My freinds, THE LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED!!!
I pray to God this is not happening! If what I just read is true, our glorious leader, the Obamanition has signed away our sovereignty to the Global Gestapo. I and others like me have know this to be coming for some time now and here is what will inevitably become the death kneel for the US Constitution and the United States of America.
U.S. placed under international police-state
December 26, 3:49 PM
Columbia Conservative Examiner
Anthony G. Martin
In the dead of night on December 17, 2009, President Barack Hussein Obama placed the United States of America under the authority of the international police organization known as INTERPOL, granting the organization full immunity to operate within the United States.
Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.
By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates - now operates - on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
What, exactly does this mean? It means that INTERPOL now has the full authority to conduct investigations and other law enforcement activities on U.S. soil, with full immunity from U.S. laws such as the Freedom of Information Act and with complete independence from oversight from the FBI.
In short, a global law enforcement entity now has full law-enforcement authority in the U.S. without any check on its power afforded by U.S. law and U.S. law enforcement agencies.*snip*

I know I said I would be doing light posting this week, leading up to Christmas, but as I also said, unless it would be "brief and/or rather important..." Well, in my book, this ranks pretty high on my list of things that are "rather important."
This is almost exactly what I was talking about in this older post titled "The Perfect Storm Approacheth…"
There'll be nowhere to run from the new world government
By Janet Daley
The UK Telegraph
Published: 7:24PM GMT 19 Dec 2009
There is scope for debate – and innumerable newspaper quizzes – about who was the most influential public figure of the year, or which the most significant event. But there can be little doubt which word won the prize for most important adjective. 2009 was the year in which "global" swept the rest of the political lexicon into obscurity. There were "global crises" and "global challenges", the only possible resolution to which lay in "global solutions" necessitating "global agreements". Gordon Brown actually suggested something called a "global alliance" in response to climate change. (Would this be an alliance against the Axis of Extra-Terrestrials?)
Some of this was sheer hokum: when uttered by Gordon Brown, the word "global", as in "global economic crisis", meant: "It's not my fault". To the extent that the word had intelligible meaning, it also had political ramifications that were scarcely examined by those who bandied it about with such ponderous self-importance. The mere utterance of it was assumed to sweep away any consideration of what was once assumed to be the most basic principle of modern democracy: that elected national governments are responsible to their own people – that the right to govern derives from the consent of the electorate.
The dangerous idea that the democratic accountability of national governments should simply be dispensed with in favour of "global agreements" reached after closed negotiations between world leaders never, so far as I recall, entered into the arena of public discussion. Except in the United States, where it became a very contentious talking point, the US still holding firmly to the 18th-century idea that power should lie with the will of the people.*snip*
The Apocalypse of Saint John
the Apostle [Ch 13, Vrs 1-10]
1 And he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns: and upon his horns, ten diadems: and upon his heads,
names of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard: and his
feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength and great
power.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death:
and his death’s wound was healed. And all the earth was in
admiration after the beast.
4 And they adored the dragon which gave power to the
beast. And they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the
beast? And who shall be able to fight with him?
5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do,
two and forty months.
6 And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against
God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them
that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints
and to overcome them. And power was given him over every
tribe and people and tongue and nation.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose
names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which
was slain from the beginning of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that shall lead into captivity shall go into captivity:
he that shall kill by the sword must be killed by the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints...

Christmas Public Service Announcement
Today is Sunday, December 20, 2009. There are only 4 days left to prepare for Christmas and I have soooooooo much to do in soooooooo little time. Therefor, in the name of mental and physical self preservation, I have to make a concerted effort to lay off the posting here and get busy preparing for Christmas. If by chance I do happen to slip one or two posts in between now and December 25, it will likely be brief and/or rather important. You can check in on me from time to time, but expect the posting here to be VERY light until after Christmas. My message to all of you at this time is to be safe, get off the gawdamned computer and go spend this precious time with your loved ones during this special time of year.

This year's Christmas miracle...
With every negative thing that's going on in this messed up world these days, it sure is nice to hear about things like this. We all see miracles in our lives every day, even it it is as simple as waking up alive in the morning to see the dawn of a brand new day. It means we've been given an extra day to accomplish more than we did the day before - one more chance to get it right.

Sen. Ben Nelson announces support for health-care bill
By Shailagh Murray and Lori Montgomery
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 19, 2009; 10:55 AM
Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, announced to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
"We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to outline the deal.
Democratic leaders spent days trying to hammer out a deal with Nelson, and worked late Friday night with him on abortion coverage language that had proved the major stumbling block. Nelson also secured other favors for his home state.
Under the new abortion provisions, states can opt out of allowing plans to cover abortion in insurance exchanges the bill would set up to serve individuals who don't have employer coverage. Plus, enrollees in plans that do cover abortion procedures would pay for the coverage with separate checks - one for abortion, one for rest of health-care services.
Nelson secured full federal funding for his state to expand Medicaid coverage to all individuals below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Other states must pay a small portion of the additional cost. He won concessions for qualifying nonprofit insurers and for Medigap providers from a new insurance tax. He also was able to roll back cuts to health savings accounts.
"I know this is hard for some of my colleagues to accept and I appreciate their right to disagree," Nelson told reporters at the Capitol, of the many changes made at his behest. "But I would not have voted for this bill without these provisions."
With Nelson on board, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid unveiled the final version of a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health insurance system that would expand coverage to an additional 31 million Americans, coming closer to attaining the Democrats' long sought goal of universal medical coverage.*snip*

You're a mean one, Mr. Reed!
You're a monster, Mr. Reed!
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders.
You've got garlic in your soul,
You're a foul one, Mr. Reed!
You're a nasty, wasty skunk!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks.
Your soul is full of gunk,
Mr. Reed!

Holdout Sen. Nelson rejects abortion compromise
By ERICA WERNER
AP News
WASHINGTON (AP) - A moderate Democrat whose vote could be crucial said Thursday an attempted Senate compromise on abortion is unsatisfactory, raising doubts about whether the chamber can pass President Barack Obama's health care overhaul by Christmas.
"As it is, without modifications, the language concerning abortion is not sufficient," Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, a key holdout on the health care bill, said in a statement after first making his concerns known to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Nelson said there were positive improvements dealing with teen pregnancy and adoption, and that he was open to further negotiations. But in a radio interview earlier in the day with KLIN in Lincoln, Nebraska, Nelson also said that abortion wasn't his only concern and he didn't see how the Christmas deadline was achievable.
The development came with Senate leaders working round the clock trying to finalize their 10-year, nearly $1 trillion bill in time for a final vote on Christmas Eve. Nelson is emerging as a major obstacle - perhaps the only remaining one - since Democrats need his vote to have the 60 necessary to overcome Republican stalling tactics. [emphasis mine]
"Senator Reid will continue to work with Senator Nelson and other senators as we work to get 60 votes," said Reid spokesman Jim Manley.
At the same time, liberals were criticizing the Senate bill for lacking a government-run insurance option, with former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean calling the measure a boon for insurance companies. Andrew Stern, head of the 2.1 million-member Service Employees International Union, said he was deeply disappointed in the bill but stopped short of urging rejection...*snip*
The attempted abortion compromise offered to Nelson was written by another anti-abortion Democrat, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, among others, and was an attempt to secure Nelson's support for the health care bill while also keeping liberals on board. It's the Democrats' latest attempt to strictly separate public and private money that could pay for abortion coverage under a remade health care system in which many lower-income people would be using new federal subsidies to buy health insurance.
Several previous attempts have been dismissed by Roman Catholic bishops and anti-abortion groups as accounting gimmicks, and this one looks like it may fare no better. The language has not been made public but is already drawing criticism from outside groups.
Speaking to reporters, Casey declined to directly address Nelson's objections but said he would keep trying for a compromise.
"We're trying to get this right," Casey said. "I've had ideas on the table for a while now, I'm still working through them and we'll keep talking to anyone who wants to discuss it..."*snip*

Oh, for the love of St. Pete...Part 2!!!
Back in September of 2007, I was alarmed at the language coming from the Vatican on the issue of global warming. Well, today there is news of the Pontiff weighing in on the issue once again, just in time for the gathering at Copenhagen.
Rich nations must assume environmental duties: pope [sic]
Tue Dec 15, 2009 11:53am GMT
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Industrialized nations must recognize their responsibility for the environmental crisis, shed their consumerism and embrace more sober lifestyles, Pope Benedict said on Tuesday.
The pope's call for more environmental commitments came in his message for the Roman Catholic Church's annual World Day of Peace, to be marked on Jan 1 and whose theme is "If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Protect Creation."*snip*
"Our present crises -- be they economic, food-related, environmental or social -- are ultimately also moral crises, and all of them are interrelated."
He called on all people to "move beyond a purely consumerist mentality" so that they could "rethink the path which we are traveling together" and adapt "a lifestyle marked by sobriety and solidarity" between the haves and the have nots.
Environmental issues deserved the attention of the world community because the were [sic] human rights issues that could influence the right to life, food, health and development.
"Sad to say, it is all too evident that large numbers of people in different countries and areas of our planet are experiencing increased hardship because of the negligence or refusal of many others to exercise responsible stewardship over the environment," he said.
Once again, I am beside myself. As a conservationist, I can understand where he is coming from on the issue of squandering natural resources in the name of want and greed, but the socialism aspect of his message is causing me to pull out what little hair I have left on my head. However, due to other obligations this evening, I haven't the time or the desire to reiterate my thoughts regarding this matter, so allow me to repost what I wrote back then. For the most part, my song remains the same. For those of you who didn't get a chance to read it the first time, please read it - especially if you are a brother or sister Catholic...
_______________________________________________________________________
As a traditionalist Catholic living in America, I consider myself someone who stands apart from many others in this country who are appearing more and more as Catholics in name only or CINOs. I find it appalling, that many of them think most priests are pedophiles, priests should be allowed to marry, women should be priests, all war and capital punishment is evil, God is excepting of homosexuality, and human life doesn't really begin until childbirth. I also find it equally disturbing when I hear them rag about how Pope Benedict XVI is some right wing Nazi who is unsympathetic to progressive Catholic views. Frankly speaking, Catholicism should have never evolved into its present day format, but what liberal Catholics are failing to realize is that 40 years ago, Fr. Joseph Ratzinger was instrumental in orchestrating the progressive transformation of the Church known as the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II.
Even though Pope Benedict has said that Vatican II did not accomplish what he originally intended, he is determined to hold fast to the new dogmatic principals.
Well, it appears that "God's Rottweiler" has for some time now been espousing philosophies which leave me a bit unnerved and without proper clarification might cause an even larger rift between conservative capitalists and the socialists within the Church.
Pope to make climate action a moral obligation
The Independent
By James Macintyre
Published: 22 September 2007
The Pope is expected to use his first address to the United Nations to deliver a powerful warning over climate change in a move to adopt protection of the environment as a "moral" cause for the Catholic Church and its billion-strong following.
The New York speech is likely to contain an appeal for sustainable development, and it will follow an unprecedented Encyclical (a message to the wider church) on the subject, senior diplomatic sources have told The Independent.
It will act as the centrepiece of a US visit scheduled for next April - the first by Benedict XVI, and the first Papal visit since 1999 - and round off an environmental blitz at the Vatican, in which the Pope has personally led moves to emphasise green issues based on the belief that climate change is affecting the poorest people on the planet, and the principle that believers have a duty to "protect creation".*snip*
What can I say? I love my Church and I am committed to following its teachings, but this latest directive from the Pope is leaving a horrible taste of sulfur in my mouth. Enviro-mental-illness is typically a leftist agenda and to hear this guy come out in defense of "green" issues in this fashion is literally scaring the bejezus out of me. I mean, WTF? Is my beloved Pope being demoniacally possessed by Algore???
Doesn't the Pope realize that capitalism is the economic powerhouse which fuels charitable contributions in the first place? Doesn't the Pope know how his directives will be used by the environmental propagandists to push their godless and socialist agendas? Doesn't the Pope realize that by working to change the hearts of men consumed by greed, he can promote compassionate capitalism which in turn can help others to help themselves instead of living the rest of their lives as slaves to welfare and entitlement systems of socialism?
Pope Benedict XVI should instead be making it clear that socialism without God at the center is nothing more than atheistic communism which seeks to enslave the human race!
I can understand if he's concerned that humans should be more charitable and I can understand if he's concerned that humans should be more conscious of conserving natural resources. As I have said in the past; I am a conservationist, not an environmentalist. The conservationist is mindful of not trashing his surroundings or squandering its resources. I believe in sound and practical environmental management. I am dead set against littering. I also believe in giving back to the earth what I take. But to suggest that I or even the largest corporation on earth can have any impact on altering global climate trends is pure folly! When you think of the levels of carbon dioxide man contributes to our atmosphere compared to that which comes from volcanoes and all the oceans around the world, how can anyone possibly think that by our efforts, we can make any significant change?
Here, allow me to share with you the show that has pissed off the enviro-mental-patients, blown away the theory that man-made CO2 has anything to do with global warming and that all this enviro-mental-madness is absolute bunk...
Navitor69 | MySpace Video
Not surprisingly, all the nut cases who worship at the church of Algore have issued a fatwah pledging holy jihad against the scientists and the makers of this television series. The internet is full of condemnation over it and the lies being thrown out there to discredit the documentary speak volumes on the character of the people against it.
Ultimately, what I see going on here is another misguided attempt by the Church to increase the numbers of faithful by appealing to the trend of the day. This is not unlike the attempt that was made back 40 years ago when Vatican II was instituted. By loosening the orthodox principles on which our Catechism was founded, you inevitably risk sacrificing the strength of the Church as a whole.

In addendum to my Christmas wish list...
Only inconvenience would be that the bedroom would have to remained locked during the day.
Dragging a dead horse hearse
As teh "messiah" and the liberal asshats in Congress continue to twist in the wind and reformulate their proposals in an effort to ram socialized medical reform down the throats of Americans, support for our undocumented leader is falling through the floor. As of December 13th, the approval index for the Obamanation administration has hit an all time low for any president, nearly one year into his 1st term in office.
Does this revelation help to sway our glorious leader and congressional socialists from their failed and lofty goals? Of course not! We are witnessing the arrogance that is the Communist takeover and transformation of our nation by the same ideology that we have been fighting against since the early days of the Bolshevik revolution. They have their agenda and are determined to carry out as much destruction of our beloved country as they can in the short amount of time they have to do it in. They knew that once the general public caught on to their dastardly plans, it wouldn't be long before a backlash of epic proportions strips them from power once again.
Unfortunately for them, the truth is spreading like wildfire. The barn doors have been opened and the proverbial horse has fled the stables only to be shot down by an increasingly frustrated public. However, despite the overwhelming rejection of their socialist agendas, Obama and his minions in Congress are determined to drag this dead horse over the finish line.

It appears that the UN is employing the same tactics used by the SIEU to silence "right-wing" dissenters at this past summer's town hall meetings. I hope this phucking video goes viral!

Calling all moonbats...
A mysterious and as of yet unexplained blue spiral of light has been seen in the skies above Norway.
Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above Norway
By Mail Foreign Service and Will Stewart
Last updated at 5:00 PM on 09th December 2009
A mysterious light display appearing over Norway last night has left thousands of residents in the north of the country baffled.
Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave - although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet.
The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate.
Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre - lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm - which astronomers have said did not appear to have been connected to the aurora, or Northern Lights, so common in that area of the world.
The mystery deepened tonight as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area...*snip*
Coincidentally, it is the eve before teh "messiah" gives his acceptance speech before the Nobel committee upon receiving the Nobel peace prize... that's right folks... in Noway.
Coincidentally, it happens to be the occasion where teh "messiah" is supposed to disclose to the world the United States' knowledge of the existence of extra-terrestrial life.
Coincidentally, it happens to be the week before teh "messiah" jumps over to Denmark to meet with fellow moonbats on how to rape the world's economy using global warming scare tactics. Chicken Little would be proud.
Wait a minute... where have I seen that spiral in the sky before?

I needed a good laugh...
The news of the day is begining to really depress me. There is so much evil going on in the world today and so much impending doom lurking over the horizon that I feel the need to dampen my frustrations with a little humor. That's why I like to break up the rantings here with content that makes me LMAO.
As I was enjoying some holiday cheer by watching old Christmas song videos, I came across something that made me laugh so hard to the point of tears and knew I needed to share it with you all. It's an old clip of The Johnny Carson Show from 1969 with Bob Hope, Dean Martin, George Gobel and others. Those were the good old days of entertainment. Guests smoked and drank right on the set and the comedy was damned good - almost innocent, but mischievous in nature. Today, comedy has devolved into bathroom humor replete with expletives and sexuality. It sure would be nice if we could return to simpler times.
Just a note: Be sure and watch the second clip. It's even funnier than the first.

Remembering 90 minutes of horror
68 years ago, our nation suffered the most devastating military attack ever executed on American soil. Before 9-11, this was the most defining moment in our history that signaled an age where the United States was no longer safe from attack by its enemies over seas. Prior to that, we lived in the comfort of knowing that our superior military defenses would prevent attack or invasion from foreign lands. 90 minutes, one beautiful morning in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii changed it all. As our forces conducted normal peacetime routines of the day, a squadron of Japanese Zeros swooped in at 7:55am and opened the gates of hell. Over the period of an hour and a half, the once beautiful and serene naval base was transformed into a fiery abyss of death and decimation.
All tolled, our losses were massive...

Those who lived through that frightening day remember the chaos and terror of being under attack and watching their brothers be slaughtered before their eyes. But, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they strengthened their resolve, rallied their countrymen to arms and sent a devastating blow back to their attackers. These were men of honor. These were who defined the greatest generation of the 20th century. These are the heroes who fought to ensure we remained a free nation and as time passes by, their numbers are rapidly dwindling. It will not be long before there will be no one left who can recall living through that horrible day and the only stories we will hear will be those recalled from the pages of history.
As we pause to remember their sacrifice, we must also remember to never let their memory or their bravery be forgotten.

To the Editor: Save the Earth, get rid of trappings of Christmas
By The Post-Standard
December 02, 2009, 6:50AM
In today's Post-Standard, one reader says Christmas traditions do harm to our planet:
To the Editor:
I believe we should think about doing away with Christmas. Our planet is in big trouble, and giving up Christmas would help to save it in many ways.
Not having to do extra driving, looking for gifts, would save on gas and therefore on carbon dioxide emissions.
Millions of trees would not be cut down, allowing them to grow large and to eat up the carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
The land normally used for Christmas tree farms could be planted with fast-growing hardwood forests to suck up even more CO2.
No Christmas lights or decorations would mean fewer utilities would be used, therefore saving on our natural resources.
There wouldn’t be so much stuff to swell our already fast-expanding landfills.
I think people would be calmer, happier and less stressed if they didn’t have to deal with the holiday. Many who live alone or have no family ties get depressed around Christmastime. There are even increased numbers of suicides. Not celebrating Christmas would mean folks could save money and not go further into debt buying presents that the recipients didn’t even want or need.
Those wishing to celebrate Christ could have their religious and/or family get-togethers and remember Him for whom Christmas was named. It seems like we’ve gotten rather far away from that.

Horror Movie Scene Prompts Police Response
WCCO/CBS News
Dec 3, 2009 2:19 pm US/Central
COLOMA, Calif. (CBS) - Bloodcurdling screams and a violent attack caused a Coloma resident to call authorities, but when police arrived on the scene, they discovered the disturbance was just the filming of a horror movie, CBS station KOVR-TV reported.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office sent at least eight units to the Coloma Club off Highway 49 early Wednesday morning after receiving a 911 call reporting that a woman was being dragged through the parking lot.
"They were alarmed, certainly, when they showed up," said Josh Cumby.

Hollywood Conservatives Say Gore Should Lose Oscar Over Climate-Gate
Updated December 04, 2009
FOX News
Two conservative screenwriters say Al Gore should be stripped of his Oscar in light of the global warming questions raised by leaked e-mails out of a British research center.
Just days ahead of an international climate change conference, global warming guru and former Vice President Al Gore has been hit by an inconvenient scandal -- one that's reverberated all the way back to Hollywood.
Two conservative screenwriters say Gore should be stripped of his Oscar in light of the global warming questions raised by leaked e-mails out of a British research center.
The former vice president earned the Oscar in 2007 for his climate change manifesto "An Inconvenient Truth." He later went on to earn a Nobel Peace Prize and become one of the world's leading authorities on global warming.
But Roger Simon and Lionel Chetwynd, both members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, put out a statement Thursday calling for the Academy to take it all back in light of the controversy skeptics have dubbed Climate-Gate.
"I personally call for the Academy to rescind this Oscar," Simon said. "In the history of the Academy ... not to my knowledge has an Oscar ever been rescinded. ... I think they should rescind this one."
Though their demand will almost certainly not be met, it marks the latest effort by conservatives to draw attention to the controversy in the run-up to an international climate change conference next week in Copenhagen -- where Gore just canceled a lecture he was supposed to deliver...*snip*
You folks know damned well he will never give up his Oscar anymore willingly than he would be prepared to give up his crusade against free market capitalism by means of junk science.

Obama science officials defend warming research
Associated Press
Dec 2 03:18 PM US/Eastern
WASHINGTON (AP) - Top White House science officials defended the validity of global warming research against repeated Republican attacks Wednesday that cited leaked e-mails from some climate researchers.
The e-mails from a British university's climate center were obtained by computer hackers and released last month. Climate change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent...*snip*
Meet Obama's climate 'experts'
Socialists, conspiracy theorists, supporters of spreading wealth

Amid an international climate-change scandal involving hacked e-mails just days before a major U.N. climate summit of world leaders, it is instructive to profile top White House officials who are drafting President Obama's climate policy.
Some of the officials include known supporters of socialism who have advocated using environmental activism to spread America's wealth.
'Climate czar' Carol Browner
Carol Browner's official title is assistant to the president for energy and climate change. She formerly served as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency administrator during the Clinton administration and was Florida secretary of the environment.
Browner was a member of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society at Socialist International, a group that Discover the Networks reports is the "umbrella for 170 'social democratic, socialist and labor parties' in 55 countries."
The Washington Times explained Browner's group called for "global governance" and asserts rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.*snip*
'Regulatory czar' Cass Sunstein
According to Cass Sunstein, administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, global climate change is primarily the fault of U.S. environmental behavior and can, therefore, be used as a mechanism to redistribute the country's wealth.
The Obama czar penned a 2007 University of Chicago Law School paper – obtained and reviewed by WND – in which he debated whether America should pay "justice" to the world by entering into a compensation agreement that would be a net financial loss for the U.S.
Sunstein leans on the side of such an agreement, particularly a worldwide carbon tax that would heavily tariff the U.S.
A prominent theme throughout Sunstein's 39-page paper, "Climate Change Justice," maintains U.S. wealth should be redistributed to poorer nations. He uses terms such as "distributive justice" several times. The paper was written with fellow attorney Eric A. Posner
"It is even possible that desirable redistribution is more likely to occur through climate change policy than otherwise, or to be accomplished more effectively through climate policy than through direct foreign aid," wrote Sunstein.
He posited: "We agree that if the United States does spend a great deal on emissions reductions as part of an international agreement, and if the agreement does give particular help to disadvantaged people, considerations of distributive justice support its action, even if better redistributive mechanisms are imaginable.
"If the United States agrees to participate in a climate change agreement on terms that are not in the nation's interest, but that help the world as a whole, there would be no reason for complaint, certainly if such participation is more helpful to poor nations than conventional foreign-aid alternatives," he wrote.
Sunstein maintains: "If we care about social welfare, we should approve of a situation in which a wealthy nation is willing to engage in a degree of self-sacrifice when the world benefits more than that nation loses."*snip*
'Science czar' John Holdren
Holdren is assistant to the president for science and technology, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and co-chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
He has been a longtime climate-change alarmist who has advocated ideas such as enforcing limits to world population growth.
Holdren's name was in the e-mails hacked from the Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University in the U.K., which show that some climate researchers declined to share their data with fellow scientists, conspired to rig data and sought to keep researchers with dissenting views from publishing in leading scientific journals.
FrontPageMag.com noted Holdren has endorsed "surrender of sovereignty" to "a comprehensive Planetary Regime" that would control all the world's resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the "de-development" of the West, control a World Army and taxation regime, and enforce world population limits.*snip*

Official disclosure of extraterrestrial life is imminent
October 21, 12:27 AM
Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner
Michael Salla, Ph.D.
An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology.
The impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret implementation of a year long openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussions where approximately 30 nations secretly agreed on a new openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life in 2009. The openness policy was implemented but never publicly announced due to threats against UN diplomats not to disclose details of the secret agreement. h The secret UN agreement was based on two conditions. First, UFOs would continue to appear around the world; and second, the openness policy would not lead to social unrest in liberal democracies. Both conditions have been satisfied making it possible for the next stage to begin – official disclosure of extraterrestrial life.*snip*
By itself, this disclosure would laughable due to the fact that Obama is such a lying MFCSCommunist looking to rape the world of it's wealth in collusion with the United Nations. However, there was this report earlier this month...
Vatican prepares for extraterrestrial disclosure
November 12, 9:26 AM
Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner
Michael Salla, Ph.D.
The Vatican has just completed a five day conference astrobiology where scientists convened to discuss the detection and implications of extraterrestrial life. A major driving force behind the conference was the Director of the Vatican Observatory, the Jesuit priest Father Jose Gabriel Funes. In May 2008, Funes gave an interview to the Vatican’s L’Osservatore Romano newspaper saying that the existence of intelligent extraterrestrials posed no problems to Catholic theology. The conference itself was officially convened by the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences, chaired by its religious leader Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, and was held on private Vatican grounds from November 6-10. Together with Funes’ 2008 interview and subsequent public comments by him, the conference demonstrates a welcome openness by the Vatican on the possibility and implications of extraterrestrial life. The Vatican’s openness to discussion of extraterrestrial life is no accident. It is part of an openness policy secretly adopted by the United Nations in February 2008. In fact, the Vatican is playing a leading role in preparing the world for extraterrestrial disclosure.*snip*
The Vatican’s new openness on extraterrestrial life is consistent with reports of secret discussions held at the United Nations that began in February 2008. The Vatican’s permanent representative to the UN, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, was reported to have attended along with a number of other prominent government officials to discuss increased UFO sightings and the implications of extraterrestrial visitation. Significantly, Migliore's position requires that he maintains close relations with the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences. At the time of the secret UN discussions, Migliore made a presentation on moral issues associated with scientific problems such as climate change. Most importantly, the UN discussions reportedly led to a new policy of openness being adopted by approximately 30 nations that would begin in 2009.*snip*
I don't normally pay much in the way of homage to paranormal activity. Most of what is out there can be explained one way or another through scientific analysis. Like most folks, I believe in what I can see and that includes believing in God. Just look around at the absolute beauty, brilliance and complexity of what makes up the universe and the Earth that sustains our life forms. We were no accident and we didn't just jump from monkey to man overnight by chaotic circumstance.
I believe our the creation of our species is result of genetic evolutionary intervention by our Creator. I also believe that angles and demons, as mentioned in ancient texts, are what we would classify today as extraterrestrial beings and extra dimensional manifestations of spiritual energies. Regardless, how vain can we be to think that in the infinite vastness of the universe, we are the only living beings in existence.
As a Christian, I believe we were created with a soul. It is our soul that drive the vehicle of our humanly existence and it is the purity of our soul that determines our fate after we leave our mortal lives behind. God made us in the likeness of His image and after our mortal lives have ended, He wishes for our souls to return to Him. The only catch was that we were given free will and because of this we are susceptible to temptations that lead us away from God. I believe that He gave us the Commandments as a standard in which to live and maintain His good favor. And I also believe that for the salvation of our souls, he sent us his one and only son, Jesus, to show us the proper way home.
Unfortunately for us, there IS also a devil - a force of evil, if you will - and he does seek the ruin of our souls. He was given free reign to hold sway over the Earth and its inhabitants since the dawn of our time. He has perfected his wickedness over the millennia and has become the master of lies and deceit. His control over the minds of men is inherently the downfall of our civilized society. This world is gripped by insanity, which I believe is a byproduct of the devil's influence. Today, Man, in his conceit and arrogance, dismisses belief in God and declares that he can live and advance without God's divine providence. What folly!
At this point all I can firmly say is that there is some really weird things going on out there and almost nothing surprises me anymore, but this can end up being the mother of all mind-fucks. With the Vatican now girding itself for such a revelation, all indications appear that we are in for some serious social upheaval. All I can do is pray for the best, be prepared for the worst and despite any illusion the Devil may throw up in my face, I will continue to worship God as my Heavenly Father and Christ as my personal Savior.

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
FOX News
Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.
The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.
Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.*snip*

IT'S GETTING HOT OUT THERE FOLKS!
Climate "experts" who would stake
In the trenches on climate change, hostility among foes
Stolen e-mails reveal venomous feelings toward skeptics
By Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 22, 2009
Electronic files that were stolen from a prominent climate research center and made public last week provide a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes battle to shape the public perception of global warming.
While few U.S. politicians bother to question whether humans are changing the world's climate -- nearly three years ago the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded the evidence was unequivocal -- public debate persists. And the newly disclosed private exchanges among climate scientists at Britain's Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia reveal an intellectual circle that appears to feel very much under attack, and eager to punish its enemies.
In one e-mail, the center's director, Phil Jones, writes Pennsylvania State University's Michael E. Mann and questions whether the work of academics that question the link between human activities and global warming deserve to make it into the prestigious IPCC report, which represents the global consensus view on climate science.
"I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report," Jones writes. "Kevin and I will keep them out somehow -- even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"
In another, Jones and Mann discuss how they can pressure an academic journal not to accept the work of climate skeptics with whom they disagree. "Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal," Mann writes.
"I will be emailing the journal to tell them I'm having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor," Jones replies.
Patrick Michaels, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute who comes under fire in the e-mails, said these same academics repeatedly criticized him for not having published more peer-reviewed papers.
"There's an egregious problem here, their intimidation of journal editors," he said. "They're saying, 'If you print anything by this group, we won't send you any papers.' "
Mann, who directs Penn State's Earth System Science Center, said the e-mails reflected the sort of "vigorous debate" researchers engage in before reaching scientific conclusions. "We shouldn't expect the sort of refined statements that scientists make when they're speaking in public," he said.
Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute who has questioned whether climate change is human-caused, blogged that the e-mails have "the makings of a very big" scandal. "Imagine this sort of news coming in the field of AIDS research," he added...*snip*
Christopher Horner - as mentioned in the previous article - can be seen here mopping the floor with a genuine global warming alarmist moonbat...
If there is legitimate scientific debate amongst those who are truly qualified to remark on such matters, then the outcome will hopefully put to death the lies we have been fed for at least the past 40 years. But I have my doubts. You see, too many governments have become dependent on the economic slavery of their populace and their financial system would break under the weight of an entire collapsing industry - that industry being todays definition of "green." The money that governments spend in one form or another, aimed at "green" research and development, would suddenly become unnecessary and hundreds of thousands of individuals would be joining the rest of us on the unemployment lines.

HAS THE ARMOR BEEN CRACKED???
Climate Skeptics See 'Smoking Gun' in Researchers' Leaked E-Mails
Saturday, November 21, 2009
FOX News
Hackers broke into the servers at a prominent British climate research center and leaked years worth of e-mail messages onto the Web, including one with a reference to a plan to "hide the decline" in temperatures.
The Internet is abuzz about the leaked data from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (commonly called Hadley CRU), which has acknowledged the theft of 61MB of confidential data.
Climate change skeptics describe the leaked data as a "smoking gun," evidence of collusion among climatologists and manipulation of data to support the widely held view that climate change is caused by the actions of mankind. The authors of some of the e-mails, however, accuse the skeptics of taking the messages out of context, adding that the evidence still clearly shows a warming trend.
The files were reportedly released on a Russian file-serve by an anonymous poster calling himself "FOIA."
In an exclusive interview in Investigate magazine's TGIF Edition, Phil Jones, the head of the Hadley CRU, confirmed that the leaked data is real.
"It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago," he told the magazine, noting that the center has yet to contact the police about the data breach.*snip*
The Telegraph has posted some of the more scathing excerpts from these emails, which the newspaper suggests points to manipulation of evidence and private doubts about the reality of global warming, though the much of the scientific language in the e-mails is esoteric and hard to interpret.*snip*
This is only the tip of a massive iceberg. The United Nations, Al Gore and many other globalist sycophants have been using fabricated scientific data to ram the fear of "global warming" down our throats for political gain and now we may have actual proof of their attempt at defrauding the entire civilized world.
As more and more evidence stacks up in defiance of the "global warming" myth, some are trying to get the word out and set the record straight...
New Documentary Challenges Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth' on Global Warming
Updated November 21, 2009
FOX News
In 2007, a British High Court judge ruled that Al Gore's global warming film contained nine significant errors and should no longer be screened in schools unless accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore's "one-sided" views.
Al Gore's award-winning global warming film "An Inconvenient Truth," socked two years ago by a British court ruling that found several errors, is facing additional scrutiny with the release of a new documentary that seeks to rebut many of Gore's claims.
In Gore's film, directed by Davis Guggenheim and released in 2006, the former vice president argues that humans are causing climate change, a problem he says is the biggest moral challenge facing the globe.
If humans don't act to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases, Gore contends, the deaths caused by climate change will double in 25 years to 300,000 people a year, and more than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction in half a century.
The film went on to win Academy Awards for Gore and Guggenheim and to re-energize the environmental movement.
But in 2007, a British High Court judge ruled that Gore's film contained nine significant errors and should no longer be screened in schools unless accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore's "one-sided" views.
The film's "apocalyptic vision" was not an impartial analysis of climate change, High Court Judge Michael Burton said, adding that the film is "substantially founded up scientific research and fact" but that the errors were made in "the context of alarmism and exaggeration."
Buoyed by the ruling, two Irish journalists -- Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney -- released a documentary in which they gather evidence outlining the damage of global warming hysteria. In "Not Evil Just Wrong," they challenge the claims made in Gore's film and conclude that the film is not worth screening in schools because it is shown there as "an article of science, not faith."*snip*
I beg to differ with the title of their documentary. Not only is it "Wrong," but I contend that it is very much EVIL as well. Here's another good TV documentary, which was shown in England, that make a very similar argument. I beg you, please watch this video...

We could argue the science with these people until hell freezes over and it wouldn't make a damned bit of difference. The bottom line is that this whole charade has been nothing more than political and social warfare. It is about time the rest of this world wakes up form their hypnotized ignorance of common sense and revolts against those who seek world domination.

Simple question... WTF?!?! *UPDATE*
Fmr. Governor Sarah Palin is on tour promoting her new book "Going Rogue." Several of her stops along the way include military bases where many - if not most of - the general population are her biggest fans. Now, I'm no expert on military protocol for VISITING STATE GOVERNORS!!!! But the following story reported on FOX News, left me a little puzzled. Like many of you out there, I got my own justified suspicions. Something just don't smell right and it will be curious to see if anyone can get to the bottom of this one.
Sarah Rules' Aren't Uniform at U.S. Military Bases
by
FOXNews.com
Officials at North Carolina's Fort Bragg have laid down a strict set of do's and don'ts for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during a book signing event there on Monday. But at Fort Hood, the largest military base in the nation, she'll be treated just like anyone else.
When it comes to the Sarah Palin "Rogue Tour," officials at Fort Bragg, one of the nation's largest military installations, appear to have laid down a strict set of do's and don'ts -- or did they?
Fort Bragg officials on Thursday said the news media would be barred from covering Palin's book-signing event scheduled for next Monday out of fear that it could turn into an anti-Obama rally.
Their decision reportedly also barred Palin from giving any speeches, autographs or taking photos with troops. Base officials later relented, allowing limited media coverage, but whether Palin was barred from speaking or interacting freely with base personnel and families was unclear.
"We have not put any restrictions on soldiers for taking any photos," said Tom McCollum, the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg. "Sarah Palin's people stepped forward and said she will not stop and pose for photos. That is not a Fort Bragg restriction."...*snip*
Army relents, allows media to Palin book event
Reverses earlier decision to bar reporters from Fort Bragg appearance
MSNBC/AP
November 20, 2009
RALEIGH, N.C. - The U.S. Army said Friday it would open former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's appearance on Fort Bragg to media, a reversal from earlier in the week when the military wanted the event closed out of fears it would prompt political grandstanding against President Barack Obama.
The attempt to ban media at the event scheduled for Monday was met with protests from The Associated Press and The Fayetteville Observer. The military then proposed limited media coverage, but lifted that plan Friday.
"Given an outpouring over the past two days of media interest in covering the Nov. 23 book signing at Fort Bragg's North Post Exchange, Fort Bragg will assist interested news media who wish to cover former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin," said a statement released by Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum.*snip*

Marine Fights for His Life and Fair Compensation
Reported by: Laura Nichols
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
KOMU News
SPRINGFIELD - The VA won't pay for one Marine's injury.
Lance Cpl. Josef Lopez deployed to Iraq in 2006 when he was 20 years-old. He enlisted in the Marine Corps fresh out of high school and was enthusiastic about serving to protect the lives of others. He never thought that he would almost lose his own life from something as routine as a vaccination....*snip*
The smallpox vaccine that Joe got from the Department of Defense just days before deployment was the reason for it all. Joe had an adverse reaction causing incredible damage. The bottom line: his immune system was eating away at his nervous system causing the nerves to deteriorate....*snip*
The VA Department of Insurance Chairman, Stephen Wurtz, says Joe was denied because his injury didn't come from a traumatic combat event, but from a needle. He also said the government can't afford to cover injuries from vaccines.
"Any additional claims under TSGLI are paid by the government, and the government would now be paying that many more claims during a period of conflict," Wurtz commented.
Lopez said what upset him even more is the fact that they amended the TSGLI bill after he applied to specifically disqualify vaccine injuries form compensation. The Lopezes visited Missouri U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill to explain their fight for fair compensation. McCaskill is now working on a bill that would extend coverage to service members injured by vaccines.
"It would give him the same coverage and frankly I really think we need to take care of this young man and his family," Sen. McCaskill said in a satellite interview with KOMU. "He was willing to take care of us."
Through all of this Joe is not just sitting around. He now races a specially made hand cycle in the Marine Corps Marathon each October to raise money for other Marine families. His mom, Barbara participates in the 10K....*snip*
Every now and then I give a thumb up to those stuck in a Democrat party that has been hijacked by liberals and communists. Going out of your way to do something right for our men and women in the armed forces is a good way of receiving my acclamation. For the most part, Senator McCaskill is one of your more fiscally conservative Dems. She's also one of those "blue-dogs" who is currently fearing the wrath of her constituents to vote against Harry Reid's 2000+ page health care reform bill. Missouri residents need to keep working on her to make sure she does just that.

ATHEIST SOROS FUNDS CATHOLIC GROUPS
By Cliff Kincaid
November 13, 2009
NewsWithViews.com
The critical role of the Catholic Church in passing national health care reform legislation is coming under serious media scrutiny. But the story has taken a strange turn. It has now been revealed that George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund operator and well-known atheist, has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into “progressive” Catholic groups that are significant players in the national debates over health care and immigration.
On the surface, it would appear that Soros would be opposed to many positions of the Catholic Church. A major financial backer of the ACLU, Soros supports such causes as drug legalization, the rights of “sex workers” and felons, euthanasia, radical feminism, abortion rights, and homosexual rights. He does all of this in the name of promoting an “open society.”
But a review of the records of his Open Society Institute finds that a group calling itself Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) has received $200,000 from them over the last several years.
James Todd of Pewsitter.com, which represents traditional Catholics, calls such groups “CINOs,” or Catholics In Name Only. He explains, “This group and several others have sprung up recently—I suspect purposely organized and funded—to counterbalance the growing influence of the faithful Catholics AND to try to deceive and mislead the middle of the road Catholics that have determined the last 13 Presidential elections.”
An AIM investigation also finds, however, that Soros money has gone into the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC), an organization established by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops back in 1988. It has received at least $530,000 from the Open Society Institute.
The two issues merge in the fact that the Catholic Bishops are demanding that national health care legislation cover illegal aliens...*snip*
If anyone deserves the title and recognition as THE ONE AND ONLY BEAST as prophesied in the Book of Revelation, it should rightfully belong to none other than George Soros. This man is the epitome of all that is evil in this world today. He is a self-deprecating Jew, intent on the destruction of all men's souls on earth. Aside from assisting the Nazis in the murder of his own people during WWII, this man has wielded his wealth and influence across the globe in the forceful propagation of abortion, euthanasia, prostitution, homosexuality, feminism, atheism, class warfare, and communism. The more he twists this world into his version of the Devil's play land, the wealthier and more powerful he becomes.
For years he has been the bane of all that is holy to the Catholic Church. This man has dedicated his life to the demoralization of the general population within the Church as well as the decline of overall moral fortitude in civilized society at large. Pay close attention to this individual. His is the true power and influence behind Obama and his radical agenda of transforming our country into a smoldering pit of sewage. I emphatically contend that George Soros has done more in the name of true evil against humanity than the terrorist attacks of 9-11... tenfold!!!
Uh oh, someone forgot to pay off the politico corruptos...
When I read this article, the first thing that entered my mind was that someone forgot to grease the palm of some filthy politician(s).
City’s Largest Dailies Raided in Deliverers’ Union Inquiry

The police raided the offices of New York City’s three largest daily newspapers on Tuesday as part of an investigation into possible corruption within the union that delivers newspapers in the metropolitan area.

More conspiratorial assumptions cause me to think that maybe what we are bearing witness to here is an extension of an inside DNC political mafia war between Chicago and New York. Remember, Governor Patterson and President Obama aren't exactly on good terms these days.
