No speed limit and Gyroscope effect

Yesterday I arrived to a farm called Aussicht in Kaokoland, north west Namibia, 70 km south of Opuwo. For last 5 kms I needed 30 minutes as the road is so bad that I couldn't drive in average more than 10 km/h. It was also very steep. On the way I saw all these funny signs as 'No speed limit' and ‘The road will be tared next week’. :) The farm is on top of the hill / mountains from where I had a nice view of surrounding hills. The owner lives here for last 26 years but he turned the farm into tourist farm only 10 years ago. It is self-catering but you can book a dinner with owner even if you are just camping. Otherwise meals are included in price if you stay in the rooms. I was camping.

There is a big problem with water in this area. Last year they've got just 250 mm of rainfall per square meter, this year might be even worse, as it they've got just 70 mm by now and it's already May. All of the water on the farm is collected from rain. If it's very dry for a long time, the owner will be forced to bring the water from more than 10 kms away. The water is transported by so-called water-vehicles. I wonder how the Himba tribe is coping with water problem as they have no cars. I will discover this later, probably in following days.

We had some interesting talk at the dinner with the owner Marius and two other guests from campsite, Franz and Anita from Freiburg, Germany. Marius explained one theory why Namibia has such an incredible geological surface. As the scientists claim that many milions years were needed to Gondwana continent (Africa and South America together) split into two continents, Marius 
(Aussicht lodge) beleives it was a huge meteorite which hit the Earth +-8000 millions years ago. So everything happened fast. That explains fossils. The explains unbelievable landscapes in Namibia and also Northern Cape and Western Cape in South Africa. When meteorite hit the surface, a large quantitiy of water splashed from the ground. Ocean between the new continents was created right after. That is prooved by shapes of the mountains which are all parallel to the sea. As meteroite gave Earth huge shock-momentum, Earth started to spin around its axis differentely and under a certain angle, with so called Gyroscope effect. That explains climate changes. We had different position to the sun for a long time. As the angle is coming back to more vertical position now, that's why we feel climate is changing so fast in recent years. So the Earth is just going back to normal spinning position to the sun as it was before the meteorite hit our planet.

So no worries, the Earth is not heading to any climate catastrophy. The catastrophy is hidden in humans, greedy humans. Climate change and following industry is more an invention of the new world system how to collect more money and how to enslave more people to serve to the system. But as money value is in danger to completelly collapse in next few years, there will be more suicides and new wars. So it will be very interesting and hectic around here on this planet. Only if we humans finally decide to start to use common sense again. And it must be started by each individual. 

In every step we just need to start to use common sense and we will see how many stupid things we are doing every day. Just because we are scared, unsecure or maybe just lazy.
