A New Dawn

As 2012 draws to an end, we face many challenges as a nation and as human beings. We know that uncertainty can lead to fear, but if we understand more fully, the purpose of our existence, our desire to persevere, and our commitment to survival in these perilous times, we find the will to make necessary changes in preparation for the worst as we fervently pray for the best.

Nine years ago, I started blogging with the intent of lending my voice to countless others like myself, who saw their country being threatened from evil abroad. Sadly, over that time, we have found that our greatest enemy was not on the soil of some third world country, but within our own borders, as those who have been elected to protect us, now plot to strip us of our Constitutional rights, our sovereignty, our liberty and our way of life, while, at the same time, robing us of our financial means and shackling our children and grand-children to a national debt so tremendous, it guarantees that we will NEVER be able to recover and stand as the strongest and most prosperous nation on the Earth.

Shortly after starting my weblog here at Google, I decided to break free and start my own website. www.mofizixgr4fix.com was born and over the years I have spent countless hours building it up into a great blog. At one time I was ranked among the top 10% of all blogs on the interwebs, totaling in the hundreds of thousands. As time drove on, I found it harder and harder to find sufficient time to keep bloging, but I would always keep it alive by paying the annual hosting web and address registration fees in the hopes that I would find more time to devote to it... until this past year.

With a new job and the easy means of communication that social networking offers, I let nearly an entire year go by with hardly a single posting to show for it. I guess you can couple that with a lack of enthusiasm brought on in part by my disappointment in our country's resolve for real political change. It appears the majority of this country would rather live high on borrowed time than secure a future for our prodigy. In turn, that leaves the rest of us who are concerned about such things out in the cold planning now for the inevitable. So, with tightening funds making it impossible to continue, I have finally decided to close down my beloved website and move back here.

Over the following months and years, I hope to find the time to transfer all my postings back here to www.mofizixgr4fix.blogspot.com and with a bit of luck, I may be able to make this an even better experience than before.

To all who have taken the time to read this posting and to those who have followed my postings over the years, I wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year!

It's Not Rocket Science

My thoughts and prayers with all those who have suffered such horrific loss in today's school massacre. It is nearly an equal tragedy to see all of these idiot pundits and politicians out there demanding more ineffective and inconsequential gun control legislation. I don't give a FLIPPIN' RAT'S ASS how many laws they put in place to ban guns, sick criminal bastards will still have them and be able to get them and the rest of us will be left as defenseless sheep. Now, on the other hand, if there were trained CCW citizens in that school, that sick bastard might not have made it out of the principal's office alive. Look at Switzerland. They have compulsory military service, where ALL their citizens are armed, trained and allowed to keep their weapons, and their murder rate is nearly non existent.... because even those with criminal intent KNOW if they even tried to pull this kind of shit, they would be shot down on the spot! A gun is like a hammer; used with respect and training, it is a tool that can be used for a great deal of good, but in the hands of a madman, it can kill. Don't be so quick to give up liberty for safety. As Ben Franklin stated "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." The deeper problem in today's American society is the breakdown of traditional family and God fearing values. As long as those continue to deteriorate, so shall our society.

Moving Back In - 8 YEARS LATER!

With the economy the way it has been for the past 4 years and likely to continue now for the next 4, I have no choice but to come back here to Google blogs. I can't say that I am happy about this - given Google's past record of free speech abuse when it comes to conservative bloggers -  but for lack of better options, this will have to do. I've completely backed up my other website and hope to migrate some of it into this half-assed site, but nothing is guaranteed. Now all I need is some time to dress this place up.... good luck with that :/

MOAR?!?!

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...

Climategate 2.0: New E-Mails Rock The Global Warming Debate
By James Taylor
Published: 11/23/2011

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.

THIS...

...is probably the most brutally honest statement I've seen in a very looooong time ...had to share.

Thanks Rodger

New Frontiers

After 14 months of searching for a new employment, I finally got a job working in the lighting design industry. Despite being contractual work and a substantial reduction in salary, I am happy to have it. It's a small branch office for a large corporation only 13 miles from home, the people are nice, I get to do 3D modeling and rendering, and I'm already being seriously considered for permanent employment with a higher position. Unfortunately, the transition for me into a new tech field requires a substantial amount focus and research.

In case you haven't notice, there hasn't been a whole lot happening here lately or over at my Facebook account. I'm also finding it hard making time to keep up with the sites I used to frequent on a daily basis. I hope that in the near future, I will be able to find the time necessary to resume my usual internet activity including posting at MoFiZiXGr4FiX.com. Thanks for your understanding.

SPOILED ROTTEN!!!

Walker releases figures on public versus private benefits
By Lee Bergquist of the Journal Sentinel
Dec. 10, 2010

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!

...oh, BTW, Manbearpig isn't real either.

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...

Al Gore Explains 'Snowmageddon'
By Gene J. Koprowski
Published February 03, 2011 | FoxNews.com

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.

Democracy supporters should not fear the Muslim Brotherhood
By Abdel Moneim Abou el-Fotouh
Wednesday, February 9, 2011

Like Egyptians from all walks of life, we in the Muslim Brotherhood are taking part in the popular uprising to depose a repressive dictator. The overwhelming majority of Egyptians demand the immediate ouster of Hosni Mubarak and his regime.

Once this basic demand is met, we seek to share in the debate sweeping the country and to be part of the resolution, which we hope will culminate in a democratic form of government. Egyptians want freedom from tyranny, a democratic process and an all-inclusive dialogue to determine our national goals and our future, free of foreign intervention.

We are mindful, however, as a nonviolent Islamic movement subjected to six decades of repression, that patent falsehoods, fear mongering and propaganda have been concocted against us in Mubarak's palaces the past 30 years and by some of his patrons in Washington. Lest partisan interests in the United States succeed in aborting Egypt's popular revolution, we are compelled to unequivocally deny any attempt to usurp the will of the people. Nor do we plan to surreptitiously dominate a post-Mubarak government. The Brotherhood has already decided not to field a candidate for president in any forthcoming elections. We want to set the record straight so that any Middle East policy decisions made in Washington are based on facts and not the shameful - and racist - agendas of Islamophobes.

*snip*

Calling your detractors a shameful bunch of racists in response to being outed by numerous accurate historical accounts and factual evidence? Hmmm, now where did I hear that strategy being used before???

But wait; there's more: We then have our very own Director of National Intelligence, Jake Clapper, tell the House Intelligence Committee that the Muslim brotherhood is a “very heterogeneous group, largely secular” who has "eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam.” Oh really???

Is it just me or does anyone else sense a Neville Chamberlain level of arrogant naiveté in this administration???

SERIOUSLY, FOLKS... WTF?!?!

Sorry Ben; better luck next year.

BRING IT ON!!!

Roll over for my obvious prediction...

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???
