NASA: Never a straight answer (Hebrew for beguile, deceive)

They never got any from the moon, all the ones they claimed never passed testing.

"Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure." - Robert LeFevre

Examples: 1987: NASA’s James Hansen predicted that the world would be 3C warmer by 2020. Wrong! Global Average Temperature was about 0.44C higher in 2020. 1978: The concentration of atmospheric CO2 to double by 2020. Wrong! Levels increased by 23%. 2009: China to cut emissions 40-45% below 2005 level by 2020; India to cut 20-25%. Wrong! 2020 Reality: China’s 2020 emissions ~85% HIGHER than 2005; India’s ~150% HIGHER. 2008: Snow on Kilimanjaro to vanish by 2020. Wrong! 2020 reality: snow still there. 1986: EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) predicts 2 feet of sea level rise for Florida by 2020. Wrong! 2020 Reality: Sea level rise + subsidence in South Florida since 1986 has been less than 4 inches. 2000: By 2020 snow will be so unfamiliar, people won’t know how to deal with it. Wrong! 2020 Reality: It still snows in the UK, the Met Office still forecasts snow and in 2020 Scotland boasted of its fleet of snow trucks being ready for action. 2000: Global warming will ruin Pacific Island Nations economies by 2020. Wrong! 2020 Reality: As of 2019, Tuvalu, for example, was enjoying an unprecedented 6-year economic growth spurt. 2004: Pentagon says climate change-caused resources shortages to cause global war by 2020. Wrong! 2020 Reality: Nations largely at peace. Planet only at war with Coronavirus. 2013: Arctic ice-free by 2020. Wrong! 2020 Reality: The prediction was 3.9 million square kilometres wrong at the annual minimum in September 2020. 2009: Glaciers gone from Montana Glacier National Park by 2020. Wrong! 2020 Reality: What are gone are the signs claiming Glacier National Park glaciers would be gone by 2020. Mat 5:18

For the first time, individual hackers could afford to have home machines comparable in power and storage capacity to the minicomputers of ten years earlier, Unix engines capable of supporting a full development environment and talking to the Internet. -Eric S. Raymond


I love it! I something like that on my "about page" http://crn.hopto.org/about/

Move your mouse around and it will follow you.


“The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership, but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria, Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.” -Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy http://crn.hopto.org/media/#government


I do not care what other think about it. I care what God's words say.

History, as such, turns out to be man groping forward, killing his fellow man in an effort to attain a form of government where he will not have to kill his fellow man. -Peter S. Ruckman" http://crn.hopto.org/#kjv


Yes, more fires, more environmental damage from Lithium mining, more lies... If they can not operate without government subsidies, then they should not be in business. Musk is a front: http://crn.hopto.org/media/biography/#musk
