Note the report in column 7: "Cyclone Raging in North Eighth this Year Torrential Rain: High Seas"
(The report states that this is an "out-of-season" cyclone. This indicates that even before so-called "climate change" storms sometimes happened, even outside of when they would normally be expected to. Nothing has really changed, except for the way the storms are described and reported.

If you notice the current news coverage, they almost always find a reason to call any current storm "historic" in one way or another. Finding one aspect of a storm that can be called "the worst ever" or "the biggest ever" or "the most rain ever" or "the deadliest ever" or "the earliest ever" of "the latest ever" or "the windiest ever" or any other single category that can be defined, gives the impression that storms are worse than ever. Especially when this is done for storm after storm. Reporting it this way makes it sound more frightening to the general public, and makes the storm seem "unusual" leading to the thought that there must be a reason for all these "historic" and "unusual" storms, and of course that reason is...you guessed it, climate change.

I hope you have also noticed that over the last several years the leftists pushing the "climate change" agenda changed the name of the problem from "global warming" to "climate change." This was done for the exact reason described above, so they can find a reason to present these storms or weather patterns as "historic" or "unusual" in some way. Calling it "climate change" and describing it as an "existential threat" provides the perfect impetus for governments to implement all manner of drastic measures against the public.

[As a side note, just to show how effective propaganda is and how propaganda works, "existential" was dictionary.com's word of the year in 2019 while Oxford Dictionaries chose "climate emergency" for theirs. Are you scared yet?]

Please keep in mind that climate change is an unfalsifiable hypothesis, meaning it cannot be proven to be false. In other words, it is a hypothesis so broadly stated that it can never be completely rejected. Since you cannot prove that a storm was not caused by climate change, they can keep pushing the narrative that it was, even though they cannot prove that it was. However, as an unfalsifiable hypothesis, the "hypothesis" of climate change cannot even graduate and become a "theory," which is the next stage of the scientific process.)

Note the report in column 3: "Trotsky's Death-Bed Statement Blames Slaying on Ogpu"
[The report is concluded here.]
(An assassin, sent by Josef Stalin, attacked Trotsky with a pickaxe. The attack occurred on Aug. 20, Trotsky died on the 21st. Leon Trotsky was one of fathers of modern communism, one of the people who helped put into practice the seductive and poisonous doctrine of Lenin and Marx. He built the Red Army and helped build the totalitarian Soviet State. His system for "the workers" is responsible for killing over 100,000,000 people and enslaving billions more. A feat which Adolf Hitler did not even come close to achieving. It is poetic justice that he should be added to the millions of dead that were killed by the monster he helped to create. The human suffering caused by Trotsky and his ilk can never be calculated, and continue to this day.)
