  1. Let's be TRUTHFUL here! The reason these building Codes are not enacted is because our Government and other Governments of other Countries, WANTS THESE PEOPLE TO DIE! They call it Population Control or expected Collateral Damage! Just as long as its not one of their DISCRIMINATING ASSES and their FAMILIES! It's the very reason why they want to get rid of BIRTH CONTROL & ABORTIONS because they WANT DESPERATE STUPID INDIVIDUALS to continue having children they cannot afford, nor want, because these are the very humans they consider COLLATERAL DAMAGE and will SACRIFICE IN A HEARTBEAT!

  2. Its called : Disaster Capitalism.
    Read the bestseller "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein.

    remember the idea that every occurrence is an opportunity? Well what if you made the occurrences yourself.

  4. its not global warming anymore but its global cooling, it is just because of the sun, its called as grand solar minimum…
