Frank Salvanto says we have a perfect storm coming from two enormous threats. The denial of the Islamic threat and the fifth column called the progressive Left. This storm will destroy this nation if the American people continue to ignore the threat. I would also add a third and fourth enormous threat. The economic storm brought on by debt and greed, and the perversion storm rapidly developing out of moral relativism. Wake up America! There is a perfect storm brewing and its not going to be a tempest in a tea cup.

The New Media Journal | Ignoring ‘The Perfect Storm’ at Our Own Peril by Frank Salvato

The mainstream media and the presumptive nominee from the Democrat Party have done a pretty good job of steering the electorate’s attention to issues of a domestic nature. It wasn’t hard to do. With gasoline prices hovering around four dollars a gallon, combined with the self-induced but limited financial crisis created by proprietary lenders and a healthcare system that’s being raped by grifting lawyers and robber-baron insurance companies, it is easy to understand why voters would fall prey to diversionary tactics of the political power seekers. But we do so at the expense of the well being of our nation. We do so ignoring “the perfect storm.”

politicians consistently put politics, power and financial special interests before the issues most important to the American people: A small, elite group of Progressives, beholden to the environmental lobby, uses their governmental powers to usurp the will of the people by refusing to allow drilling in places we know there are oil deposits; politicians on both sides of the aisle pander to an illegitimate voting demographic in the illegal alien population for fear that if they stand up for America’s sovereignty they may be voted out of office by those who shouldn’t be voting in the first place; politicians of both major political parties refuse to banish the earmark and reserve the right to raid the government treasury to provide bribes to their constituencies in an effort to garner re-election; the tax code continues to overburden the middle class and penalize the family while expanding entitlement increases the number of those feeding from the public trough and the mega-rich evolve into an elitist class; etc, etc, etc…

Our nation faces two enormous threats, one externally and one from within, and we do so without a proper understanding of why we should be fighting them both with every fiber of our collective being.

why would any elected official, true to good government, deny the enormity of the threat posed to the United States and the West by radical Islamist elements?

The second serious threat is less immediate and less violent, but caustic and lethal to the American philosophy and the continued existence of our country just the same. This threat comes from the American Fifth Column; the threat from within.

Emanating from the failed ideologies of Marxist-Leninst socialism and communism, the American Fifth Column dedicates itself to the transformation of the United States from a representative republic to a system of democratic socialism. This movement is personified by the progressive-left that has effectively hijacked the Democrat party.

Through unconstitutional entitlement programs and the legislation of inequitable tax burden on those who have successfully employed the capitalist system to their benefit, those leading the American Fifth Column strive to artificially create economic equality through the redistribution of wealth. Ironically, those who lead the American Fifth Column have established an elitist class for themselves, as most of them are millionaires (like Nancy Pelosi) and even billionaires (like Peter Lewis and George Soros). They do so to reduce the “influential footprint” of the United States on the world in a quest for a one-world order administered by the elite.

Interestingly, the progressive-leftists of the American Fifth Column are playing the roll – either unwittingly or recklessly – of the useful idiot to radical Islam’s quest for a global Caliphate.

So, the people of the United States face these two incredibly potent threats – each which could affect the end of the great American experiment – yet we are apathetic to the threat. Why? Because we face these challenges constitutionally illiterate.

Our educational system has been hijacked by progressive-left ideologues.

It is time that parents from all over the country – all over the world – embrace the idea that we have to take charge of educating our children.

You really might want to read this piece of reality if you are planning to buy or sell property in California. I think these ten reasons not only apply to California they apply to the big cities in Nevada, Florida and Arizona and some other Bubble areas as well.

This is not for the faint of heart. It implies much more than just a housing downturn. The losses on real estate and all connected with real estate including the taxpayer (government bail outs) are going to be much worse then most anyone is saying.

You will have to click on the link below to find the 10 detailed and well thought out reasons why real estate has years to go before any recovery is possible and why things are going to get worse before they get better in these bubble areas.

10 Reasons Why California is Years Away from a Housing Bottom: Rebuttal to Those Calling for a Bottom for California Housing. » Dr. Housing Bubble Blog

Housing in California is years away from a bottom. Let me make that clear and if you have any doubts, after reading this essay you will have a better understanding as to how I arrived at that conclusion. This article is longer since it will try to answer many of the arguments from those calling for a real estate bottom here in California. After looking at multiple sources of information like income, demographics, sales, psychology, and the economy there is no logical evidence for a housing bottom in California. It is well worth the read and certainly provides more information than a 1 minute sound bite. Recently I have noticed a resurgence of bottom talk coming from professionals in the field but also through e-mail questions.

My assessment is this renewed energy has come from two primary culprits. The first is of course the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 that provides $300 billion in loan refinances and also bails out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, there are many provisions in the bill to juice the market all of which will have very little impact on California. Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announce earnings this week and the news isn’t going to be good. Freddie Mac lost $821 million in the second quarter and announced that they will be slashing their dividend from 25 cents to 5 cents to conserve capital. This wouldn’t be such a big deal except the U.S. taxpayer is now on the hook and a loss for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac leads us one step closer to a bailout.

The second reason for the upsurge in bottom talk at least for California is the massive price drop we’ve seen this past year. A drop in the median sales price statewide by 38.38% is bound to get the attention of anyone. Yet simply because prices have fallen steeply in one year does not signal that now is a good time to buy. In fact, I will give you 10 solid reasons in this article why we are years away from any bottom in California.

If you are serious about correcting negative cash flow situations, you really have to create a budget that takes into account how much money is coming in and going out. In the case of our country, it has gone into debt counseling, was told to cut up the credit cards but is refusing to do so and is actually applying for more credit cards!

What you will not hear from bottom talkers is any mention of incomes from the vast majority of people. Sure they will use random examples of those in Bel Air, Brentwood, Laguna Beach, or Newport Coast but that is a tiny fraction of the population. They cannot use income as a measure of support because it will demolish their bottom theory. Let us now move on to the 10 reasons why California is years away from a housing bottom

Seems that there is more to the story with T. Boone Pickens than just windmills to save America. Seems that T-Bone Pickens and friends now have picking the meat off the bone down to an art form. Now we hear that he has the largest water rights in the U.S. and state eminent domain laws in Texas were changed for him so he could set up a water district and use eminent domain powers. his Windmill right of ways can also piggyback on his water district eminent domain power.

Anyone who thinks that money for T-Bone is not the motivation in his national campaign for windmills is not getting the full story. If land owners oppose his water and wind distribution systems going across their lands he plans to use these new eminent domain laws to make them comply and to make himself more billions.

FOXNews.com - Pickens Gives New Meaning to ‘Self-Government’ - Opinion

The more you learn about T. Boone Pickens’ plan to switch America to wind power, the more you realize that he seems willing to say and do just about anything to make another billion or two.

Simply put, Pickens’ pitch is “embrace wind power to help break our ‘addiction’ to foreign oil.” There is, however, another intriguing component to Pickens’ plan that goes unmentioned in his TV commercials, media interviews and web site — water rights, which he owns more of than any other American.

But wait, you say, Pickens is not a government entity. How can he use eminent domain? Are you sitting down?

At Pickens’ behest, the Texas legislature changed state law to allow the two residents of an 8-acre parcel of land in Roberts County to vote to create a municipal water district, a government agency with eminent domain powers. Who were the voters? They were Pickens’ wife and the manager of Pickens’ nearby ranch. And who sits on the board of directors of this water district? They are the parcel’s three other non-resident landowners, all Pickens’ employees.

Earlier this year, Texas changed its law to allow renewable energy projects (like Pickens’ wind farm) to obtain rights-of-way by piggybacking on a water district’s eminent domain power. So Pickens can now use his water district’s authority to also condemn land for his future wind farm’s transmission lines.

Who will pay for the rights-of-way and the transmission lines and pipelines? Thanks to another gift from Texas politicians, Pickens’ water district can sell tax-free, taxpayer-guaranteed municipal bonds to finance the $2.2 billion cost of the water pipeline. And then earlier this month, the Texas legislature voted to spend $4.93 billion for wind farm transmission lines. While Pickens has denied that this money is earmarked for him, he nevertheless is building the largest wind farm in the world.

Pickens has gamed Texas for his own ends, and now he’s trying to game the rest of us, too. Worse, his gamesmanship includes lending his billionaire resources, prominent stature and feudal powers bestowed upon him by the Texas legislature to help the Greens gain control over the U.S. energy supply.

Greed, speculation, nations spending more than they have and stupidity have put the whole world in danger of an economic Armageddon. Some of what is going on and is about to happen can be found in the link below. The world bankers are now putting their fingers in dikes to plug the leaks but they may soon run out of fingers.

The global economy is at the point of maximum danger - Telegraph

It feels like the summer of 1931. The world’s two biggest financial institutions have had a heart attack. The global currency system is breaking down. The policy doctrines that got us into this mess are bankrupt. No world leader seems able to discern the problem, let alone forge a solution.

The coalitions in Belgium and Austria have just collapsed. Germany’s left-right team is fraying. One German banker told me that the doctrines of “left Nazism” (Otto Strasser’s group, purged by Hitler) had captured the rising Die Linke party. The Social Democrats are picking up its themes to protect their flank.

This is the healthy part of Europe. Further south, we are not far away from civic protest. BNP Paribas has just issued a hurricane alert for Spain.

Finance minister Pedro Solbes said Spain is facing the “most complex” economic crisis in its history. Actually, it is very simple. The country was lulled into a trap by giveaway interest rates of 2pc under EMU, leading to a current account deficit of 10pc of GDP.

China, India, East Europe and emerging Asia have all stolen growth from the future by condoning credit excess. To varying degrees, they are now being forced to pay back their own “inter-temporal overdrafts”.

If we are lucky, America will start to stabilise before Asia goes down. Should our leaders mismanage affairs, almost every part of the global system will go down together. Then we are in trouble.

This article tells how Al Gore used his political power to channel money to spread his global warming apocalyptic lies in order to transform society to his socialist vision of world governance through “enlightened” people like himself. Gore is one of the top con artists of our time who uses peoples fears and peoples greed for money and power. Al Gore especially likes to scare children and the gullible to create a sense of panic. His real agenda is leftist fascist eco-extremism. You probably have about one year to prick this gas bag or laws will already be set in place to eventually tax, control and regulate everyone and every product on earth.

“Cynical politics” may be a redundancy, but it is hard to imagine a more cynical political issue than global warming (GW). In his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, Al Gore called for a “wrenching transformation of society.” Leftists, with their elitist penchant for social engineering, didn’t need any convincing. The challenge for Gore was the inconvenient truth that, in a democracy, a would-be central planner needs to get the masses on his side, too. To do that, he borrowed a strategy encapsulated in H.L. Mencken’s statement, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” Apocalyptic GW became Al Gore’s hobgoblin of choice.

Gore needed the scientific community to back up his assertions and the media to spread the word. Enlisting the help of the media was easy (apocalyptic fantasies are sure ratings winners), but getting enough scientists on board was trickier. When Gore started his GW campaign in the early 1990s, a contemporary Gallup poll of scientists showed that only 18 percent thought there was any evidence to support Gore’s theory. Even a survey conducted by Greenpeace found only 13 percent of climatologists willing to declare GW “probable.”

Nevertheless, Gore repeatedly claimed that (literally) 98 percent of scientists agreed with him, and he exhorted reporters to ignore skeptics. Right from the outset, the GW cult (like other illiberal movements, such as communism and fascism) had to resort to the “big lie” technique to make it appear that the science of GW was settled.

Kyoto’s agenda wasn’t to save the world, but to shackle economic activity in this country through curbing energy consumption. It’s easy to understand why foreign economic competitors would want this, but why would Gore and American liberals want to do this to the American people? The answer is simple: the lust for power and importance. Remember: control energy and you control people.

Crooked greedy Dentists are a much worse problem then suggested in this article. Those that are bilking Medicaid are also bilking cash paying and insurance paying customers. When you go in for a cleaning they tell you need fillings. Often you do not. When you go in for a filling they tell you need a root canal and a crown. Often you do not. Who checks the honesty of their diagnoses? Until we get proper dental oversight I suggest that everyone get a second opinion before you let anyone do work on your teeth. You would not believe how many slime balls are in your mouth.

Dentists who prey on children

I don’t know about you, but just mentioning the word dentist makes my stomach churn. The sound of a dentist’s drill sends shivers down my spine. One of the most frightening lines in the English language is: “You need a root canal.”

As if we needed another reason to hate dentists, did you know that some dentists intentionally perform unnecessary dental work just to be able to bilk the government?

It gets worse. These same dentists have removed good teeth of poor children just to increase billings to Medicaid. I wish I could tell you this was the plot of a horror film, but this grotesque form of fraud is happening in real life.

If America goes any further Left all those things Dennis Prager listed as future realities will be eagerly celebrated by the demented, delusional and dumb subjects of the fascist state that they created. If America did not want big government, and big brother socialism she would not be voting these people into power.

What it comes down to is that the people have been brainwashed in schools, media and through their own parent’s  lifestyle to deny God and to rely on socialism administrated by big government. The people of this nation now want and expect government to take care of them from birth to death. What they have not been taught and what has not been demonstrated to them is that they will eventually have to pay the bills for the spending spree.

Now they have no problem just creating new government social programs because they think someone else is picking up the tab. Well, no they ain’t and they haven’t been for a long time. The bill is all on their credit card and soon they will not even be able to pay the interest payment on the debt that is racked up. The impending one hundred trillion dollar price tag for the American social state that they wanted will bring them to poverty in this generation.

The day the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced, I said to my then-teenage son, “David, please forgive me. I am handing over to you a worse America than my father handed over to me.”

Unfortunately, I still feel this way.

One might argue that these are the same laments that every previous older generation has expressed — “Ah, when I was young…” But in America, that has not been the case. In America, the older generations tended to say the opposite — “When I was a kid, things were worse.”

Can we return to the America of my youth? No. Can we return to the best values of that time? Yes. But not if both houses of Congress, the presidency and the Supreme Court move the country even further leftward. If that happens, many of the above noted changes will simply be accelerated: More laws restricting “offensive” speech will be enacted; litigation will increase and trial lawyers will gain more power; the American military will be less valued; trees will gradually replace the flag as our most venerated symbol; schools will teach even less as they concentrate even more on diversity, sexuality and the environment; teenage sex will be increasingly accepted; American identity will continue to be replaced by ethnic, racial, gender or “world citizen” identity; and the power of the state will expand further as the power of the individual inevitably contracts. It’s hard to believe most Americans really want that.

I have been hearing that there is no reason to pump more oil for some time now. If plenty of oil is being pumped but everyone is cutting back because of the price where is the oil? You can only store so much oil and then you would have to stop pumping but no one is doing that so obviously greed is the reason that OPEC does not want to increase production. They are lying through their teeth.

I would be past asking OPEC and Saudi Arabia to pump more oil. Its time the world told them they will pump more oil until the price gets down to around $50 a barrel or OPEC is going to be internationally outlawed as the criminal cartel it is.

OPEC is bring the world to an economic crises point and if the big powers don’t do something rather quickly it is going to be too late.

I have a suggestion. Everyone should open up their national oil reserves right now and at the same time the U.S. should take care of the Iranian nuclear and military threat. After this threat is out of the way there will be no future oil speculation because of the Iranian threat. Then we should go all out to help Iraq gear up their oil producing capability and also tell Saudi Arabia that they will fill the gap or they risk dire consequences.

OPEC sees no need to pump more after price surge | Reuters

DUBAI (Reuters) - OPEC members saw no need on Sunday to pump more oil in response to last week’s double-digit surge in oil prices to over $139 a barrel that top exporter Saudi Arabia described as unjustified.

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia is the only OPEC member with capacity to boost output quickly and significantly.

But Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi and his Pakistani counterpart met on Sunday and agreed that the price rise was unjustified and unrelated to market fundamentals, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

“The increase of the oil prices is becoming a real threat to the worldwide economy,” Germany’s Economy Minister Michael Glos told Reuters.

$150 OIL?

OPEC blames factors beyond its control, including speculation and international political tension, for the price rises. Those factors could take prices even higher soon, said Iran’s OPEC representative Muhammad Ali Khatibi.

“I forecast that by the end of summer the price of oil will reach $150 a barrel,” Mohammad Ali Khatibi was quoted as saying by Iran’s state broadcaster.

If Mexico does not win this battle on drug trafficking we will end up with a hostile nation on our south border. Then we will be forced to send our military to defend our south border. The first thing we need to do is to start posting that anyone crossing into the U.S. illegally from Mexico is subject to deadly force and give our border patrol the weapons, technology and the backing to carry out that policy.

I don’t care what some are saying about the danger this would bring to the innocent illegals that are only coming across to make a living. They are only coming across now because they know they can. Besides, they are already in great danger by those who smuggle them like cattle along with their drugs - hundreds die each year. Common people in Mexico will soon get the message that you do not cross into the U.S illegally if we truly enforce our borders.

How do Liberal “compassionate” supporters of illegal entry rationalize that this policy is causing thousands of deaths and lawlessness in Mexico? Not to mention that drug running across our south border helps to kill many thousands of Americans and ruin the lives of millions through drug addiction. Is that compassion? Sometimes you need tough laws to protect people from the greedy predators of the world.

They say if we tighten up enforcement of our borders some poor workers might get killed but they totally ignore the fact that many thousands are being killed and that whole nations are being subverted by drug cartels.

Sometimes you have to fight to protect a civil society. Do sane people want drug cartels running Mexico? I assure you it will not have a good outcome. Now is the time to put pressure on our own government to join forces with President Calderon to ruthlessly crush the drug cartels. We also need to crush drug gangs in our own nation that have virtually taken over our inner cities. Now please don’t talk to me about the gang’s civil rights when the civil rights of millions of city dwellers have already been taken away by the gangs.

New Mexican ‘revolución’ crosses border, infects U.S.

In the 18 months since President Felipe Calderon took office vowing to defeat the cartels, the Mexican army, increasingly equipped with modern American-made arms, vehicles and communication, has been deployed across the country in a running battle against the cartels. The death toll is rising. The cartels have executed more than 4,000 people: judges, police chiefs and officers, mayors, military commanders and rival gang members, in a continuing battle over control of territory, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Durango. Portions of the Mexican army have been compromised, and many Mexican soldiers are now cartel enforcers.

The danger now is that revenue from smuggling is so great that cartels can not only bribe officials to get their way, but they can permanently buy off (or kill off) key army, government, political and media figures, rendering Mexico a state dominated by the cartels. Things can get much worse in Mexico than they are today. And that means, things can get much worse for America, too. President Calderon deserves U.S. support as he fights the smuggling cartels for control of Mexico

What our government allows some countries to get away with in the name of free trade is demented, it is criminal.
Do we have traders or traitors running our foreign trade policy?

Time to get tough with China on trade

The Bush administration has abysmally mismanaged U.S. trade policy. We hope that the next administration learns from its mistakes. President Bush’s solution to the worsening U.S. trade deficit with China was (drum roll please) talk. That’s right. His strategy was talk, talk, talk; journalists call it “jawboning.” In December 2006, President Bush sent our government’s top five financial leaders to China to convince the Chinese to mend their ways and allow the yuan to
appreciate against the dollar. But, in 2007 our trade deficit with China worsened yet again to $252 billion from $229 billion the previous year. Talking loudly while carrying no stick doesn’t work.

Every so often I read the daily news and I just get feed up with the inept leaders that are running this world. They do not seem to have a collective grain of wisdom between them.

Today we read that wholesale prices are up 1.1 percent in one month! Oil is at $113 a barrel and rising and food prices have gone up so much that people in poor countries are in danger of starvation.

Now who were the idiots that suggested we make grains into alcohol to run cars? I recall that Bush signed a piece of nutty legislation that will make 20 percent of our liquid fuel alcohol. The EU and other countries are also converting grains to alcohol. Meanwhile, people in poor countries are going hungry and are in danger of starving. Great thinking guys! With leadership and thinking like that you must of slept through your education classes and especially through your leadership training. These nutty polices must be reversed now!

I know the hype coming from Al Gore, had something to do with these government polices and that is why I say Al Gore is the most dangerous man in the world. Those that follow his leading will in the end bring starvation to millions.

Since you world leaders are clueless let me tell you the solutions?

1. Stop converting grains to make alcohol to run in cars. It was never needed. It is inefficient and the world does not have food to burn! Will this increase demand on oil? Not much. Any oil shortfalls can be taken care of quite easily as I will outline below.

2. Stop paying over $100 a barrel for oil to these vultures. I would not pay more than $50. How do we do that? First we DISBAND OPEC by world or U.S. decree. It is an illegal monopoly. If anyone whats to argue about it, that is why our taxes pay for all our aircraft carrier task forces. They were built to protect us from foreign enemies. If anyone thinks paying these extortion rates for oil (from wells that we developed in the Middle East) are not a huge danger to our country they are not living in reality. By the way, “our friend” Saudi Arabia alone could pump enough additional oil to bring the world oil prices down significantly.

3. Cut through the environmental red tape and allow for oil drilling off our coasts and in Alaska. There is significant oil there. All oil companies during this national emergency should be required to reinvest most profits into new energy production until balanced energy levels are achieved.

4. Vastly expand coal production and scrap all the restrictions put on new coal plants because of the global waring nonsense. We could make liquid fuel out of coal slurry for our cars and also use coal generating plants for spare electric generation at night for charging electric cars.

5. Build some damn refineries. Not one has been built in 30 years in this country mostly due to asinine environmental regulations. Meanwhile stop the insane laws that required scores of different types of fuel and fuel additives that adds to the costs and creates spot fuel shortages. Let the refineries we have produce 5 or 6 different major fuels and not be required to make 50.

6. Stop this crazy oil speculation in the markets. They are adding a third to the price of oil and they add nothing to our economy other than gambling. It can be stopped.

7. Government Incentives for mass production of reasonable priced electric cars for city commuting.

8. A major national project to develop solar energy production. They are doing it in Israel, we can certainly do it here. Solar energy at less then 10C a KW hour is easily achievable in the Southwestern deserts with today’s technology. The above ground land area in the Nevada Nuclear Test Site alone could produce much of the electricity needs for this country at reasonable rates.

Contact your representatives in Washington and demand action.

Your 100 percent correct. I wrote that insurance was the main problem with medical costs two years ago in this article. Medical costs could be reduced at least a third if you got rid of the insurance Mafia.

The Health Insurance Mafia - WSJ.com

Physicians and other providers need to liberate themselves from the Faustian bargain they’ve cut with the Mephistophelian suits who now run their professional lives. Because many doctors are loath to talk about money, they allowed themselves to perpetuate the fantasy that “insurance is paying.” It isn’t. There is no free lunch and no free physical exam.

If substantial numbers of health-care providers shook off the insurance monkey on their back, en masse, and the supply of providers was substantially increased by opening more medical schools, the result would be a more honest, cost-effective system benefiting everyone. Except the insurance companies.

They have no scientific facts to support the Left driven Co2 warming hysteria. They will not accept scientific facts when it is presented to them. So perhaps the next step is to exposed the real reasons for this fraud on the world. When the truth is exposed these blackbirds will be put in cages. Then all the pigeons following them will fly away looking for new refuse piles to scavenge.

American Thinker: The slick trick behind global frauding

In Stalin’s Russia any dissenter from the Party Line was guilty. Innocence had to be proved. It’s a standard tyrant’s trick. During the reign of Oliver Cromwell in England, witchhunters did not have to prove that their victims were guilty. The accused witches had to prove their innocence.

That’s what Al Gore has done to science: He and his friends have flipped innocence and guilt from normal science to Stalinist science.

In Al Gore’s America, any “global warming denier” is guilty until proven innocent. He or she must have been bought off by Big Oil. Skeptics, no matter how well-qualified, must prove the negative about really silly alarmist hogwash. And whenever some prediction is falsified, the warm mongers have an explanation: it’s just a temporary glitch in the data. Oh, yes, we were wrong about 1998, but just wait till 2050! The excuses are endless.

There are no facts robust enough, consistent enough, and verified enough to support the mass hysteria. The climate system is hypercomplex, nonlinear and poorly understood. The media spinners are immensely ignorant about real science, and just care about the next scare headline. There’s a lot of wild speculation and a mob of self-serving politicians, bureaucrats and media types who stand to gain a ton of power and money by suckering millions of taxpayers. Al Gore just started a 300 million dollar PR campaign to convince everybody. When was the last time you saw 300 million bucks being spent to promote a scientific hypothesis that was already proven? We’re not spending millions to prove the existence of gravity. The uproar and money involved in this fraud is in direct proportion to the lack of solid facts.

The last ten years have seen global cooling, not warming.

From the article you get the picture that these people were shown that there was no global warming since 1998. Yet it did not even phase them because this whole scam is not about global warming anyway.

The other day I got a computer magazine all talking about global warming and what we all need to do about it. So why would a computer magazine jump on the global warming bandwagon? I can’t really see it selling more issues, it might even make a few people like me angry enough to cancel their subscription. The only answer is that the editors of the magazine like so many others have been been successfully brainwashed.

No matter how much science is published discrediting man caused global warming we cannot reach the masses with the truth. That is because certain high level people in government, education and media are actively continuing the brainwashing. They simply have too much money and power to lose to ever admit that there is no true scientific facts backing their claims. It is just like trying to preach salvation in Jesus to those blinded by the world. They simply choose not to see and be saved.

The only way this socialist tax transfer scheme is going to be stopped is if God puts us into a ice age. People now only believe what they are told by their media masters and gurus. They have been so dumbed down in their schools that they cannot think for themselves. They just sit in front of the liberal media propaganda program for their daily feeding.

Think I am wrong? How else would you explain the current socialist nominations for president? The formation of the godless EUSR? The rise of the new fascist Russia? The rise of godless communist China? How do explain the voters in our own country thinking a Marxist with a social gospel contrary to the Bible will solve our foreign and domestic problems? How do you explain how any of this will solve the certain Western economic collapse caused by everyone spending beyond their means for decades? The world has obviously entered into a time of global brainwashing on many fronts.The whole world is being set up for a fascist socialist hybrid.

I have to tell you, the way this country is going it simply has no future. It will not exist as the United States by next decade. We do not have to wait for the fall of the United States, it is is already happening so fast that in a few years most of the country will be dwelling in a depressed socialist police state that might as well then be named the USS of A.

I simply do not see the majority of American people doing anything to stop this slide into Marxism and its brainwashing. Prove me wrong! Please!

FOXNews.com - Junk Science: The Global Warming Bubble - Opinion

Sacrificing many trillions of dollars of GDP for a trivial, 45-year-delayed and merely hypothetical reduction in average global temperature must be considered as exponentially more asinine than the dot-bombs of the late-1990s and the NINJA subprime loans that we now look upon scornfully.So who in their right mind would push for this?

I met many of them up-close-and-personal last week at a major Wall Street Journal conference at which I was an invited speaker. My fellow speakers included many CEOs (from General Electric, Wal-Mart, Duke Energy and Dow Chemical, to name just a few), California’s Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the heads of several environmental activist groups.

The audience — a sold-out crowd of hundreds who had to apply to be admitted and pay a $3,500 fee — consisted of representatives of the myriad businesses that seek to make a financial killing from climate alarmism.

There were representatives of the solar, wind and biofuel industries that profit from taxpayer mandates and subsidies, representatives from financial services companies that want to trade permits to emit CO2, and public relations and strategic consultants to all of the above.

We libertarians would call such an event a rent-seekers ball — the vast majority of the audience was there to plot how they could lock in profits from government mandates on taxpayers and consumers. It was an amazing collection of pseudo-entrepreneurs who were absolutely impervious to the scientific and economic facts that ought to deflate the global warming bubble.

This author makes the case for the Fed’s bailouts but he also makes it clear just how close we are to another great depression.

What is not talked about is the greed that got us into this mess. The Fed can try to bail out this sinking ship but even if it does temporarily keep it afloat it cannot stop the ship’s rotten timbers from leaking like a sieve. The ship will take on more water when the next tempest hits.

There are over $400 trillion in derivatives out there backed by almost nothing. If the banks and brokerages have to come up with real money to cover losses on this gambling debt there is not enough money in the world to stop the economic collapse.

For decades the banks and brokerages have been living like fat cats off of a derivative pyramid scheme making bets of 100 to 1 that property would continue to increase in value. They paid out high dividends on their gambling winnings and left nothing in the bank to cover future losses. Now this author suggests that as property values drop and these gamblers cannot cover their own losses that the Fed should cover their losses until property values start going up again. Maybe that is the only solution to keep out out of a great depression but of course if they know that taxpayers will bail them out when they are on a losing streak they will even be more reckless with their gambling in the future.

The Fed may have to do so much bailing out by creating more and more dollars that it will make hyper-inflation certain. That inflation could have the same financial impact on individual Americans as would any depression.

The truth is that almost everyone in the Western world has been living for decades beyond their means and now the bills are coming due. The economic system is going to crash and only after most assets and debts are wiped out can a new system be set up. Let them try to keep the world financial ship afloat as long as they can with their bucket brigade bail outs but the storm always eventually comes and this rotten ship will go to the bottom.

Sooner Fed bail-outs than the 1930s revisited - Telegraph

The crisis has since spread to prime mortgages. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - the fortress agencies that guarantee 60 per cent of America’s $11 trillion mortgage market - began to crumble last week. Even bodies standing at the top of the credit system are no longer deemed safe. As Barclays Capital put it, this was a “tsunami event”.Or in the words of City veteran David Buik at Cantor Fitzgerald: “No one in living memory has ever seen a banking crisis like this. I am older than God, and the outlook has never looked as bleak.”

Any smug assumption that this will remain a local American affair may soon be confounded. The IMF has abruptly changed its tune. “Obviously the financial market crisis is now more serious and more global than a week ago,” it said on Monday.

Property booms will soon be deflating across the Anglo-Saxon world and the eurozone’s Club Med belt. Japan is already on the brink of recession. Debt levels are higher now in most rich countries than they were in 1929. The levels of financial leverage are greater.

As the Bank for International Settlements wrote last year, we are more vulnerable to a 1930s dénouement than people realise - should the authorities botch the response.

Like some other free-market bears, I now find myself in an odd position. For years we castigated the central banks for inflating a reckless credit bubble by holding interest rates too low. Now we have flipped. We are on the other side, defending monetary stimulus, even defending the state takeover of Bear Stearns debt.

Yeah they know the carbon nonsense is fraud but they have too much to gain. Now that science can clearly prove their CO2-forcing hype is fraud. Someone with the means to take these people on needs to stand up and sue them before they con the whole world.

Coleman disagrees whole-heartedly with the touted effects of global warming on the environment. He contends that the “media has jumped onto the frenzy; every environmentalist on the planet is yelling it; people seem to have adopted it like a religion. But [global warming is] not happening, and it’s very clear it’s not happening.”During his speech, Coleman also questioned the validity of a so-called “carbon credit” system, in which consumers would offset CO2 emissions by paying a set fee that would allegedly be reinvested into environmentally safe technology.

Again, Coleman has his doubts. He does not believe human-caused global warming, resulting from CO2 emissions, exists. The carbon credits, which are being sold for millions of dollars, “are based on CO2-forcing (as they call it) causing global warming; well, that’s not valid. And they’ve got to know it. And if they know it, and they’re selling those carbon credits, aren’t they committing financial fraud?“

The government is doing everything in its power to insure that we have an energy crises for decades to come. Lawyers run the government, are they really that incredibly stupid or do they really see advantage for themselves in constant future litigation over every sort of energy proposal? That also includes CO2 litigation.

Get most lawyers out of Washington and we would be well on our way to solving our problems.

‘Why Is Everyone Lying About Energy?’ - Alan Caruba - Mar 17, 08

In terms of our enormous energy needs, Congress and the White House are seriously mismanaging America.Energy is the “master resource.” Without it everything else slows, stalls, and stops. The nation’s economy is entirely dependent on our ability to function in a world where oil, natural gas, and coal are global commodities. They don’t have a nationality. They have a price. And that is set by supply and demand, not the federal government.

The government is literally wasting billions on “alternative forms” of energy and “climate change.” It should be encouraging the building of more refineries, more nuclear fission, coal or gas-fired plants to generate electricity, more pipelines. It should be eliminating the restrictions on access oil, gas, and coal within and these sources from beyond our nation’s borders.

The President, the candidates competing to be the next President, and members of Congress are all lying to Americans about the realities of energy. The situation is likely to get much worse before it ever becomes better.

There is so much money in drugs going to the U.S. that even government not already corrupted by the money cannot cope with the gangsters. Over tens thousands people die in drug wars and by drug overdoses in Mexico and the United States each year.

More U.S. citizens die because of drug users then die in Iraq but where are the liberals on this issue? Drugs have led to government corruption and is leading to a police state yet demented users think that doing drugs is harmless. If there were no users these things would not be happening. Therefore, if you use illegal drugs you are also guilty of murder.

Many of the same people who make the most noise about U.S. foreign wars are the same ones that bring murder and tyranny through their immoral drug use. What percentage of the rich and famous that are always whining about Iraq and George Bush use drugs and bring this death to the land? They ought to learn the meaning of the word hypocrite!

All who use illegal drugs are honorary members of the Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club.

Drug tyranny on the border - Washington Post- msnbc.com

More than 20,000 Mexican troops and federal police are engaged in a multi-front war with the private armies of rival drug lords, a conflict that is being waged most fiercely along the 2,000-mile length of the U.S.-Mexico border. The proximity of the violence has drawn in the Bush administration, which has proposed a $500 million annual aid package to help President Felipe Calderón combat what a Government Accountability Office report estimates is Mexico’s $23 billion a year drug trade.

The huge corporate American farmers are making a killing (literally) from the huge run up in the price of grain products due to corn based Ethanol production. This Ethanol hoax on the American people is running up the cost of most food products we buy and the farm products are even still being subsidized by your own tax dollars.

Corn Ethanol certainly is not going to lower your gas prices or solve any energy crises. Your politicians have no guts to bring about any real solution to the energy problem so they try to appease gullible American people with junk science nonsense of an Ethanol solution while they fill their own pockets with contributions from special interest groups. Never mind that their ethanol polices will bring hunger and starvation to people in third world countries that depend on low cost grains for their very survival. Food stocks are now so low worldwide that any major crop failure could bring about famine. Should the American people allow these insane polices to continue?

Frankly, all who are helping to foster this Ethanol hoax richly deserve my Demented Delusional of Dumb Club of the week award for creating a world crises through stupidity or greed.

The ethanol hoax

Ethanol production has driven up the prices of corn-fed livestock, such as beef, chicken and dairy products, and products made from corn, such as cereals. As a result of higher demand for corn, other grain prices, such as soybean and wheat, have risen dramatically. The fact that the U.S. is the world’s largest grain producer and exporter means that the ethanol-induced higher grain prices will have a worldwide impact on food prices.

It’s easy to understand how the public, looking for cheaper gasoline, can be taken in by the call for increased ethanol usage. But politicians, corn farmers and ethanol producers know they are running a cruel hoax on the American consumer. They are in it for the money. The top leader in the ethanol hoax is Archer Daniels Midland, the country’s largest producer of ethanol. Ethanol producers and the farm lobby have pressured farm-state congressmen into believing that it would be political suicide if they didn’t support subsidized ethanol production. That’s the stick. Campaign contributions play the role of the carrot.

The real horror story in world economic system is derivatives. It is a monetary gambling scheme using IOU’s backed by almost nothing. Those who buy derivatives are gambling and they use this phony paper wealth to create investment bubbles all over the worlds. Right now they are driving up commodities. When the derivative bubble bursts no government has anywhere near the resources to keep it from spiraling into financial Armageddon. it will bring the end of the world economic system. It is this bubble that keeps all the Federal bankers up nights. At some point this house of cards will crash the whole system.

Financial Armageddon: Not Plain Vanilla

In short, despite Buffett’s clear warnings, a massive new derivatives bubble is driving the domestic and global economies, a bubble that continues growing today parallel with the subprime-credit meltdown triggering a bear-recession.Data on the five-fold growth of derivatives to $516 trillion in five years comes from the most recent survey by the Bank of International Settlements, the world’s clearinghouse for central banks in Basel, Switzerland. The BIS is like the cashier’s window at a racetrack or casino, where you’d place a bet or cash in chips, except on a massive scale: BIS is where the U.S. settles trade imbalances with Saudi Arabia for all that oil we guzzle and gives China IOUs for the tainted drugs and lead-based toys we buy.

Miklós Zágon was a global warming activist and a physicist for NASA. He finds out the 80 year old greenhouse equations used in global warming modeling are totally wrong. So like a good physicist he corrects the equations and gives them to his employer. However, NASA would not release the data. So the scientist had to publish his theory in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in his home country of Hungary.

His data supports that there will be no runaway global warming based on CO2 increases.

This report is being downplayed because there is big money in the global warming business, not to even consider all the egg on the face of the know-it-all all big mouths who have claimed that the scientific discussion is over.

DailyTech - Researcher: Basic Greenhouse Equations “Totally Wrong”

Miskolczi’s story reads like a book. Looking at a series of differential equations for the greenhouse effect, he noticed the solution — originally done in 1922 by Arthur Milne, but still used by climate researchers today — ignored boundary conditions by assuming an “infinitely thick” atmosphere. Similar assumptions are common when solving differential equations; they simplify the calculations and often result in a result that still very closely matches reality. But not always.So Miskolczi re-derived the solution, this time using the proper boundary conditions for an atmosphere that is not infinite. His result included a new term, which acts as a negative feedback to counter the positive forcing. At low levels, the new term means a small difference … but as greenhouse gases rise, the negative feedback predominates, forcing values back down.

NASA refused to release the results. Miskolczi believes their motivation is simple. “Money”, he tells DailyTech. Research that contradicts the view of an impending crisis jeopardizes funding, not only for his own atmosphere-monitoring project, but all climate-change research. Currently, funding for climate research tops $5 billion per year.

Miskolczi resigned in protest, stating in his resignation letter, “Unfortunately my working relationship with my NASA supervisors eroded to a level that I am not able to tolerate. My idea of the freedom of science cannot coexist with the recent NASA practice of handling new climate change related scientific results.”

His theory was eventually published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in his home country of Hungary.

Those who believed this Moses deserve to be fleeced. You might ask how so many people in a small group of churches can be so stupid? The answer is they worship people who tell them what they want to hear. They have little biblical discernment but they do have greed.

‘Modern-day Moses’ faces jail for swindling churchgoers out of £3.2million | the Daily Mail

A “modern-day Moses” who fleeced churchgoers out of more than £3.2million faces jail today.Lindani Mangena, 24, preyed on more than 1,000 worshippers in Seventh Day Adventist congregations across London to feed his appetite for fine living.

Mangena posed as a City trader to convince them to invest in a bogus spread-betting formula.

Southwark Crown Court heard that, along with two accomplices, he promised profits of up to 3,000 per cent in six months.

I suggest it is high time for OPEC to be outlawed. It is an illegal organization under international law and is a threat to the security interests of the U.S. and much of the world. And I don’t think it should take years going through world courts to determine what we know is already the truth. There are various ways that we could deal with OPEC but it would take some leadership instead of just kissing the feet of these oil ministers who insist on fixing oil prices at obscene levels. Put someone like me in charge for one month and they would find themselves playing a very high stake poker game where I hold all the aces.

It is time the free market system played out and the nations of the world were not being extorted by a group of international pirates that love to call themselves oil ministers. It is time for these nations to get ready to play with a level trading deck because the American people are not going to allow these international pirates to rip us off much longer.

OPEC president says he favours cutting oil output - Yahoo! News

VIENNA (AFP) - OPEC president, Algerian Oil Minister Chakib Khelil, said here Tuesday that he would “prefer” the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries to cut oil production at its upcoming ministerial meeting.
ADVERTISEMENT”I would prefer in this situation to lower production because demand globally is going to be lower,” Khelil told a press briefing ahead of Wednesday’s meeting in Vienna.

Algeria joins Iran and Venezuela in calling for a cut in output ahead of the second quarter when demand for heating fuel was expected to drop owing to warmer temperatures in energy-hungry Europe and the United States.

All three are traditional hawks in OPEC, frequently favouring output cuts to support oil prices, which are trading at record highs above 100 dollars per barrel.

Amid soaring prices, analysts believe OPEC will agree to maintain output on Wednesday. This would not be enough, however, to appease energy consuming nations who want OPEC to increase production to help bring down prices.

The White House on Tuesday urged OPEC to keep world markets “well supplied.”
