Forecasters predict El Nino due to current weather patterns over the Eastern Pacific - possible end of California's recent drought?
Weather patterns over the Eastern Pacific may be setting up for an El Nino pattern this fall, possibly portending an end to California's recent drought, it was reported today.
The last two El Nino weather patterns saw nasty floods in Southern California and gigantic snowpacks in the Sierra Nevada. But scientists caution that some El Ninos are dry in California.
And Caltech's venerable climate expert, Bill Patzert, expressed caution to the San Diego Union-Tribune, and said he doesn't "see the white horse charging over the horizon to give us a good drenching."
Longterm forecasts generated at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography indicate that an El Nino is forming, as the conditions seem ripe for an increase in sea temperatures and ocean levels off Peru, climate researcher David Pierce told the newspaper.
"We are forecasting an El Nino this year," said Pierce. "Hopefully, it will bring a little more rain, not only to San Diego but to the entire Southwest.
"That would be quite nice," he told the Union-Tribune.
That forecast was echoed by the lead scientist at the Climate Prediction Center in Maryland, as well as the University of Washington's Climate Impacts group.
And the forecasts come as the region is in the midst of an unusual summer weather pattern, with winter-style cold pressure systems dropping significant rainfall during what is usually the driest month of the year.
El Ninos are the name given by Peruvian fishermen to a periodic migration of tropically-warm water to the Eastern Pacific, where water is usually cold because of polar flows. They have sometimes caused rainfall to double or triple from normal levels in California.
Within the past few days, meteorologists around the world have sounded the alarm about a possible El Nino. The forecasts include possible droughts in Australia, more typhoons to hit the Philippines, and a decrease in Atlantic Coast hurricanes making landfall on the U.S.
Five years of drought have left major water storage lakes in California half-full, and the governor has proclaimed a statewide drought emergency. But strange weather patterns have left full storage lakes to the east, in Arizona, and the deserts of Riverside County are green this June, when they are usually seasonally brown.
"If winds and currents start working in concert, the ocean could warm rapidly," said Nathan Mantua at the Washington school. "A powerful El Nino on the level of the 1997-98 event is possible."
Charleston Post Courier - Charleston,SC,USA | Powerful waterspout forms over Cooper River
Click on picture to view enlarged view on news websiteAaron Smith, manager of Patriots Pictures, which does souvenir photography at the USS Yorktown, captured this image when the water began to rise up from the Cooper River and a spout formed this afternoon.
A powerful waterspout formed near the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge this afternoon, prompting witnesses to grab cellular phones and digital cameras to capture the vortex.
The waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, took shape at around 1:40 p.m. on the Cooper River north of the bridge. Meteorologists estimated its winds blew between 50 to 70 miles per hour.
Witnesses said the spout moved for 10 or 15 minutes before it dissipated. It never touched land. No injuries were reported.
Aaron Smith is the manager of Patriots Pictures, which does souvenir photography at the USS Yorktown. He considers himself an amateur photographer, but he knew he was seeing something special when the water began to rise up from the Cooper River and a spout formed from the dark clouds.
He grabbed his camera and began snapping pictures. He’s waited for years to see a waterspout.
“I’m elated I had a chance to capture nature in a manner you rarely get to see around here,” said Smith, who still was giddy with excitement several hours later. “I was just excited to see a waterspout.”
On the other side of the river, Seabreeze Marina manager Trey Hayes was busy launching boats when a co-workers spotted the spout. He said the water rising from the river looked like smoke and made it appear as though something was on fire. Suddenly, the spout became bigger and more defined. Nearby boaters came in to tie up their boats and get out of the water, and everyone sat and watched it. The waterspout continued to grow fatter and fatter until it disappeared, right before the bridge, he said.
“I’ve never really seen one before,” he said. “It just popped right up. It was awesome.”
Richard Thacker, senior meteorologist with the local office of the National Weather Service, said light winds, air circulation and a thunderstorm created ripe conditions for a waterspout to form. Waterspouts usually are fairly weak and short-lived, and most dissipate before coming ashore.
“This one was pretty impressive looking,” Thacker said.

KSPR.com | Friday 11:00pm - WE CAUGHT A TORNADO!
What a fantastic day! That's right we caught a tornado today. After our morning briefing that described our chances for a tornado we all made our way to Kimball, Nebraska where we waited for our next move. It wasn't long before we started our way back up towrds far southeastern Wyoming and this proved to be a great choice.We also ran into the "TIV"
I decided to follow one of the "stick nets" basically these are a group of NSSL minivans that deploy around a tornado to get readings of temperature, dewpoint, pressure, etc. I opted to go this route so I could get very close to the storm, well this time almost too close.
As I followed probe 1 we started getting very close to the storm which was rotating now. Before I knew it a tornado was about to form right in front of me, but before that could happen baseball size hail started beating down on me. It was at that point I said, ok I am not following Probe 1 any longer. I made a quick move to get out of the large hail and then position myself to get a good view of the tornado that had just formed just east of me.
Here is Probe 1's windshield.
I made it back to the main highway where I stayed and waited for it to cross over the highway. It was a great site. It was in a rural area, very picturesque, didn't see any damage. The Vortex2 crew was all over the tornado with pod deployment, radar scans, everything they practice for and finally they have a tornado this year. Hmmm what a coincidence, the first day I am with them its the first day they get a tornado... Hmmm... haha
The rest of the day was spent watching this cell TRY to produce again, but it never really did. Then it was on to the long drive we had ahead of us to get us in position for tomorrow's target!

Breaking News and Commentary from Citizens For Legitimate Government | 05 Jun 2009
Obama Nominee Linked to Spying on Muslims, CIA Torture (Democracy Now!) 05 Jun 2009 The Obama administration’s pick for a top Homeland Security position has ties to the FBI spying on Muslim Americans, as well as reported links to CIA torture. Philip Mudd has been nominated to become secretary of intelligence and analysis at Homeland Security. Under the Bush administration, Mudd helped spearhead an FBI program that sifted through customer data collected by San Francisco-area grocery stores in 2005 and 2006, hoping that sales records of Middle Eastern food would lead to Iranian secret agents. A congressional aide, meanwhile, told the Associated Press Mudd had direct knowledge of the torture of foreign prisoners while serving as deputy director of the CIA’s Office of Terrorism Analysis.
Bagram: Is it Obama's new Guantanamo? Judge's ruling is forcing president to confront issue of Afghan prison 03 Jun 2009 Should prisoners the United States has shipped to the Bagram air base in Afghanistan have the same constitutional right to challenge their detention in court that prisoners at the Guantanamo prison in Cuba have been given? President Barack Obama has promised to close the Guantanamo prison by Jan. 22 of next year, but the Bagram prison continues to house alleged terrorists captured by the United States in Pakistan and other nations.
Barack Obama visits Nazi concentration camp 05 Jun 2009 Barack Obama visited a former Nazi concentration camp which his great-uncle helped to liberate, laid a white rose at a memorial to its victims, and described the site where 56,000 people died as the "ultimate rebuke" to Holocaust deniers. After seeing the crematoriums, guard towers and barbed-wire fences, and a clock set at 3:15 – when the camp was liberated on 11 April 1945 – Obama said: "These sites have not lost their horror. More than half a century later, our grief and our outrage have not diminished." [Why doesn't Obama also visit Bagram air base, a different Nazi camp? See: 'One of them made cuts in my penis. I was in agony' --Benyam Mohammed travelled from London to Afghanistan in July 2001, but after September 11 he fled to Pakistan. He was arrested at Karachi airport on April 10 2002, and describes being flown by a US government plane to a prison in Morocco. 02 Aug 2005 (Diary entry) They took the scalpel to my right chest. It was only a small cut... One of them took my penis in his hand and began to make cuts. He did it once, and they stood still for maybe a minute, watching my reaction. I was in agony. They must have done this 20 to 30 times, in maybe two hours. There was blood all over. "I told you I was going to teach you who's the man," [one] eventually said.]
Obama's support for the new Graham-Lieberman secrecy law By Glenn Greenwald 01 Jun 2009 ...[O]bviously anticipating that the Government is likely to lose in court again -- Obama wants Congress to change FOIA by retroactively narrowing its disclosure requirements, prevent a legal ruling by the courts, and vest himself with brand new secrecy powers under the law which, just as a factual matter, not even George Bush sought for himself. The White House is actively supporting a new bill jointly sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman -- called The Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act of 2009 -- that literally has no purpose other than to allow the government to suppress any "photograph taken between September 11, 2001 and January 22, 2009 relating to the treatment of individuals engaged, captured, or detained after September 11, 2001, by the Armed Forces of the United States in operations outside of the United States." As long as the Defense Secretary certifies -- with no review possible -- that disclosure would "endanger" American citizens or our troops, then the photographs can be suppressed even if FOIA requires disclosure... The Senate passed the bill as an amendment last week.
US 'privatizing' war in Iraq, Afghanistan? 05 Jun 2009 The number of US contractors working in Iraq and Afghanistan is on the rise despite Washington claims that it would withdraw forces from both countries within years. The Pentagon has announced that the number of US contractors affiliated with the defense department is growing dramatically, a Russia Today report revealed on Friday. US outsource personnel working for the US mercenaries like Blackwater and Triple Canopy has reached 250,000, the report said. Private security contractors form 25 percent of all the US forces in Iraq, while the equivalent number for Afghanistan is even higher with contractors constituting 30 percent of the Washington troops in the war-torn country.

US sells 'nuke parts' to civilians 05 Jun 2009 Loopholes in the US regulations allow people to easily obtain and send overseas sensitive military hardware that could be used in nuclear devices, a government report says. A US auditory report conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) watchdog agency revealed that military items -- like parts for making nuclear devices and guided missiles that could carry nuclear warheads, as well as night-vision devices, body armor and other hardware for ground combat -- could be easily purchased in the US and sent to other countries.
NJ reservist sentenced in Iraq contract scheme 03 Jun 2009 An Army Reserve officer from New Jersey has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for her role in a bid-rigging scam that steered millions of dollars for Iraq reconstruction projects to a contractor in exchange for cash, luxury cars and jewelry.

According to Herve Morin, the troops would arrive in Afghanistan in the summer.
U.S. troop buildup in Afghanistan is in full force 05 Jun 2009 (Kandahar) Most of the 17,000 combat troops ordered here by President Obama will be in place by mid-July -- nearly all of them fanning out across southern Afghanistan. An additional 4,000 American troops, who will be responsible for 'training' Afghan soldiers and police officers, are expected to arrive by August. That will push U.S. troop strength above 60,000, a reflection of the shifting emphasis from Iraq to Afghanistan, where Western strategists acknowledge that more than seven years of fighting has essentially yielded a stalemate.
Three children among 30 killed in Afghanistan 05 Jun 2009 Three Afghan children were killed Friday by a mortar left over from a battle between police and Taliban, as bomb attacks and clashes left 28 more people dead, officials said.

Debris not from missing French jetliner 05 Jun 2009 Brazilian search teams looking for debris from a lost Air France jet have said material recovered from the sea is not from the crashed aircraft.

GOP leader doesn't rule out Sotomayor filibuster 05 Jun 2009 The Senate's top Republican said Friday it's "way too early to know" whether his party will try to block a vote on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation, leaving open a possibility that a so-far mild debate on her confirmation could turn bitter.

Sarkozy's Secret Plan for Mandatory Swine Flu Vaccination 03 Jun 2009 By F. William Engdahl The French Government is developing secret plans to impose mandatory vaccination of the entire French population, allegedly against possible Swine Flu disease according to reports leaked in a French newspaper. The plan is without precedent and even defies recommended public health advice. Pharmaceutical giants benefit from the move, as the Swine Flu increases the trend towards the militarization of public health and use of needless population panic to advance the agenda.
CDC Vaccine Advisor Pockets $29 Million Promoting Vaccines 04 Jun 2009 Dr. Paul Offit of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) received at least $29 million from his share of royalties for Merck's Rotateq vaccine after using his position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure that childhood vaccination with the vaccine became compulsory.

Gee, looky here! Merck, Glaxo Diarrhea Vaccine Endorsed for Global Use 05 Jun 2009 Vaccines against rotavirus, the main cause of severe diarrhea in preschoolers, were recommended for global use by the World Health Organization, which may boost sales for producers Merck & Co. and GlaxoSmithKline Plc.

Jobless rate hits 9.4 percent in May; layoffs slow 05 Jun 2009 With companies in no mood to hire, the unemployment rate jumped to 9.4 percent in May, the highest in more than 25 years. But the pace of layoffs eased, with employers cutting 345,000 jobs, the fewest since September.

Silverton to be closed by FDIC rather than sold 05 Jun 2009 The FDIC found buyers for Atlanta's failed bankers' bank, Silverton, but none of Silverton's suitors wanted to pay enough for it.

S. Carolina court orders governor to take US funds 04 Jun 2009 South Carolina's top court on Thursday ordered Governor Mark Sanford, a fierce critic of President Obama's economic stimulus program, to take $700 million in federal stimulus money.

The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
The updated, revised, expanded
North American Union Edition
By Daniel Estulin
It is ironic, as Daniel Estulin points out, that America’s fledgling democracy established the Logan act in 1799 to protect itself from Americans fostering foreign associations to intrude in our affairs. Named after Dr. George Logan, a pro Republican and prescient Quaker from Pennsylvania, it has remained almost unchanged and unfortunately unused since its passage, though it reads with great relevance in the shadows of the New World Order’s operatives . . .
It states, “Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
In fact, it is amazing that the Bilderberg Group has met since 1954 with funding from the CIA and is made up of the world’s most powerful people, notably US and world heads of state, made and in the making, numerous international corporate CEOs from business, banking, industry, media, as well as world royalty, plus high-ranking members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Tri-Lateral Commission.
The Bilderberg goal has been to shape policy that deeply concerns the United States and its citizens in regards to innumerable foreign alliances without providing US citizens any awareness of same. And not once has any US member been indicted for their treasonous breaches in these actions.
Even though high-ranking members of the press attend Bilderberg annual meetings, there is little or no press coverage. They are there, as it were, to get with and push the program, albeit disguised. The meetings’ locales are announced only days before the events, always in a small town near a big city — this year’s at the five-star Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece, May 14-17.
There are no press reports of discussions, agendas or conclusions released. Yet the matters discussed ranged this year from all facets of the US economy, including the dollar’s future, whether there will be depression or prolonged stagnation, US unemployment; more frighteningly, even to the destruction of the United States as we know it into the North American Union of Canada, the US, and Mexico.
Even though I read and favorably reviewed Estulin’s Bilderberg 2007: Welcome to the Lunatic Fringe, this new edition of the story lends new urgency to what has been happening in the darkness of the political night we live in, both north and south of us, including newly made associations of corporations, plans to usurp US laws to North American Union imperatives, all part of a scheme to hammer America into the pieces of this NAU like broken glass into an unrecognizable mosaic of oppression.
