to have their FCC licensing revoked?
Below:  Let's go next to Ovalle which happens to be 49 miles away from Vicuna.  Therefore, if there were a widespread heatwave, Ovalle could have reflected this.  However, it did not do so.  Ovalle was NOT reported as having had any 90+ Fahrenheit day in July or in early August 2023, by any weather website.  In fact, it didn't even register an 80F day, between June 25 to August 5, 2023.  The Weather Channel reported Ovalle as having had a 71F high temp on Aug 1, 2023.
Keep in mind that this is the July 2023 report.  This means that the report for Tuesday, August 1 high temp is in the bottom row here.  The first five days of August are reported in that row.
Next comes Accuweather's report on Ovalle, for the First of August, 2023.  63F on August 1st.  Now, Ovalle may get visited by true heatwave temperatures next week, but it didn't get visited by searing heat in late July or in early August.  The August 1 high temp report is at the bottom row of this calendar, along with the first five days of August.  This is because the calendar below is the one for July 2023.  It's here, instead of the August 2023 calendar, so that you can see that there was no "global boiling" transacting in Ovalle, during July, leading up to August 1st.  As you can see, there was no 100F days there, in July of 2023.  

Below:  Another town near Vicuna is Pisco Elqui.  It's 24 miles from Vicuna.  So, if Vicuna had blazing heat, then so too would have nearby Pisco Elqui.  Well, on August 1st, 2023, Pisco Elqui was said to have been only 63F according to the world famous Weather Channel & Accuweather corporation.   So, where's all the End-of-the-World heat?  
Below: Accuweather reported the exact same temperature for Pisco Elqui as did the Weather Channel.  No 100F temps there, and no debate here.   Only lies from CNN and similar intruders upon the modern mind exist.
Below:  Next is Andacollo Coquimbe.  It's approximately 26 miles from Vicuna.  The Weather Channel claimed that the August 1, 2023 high temperature there was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit.  That amounts to 36 degrees LESS THAN the 99F reported by the mainstream media as having occurred at nearby Vicuna.  
Below: Accuweather concurred with the Weather Channel ... or visa-vera.  Andacolla's high for August 1st, 2023 was only 63F.  Both mainstream weather services agreed that there was no 80+F day and no 90+F day in Andacollo, from late June to Early August.  
Below:  Also near Vicuna is La Serena, 35-40 miles away.  Now, if you have 99F in one town, then you will have nearly as hot a temperature 40 miles away.  The La Serena temp for Aug 1st was 63F, according to the Weather Channel.  That's 36 degrees Fahrenheit lower than what was reported by the mainstream media, for Vicuna.  This is yet another confirmation that the media of today is operated by liars who need to be fired at once.
Below is another weather chart report on the same La Serena, also in calendar form.  It concurs with the chart above.  Both weather agencies claim that it was 63F in La Serena on the day when nearby Vicuna was supposed to have been 99F.
As was previously stated, the extremely famous Carl Sagan designated the measuring rule to be thus:  "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."  And of course, CNN and the other climate hysteria networks showed zero evidence to support their over-the-top claims.  Concerning CNN mentioning the creation of smog in Santiago, the professional meteorologists mentioned Santiago having --- NOT smog.  

Now, the greatest smog disaster ever ... which occurred in Donora Pennsylvania, in 1948 ... occurred due to a thermal inversion in late OCTOBER, when chilly autumn weather was present.  In a thermal inversion, the cold temps are at the surface, and the warmer temps are above the cooler temps.  To attribute a cloud of hovering smog to a heated day shows that the writer knows nothing about basic atmospheric science, even though he/she presents himself/herself as an expert with a degree of knowledge above and beyond "the little people."

"Smog" is a phrase that was originally used to describe the combination of fog & smoke during the days of heavy European coal use.  Heat does NOT cause smog.  Photochemical reactions do, and nitrogen oxides are ingredients involved.  Classical Smog is basically ground-level ozone (surface-level ozone) that needs cooler temps.  Furthermore, when it comes to photochemical smog, sunlight is required for that type of smog to materialize.  More weather reports on Santiago are posed here, in addition to the ones above,  just to prove that CNN is nothing more than a corporation of liars. who need to be put out of business.  This can be done by boycotiing every product advertised on CNN.

Note: 24C = 75F ... 18C = 64F ... 12C = 53F.

Above:  According the this weather agency, it was only 72F on Tuesday, August 1st, 2023.  This proves CNN to have been a liar, in claiming that Santiago was going through never-before-seen "sweltering heat." 

Below confirms CNN's dishonesty, too.  It was 72F in Santiago on August 1st.  No "sweltering heat" was there, contrary to what the liars at CNN stated.  And of course, CNN needs to fire every liar.

Now, for Buenos Aires

The mainstream media specifically mentioned how Buenos Aires got caught in the alleged South American heatwave of 2023 with a heat wave of untold proportions, as well as it reaching into Uruguay in general.  

Okay then, for my first trick, ladies & gentlemen of the jury, I will show you a professional temperature report of none other than hot hot Buenos Aires!!!  Needless to say, it's posted pursuant to the Fair Use Act.  Look for yourself and see ... See how full of crap the modern media and climate activists are.  In thirty-six days out of forty-two days there, there were only high temperatures in the 50s & 60s Fahrenheit.  This is not any kind of climate crisis for that region at any time.

Below is another professional monthly temperature report about hot hot Buenos Aires, dating from June 26 to Aug 5, 2023.  This one is from the world renown Weather Channel.  Look for yourself.  How many hot were there, in August of 2023?
Below:  The city across the river from Buenos Aires.  If Buenos Aires were as hot as the media claimed, then the city across the Rio de la Plata would be as hot.  That city is Colonia del Sacramento, in Uruguay.  In a 42 day period, ranging from June 25 to August 6, 2023, the city across from "hot hot" Buenos Aires had a high in the 50s for 20 of those days, along with a high in the 60s on 15 of those days.  Zero days were in the 80s or 90s.  So, where is this heatwave the media obsessively reported?
Below: Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay once again, for confirmational & concurrence purposes.
Above:  In a 42 day period, 17 days had highs in the 50s, 15 days had  highs in the 60s, and even 2 days had highs in the 40s ... Fahrenheit, of course.
Below: Uruguay most definitely was mentioned in the commercial news reports as having been hit with massive heat this past Winter.  Let's next present the July/Aug temps of the largest city there.  That is Montevideo.  Below are the temps there, as of late June to early August 2023.   It shows the South American heatwave report to have been more dishonest than the 2009 Climategate emails.   Half of the highs were in the 50s Fahrenheit in Montevideo, and almost a third were in the 60s there.  See for yourself, below:
Below is another professional temperature calendar of Montevideo Uruguay, between late June and early August 2023.  In as much, where is this highest-temperature-ever South American heatwave?  

BTW, cities near the Tropics do NOT count, in claiming "global boiling" heat.  This is because the Tropics are the hottest places on Earth, next to valleys at the base of the leeward side of mountain ranges ... and the African Sahara.  Thus, high temps are usual for the Tropics.  Heatwaves involve heat anomalies.
Let's now go toward the center of Uruguay, to Durazno.  Keep in mind that the media claimed that even Uruguay was getting pounded with heat in July and August of 2023.  Between June 25th and August 5th, Durazno had four days with highs in the 40s, 18 days with highs in the 50s,  and 11 days with highs in the 60s ... Fahrenheit.  No 99F days.  No 89F days.  No 79F days.  That's not a climate crisis.  That's NOT Global Boiling.  Look for yourself:
Now, there was a place in central Argentina which did have an unexpected heatwave of note.  That, alone, would have been enough subject matter for the climate hysteria people to have reported.  But apparently, the climate folk had to "pour it on" and expand the perimeters of the heatwave, in order to scare you into submission.  This was apparently done, so that they will get a handsome share of that multi-billion dollar US congressional "climate funding."  

In order to get a large amount of taxpayer-indebted money from the US Congress, you have to deceive people into thinking that the world is coming to an end and it needs you to save it.  Keeping people stupid and easily deceived is absolutely necessary for you.   CNN works hard to accomplish the task of keeping modern humanity completely stupid and utterly mindless.

None the less, any true heat during July & Aug 2023 can all be attributed to El Nino, and NOT to the burning of fossil fuels.  As I illustrated in a previous post, El Nino can also be attributed as the cause of the lack of high velocity Atlantic Hurricanes.  El Nino brings wind shear power to the Atlantic.  And of course, Hurricane Lee was a prime example of El Nino taming a hurricane.  

In as much, climate is extremely intricate.  It's not the simpleton version presented by Al Gore to the English-speaking world in 2006.  That movie was an insult to one's intelligence.  The way of the climate activist is the way of hyper-exaggerating everything so much so that it becomes a ridiculous lie.  The climate activists blow everything out of proportion.  

Now, 2023 did have a "heat anomaly summer" attached to it.  In fact, 2023 had three heat anomaly months in a row.  But, it was not more severe than were the heatwave years of ~2012, ~tragic 2003, ~1988-90, ~1980, when Dallas had 42 consecutive days of 100+ Fahrenheit heat, ~tragic 1976, ~the Hurricane Hazel year of 1954, ~searing hot 1934-36, ~the Arctic ice melting years of 1921-22, ~the undertaker overtime year of 1911, ~the grape vine withering year of 1901, etc.   

And let us not forgot the heat of 1895-96, when the co2 count was quite low, proving that a rise in co2 is NOT the cause of heatwaves. Additional proof that 2023 was not as bad as the other heatwave years of the past 140 years consists in the fact that you ... your friends ... your family ... your acquaintances ... are still alive.  

Plus, 2023 ever-so-coincidentally fits the 11 Year Sunspot Cycle Theory which is still only in "theory status."  And concerning this, the high heat does NOT come in tandum with high sunspot activity.  Yet, there is a reasonable pattern of note ... with the high temperature years which are subject to the direction of the Equatorial ocean current; if weather it is travelling Eastward or Westward, as in "El Nino" v "La Nina."  

Yes, temps are subject to the existence of the Sun.  But, the determining factor of temps throughout the Earth is dependent upon the directional flows of the nearest ocean areas.  Ocean current directions explains why Ireland basically gets moderate/mild winter and why Southern sectors of Greenland remain ice-free all year round.

Then comes the matter of upwelling and down-welling.  The east-west direction of ocean water is not all that matters.  The upward & downward directions of ocean water is a determining factor, too.

In review, 2023 was very close to the heatwave year of 2012, eleven years prior ... as in "Eleven Year Cycle."  In addition, 2023 also had record cold in the first half of the year, as well as seemingly miraculous water replenishment and snowpack accumulation in the American West.  It was a fraud to claim that the American West was undergoing a continued drought in 2023.  Moreover, the American West has Monsoon Season.

The "Iceless Arctic" Prediction ... that goes back to 1988 ... and gets recycled continuously

In review, if the Summer of 2023 were the hottest year in the last 125,000 ... or even 7.5 milllion years ... the Arctic Ocean would have been ice-free at the time of this writing.  

BELOW:   National Snow & Ice Data Ctr / NASA Earth Observatory, as of Aug 11, 2023.

For those of you who are products of the American Public School System, look below and know that you are looking at an official visual report of "a Hell of a lot of ice."  Yet, this year has the twelfth lowest amount of sea ice on top of the Arctic Ocean, since the satellite era began.  This means that ALL late summer sea ice extent volumes were large.  The lowest amount of Arctic ice cover ... in 2012 ... was an area of ice which had a perimeter equal to flying from NYC to Minneapolis to Houston to Miami, and back to New York City.  It was also the size of the subcontinent known as India.  That is a large chunk of ice, even though it was the smallest chuck in recorded history..

Most importantly is that fact that, even if all of the ice on the Arctic Ocean would suddenly turn into water, the sea level rise would be zero . . . just like when the ice cubes in your iced tea completely melt.  No water rises over the top of your glass.

 
Above:  The Arctic as of August 11, 2023.  Now, the daily July average ...  (actually, the 1981-2010 median) ... of Arctic Ocean ice-melt is 27,000 to 33,606 square miles.  The daily Arctic ice loss for July 2023 was 36,000 square miles.  Now, that's not the End of the World.  Yet, [1] politicians seeking to bring money into their districts, [2] grant-seeking scientists, [3] audible activists, and [4] media personnel hyper-exaggerated this recent 6-months-of-daylight in the Arctic, making it sound like the End of the World.  

In review:  At the end of August 2023, the Arctic Sea Ice Extent was 2.15 million square miles.  That's 19 Arizonas ... or 28 South Dakotas ... or 41 Louisianas ... or even 172 Marylands, when laid side by side, like jigsaw puzzle pieces.       
It's no longer a matter of proving the Michael Manns & Al Gores of the era to be wrong.  It's a matter of procuring False Claims Act filings in federal civil actions, as well as grand larceny theft-by-deception indictments in federal criminal actions.  These people have been inciting violence which is now evidenced by the recent "blessings given" by a climate activist to any of today's youths who will commit terrorism in the name of the climate agenda which basically comprises shutting down society . . . shutting down humanity.

And of course, keep in mind that Al Gore NEVER won a Nobel Prize in Physics (science.)  Only the Peace Prize.  Meanwhile, the Nobel Prize that Michael Mann claims to have co-won was also NOT the Nobel Prize in Physics (science.)  And Mann is not a nice Mann.  Peace is not his most viable asset.  Disturbing others tremendously is.  

Michael Mann should win the Anti-Peace Prize.  After all, he is inciting congressional financial irresponsibility and he is inciting violence.  He tries to make people feel desperate and to believe that co2 is actually going to make the world come to an end.  Well, co2 below 150 ppm will result in the extinction of all species ... starting with plant-life.  

At present, according to Hawaii, we are at the 420 ppm range.  The Ordovician Ice Age, by the way, occuring when the co2 level was 4,000 ppm ... over nine times higher than today.  And the explosion of life throughout the oceans of the Earth occurred during the Cambrian Period, when the atmospheric co2 count was 7,000 ppm.  So, there was 7,000 v. 4,000 v. 420.  

The opposite of what Al Gore and the Doomsday Sayers claimed about the effects of high co2 occurred.  They predicted the disintergration of shell fish.  Well, shell fish flourished during the time of the highest count of atmospheric co2 in Planet Earth's atmosphere.  Plus, an ice age occurred during a time when the co2 count was NINE times higher than today.  You have been taught easily provable falsehoods.


Plus, it would only be proper to revoke from CNN its FCC license, for lying as a matter of habit.  After all, its newscasts are propaganda pieces.  They are infomercials.  Those "reports" are basically "in kind" donations to certain candidates of a certain political party.  After all, they are free campaign ads, telling everyone how evil the political opponents are, while stating how just and moral are the politicians benefitting by CNN's completely bogus propaganda pieces.

Procuring the highest extent of punishment allowed by civilized society upon climate con artists engulfed in a racket is needed.  These con artists have gone beyond the Sound Barriers of Obscenity.  They will be coming for your tax money ... your natural gas stove and your natural gas furnace ... and let us not forgot your grocery merchandise in your refrigerator.

War ::: How to conduct one.

Revolutionary France, on July 14, 1789

The first law of society is this:  If you do not have justice, you'll have no peace.  The second law is that, if you liberate others, you'll liberate yourself.  Conversely, if you enslave others, you will end up in a trap of your own construction and simultaneous destruction.

At present, there is an overweight dictator who will sit on his nuclear stockpile until its blown-out from under him, because he doesn't want to die with a bayonet in his anus, as did Muammar  al-Qaddafi.

Also, someone who needed a buffer between NATO and his nation wanted to fight the last war which lasted very shortly.  He is keeping the tradition of massive casualties suffered by his countrymen

In fact, the oceanside dwellers, Barrack Obama & John Kerry, were wrong to have deceived an entire generation into thinking that CO2 is the greatest threat to mankind.   Nuclear armaments are.  In fact, Nuclear Winter is far worse than Global Warming ever could be.

With the aforementioned being the case, you might as well learn how modern wars are actually fought. Below is an outline of Military History and Science 101.  It glosses over that which is known as tactical level and strategic level of military science.

France in July, 155 years later (V-1 Rocket site bombed by the Americans)

 When Your Destiny Places You in the Arena of War ...

1a] The first assignment at the start of every war is that of putting out of commission
       the enemy's eyes & ears, as well as its ground-to-air defenses.  Hitting radar in-
       stallations, surface-to-air missile batteries, and communications posts are always
Objectives #1, 2, and 3 simultaneously.

 1b] Equally important to General Objective #1 is that of disconnecting your enemy
       from his supply lines and drop zones.  It's far more effective to go behind enemy
       lines and end your enemy's ability to manufacture war materiel than to go to the
       front line and bring enemy platoons to their untimely end.  This means that, if the
       enemy is being supplied by another nation, then you have to attack the supplier
       nation, in order to end its ability to supply your main enemy.  If you are not go-
       ing to do this, don't go to war against the nation being supplied from elsewhere.

                             
                              Even decorated combat vets taught us that, in war, there are no winners;
                             only the survivors of incendiary, smoke-flooded, and blood-ridden battles.
                               Keep in mind that those who didn't survive also received medals. 

1c] Of course, the other objective at the start of warfare is to achieve air superiority
       and to prevent your own ships from being blocked at bay.  This necessitates mine
       sweeping technology which involves the need for wooden ships, in order to pre-
       vent those ships from being mine magnets during the mine sweeping process.

1d] Throughout the war, NEVER interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

   2] All wars are won in the Research and Development Department ... in the R&D
       Section.  This includes psychological research and troop training techniques.

  2b] Incidentally, the one war which gave military science a treasure of learning
        in the tactical arts was none other than . . . The Vietnam War.

  3] Never order a logistics unit to drive through a town during war.  Have it go the
      extra distance in circumventing the town, or else it will never drive to anywhere
      again.  Laziness is war leads to death.

4a]  If you see a structure that looks totally foreign and unrecognizable to you, and
       it's certain that it neither contains civilians nor is booby-trapped, either hit it or
       commandeer it and reverse engineer it.  The Nazis had no idea that the metal
       towers over which their pilots flew were the radar installations that alerted the
       British of the return of the German Luftwaffe.  The Nazis ignored the British
       radar installations.

5a]  Shock & Awe is an entire waste of time.  Your enemy will only surrender after
       he is drained and fatigued, not able to take any more of what he has been endur-
       ing.  Wearing down the enemy is more effective than initial shock & awe.  You
       must save your most devastating fire power for either defending yourself at the
       point of attack or for depleting your enemy's stockpiles.  Don't use ordnance
       for intimidation purposes, because it's a waste of time.  Howe tried to do so at
       the start of the American Revolutionary War.  He failed in the process.

5b]  It's an erroneous and arrogant presumption to think that you want your enemy
        to be intimidated and frightened by your arrival, as was publicly stated during
        the George WMD Bush years.  An enemy thinking that it is to face a strong op-
        ponent is one placed in a state of heightened awareness, and this state of aware-
        ness will be deadly for many of your troops.

        Instead, you want your enemy to be entirely unprepared for you.  You want
        your enemy to be lackadaisical when you arrive, thinking that you're nothing
        more than a Gomer Pyle.  Then, when your fire power strikes the enemy's line,
       frustration and bewilderment will rocket throughout his psyche, as he drains his
       emotional strength in trying to handle the fact that something much worse than
       what he anticipated struck for his jugular vein.  The lesson to memorize is this:

        Shock and awe will only work if you were originally underestimated by your
        enemy.  General Sun Tzu was the author of the time-tested military treatise,
        The Art of War.  Within it he stated: 
       
              "Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent.  
                            Though effective, appear to be ineffective."

 5c] Nothing intimidates a person more than realizing that the poody cat he thought
        he saw in the distance turned out to be a full scale lion or a pack of wolves on
        a relentless mission toward him, entirely aware of where he is.  The fear of the
        unknown will drain the strength out of anyone.  When the enemy is emotional-
        ly drained, he loses the flag waving inspiration to fight back.  There upon, you
        win the psychological aspect of the war.  If you have not yet triggered the fear
        of the unknown in your enemy, then you have not yet won the war.

5d]  Achieving air superiority isn't optional in the tactical sense.  The British Navy
        learned this in Norway, as early as 1940.  When air superiority is guaranteed
        by one of the warring parties, the war's eventual outcome is generally ascer-
        tained.

        For example, at recent count, the United States generally has twice as many
        pieces of military aircraft as does China.  Even though China was said to have
        7,400 tanks to the US total of 5,600 or so, the outcome of any U.S./Chino war
        would be ascertained upon America securing its in-range air bases.  The U.S.
        Navy and Marine air units will shred Chinese armored units very effectively.
        A B-52 raid could destroy armored divisions in the spirit of the July 1944
        St. Lo Raid (Operation Cobra.)

  6] If you're escaping a mall or school that is under attack by terrorists, only crawl
       three or so feet away from a concrete, stone, or metal-girded wall.  If you are
       too close to the wall, a ricocheting bullet will hit you.

  7] If you are combating drugged-up terrorists, keep firing at each one, even if you
       already hit each one three times.  Death by gunfire usually comes from the en-
       suing shock to the body.  A drugged-up terrorist doesn't feel the shock.  Thus,
       if drugged-up terrorists are in the equation, a gun won't suffice.  Take posses-
       sion of a baseball bat, club, pipe, umbrella, knife, crowbar, etc.

 8a] If you are going to dock a ship during war, get your sailors off of it, or else you
       will have made them sitting ducks.  During the Falkland Islands/Malvinas war
       between Argentina and England, an exocete missile hit an aluminum clad ship
       at port.  British sailors were harmed and killed.  Aluminum reaches a higher
       temperature than does steel.

 8b] Incidentally, exocet means flying fish in French, and the exocet missile was a
       French invention.  Now, concerning the French ... the joke about them surrend-
       ering at the slightest breeze is a total lie.  Even during WWII, there were the
       Free French forces, commanded by Charles De Gaulle, and they never sur-
       rendered.   Neither did the French underground.

       If you believe that the French are cowards, then how do you explain Napoleon's
       army, the French empire, the Marquis of La Fayette, St. Joan of Arc, General
       Rochembeau,  the Battle of the Marne, Charles Martel, Charlesmagne, Simon
       of Montfort, the Battle of the Somme, and the Francs' victory over Danish Vik-
       ings during the Siege of Paris, as well as the Maginot Line?

 8c] Concerning this, it was in 1940 when the French had a mighty fortification on
       the German border called the Maginot Line.  One big problem.  The Nazi Ger-
       mans avoided the Maginot line, electing to outflank the French, instead.  Thus,
       it was the Germans who were afraid of the French, being that fear is sometimes
       a common-sense thing to follow.  So, the Germans went around French fortifi-
       cations, in circumventing the 500 buildings that comprised the Maginot Line.

       In the mean time, 15% of the French army weren't in the fight, because they
       were manning the Maginot Line that the Germans avoided.  The French did
       not expect the Nazis to invade France through neutral Belgium, thereby vio-
       lating the norms of international law.  In addition, the Ardennes was difficult
       terrain for armored units to cross.  So, the French didn't expect the Germans
       to use their very best troops to cross through the Ardennes.

        A million German troops and 1,500 tanks invaded the parts of France and Bel-
        gium not protected by the Maginot troops.  It was Operation Sichlschnitt, as in
        cutting with a sickle.   It was the ultimate flanking maneuver.  Therefore, it was
        not the French who avoided a fight.  It was the Germans who did.  Ironically
        enough, German military personnel were against starting a war on the Western
        Front.  Some of them attempted to assassinate Adolph Hitler even before the
        Nazi invasion of France began.

   9] Concerning surrounding your enemy, the danger of drawing your enemy into a
        trap is that your enemy is becoming concentrated in the process, with a concen-
        trated fire power ready to be fired upon your forces.  Compacted army units are
        powerful ones, at least for a short period of time.
Fort Pitt was surrounded, under siege on account of Pontiac dishonoring a treaty.
None the less, the Fort Pitt Blockhouse is still standing, meaning that the siege
failed, as the ancient commander, Sun Tzu,  would have forecast.

  10] It's more important to scatter the enemy than to trap and surround him.  A tiger
        whom you back into a corner will pounce you.  An enemy whom you surround
        will have an added incentive to fight, along with a dose of adrenaline and focus
        that your platoons won't have.  Never provide your enemy with the inspiration
        to fight.  Surrounding him will put him in the mindset one gets when he has no-
        thing left to lose.  As Gerald Celente once stated, "When people have nothing
        left to lose, they lose it."

  11] Needless to say, the objective in surrounding the enemy is to get the enemy to
        surrender its surrounded forces.  HoweverI} Governor Paulinus did not have
        the luxury of surrender to a Queen Boudicca who wanted every Roman on the
        British Isle dead,  II} The Francs did not surrender to the Danish Vikings during
        the Siege of Paris,  III} The Austrians did not surrender to the Turks during the
        1529 Siege of Vienna, IV} Jacobite troops did not surrender to Cromwell's army
        during the 1690 Siege of Limerick,  V} Union forces did not surrender to any of
        the Confederate forces at Little Round Top,  VI} The Russians did not surrender
        to the Nazi Germans during the Battle  of Leningrad,  VIII} the Nazi Germans
        did not surrender to the allied troops at Monte Cassino, IX} Japanese forces did  
        not surrender to the Americans during the Battle of Guadalcanal,  X} the 101st
        Airborne Division did not surrender at Bastogne, XI} and the Americans did 
        not surrender to the Viet Cong during the Battle of Khe Sanh.  Concerning the
        Battle of Khe Sanh, General Westmoreland stated:

               Our entire philosophy [is] to allow the enemy to surround us closely, 
               to mass about us, to reveal his troop and logistic routes, to establish 
               his dumps and assembly areas, and to prepare his siege works as ener-
               getically as he desires.  The result [will be] an enormous quantity of
               targets ... ideal for heavy bombers.

12a] General Sun Tzu was the author of the time-tested treatise the Art of War.
        In it he stated, "the psychology of soldiers is to resist when surrounded."
        He then went on to state, "Confront them with annihilation, and they 
        will then survive.  Plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will 
        then live.  When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive 
        for victory."

        Concerning an enemy, he stated,"Do not press a desperate enemy."
        He also stated, "A surrounded army must be given a way out."

        This means that being surrounded is not automatic defeat, while surrounding
        an enemy can backfire.  Actually, when your enemy surrounds you, it's thin-
        ning out its lines.  Pick an arc in that thinned-out circle and fire away, while
        closing your gaps.  If you can break a circle, you just broke the enemy.  You
        then proceed with a flanking maneuver if you are not faster than the enemy,
        and retreat if you are faster and outnumbered ...  if and only if you aren't be-
        ing visited with tactical air strikes against you.

12b] Disconnecting the enemy from its supply lines is partially similar to placing
        him under siege.  Whenever he is separated from his supply lines, the enemy
        is confronted with the choice of surrendering or scattering.  In both instances,
        you win, if you don't surround your enemy.  When you surround your enemy,
        expect him to become relentless and uncontrollable in one arc of the circle
        you have around your enemy.

         Whenever you can do so, manipulate your enemy into thinning out his line,
         always and in every way.  Now, if you are playing Feigning Retreat and are
        draw-
         ing the enemy into a trap, you are initially doing the opposite of thinning out
         enemy lines.   However, if you give your enemy the incentive to gain ground
         fast, he will be thinning out his line in the overly zealous pursuit of you.

12c] In the same mind set, when you break through an enemy's line, expect tactical
        air fire to rain down upon you.  This means that the only viable alternative for
        you is to outflank the enemy and get so close to him that you are literally in en-
        emy fox holes, inviting a lot of friendly fire casualties.  In order to get out of a
        tactical air strike (after breaking out of an encirclement), you will literally have
        to take some of your enemy soldiers prisoner, so as to provoke a temporary
        truce.  However, if you have already gained air superiority, you will have no
        problem breaking out.  Thus, the reason why the Battle of the Bulge was
        an American success was because the allies already had air superiority
        over the Germans.

13a] When it comes to breaking an enemy's circle, a relatively comparable situation
        occurred during the American Civil War.  Union batteries would first target a
        confederate artillery unit or a single canon and fire away.  When the single can-
        on or artillery unit would get put out of action, the Union battery would go to its
        next target.  It was the systematic decimation of artillery units.

13b] Alexander the Great did something similar in battle.  He took a chariot unit and
         traveled along the face of an enemy phalanx.  As soon as he saw an opening, he
         attacked and broke the opened wedge even wider.  You can break a circle in a
         similar fashion, when you are surrounded.  If you get defeated while surrounded,
         it was only because you faced superior numbers that were layered.  It wasn't be-
         cause of being surrounded, per se.  Being surrounded, in itself, is not guaranteed
         defeat.  Bastogne confirmed this.  However, during a breakout, look up at the
         sky and respond accordingly.

 13c] Incidentally, Alexander the Great was the ultimate military genius.

 13d] Surrounding the enemy involves placing the enemy under siege, and in today's
         technological societies, sieges are not advisable.  This is due to the existence of
         air drops, air support, and air cavalry forces.  Thus, it is even less expected for
         military forces to surrender when surrounded in the modern era.

13e] If a child runs up to your unit and pleads for you to quickly go to his town, to
        defuse a bomb in the middle of the street, expect to be ambushed.  This literal-
        ly happened in Afghanistan.  The general rule is that, if the local citizens aren't
        bearing gifts, they are bearing trouble.  Even at that, don't readily eat food that
        is offered to you by a native of the land you invaded.  The other rule is that, if
        the official mayor doesn't approach you with an official request, then expect to
        be set up for the kill.

13f] However, if the townsfolk, in a collective effort, offer your soldiers something
        such as bed sheets during winter, then chances are that they are your friends.
        This literally happened during the Battle of the Bulge.  American soldiers were
        clad in white bed sheets, compliments of the nearby villagers; of camouflaging
        sheets the color of the snow that surrounded them.

14a] Don't be foolish enough to drive through a ravine.  The general rule is that, if
        you can see Terra Firma above you, something will be hurled down upon you
        by the enemy.  Taking the high ground is a general rule. Taking the low ground
        is asinine, unless you are placing the enemy under siege and are trying to get
        him to thirst to death.  As was previously stated, in this era of air cavalry, air
        drops, and air support, performing a seize is very very very limited in its abil-
        ity to be effective.

14b] As a general rule, the air force is to be regarded as soldiers on high ground.

15a] Always approach battle in wolf pack formations.  If you thin out your lines,
        you lose.  This happened to Czechoslovakia in WWII.  Think phalanx forma-
        tion or wolf pack formation.  If you don't have the numbers, then your war
        will be an attack on the enemy's supply installations behind the lines, in raid
        after raid.  Needless to say, if you approach battle in wolf pack form, you will
        still have to cover your flank, as was the case with Patton and Montgomery in
        Sicily.  He who gets outflanked loses the battle.  This happened to a thorough-
        ly incompetent military commander named George Washington during the
        Battle of Brooklyn Heights.

15b] It is of the utmost importance for you to know that a Wolf Pack Formation is
        NOT a Sardine Formation or a Bowling Pin Formation.  If soldier are too tight-
        ly packed, one hand grenade could put them out of action.

15c] If you're en route to the main front and pass a solitary house containing enemy
        troops, bypass it, lest you lose a lot of ordinance and soldiers in attempting to
        take it.  Henry Knox learned this the hard way during the American Revolution.



16a] If you are in a foreign nation, fighting an army foreign to the land where you
        find yourself, the people there are likely to befriend you.  If you're in a foreign
        nation, fighting the army native to that nation, expect the people there to regard
        you as the enemy and not as the liberator, even if you're liberating them from a
        dictator.  This is because their relatives are in the army you are attacking.

        For example, the Belgians were friendly to the Americans who were fighting the
        German army on land where the German military did not belong.  In contrast, the
        Iraqi people were not friendly to the American GI's who came to fight the Iraqi
        army who was native to Iraq.

16b] The George Walker Bush administration mistakenly assumed that the invasion
         in Iraq in 2003 was going to be equivalent to invading France and then Holland
         in 1944.  The administration assumed that the Iraqi people would welcome the
         American and British forces the same way that the French and Dutch welcomed
         allied forces during World War II.  The difference is that, in WWII, American
         troops fought an army foreign to France and Holland.  In Iraq, American and
         British ground forces fought an army native to Iraq.  Years of sabotage were
         guaranteed to occur in Iraq against the occupying American and British forces.

16c] Concerning what was erroneously presumed to have been the end of the Second
         Iraq War, in 2003:

                         If soldiers exit their tanks and proceed to walk away, 
                                the solders only do so, to fight another day.
                         There is a difference between retreat and surrender.

         The lesson is that, if your enemy doesn't physically perform an outward act of
         surrender in front of you, it didn't surrender.  He will continue to fight you, in
         the shadows, via sabotage.  The war didn't end until eight years after Bush II
         claimed that the "mission was accomplished." 

17a] During the Cold War, the Soviet Union high command didn't think in terms of
        Shock and Awe.  It's military policy was literally Brute Force.  Such a thing re-
        sults in a lot of casualties on your side and on the enemy side.  Therefore, if the
        United States and the Soviet Union would have gone to war with each other in
        the 1980's, NATO's high command would have drawn Soviet land forces into
        an array of killing field scenarios, thereby making the B-52 bomber heavily in
        demand and heavily in peril.  The Soviet high command would have respond-
        ed by firing missiles at the U.S. air base in Spain (Diego Garcia.)

17b] No matter how Ronald Reaganish and Rush Limbaughish you are, do not be
        deceived:  War between the United States and the Soviet Union would have
        been guaranteed mutual destruction, resulting in Madd Maxx types of societies.
        And remember, both Mitt Romney and Rush Limbaugh were cowardly chicken
        hawks who hid from combat service during war time.  They  were the opposite
        of experts.  In addition, even drugs conquered Limbaugh.  None the less, World
        War IV would have been fought with sticks and stones, after a Soviet/American
        World War III.

17c] The NATO forces in Europe were originally designed to survive for six weeks.
        Then, in the 1980s, the life expectancy of a NATO unit, in the event of war, was
        22 to 32 minutes.

17d] Plus, the mark of a dictatorship is that it's battle plan is to lose its first wave of
         soldiers.  This is a plan of mutual attrition.  In a dictatorship, even the citizens
         are expendable. 

18a] More important than hitting the enemy front line is the assignment of destroy-
        ing or even commandeering enemy supplies.  Charles Martel did this in France.
        So too did the 8th Army Air Force do this in the European Theater of Operation.
        In fact, before the arrival of D-Day, there were numerous air raids upon Nazi
        railroad yards.  This was done, so that the Nazis wouldn't be able to quickly
        send reinforcements to Normandy's coastline.  The objective in attacking rail-
        road yards was not to disrupt train tracks.  The objective was to destroy the
        ordnance, vehicles, and even soldiers in the boxcars, on the flats, and in the
        cabins.        


18b] The bombing of the Hamm marshaling yards, done shortly after the cessation of
         Operation Market Garden, was done so that the Nazis couldn't readily send re-
         inforcements into Holland.  Bombing truck assembly plants, armament factories,
         and fuel supply depots is what wins wars.  Uprooting landing strips is equally as
         important.  Targeting civilian neighborhoods is a waste of time and ordnance.

18c] It was repeatedly stated that, if Hitler immediately sent all available Panzer units
        to Normandy Beach on D-Day, the Nazis would have pushed the allied forces
        back into the English Channel.  This is a complete lie.  If all of the available Pan-
        zer units roared toward Normandy Beach on D-Day, they all would have been
        decimated by the 8th and 9th Army Air Forces the same way in which the Pan-
        zer Lehr Division was decimated at St. Lo, France, on July 25, 1944.  The war
        would have ended much sooner.

18d] Concerning the St. Lo Air Raid, Lieutenant-General Fritz Bayerlein, recounted
        the event, as was witnessed from his German position.   Concerning this account,
        his mention of heavy bombs was a reference to that fact that the numerous small
        bombs which assailed the troops and tanks that day were dropped out of heavy
        bombers: 

     "The entrenched infantry was either smashed by the heavy bombs while
       in their foxholes and dugouts or else they were killed and buried by the
       blast.  Infantry and artillery positions were blown up.   The bombed area
      was entirely transformed into a field covered with craters, where no hu-
      man was left alive.   Tanks and guns were destroyed  and overturned,
      unable to be recovered, because all roads and passages were blocked."   

     "The shock effect was nearly as strong the physical effect"  ...  "Some of
       the men got crazy and were unable to carry out anything.  I was person-
       ally in the center of the bombardment and could experience the tremen-
       dous effect.   For me, one who, during this war, was at every theater of
       operation, and who had been assigned to the places of the main efforts,
       this was the worst thing I ever saw."

       Bayerlein summarized the aftermath in the following way: 

      "My front lines looked like the face of the moon, and at least 70% of my
        troops were out of action - dead, wounded, crazed, or numb." 

18e] Now, it's important to note that the shock effect came from the fact that the Nazi
         panzer unit originally underestimated the 8th and 9th Army Air Forces.  You see,
         the day before was the original date of the air raid, but it was canceled when most 
         of the bomb groups were in mid-flight.  Such a cancellation was known as a RTB 
         Order; a Return to Base Order.  This meant that very few bombs dropped on the
         Panzer division on July 24.  

         As a result, the panzer troops assumed that the 8th & 9th Army Air Forces
         offered little challenge.  Then, when the two U.S. air  forces came back the 
         following day and converged upon the Nazis in full force, the vast majority 
         of the panzer troops couldn't handle it.  They were unprepared for what was 
         to come.   Therefore, Sun Tzu was completely correct in having stated, 

        "Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent.  Though ef-
          fective, appear to be ineffective."  On the day it was decimated, the Panzer
         Lehr Division thought that the U.S. tactical &strategic air forces would be
        ineffective.

 18f] Famed war correspondent and eventual war casualty, Ernie Pyle, witnessed
         the July 25th air raid from the American encampment: 

      "And then a new sound gradually droned into our ears.   The sound 
        was deep and all encompassing, with no notes in it --- just a gigantic 
        faraway surge of doom-like sound.   It was the heavies." ...

      "I've never known a storm or a machine or any resolve of man that 
        had about it the aura of such ghastly relentlessness." ...

" ...  and then the bombs came.  They began ahead of us as a crackle of
        popcorn and almost instantly swelled into a monstrous fury of noise
        that seemed surely to destroy all the world ahead of us.  From then
        on,  for an hour and a half that had in it the agonies of the centuries,
        the bombs came down." ...

      "By now everything was an indescribable cauldron of sound.  Individual
        noises did not exist.  The thundering of motors in the sky and the roar
        of the bombs ahead filled all the space (spatial capacity) for noise on
        earth.   Our own artillery was crashing all around us, yet we could
        hardly hear it."

        The bottom line is that, if all available Panzer units stormed toward the Nor-
         mandy Coastline on June 6, 1944, the July 25th St. Lo news report would
         have been the June 7th and 8th report coming from the Normandy Coastline.

18g] The July 25th air raid was known as Operation Cobra, and the greatest lesson
         that it taught was the many smaller bombs are far more devastating than a few
         large bombs of the same total tonnage.  Some of the Eighth Army Air Force
         bombers only carried 20 lb. fragmentation bombs @ 240 bombs per bomber,
         while other ones went to St. Lo with a load of 260 lb fragmentation bombs
         @ 20 bombs per bombers.  Yet other ones carried 100 lb demolition bombs
         @ 38 bombs per bomber.  Neither 500 lb bombs, nor 1,000 pounders, nor
          2,000 lb bombs were used that day.

19a] Concerning WWII, it was George Patton's doctrine to never never never dig
         in.  It was Charles DeGaulle's doctrine also.   Think outflank, outflank, out-
         flank, or think deplete the enemy's supply.   If you dig in, you will not deplete
         the enemy's supply.  The enemy's supply of ammunition will deplete your dug
         in troops.

19b] The bottom line is this 

          When you destroy the enemy's war-making machine, the war is over.

20]  The Nazis were the first ones to place a jet-propelled fighters into the air.  The
        first jet fighter in history was the ME262.  Yes, it was much faster than a P-51,
        but all of the WWII jet fighters were shot down.  This is because, in order for
        them to return to base, they had to coast downward.   They were only jet pro-
        pelled while going up.

21a]  Do not target any civilian area of any kind.  If you strike a civilian target on
         purpose, you will awaken a lion of vengeance.  The city of Hamburg only
         burned because of the bombing of  London.  Therefore, always always al-
         ways accommodate your enemy with a civilized incentive for ceasing
         hostilities.  You do this by giving him a civilian sanctuary to where he
         can return.

21b] In addition, a bombed-out civilian area can become a fortress of rubble for the
        enemy, enabling for a roster of future Sniper Hall-of-Fame inductees.  For ex-
        ample, the Bombing of civilian sectors in Leningrad and Monte Casino result-
        ed in a lot of casualties after the bombings thereof.

21c]  In order to prevent a shooting war, keep talking at the negotiating table, especi-
         ally if you and your enemy do little more than yell at each other.  Keep in mind
         the observation made centuries ago by Sun TzuIn modern terms, those who
         saber rattle are poised to cower, while those who speak humbly are poised to
         attack.

21d] The first sign of eminent war is silence.  After all,  George Bush II refused to
         talk to the Saddam Hussein who actually didn't have the weaponry that the
         Bush administration claimed him to possess.   Should the negotiators at the
         conference table act like a dysfunctional family during the holidays, let them
         keep talking and you will prevent the occurrence of something known as a
         daily body count.

22a] Treat every enemy prisoner of war as either a captured king or a cast member
         in a Shakespearean tragedy.  A man or a woman whom you treat kindly will
         not be inclined to hang you from a noose after the war.  Do NOT water board
         your enemy.  Let your enemy know that there are nice guys on the other side
         who will treat him or her humanely should he/she think of surrendering.  Your
         goal is to get the enemy to stop firing at you.  Such an enemy, after the war,
         might even become your ally.

22b]  Chapter II of  the Art of War prescribes that captured prisoners be treated
          well and respectfully.  This is contrary to the failed and fatally expensive wat-
          er boarding Bush II war years which cost trillions of dollars in term of lives,
          the physical health of many vets, and the psychological health of military per-
          sonnel, as well as the cost to the Iraqi's in their land being arrayed with a de-
          pleted uranium. 

22c]  One more thing:   Make it appear that you are impressed that your captured
          enemy was man enough to face you, if he were captured in battle.  If your en-
          emy looked for you, act as if he is a wearied pilgrim looking for sanity in the
          world.  You don't want your captured enemy to be intimidated by you.  You
          want him to feel sorry for you, as if you have too many burdens in life.  Your
          want the Stockholm Syndrome to take effect.  If your captured enemies is
          made to fear you, it will be equivalent to surrounding your enemy, and you
          never ever should do that in warfare.  At the end of every war is the peace
          treaty.  Begin the motion to peace during the war.

22d]  In order to make escape difficult for your prisoners of war, you need to make
         the perimeter of your P.O.W. camp a deep trench of sand.  Prisoners can dig
         tunnels from earth effectively.  However, making a tunnel in a sand pit takes
         engineering skills and added materials.  In addition, make life in the prison
         camp so nice that the prisoners won't want to leave it.

 23] Require all of your officers to eat exactly what the troops in the theaters of
        battle are eating.  In this way, high command, local command, and field com-
        mand will know how much physical strength and alertness the soldiers have.
        Do NOT be a miser when it comes to your soldiers' cuisine.  Rather, think in
        terms of perish able food vs. non-perishable items.

        Let it be repeated:  No gourmet treats for your officers during military opera-
        tions, and NEVER while in a theater of war, unless your front line troops, sail-
        ors, and airmen get the exact same thing.

  24] The most audacious military maneuver in history was when Napoleon ordered
         his cavalry to enter the Austrian trenches.  In second place would be Alexander
         the Great's attack on Tyre.  In third place would be the scaling of the Cliffs of
         Omaha Beach.  That act placed D-Day in the "You gotta be nuts" Department.
         All that the American forces had to do was change course and land on Sword
         Beach.  The British liberated it quickly.  The Americans could have liberated
         Omaha Beach from behind.

  25] One of  the reasons why Napoleon lost at Waterloo was because it rained the
         night before the battle.  His artillery used something known as canister shot.
         It didn't explode until it hit the ground.  This meant that the mud was buffer-
         ing the explosions of anti-personnel ball bearings and pellets.  It were as if
         Napoleon had no artillery on that day.

         Plus, Napoleon attack later than usual.  He wanted to attack the British as
         soon as possible, because the Prussians were on their way.  Napoleon's army
         was on the verge of breaking the line of the army of Arthur Wellesley, the
         first duke of Wellington.  Wellesley then ordered his remaining troops to
         lie down, slightly beyond the ridge of the hill where the fight was soon to
         be decisive.  This place was known as the Hougoumont farm.  The French
         were then ambushed when they went over the crest of the hill there.  The
         area had pine trees that were tapped regularly for their gum and turpentine.
         Napoleon sent 14,000 troops to the Hougoumont farm, while Wellesley
         kept 12,000 British troops in the area, to defend it.
        
         In addition, the cavalry performed a flanking maneuver that was misunder-
         stood by the infantry.  The infantry thought that the cavalry was retreating.
         The French infantry then fled in retreat.  Napoleon's greatest error was leav-
         ing the battlefield and not calling the play by play orders.  His greatest mis-
        fortune was that the Prussians arrived at 4:30 in the afternoon, requiring the
        French to fight one battle on two fronts.  Their arrival was inevitable.

  26] Napoleon's navy lost the Battle of Alexandria (the Battle of the Nile), because
        the British were smart enough to park close to the coast, thereby making one
        side of each ship unable to be attacked by the French navy.

27a] George Washington was an incompetent military commander, dating back to
         the French & "Indian" War.  One of the few reasons why the Americans out-
         lasted the British was because the Comte de Rochambeau was in America,
         convincing Washington to not be so foolish as to fight the British in New
         York. Yorktown was to be the place of destiny, but not until the French fleet
         came north during the Caribbean hurricane season.

27b] Even though Daniel Morgan's victory at Cowpens helped greatly, if it weren't
          for the French navy, the Comte de Rochambeau, and the money provided by
          King Louis XVI, there would have been no United States of America.  Amer-
          ica owes everything to the French, in that department of history.

27c] During the Battle of Yorktown, American troops repeatedly shouted "Rush on
        Boys"  as their battle cry.  It was a play on words, concerning Rochambeau.

27d] The Comte de Rochambeau was Jean Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur.  He was
         the youngest son of his family.  King David was the youngest son of his family,
         too, as was the Joseph of Egyptian fame.  Simon V of Montfort, victor of the
         Battle of Lewes & originator of the parliamentary concept, was also the young-
         est son, as was Andrew Jackson, victor of the Battle of New Orleans and her-
         alded capturer of Pensacola.  General Robert E. Lee was the youngest son of
         major-general Henry Lee.  Even Alfred the Great, along with Peter the Great,
         were youngest sons.  Going one step further, General Norman Schwarzkopf
         was the youngest of three children.

27e] In light of this pattern, there is an instinct possessed by the youngest male of a
        family that the other males don't possess.  This makes the youngest the ultimate
        military strategist.  The youngest male knows what it is to be the little one.  He
        has the survival instinct, as well as an instantaneous defensive mechanism.  In
       fact, there is also the matter of having observed the family who came before him
       and learning from its influence.  The eldest in a family might be able to give ef-
       fective financial advice, but it's the youngest male who will prevail in the most
       brutal of wars ... according to the pattern found in history.

        However, this does not apply to the youngest brothers of men who already were
        in military power.  The prime example would be Napoleon Bonaparte's young-
        est brother, Jérôme, who misinterpreted his orders at Waterloo, and the lacked
        the needed reinforcements to defend Westphalia, in another military conflict.
        None the less, he had a prestigious political career.

        Concerning Napoleon Bonaparte, he was the fourth of eleven children, and
        he entered military schooling at the age of ten.  Dwight Eisenhower was a
        middle child.  Polk, the American/Mexican War president, was the eldest.
        Harry Truman was the eldest also, and he was a WWI artillery officer dur-
        ing the end of the war.  In addition, Paul Gilbert, the Marquis of La Fayette,
        was an only child who become a wealthy orphan relatively early in life.  So,
         the youngest child tendency is only a very broad generality which did have
         in its ranks notable military figures.

        As a point of interest, a grandson of Napoleon Bonaparte's youngest brother
        was Secretary of the United States Navy and United States Attorney General.
        In 1908, he founded the prototype of the FBI.  Charles Joseph Bonaparte was
        his name.

28a] The greatest outnumbered military victory in history was logically the Battle
        of Watling Street, in 61 C.E., when governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus' army
        of 8,000 to 12,000 Romans completely decimated Queen Boudicca's army of
        60,000 to 80,000 or more in southern England.  Roman pila (javelins) were de-
        signed to bend as soon as they hit enemy shields, thereby taking away from the
        enemy its ability to defend itself from Roman short-swords, aka gladioli.  The
        Romans hurled two volleys at Boudicca's advancing army.  The Romans kept
        repelling each attack and then counterattacked.  It turned out to be a massacre
        upon the attacking British.

28b] The lesson learned is that, if your initial military game plan fails, stop attempt-
         ing it.  No one in Britain took on the Roman legions until the early 400s.  The
         ancient Rome Empire did not fall until September 4, 476 C.E.

  29] The fatal error of the Confederate forces at Gettysburg was attacking Little Big
        Top and then sending in Pickett's soldiers from the right, in an advertised attack.
        The Southern forces simply needed to start marching east toward Washington
        DC, in order to bring the Union forces out of their protective embankments.

 30] Never disband a conquered army.  This was Bush's fatal error in Iraq.  Make it
        as if your enemy combatants just became your new allies.  In this way, you will
        keep track of men who would otherwise become terrorists, firing at you from
        the shadows.  Keep in mind that you went to war against a government whose
        officials held its military personnel on puppet strings.  When the enemy govern-
        ment or targeted dictator is no longer in power, you need let surviving military
        units know that they have been released from the puppet strings.  Conquered
        troops still need to be called to roll call.

 31] Any society who understands the following is in possession of great wisdom:
       War is a punishment from God for mankind's sins. 

       Sincerely,

       Patrick Pontillo,  youngest son of an authentic liberator of France
