REVIEWS @ BOOKS led him to study patterns of climate over the ages. He decided against using sunspot cycles as the basis for his research, as the record of their behaviour is too short. He felt sure there must be an underlying orderly system which would provide a mathematical blue- print for the mechanics of the whole cli- mate/weather system of the Earth. Gaddes came up with the idea of using the ratio of rotation between Earth and Sun as the basis for a working model. The result was a mathematical formula which he called the Gravitational-Astronomical and Geometrical Ratios Principle. Using this formula he proves that weather pat- terns are cyclical, though upset by volcanic activity. verse is governed by harmonics, and all the cycles are only harmonic beats, This seems to strike a familiar chord with this reviewer! Tomorrow's Weather is a con- troversial book deserving wider attention. GEORGE BUSH The Unauthorized Biography - Webster Griffin Tarpley and dation itkin Published by Executive Intelligence. - Review, Washington, DC, USA ASBN: 0 943235 05 7 Price: A$15.00 (inc. postage within Australia) (659 pp, pbk) Available from CEC Australia, PO Box 19, Mordland, Vic 3058, Australia; ph.

This is a book that had to be written and, indeed, had to be published before the 1992 presidential election that it "might help to save the American people from the awesome destruction of a second Bush presidency." Authors Tarpley and Chaitkin were com- pelled by the savage slaughter of the Iraq war during January-February 1991, a war they saw as "premeditated genocide on the part of President George Bush", to set the record straight. They had observed Bush during the Gulf crisis and saw real psy- chotic behaviour in his public outbursts, “indicative of a deranged mental state that was full of ominous portent for humanity". According to Tarpley and Chaitkin, no accurate account of George Bush's actual career exists in the public domain—in fact, he very much wants key aspects of his life to remain covert. Thus, the authors claim, no ‘biographies’, even Bush's 1988 cam- paign autobiography, can be taken serious- ly—they're a collection of lies, distortions and banalities. When the authors com- menced their research, they found that most available literature on George Bush had been based on a single printout of approved ‘facts' about Bush and his family issued in the late '70s! Tarpley and Chaitkin provide a frighten- ing yet often hilarious account of George Bush, a man they see as a modern-day Caligula, and the New World Order he was so fond of as the equivalent of the Roman Empire—and we know something of what happened there! From Bush family Nazi war machine funding, to secret government covorting, this is rivetting reading! In Tomorrow's Weather, Gaddes con- cludes that in 1997 a major new weather cycle will commence, heralding a serious 200-year worldwide drought—incorporat- ing minor seven-year drought cycles. He wams that this new cycle—of a type unknown in almost 7,000 years—will cause increasingly dry and colder condi- tions, causing glaciation down to the 50th parallel. Many of Gaddes' drought predictions have come to pass, so his grand vision does warrant serious and urgent debate. Alex Gaddes is convinced that the uni- 68¢ NEXUS —————— ee DECEMBER 1993 - JANUARY 1994
