I spoke about this in length, back a couple of years ago when the first round of leaked emails hit the streets. Since then, the green communist movement (new color of the old RED communist movement) has backed off much of the global warming hype, largely due to the climate scientist email scandal appropriately named "CLIMATE-GATE." Now we're dealing with just CLIMATE CHANGE, as opposed to the more radical term "GLOBAL WARMING," leaving out the nagging belief that global climate fluctuations are somehow man made, out of mainstream circulation so as not to seem overtly insane.
Well, folks, here we go; Prepare yourself for CLIMATE-GATE 2.0!!!
A new batch of emails have hit the street and they appear to crush any shred of doubt that global climate research has manipulated data intentionally for the purpose of socialist political gain...
A new batch of 5,000 emails among scientists central to the assertion that humans are causing a global warming crisis were anonymously released to the public yesterday, igniting a new firestorm of controversy nearly two years to the day after similar emails ignited the Climategate scandal.
Three themes are emerging from the newly released emails: (1) prominent scientists central to the global warming debate are taking measures to conceal rather than disseminate underlying data and discussions; (2) these scientists view global warming as a political “cause” rather than a balanced scientific inquiry and (3) many of these scientists frankly admit to each other that much of the science is weak and dependent on deliberate manipulation of facts and data.
Governor-elect Scott Walker kept up his claim that public employee benefits must be reined in by releasing figures comparing the benefits of public and private sector workers.
Public sector unions have taken issue with Walker's comments that he made this week in which he talked about weakening public employee unions and controlling benefits to help attack the state's deficit. Unions have also emphasized that while benefits might be greater, salaries are often lower.
Here is a portion of Walker's statement:
* The average employer contribution for private sector retirement plans is 5.3% of payroll. The employer portion of the contribution for the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) ranges between 10.55% and 13.3% of payroll (WPRI report: The Imbalance Between Public and Private Pensions in Wisconsin).
* The Milwaukee Public School system spends up to $26,846 per year to provide family health insurance coverage for teachers. The nationwide average for family health insurance coverage for all public and private employers is only $13,770 (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sept 12, 2010 article entitled: Public workers' generous benefits come at a price).
* Nationwide, all public and private employees pay an average of 29% of their annual health care premiums. Milwaukee Public School teachers pay only 8% on average. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sept 12, 2010 article entitled: Public workers' generous benefits
*snip*
Ten percent of this country is STILL out of work, massive inflation on consumable goods is draining our family budget, health insurance premiums take the rest of our paychecks leaving most of us with left for ANY kind of retirement, and a bunch of spoiled whining union brats are throwing a temper tantrum over having to actually pay something toward their medical and pension plans. Then they bitch about their "collective bargaining rights" being taken away. No, not all, just some. If the government didn't make those changes, there would be no guarantees that John Q. Taxpayer wouldn't get screwed by these Marxists in the future. Even with these changes, I assure you, there are plenty of people out there right now that would be ECSTATIC to have that kind of compensation! If this wasn't so serious, I'd LMAO! Fer cryin' out loud, where do I sign up? SHEESH!
Back in January, when the Northeast was getting pummeled with snow storms and bone-chilling arctic air on a weekly basis, the Baron of Bullshit came out and, in a vain attempt to salvage his Nobel prize wining reputation, proclaimed that global warming was the cause of all this crazy winter weather...
If the planet is warming, why is a third of America locked in a deep freeze, with record-low temperatures as far south as the Mexican border, where the thermometer in Ciudad Juarez plummeted Wednesday night to a bone-chilling 9-below zero?
Self-proclaimed planetary climate czar Al Gore thinks he has answer.
"As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now, and they say increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming," Gore write in a blog post. The Nobel Prize-winning former vice president was responding to a question posed by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, who wondered on air why global warming was such an urgent science policy priority when the New York City area had become a “tundra” this winter.
Gore also indicated that he believes a rise in global temperatures is creating “all sorts of havoc,” from hotter dry spells to colder winters and ever more violent storms. This is even endangering certain species of animals and leading to forest fires and floods.
*snip*
One week later, the Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project released their findings from a study they did using a supercomputer to analyze global weather data recorded over the past 140 years, essentially debunking most of what Al Gore now claims...
The Weather Isn't Getting Weirder The latest research belies the idea that storms are getting more extreme. By ANNE JOLIS WSJ Opinion Journal FEBRUARY 10, 2011
Last week a severe storm froze Dallas under a sheet of ice, just in time to disrupt the plans of the tens of thousands of (American) football fans descending on the city for the Super Bowl. On the other side of the globe, Cyclone Yasi slammed northeastern Australia, destroying homes and crops and displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
Some climate alarmists would have us believe that these storms are yet another baleful consequence of man-made CO2 emissions. In addition to the latest weather events, they also point to recent cyclones in Burma, last winter's fatal chills in Nepal and Bangladesh, December's blizzards in Britain, and every other drought, typhoon and unseasonable heat wave around the world.
But is it true? To answer that question, you need to understand whether recent weather trends are extreme by historical standards. The Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project is the latest attempt to find out, using super-computers to generate a dataset of global atmospheric circulation from 1871 to the present.
As it happens, the project's initial findings, published last month, show no evidence of an intensifying weather trend. "In the climate models, the extremes get more extreme as we move into a doubled CO2 world in 100 years," atmospheric scientist Gilbert Compo, one of the researchers on the project, tells me from his office at the University of Colorado, Boulder. "So we were surprised that none of the three major indices of climate variability that we used show a trend of increased circulation going back to 1871."
In other words, researchers have yet to find evidence of more-extreme weather patterns over the period, contrary to what the models predict. "There's no data-driven answer yet to the question of how human activity has affected extreme weather," adds Roger Pielke Jr., another University of Colorado climate researcher.
We do know that carbon dioxide and other gases trap and re-radiate heat. We also know that humans have emitted ever-more of these gases since the Industrial Revolution. What we don't know is exactly how sensitive the climate is to increases in these gases versus other possible factors—solar variability, oceanic currents, Pacific heating and cooling cycles, planets' gravitational and magnetic oscillations, and so on.
Given the unknowns, it's possible that even if we spend trillions of dollars, and forgo trillions more in future economic growth, to cut carbon emissions to pre-industrial levels, the climate will continue to change—as it always has.
*snip*
Despite the environmental rhetoric of leftist politicians who are trying desperately to control the flow of the world's wealth by proclaiming the sky is falling, the proof is in the pudding. I find it analogous to the way that Obama says that the government must spend our tax dollars in order to get control of our debt. In other words, folks; it just ain't happenin'! They can talk it up, skew the numbers and try to fool the people all they want, but in the end, only truth will set us free.
...obviously, some animals are more equal than others.
Obama issues global warming rules in January, gives GE an exemption in February By: Timothy P. Carney 02/02/11 4:50 PM Senior Political Columnist, The Examiner
Last month, the Obama EPA began enforcing new rules regulating the greenhouse gas emissions from any new or expanded power plants.
This week, the EPA issued its first exemption, Environment & Energy News reports: The Obama administration will spare a stalled power plant project in California from the newest federal limits on greenhouse gases and conventional air pollution, U.S. EPA says in a new court filing that marks a policy shift in the face of industry groups and Republicans accusing the agency of holding up construction of large industrial facilities.
According to a declaration by air chief Gina McCarthy, officials reviewed EPA policies and decided it was appropriate to "grandfather" projects such as the Avenal Power Center, a proposed 600-megawatt power plant in the San Joaquin Valley, so they are exempted from rules such as new air quality standards for smog-forming nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
There's something interesting about the Avenal Power Center: The proposed Avenal Energy project will be a combined-cycle generating plant consisting of two natural gas-fired General Electric 7FA Gas Turbines with Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and one General Electric Steam Turbine.
Maybe GE CEO Jeff Immelt's closeness to President Obama, and his broad support for Obama's agenda, had nothing to do with this exemption. But we have no way of knowing that, and given the administration's record of regularly misleading Americans regarding lobbyists, frankly, I wouldn't trust the White House if they told me there was no connection.
*snip*
Ok, so while GE may or may not be directly benefiting from Obama administration policy *cough*cough*, here is something else for you to consider: The National Broadcast Corporation (NBC), who has been Mr. Obama's biggest and most vocal lap-dog in broadcast media, is owned and operated by General Electric. It goes without saying that Washington has always been a town where politicians direct policy, favorable to certain groups and businesses in return for political favors, but this is full tilt conflict of interest! What ever happened to the Presidential candidate, back in 2008, that promised no more secret backroom deals with special interests? Hmmm???
The full text of the decision from Federal Judge Roger Vinson is not available yet, but according to reporters who've seen the decision, he's ruled the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. The ruling favors of the 26 state attorney generals challenging the law. The judge ruled the individual mandate that requires all Americans to purchase health insurance invalid and, according to the decision, "because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void."
This ruling is even more significant than last month's ruling against Obamacare in Federal Court in Richmond, Virgina. This time, half of the entire country was represented in this suit, and also, the whole law has been found unconstitutional!!! Ultimately, the Supreme Court will likely have the final word on this piece of crap legislation, but so far, chances of it being relegated to the dust bin of history are looking very good!!!
With oil futures prepared to exceed $100 per barrel because of political upheaval in Egypt, why is it that the Obama administration and his bureaucrat brown-shirts in the EPA are continuing to stand on the necks of domestic oil producers here in the United States? Sharp rises in cost at the gas pump in an economy already gripped with inflation is a recipe for disaster. Seriously folks, WTF are we doing, still depending on foreign sources of oil? Why are we continuing to line the pockets of nations who are not friendly to us in order to buy THEIR resources? None of this makes any sense. If shit REALLY hits the fan in Egypt and the Suez Canal oil shipments are disrupted, how long will it be before the United States uses military intervention to correct that problem? I thought the leftists in this country (now in control of the federal government) were dead-set against spilling blood for oil.
Like it or not, in order to secure our country's economic future and pay off our MASSIVE debt, we need to have abundant, inexpensive energy to increase our GDP. At present, oil and coal are our most abundant natural resource for producing energy. Alternative energy sources are not able to meet that demand, sufficiently. Since global warming is proving to be nothing but a crock of shit, there are only two other reasons I can think of for developing alternative sources of energy: First, to improve air quality in urban areas, and secondly, because we are still unsure of how much oil and coal we'll have left. Alternative energy technology is making advancements, but not nearly fast enough for it to be cost effective. In the mean time, we NEED to have less restricted access to our own carbon based fuels to produce cheap energy. That would go a long way toward reducing inflation and boosting our economic output.
This video, posted by my Conservative Facebook friend, Ryan D. Hatch, lays out an explanation of the Federal Reserve Bank, its function, its history, and its relentless strangle-hold on individual freedom in the most straight-forward and easy to understand terms possible. This is NOT right wing propaganda, but Factual Economic History 101. Every child should be taught this material in school and know it as a requirement for graduation.
RICHMOND, Va.—A federal court ruled Monday that a central plank of the health law violates the Constitution, dealing the biggest setback yet to the Obama administration's signature legislative accomplishment.
In a 42-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said the law's requirement that most Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty "exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power."
The individual mandate "would invite unbridled exercise of federal police powers," wrote Judge Hudson, of the Eastern District of Virginia. "At its core, this dispute is not simply about regulating the business of insurance—or crafting a scheme of universal health insurance coverage—it's about an individual's right to choose to participate."
The lawsuit, brought by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, is the first court ruling against the law since President Barack Obama signed it in March. More than 20 federal lawsuits have been filed against the overhaul, and judges in two of those cases ruled in favor of the Obama administration.
While the ruling creates a headache for the law's supporters, it doesn't mean states or the federal government must stop implementing the law.
*snip*
Even though the fight isn't over to stop the federal government's takeover of the healthcare system - presently the greatest system in the world, it's about time a judge with common sense ruled that this nightmare called Obamacare was in fact unconstitutional. Seriously, WTF gives them the right to force me into buy anything against my will?!?! So he can rape my grandchildren's future in order to pay for this bureaucratic monstrosity?!?!?! I realize that this is going to end up being decided by the Supreme Court, but why was this crap allowed to even be signed into law in the first place??? Hopefully SCOTUS will support this lower court's ruling that the federal government has no right to impose individual mandates for health care coverage and if that's the case, then Obamacare will fall apart completely because without the ability to penalize taxpayers for not having health care coverage, there won't be enough money available to sustain the program.
Lately, there appears to be a new trend in how large municipalities deal with budgetary shortfalls. It seems that in most instances, emergency, education and infrastructure maintenance services are first in line for cuts. WHY?!?!
NEWARK, N.J. (CBS 2/1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – There is concern and worry in New Jersey’s largest city.
Newark residents were wondering Tuesday if their streets were safe after 14 percent of the city’s police officers were laid off, CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman reports.
The mayor of Newark and his police director said even with 167 officers laid off, people will not notice a difference on the street.
“Newark residents should know that tonight. We will have virtually the same amount of people, on patrol. As we had last night. And the night before,” Mayor Cory Booker said.
But that answer was not giving the citizens comfort.
“The criminals are sitting back, saying, ‘Oh boy. I like this. I like this!’” resident Emma Montgomery said...
*snip*
That's just the most recent example I've seen. Over the past couple of years, I've been seeing it more and more, and it's always large populated cities and coincidentally almost always run by Democrats. Not to sound overly partisan on this issue, but come on folks, we're talking political demographics 101 here. All you have to do is Google "city budget cut services" and you'll see what I'm talking about. But why? Why cut such important and essential services that would surely result in severely diminishing the quality of life for all people living and working in these metropolitan areas? Aside from the fact that union pensions are now strangling these large municipalities, I believe politicians target essential services for budget cuts in order to justify raising local taxes and service fees. By raping the taxpayers, politicians can pay off the unions to secure their political support and campaign contributions. In the meantime, emergency service workers are being used as pawns in a game of political chess. Until politicians begin cutting non-essential items from their budgets and union leaders stop shoving unaffordable contracts down the throats of taxpayers, emergency service workers, and moreover, society in general, will always be at their mercy.
St. Petersburg, Russia - China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday.
Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies.
"About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.
The two countries were accustomed to using other currencies, especially the dollar, for bilateral trade. Since the financial crisis, however, high-ranking officials on both sides began to explore other possibilities.
The yuan has now started trading against the Russian rouble in the Chinese interbank market, while the renminbi will soon be allowed to trade against the rouble in Russia, Putin said.
"That has forged an important step in bilateral trade and it is a result of the consolidated financial systems of world countries," he said...
*snip*
Now that China and Russia (for all intents and purposes, both still very much communist nations) have unpegged from the dollar, what will happen to our economy here in the USA? A much quicker onset of hyper-inflation! This is what many economists have feared would happen if we strapped our debt to the mercy foreign nations, as the following article adequately explains...
...What if China Steps Out of the US Treasury Market? Two possibilities then lie before us: higher interest rates to lure new investors or the Federal Reserve will have to step in as the main buyer. Some say that the former is not even an option right now because of what higher rates will do to our economy, therefore the latter is the only immediate possibility. Eventually, a combination of the two is the most likely scenario. As the Fed becomes the main buyer of US debt (in other words, as we monetize our debt), inflation then kicks into high gear because we are basically just printing money at an incredible rate at that point. To try and curb this inflation, higher interest rates will soon follow. When this happens you should already be well positioned in commodities; mainly precious metals. When the rest of the world finally figures this out, the gold rush we will have will be unlike anything we have ever seen. Let not your heart be troubled. If you make the right moves now you will survive; maybe even thrive...
*snip*
I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but I've been keeping an eye this SHTF scenario stuff since 9-11 and this has all the indications of being the real deal. My spidey senses are tingling and the boy scout in me has been causing me to prepare for what I only see now as inevitability. NOW is the time, folks! Buy gold, stock up on canned and dry foods, try to secure additional cooking and heating fuels, and re-surplus your defensive and emergency measures - yes, guns and ammo, first aid supplies, etc. I'm not telling you this because I'm following the marching orders of anyone else; I'm telling you this because I've been researching this stuff on my own for nearly 10 years. Good luck and God willing, we will survive this storm.
Well, we saw it coming months ago; With the economy in near depression and inflation threatening to make a bad winter even worse, for the past few months, retailers have been shoving holiday sales down our throats in hopes of turning some kind of profit before year's end. The early Christmas push has been getting worse and worse each year. Just last year, I was joking with my wife that before you know it, they'll be advertising for Christmas the day after July 4th! Trust me folks, you didn't need to be Nostradamus to figure that out. However, unlike previous years, I don't think retail holiday greed is solely to blame this time around. Like us on the consumer end, I believe retailers are pulling out all the stops in hopes of just surviving this horrible recession.
While prices are being slashed for the holidays to just above wholesale on most of the unnecessary garbage people feel the need to clutter their lives with, prices on everything considered to be necessities are going through the roof!!! Food, common household items and hygiene products have gotten way more expensive. Just about everything in the grocery store has either gone up in price or manufacturers are reducing weights and/or quantities in products in order to keep prices the same. The price of gas is back up over $3.00 a gallon and I'm sure heating oil and electricity increases will follow, especially if we suffer a cold winter. On average, it costs me an extra 10 dollars more to fill my Jeep's gas tank than it did just six months ago. Health insurance costs have become unaffordable (yeah, I know, don't get me started on that). Taxes and government service fees like DMV costs feel like they've doubled over the past couple of year. The real estate market is still extremely stagnant and unemployment is at levels I haven't seen since the Jimmy Carter days. Yet, they still won't call this a RECESSION?!?! But, I digress.
Despite all those economic woes, an increase in consumer turnout at some stores appears to be a prediction of good fourth quarter earnings. But should that be taken as concrete proof that the economy is on the upswing? Likely not. Everyone I've talked to tells me how much harder their families are struggling than they were this time last year. They're traveling less, shopping only when stores offer big sales, reducing their monthly expenses to a bare minimum and even clipping coupons to save money on groceries - something many claim they've never done in the past.
Many also tell me that they've even been preparing their children for the holidays this year by telling them not to expect a lot of stuff for Christmas. And while that may not bode well for the retail sector, it does give me some hope to know that folks are shedding some of the excess materialism that comes with Christmas and Hanukkah. Hopefully there will be more focus on the real meaning of the holidays and not be so reliant on gift wrapped presents to make the seasons bright. Speaking for my family, our kids only get a couple of toys each along with some new clothing, games (non-electronic) and books. I don't know about folks, but we just can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a bunch of crap that gets played with for a couple of weeks and then tossed in a closet where it sits for the next several years until it becomes yard sale fodder.
Economic conditions not withstanding, Christmas is supposed to be, first and foremost, about celebrating the birth of Christ and Hanukkah is supposed to be a remembrance of Jewish perseverance and victory over their enemies. More generally speaking, the holiday season is supposed to be about friends and family, charity and compassion, peace and good will. Regardless if we can afford to spend large amounts of money to make ourselves and others around us happy, we should all focus more on what really is most important, because even though your financial situation appears stable at present, everything can change in the blink of an eye and it is times like those that we rely on friends and family to help us survive the new year.
There will always be a segment of society that continues to enjoy economic prosperity, but in this economy, How long do you think that will last? I believe the vast majority of us are hanging on by a thread, living paycheck to paycheck, pinching pennies, tightening their belts, and hunkering down for a long, dark, cold, and frugal winter.
Obama's lack of constitutional eligibility to serve as POTUS aside, the single most criminal act of this president and his enablers is their brazen determination to torpedo our domestic and international economic superiority through unconstitutional executive, legislative and judicial fiat. Throughout our nation's history, we have proven over and over again that the driving force behind our strength and prosperity has been our system of unrestrained free market enterprise. Government controlled socialist bureaucracies combined with burdensome taxation policies inevitably lead to clipping unemployment, authoritarian dependence, intellectual slavery and runaway entitlement mentality. For years the Chinese have known that they would be unable to defeat us due to this fact alone. Unrestrained innovation and ability to produce wealth has enabled us to achieve what China and the Soviet Union has been unable to accomplish through decades of communist control. By rendering our Constitution impotent through a process of progressive policies, the leadership of this country is condemning us to absolute failure and destruction. In all honesty, impeachment and censure for criminals such as these would be too light a punishment for such treason.
* Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing * There has been no global warming since 1995 * Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes
The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming...
*snip*
You know what amazes me even more than the absolute arrogance and determination of the Obama administration to combat AGW by taxing carbon emissions? It's the fact that the most outspoken critics in the media against this ridiculous hoax are from the same country where PM Margaret Thatcher started this lie about "global warming" in the first place back in 1988 in order to turn public sentiment against the striking coal miner's union! AND SHE WAS A LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY!!!
Ok, I think I've had enough confusion to last me a lifetime. Screw this, I'm going to bed.

In 2007, the most comprehensive report to date on global warming, issued by the respected United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, made a shocking claim: The Himalayan glaciers could melt away as soon as 2035.
These glaciers provide the headwaters for Asia's nine largest rivers and lifelines for the more than one billion people who live downstream. Melting ice and snow would create mass flooding, followed by mass drought. The glacier story was reported around the world. Last December, a spokesman for the World Wildlife Fund, an environmental pressure group, warned, “The deal reached at Copenhagen will have huge ramifications for the lives of hundreds of millions of people who are already highly vulnerable due to widespread poverty.” To dramatize their country's plight, Nepal's top politicians strapped on oxygen tanks and held a cabinet meeting on Mount Everest.
But the claim was rubbish, and the world's top glaciologists knew it. It was based not on rigorously peer-reviewed science but on an anecdotal report by the WWF itself. When its background came to light on the eve of Copenhagen, Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the IPCC, shrugged it off. But now, even leading scientists and environmental groups admit the IPCC is facing a crisis of credibility that makes the Climategate affair look like small change.
“The global warming movement as we have known it is dead,” the brilliant analyst Walter Russell Mead says in his blog on The American Interest. It was done in by a combination of bad science and bad politics...

That's all well and good, but if you think it's going to change policy in Washington, you don't know the progressive movement behind the modern Democrat party.
Before I begin with this post, please let me emphasize the importance of watching the videos I have provided below. I tried to find the shortest clips so as not to bore you to death, but to give you what I believe to be the concise and factually accurate narrative of the subject I am about to discuss. I know I've been absent for a while, but I say to you now, this is one of the most prolific entries I have ever made on this website. Sadly, to most folks, these topics go largely ignored because many have been lulled to sleep by preoccupation with prime-time television entertainment, video games and text messaging chatter about who is most likely to win the next American Idol contest. I assure you, unless more attention is paid to the topics I am about to present to you here in this posting, we will be in for a extremely rude awakening in the very near future.
Thank you, The Management
We are at the precipice of an historic and devastating shift in global socio-economics. For better than a century, communist social engineers have been hard at work devising the complete takeover of free market society and are about to see their dreams of world-wide control come to fruition. Masked in a disguise of utopianist and liberal ideology, their real desire is to attain conquest over the entire planet and exercise absolute control over all humanity, giving over all power, wealth, and control into the hands of a select few.
One of the very first systems of control in the United States was organized in the early 20th century was the establishment of the Federal Reserve. By strapping the nation in debt, progressives sought to lay the foundation of eventual economic collapse. It was heralded as sound means of controlling the nation's monetary system, but from its inception, those who devised this method of financial slavery knew that in the end, only those in control of it would retain the spoils of victory.
The first storm has formed and is gathering more strength with the passing of each day. Through years of indoctrinating America's youth into believing that only by the collective spirit, can societies truly prosper, and demonizing the very principles that made our country the greatest nation in the world, academic elitists have been able to effectively lead the sheep to their slaughter, and as the majority of our nation's citizens lie fast asleep - preoccupied with their selfish motivations - the most powerful financial system in the world was slowly being brought to its knees. With the burst of the real estate bubble, our economy was left in near ruin. This, in turn, prompted those responsible for orchestrating the disaster in the first place to move against the mortgage and banking industry in order to place control of it into the their own hands - the hands of power hungry politicians - the last place anything should be entrusted for salvation.
Then, without pause, Washington set to work on taking control of the nation's health care system. Mandating coverage of all citizenry not only would give them the glory of appearing to be the provider of heath for every man, woman, and child - securing votes through dependence on government subsidies - but would also line the pockets of union officials, government contracted health care entities and special interest groups who, in turn, would funnel money back to the politicians who keep them fat and happy through campaign contributions and other "legitimate" loopholed kickbacks. The darker side of the reason why progressives want to control the nations health care system is their desire to effectively maintain population control through their mandates of free abortion, sterilization and euthanasia. The second storm has formed.
As if two storms wasn't bad enough, there is now a third storm looming on the horizon which, if it goes to a full category 5 as I fear it will, has the propensity of combining with the first two, creating an economic disaster of biblical proportions. This storm will be the death kneel for the United States of America and will mercilessly ravage what little vestiges of freedom and security we have left. This monster was spawned under the lie that carbon emissions have a direct impact on the changes in our earth's climate. First, they tried to attribute the rise in man made carbon dioxide to the descent in global temperatures. In the 1970s, they proclaimed that the Earth was heading toward a new ice age. When that didn't pan out due to the "unexpected" INCREASE in global temperatures, they quickly moved to recast it as "global warming." On cue, they tried to attribute the rise in man made carbon dioxide to the RISE in global temperatures. They claimed that in only a scant few years the earth would overheat, burn up everything and wipe out humanity. When that didn't pan out due to the "unexpected" DECLINE in global temperatures, they quickly moved to recast it as "global climate change."
Now, with the last free nation in the world fallen into the hands of socialist political control, the wealthiest and most powerful are moving at breakneck speed to drop the hammer and complete the deal ensuring the enslavement of all humanity.
This is not a conspiracy theory, folks. What I share with you here is not a hodgepodge of unsubstantiated fact or innuendo. These forces of evil are culminating into a perfect storm that will leave no ship unturned in its wake. I tell you folks with the utmost sincerity, this is the true face of the Beast as mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Not a single individual, as many had anticipated, but a broad network of the most extremely wealthy and powerful people on the face of the Earth, and we are looking down the barrel of the largest gun that has ever been pointed at he heart of individual liberty and freedom. Unless the good people of this nation and the world wake up from their slumber and do what is necessary as soon as possible, our future will cease to exist.
Now that I am thoroughly exhausted and have to be to work in just a few hours, I will now be dumping my weary bones in the sac and calling it quits for tonight. Thanks for your attention.
...The Democratic-controlled Senate Finance Committee approved the measure by 14-9, with Senator Olympia Snowe becoming the first Republican in Congress to back a healthcare reform bill.
Isn't it about time this jackass gets the boot from the RNC? I mean, come on folks, don't give this idiot the opportunity to go the same route as Snarlin' Arlin Specter or even Jumpin' Jim Jeffords for that matter. If the Republican party had any balls left, they wouldn't give a rat's ass about loosing one more red seat in the Senate to the communist party majority and straight-up kick her ass out. Such a move would strengthen the conservative base and send a clear message to the rest of America that the Republican party stands firm on fiscal principle. Oh, wait, is that asking too much? Well perhaps it's because they DON'T have the balls or the backbone to stand on such principle, which is why the RNC continues to receive $0.00 dollars in campaign funds from me and millions of other disheartened right minded folks in this country who are sick and tired of supporting their sorry asses.
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.
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".
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...
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.
