Arrivederci
Touch wood, off to NZ this afternoon
I managed to snag a residence visa last week so, provided I don't get caught committing any acts of genocide before teatime, I should be good to go
There'll be few, if any posts, on this blog probably for at least a couple of months
Thanks again to all who've contributed and engaged in some of the chats we've had. Hopefully we'll meet again - if not here then somewhere else; here or maybe here for instance
Peace
Stef

Go Go Go!!!
Don't look back, and enjoy.
Thanks for all the insight.
looking forward to all the reptilian 2012 news from t' other side of the bubble
hey, maybe the view of Persephone-planet x will be better from there ?
safe journey and hopefully a happy return some day
There was a programme on BBC radio 4 about 45mins ago about immigration,they interviewed a Scottish guy who was wanting to move to wait for it,New Zealand!he could not make the move(he´d been accepted) as he was having trouble selling his house.
Anyway all the best to you.Thanks for the great blog(i´ve been plugging it over at wrh)
Rob
Fare thee well intrepid Conspiraloon fellow and good fortune to you.
Hope to see you over here occasionally too.
Conspiraloon Youth Movement to the fore!
You've got the right idea escaping Littlerichard's Britain.

Good bye, and godspeed ye!
I echo the sentiments of fellow loons, drunks and insomniacs here.
May your 'hijrah' to NZ be a productive one.
Just like when the Ant went quiet for a bit, the web is is poorer place in your absence.
Bon Voyage! oh man of thought.
There are more and more cracks in the dominant paradigm! Slight, but visible. See below for reference. Cooling oceans? Warming Oceans? Old computer models are right? Or the new ones? What is it?
.
Global warming may stop, scientists predict The study predicts the IPCC's 0.3ºC temperature rise for the next decade may not happen
Researchers studying long-term changes in sea temperatures said they now expect a "lull" for up to a decade while natural variations in climate cancel out the increases caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
The average temperature of the sea around Europe and North America is expected to cool slightly over the decade while the tropical Pacific remains unchanged.
However, the effect of rising fossil fuel emissions will mean that warming will accelerate again after 2015 when natural trends in the oceans veer back towards warming, according to the computer model.
Noel Keenlyside of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences, Kiel, Germany, said: "The IPCC would predict a 0.3°C warming over the next decade. Our prediction is that there will be no warming until 2015 but it will pick up after that."
He stressed that the results were just the initial findings from a new computer model of how the oceans behave over decades and it would be wholly misleading to infer that global warming, in the sense of the enhanced greenhouse effect from increased carbon emissions, had gone away.

.
The top few hundred metres of the world's oceans have warmed 50 per cent faster than previously thought during the past half century, a discovery that has solved an enduring puzzle about the world's rising sea levels.
"Our results are important for the climate modelling community because they boost confidence in the climate models used for projections of global sea-level rise resulting from the accumulation of heat in the oceans."

Happy birthday Stef
Bollocks, I was sure I posted that last one at 11:58 - still - the email should have got to you on time.
Take care Stef.
Stef,
I wish you a good start in NZ. I will miss your posts.
I don't believe that you'll stop posting, so no goodbyes from me. Have fun.
Just in case you have too much time on your hand and need a blog to read about military&security&terrorism in the US and the world:

@parabellum
all good links, thx
@gyg3s
cheers
not stopping, just pausing
@shahid
thank you
yes, your mail did
My latest that may or may not be of any interest. I think I bought the book on a recommendation by Stef.
Welcome back Stef :)
Oh lovely for you, congratulations, at last. Mrs vern will be delighted.
We all need visitor passes when you get settled in.
And happy birthday from me, too.
Love from sunny Durham. x
@Brenda - when is Durham ever sunny? The only places worth visiting are the libraries; one on Palace Green, the other up by the New Inn.
Howto. Our lesson today is "Solving the banking crisis":

Gary North is berating conspiraloonery yet refining aspects of the creed. "Economic Fascism and the Bailout Economy, while Nigel Lawson smells the coffee.
so stef,
if you are out there how is NZ compared to London??feed back please!
yup, in NZ sure enough
am currently embracing lots of uncertainty and patchy internet access
have learned two things so far...
1. NZ could well be the first country to make bit torrenting illegal
2. Moonshine production is, however, perfectly legal provided you don't sell it
STOCKHOLM -- The Pirate Bay trial wrapped up here Tuesday amid a media circus as attorneys for the four accused founders of the world's most notorious BitTorrent tracker proclaimed their clients' innocence to charges of facilitating copyright infringement.
Is the moonshine issue to comfort those whose internet access has plummeted from 'stress free' heights to 'stress thee' depths?
Potentially no torrenting either.
Dun worry. Where there's a will, there's a way.
I think I speak for all of us when I say we miss your internet presence mate.
Taleb and Roubini on CNBC
Via the exile
Talking of the Exile, have you read about, "Mobile Execution Bus Fleets: The Solution To America’s Banker Problem" those Chinese are one step ahead of us as usual.
Stef, if you're around, whats your take on the shooting at the military base in NI? Another false flag op to justify more covert and overt operations there? A reminder that we're fighting an infinite war on terror?
