North Korea continues to make fools out of the U.S. State Department.

I have more than once said that this would happen. North Korea has been getting freebies from America for 15 years to stop their nuclear development and has done nothing but make nukes. You cannot deal with madmen. If you read this article you will see even after the 11 disablement measures are actually taken (they have been halted) it would only take North Korea only about a year to start the facilities up again (what a great deal!). Not to even mention the secret uranium project that North Korea has that is still making nuclear material that no one is talking about or the nuclear bombs it already has made for export. So the North Koreans found ways to backed out of all the deals and have make fools out of both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration. North Korea now hopes to take on what they know will even be a more foolish Obama Administration.

The U.S. State Department continues to be run by liberals and is in denial all over the world. They are just as loony with Iran. There is an old saying. Fool me once and shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me, fool me three times and I should get the Olympic gold metal for foolishness. Does anyone in our government know that North Korea has EMP capabilities? Does anyone care? And Rice thinks Russia will take anything we say on George or elsewhere seriously?

Maybe the world should reward the North Koreans with the Olympics and just pretend that they are such a wonderful free nation like they did with Communist China. I notice the North Koreans waited to after the Olympics to do this. Does anyone really think that was not coordinated with China? Sure, and China’s 14 year old woman gymnasts were 16 years old. You know one of these days this whole foolish appeasement thing is going to unravel worldwide and we are going to be in a world of hurt.

North Korea says it halts nuclear reactor disablement | International | Jerusalem Post

The North’s announcement marks the emergence of the biggest hurdle yet to the communist nation’s denuclearization process under a landmark deal last year and is expected to escalate tension in the nuclear talks involving China, Japan, the two Koreas, the US and Russia.

Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said it suspended the disablement work at the reactor and other facilities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex as of August 14 because the US did not keep its promise to delist Pyongyang as a terror sponsor under last year’s deal.

The ministry also said the country will “consider soon a step to restore” the Yongbyon nuclear facilities, but did not elaborate.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul’s University of North Korean Studies, called Tuesday’s statement “very serious” and said that it could mean Pyongyang may have decided not to deal with the administration of US President George W. Bush.

South Korean and US officials have said eight of the 11 disablement measures have been finished and that when the entire disablement is completed, it would take at least a year for the North to restart the facilities.

The danger of a world economic collapse is real the world is now at a point of maximum danger

No Gravatar

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.

Al Gore needs to get his head out of his crystal ball

No Gravatar

Al Gore needs to come down to earth from the moon, get his head out of his crystal ball and learn some fundamental science.

This Nobel buffoon challenges the U.S. to get every kilowatt of electricity out of what he calls “Earth-friendly” sources in 10 years. It can’t be done and everyone knows it. It can’t even be done in fifty years. He is even contradicting the Alliance for Climate Protection that he chairs. They say it will cost the nation 1.5 to 3 trillion dollars over thirty years and that does not even count the two billion it will cost for clean coal. So who do you think will pay this five trillion dollars? You will pay for it by higher prices on everything and through carbon taxes.

We do not have to be at the mercy of oil producing regimes. Environmentalists and globalists like Al Gore made that possible. We can once again be the largest oil producing regime on the planet. We have the largest oil and coal reserves in the world and it will cost only $50 a barrel to get it out of the ground. The oil is in oil shale and oil companies now know how to get it out of the ground without harming the environment. The U.S. and Canada have have enough oil and gas in shale, oil sands and coal to be a major exporter to the world for a thousand years. Granted it would take about 30 years before we can become a major net exporter but each year we will be producing more and more of our own oil at the equivalent of $2 a gallon gas. Those are the facts. However we need to get started if we are ever going to be a net exporter rather than an importer. That means that we have to allow oil shale development on Federal lands where most of it is located and coal plants needs to be built that will start converting coal to oil. The know how exists. Pilot project are under development that will produce oil out of shale for under $50 a barrel, the same methods can be used for oil sands. South Africa is now producing oil out of coal for most of the oil needs of their nation at $30 a barrel.

What really needs to be done is for Congress and environmentalists like Al Gore to stop blocking progress. CO2 in any level that man produces is beneficial to the earth. It makes green plants grow and there is no evidence that it is linked to global warming. In fact, as CO2 level continue to increase the earth has not cooled in over a decade and it actually started major cooling in the last two years. Alaska as I speak is having the coldest summer in a long time. Your not going to see pictures of ice free passages in the Arctic this year unless they use last years footage (that is not at all above them). So without any evidence they say global warming is taking a ten year break and it will start again once they ramrod their crazy energy policies on much of the world. This really has nothing to do with global warming it is all about global control of everyone.

Increased volcanic activity will more likely have more effect on CO2 in the future then anything that man does. Since man only causes less then five percent of the CO2 in the atmosphere.

Another thing is Al Gore and other globalist like him are the ones who exported all our manufacturing to other nations. So they created the rapid uncontrolled development in China and India and now they say that these nations are causing the problem by using more oil. So they created the problem and now the same people who created the problem tell us the problem they created is the cause of the world oil shortage. Gee, maybe you people should of thought of that before you exported all of manufacturing jobs to nations that have few environmental controls. They governments are also subsidizing the cost of oil in these developing nations. If they let the free market set the price of oil many of the jobs would go elsewhere and China and India would not keep expanding at this insane rate.

Al Gore also does not understand economics 101. Oil prices can only go as high as people are willing to pay for it. They are not going to keep going up. If they did there would be a world depression and oil demand would decline. We heard the same nonsense under Jimmy Carter in the late 70’s but then oil prices declined under Ronald Regan due to free enterprise.

That is why anytime you hear of the likelihood of a recession in the U.S. oil prices suddenly decline. If we had a severe recession in this country all nations exports would suffer and these countries would be using less oil. It is possible that in a world recession oil prices could be back under $30 a barrel. There is also new oil coming on line in the next two years that could help push prices down. The main reason oil continues to go up is on the future speculation that demand will increase ten years down the line. However, if we start major drilling programs and other energy development that will take the future out of the oil futures market and oil will go down to what it is actually worth.

I suggest they we have a moon project and send Al Gore to the moon before the globe suffers irreparable harm from the global carbon scheme that he is pushing and his crystal ball predictions of doom.

My Way News - Gore sets ‘moon shot’ goal on climate change

WASHINGTON (AP) - Just as John F. Kennedy set his sights on the moon, Al Gore is challenging the nation to produce every kilowatt of electricity through wind, sun and other Earth-friendly energy sources within 10 years, an audacious goal he hopes the next president will embrace.

The Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan group that he chairs, estimates the cost of transforming the nation to so-called clean electricity sources at $1.5 trillion to $3 trillion over 30 years in public and private money. But he says it would cost about as much to build ozone-killing coal plants to satisfy current demand.

To meet his 10-year goal, Gore said nuclear energy output would continue at current levels while the nation dramatically increases its use of solar, wind, geothermal and so-called clean coal energy. Huge investments must also be made in technologies that reduce energy waste and link existing grids, he said.

If the nation fails to act, the cost of oil will continue to rise as fast-growing China and India increase demand, Gore said. Sustained addiction to oil also will place the nation at the mercy of oil-producing regimes, he said, and the globe would suffer irreparable harm.

Government experts recently predicted that, at the current rate, world energy demand will grow 50 percent over the next two decades. The Energy Information Administration also said in its long-range forecast to 2030 that the world is not close to abandoning fossil fuels despite their effect on global warming.

The only bigger fool then Brzezinski is any President that would listened to him. Will Obama be next?

No Gravatar
I certainly would not discount what is being said here. Obama will decimate the U.S. economy even if Zbigniew Brzezinski is not behind Obama. Of course, if America figures this out he will be the first American President removed from office if he is elected.

Obama The Dummy - Brzezinski The Ventriloquist

WASHINGTON, DC — In my book Obama ­ The Postmodern Coup: The Making of a Manchurian Candidate, I argue that presidential candidate Barack Obama is a wholly owned puppet of Zbigniew Brzezinski and his associates of the Trilateral Commission, founded by David Rockefeller. As some have noted, Brzezinski has been attempting to conceal his actual domination of the Obama campaign, for which he is the chief guru and controller. Now a rhetorical outburst by Obama on the campaign trail in Oregon has once again pointed to the reality that Obama is a ventriloquist’s dummy, with the Russia-hating fanatic Brzezinski, a barbarous relic of the Cold War, acting as the ventriloquist.
At a recent campaign stop in Oregon, Obama stated:
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said. “That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added. If India and China’s “carbon footprint gets as big as ours, we’re gone.” (AFP)
This remarkable statement reveals the true program of a future Obama administration: savage austerity, brutal economic sacrifice, and a massive further reduction in the standard of living of the depleted and exhausted US population ­ as demanded by David Rockefeller, George Soros, and Obama’s Wall Street backers. This will be done under left cover ­ through a global warming tax, a third world solidarity tax, and other demagogic frauds

Government traders or traitors?

No Gravatar

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.

Study on echinacea’s ability to prevent colds proves nothing worth publishing.

No Gravatar

They call this a news worthy study of echinacea and colds? 58 people over 8 weeks! Give me a break!

Lets see, I would think that over 8 weeks about 20 of the 58 people would normally be expected to get a cold. Then of the 29 who took the echinacea (ten of these might get a cold in this period ) had 5 fewer sick days than the other 29 that took a placebo? Seems to me that your study supports that those who took echinacea had five fewer sick days and thus probably had fewer colds.

If you are going to publish studies on echinacea publish a study that actually proves something. A study needs to be done on hundreds or thousands of people over a whole season in the way that people are directed to take echinacea. You are not supposed to take echinacea everyday for colds. You only take it when you are exposed to colds or when you are already coming down with a cold to lessen the duration. We already have studies that prove if you take echinacea every day it becomes less effective and might even be worse then taking nothing at all. However, if you take it as directed studies prove it will help prevent colds and lessen the duration of colds.

So what was the name of the drug manufacturer that sponsored the farce?

FOXNews.com - Study Finds No Evidence Echinacea Prevents Colds - Health News | Current Health News | Medical News

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco followed 58 volunteers for eight weeks and found no definitive evidence that echinacea prevented nasal congestion, sore throats and other cold symptoms.

While the echinacea group reported fewer sick days than the placebo group, nine versus 14, researchers chalked the difference up to chance.

Carbon tariff on the developing world? Are they all nuts!

No Gravatar

What total idiots. Tthey are planning to decree a tariff on the world’s poorest people and they think that China and India will have no means to retaliate? Put a 17 percent carbon tariff on China’s goods and they just might solve the world’s delusional climate problem by putting an EMP over the U.S. and Europe and reducing the world’s CO2 emissions by over 50 percent in just one year. The people claiming to save the world from non existent man caused global warming will end up losing it through their stupid delusional fascist policies.

Possible U.S. carbon tariff may affect growth: report

The West’s next weapon in the fight against global warming may be a carbon tariff on imports from the developing world, a strategy that could have a profound impact on the global economy, a new report argues.

China should go the way of North Korea not Tibet

No Gravatar

The Chinese leaders intend to make it clear to the world that they run Tibet. So why does the world intend to go to China to play games with these people in their world class filthy city? Why does the world continue to buy their slave labor built filthy products that are undermining Western society? If the Chinese must rule other countries with their communist cult leader controlled army, why do we aid them in doing this with our own wealth? Let them become a isolated nation run by loony cult leaders like North Korea.

Satanic global brainwashing on many fronts

No Gravatar

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.

Defeating OPEC

No Gravatar

Mr. Samuelson offers no real solutions in this article and we could pull the plug on OPEC anytime we got a backbone. The oil cartel is illegal for starters.

Further, the U.S. energy bill that was recently passed only makes things worse. Nothing in that bill is going to change our dependence on foreign oil. Suggesting higher gas taxes at a time when people can not even afford to drive to work is totally moronic.

there are several ways we could deal with this problem. One is to increase oil and coal production but we have handcuffed ourselves with our stupid environmental laws. We could also help Canada develop their oil reserve - which is the largest in the world - instead we say we cannot use their oil because it violates junk science CO2 restrictions.

China is the main reason for the present tight oil markets. We could stop buying the $400 billion dollars of products we buy from them each year. We have no reason to be buying from a communist tyrannical nation that is arming to the teeth against us. We should be buying from the America’s and making friends in our own region of the world. Ending trade with China would stop their expansion and oil would become plentiful.

We could build new oil refineries and coal slurry refineries and we could start a go-to-the-moon like project on solar energy. Deflating the balloon of the oil speculators will cut the price sharply.

We could tell Saudi Arabia that we saved their butt from Saddam and they will increase output until oil gets down to some defined price or we will go in and do it for them. They are now using much of the huge profits that they are taking in to fund every anti Western and anti American radical Islamic agenda. They and their OPEC buddies are also putting the West on the brink of economic collapse. Why should we put up with their extortion ring?

Those are only a few of the things we could do. What we should not do is allow this to continue to go on and to act like making cars to get a few more miles to the gallon is really going to solve any energy problems. We have a problem because our own stupid polices have made us become our own worst enemy.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - The Triumph of OPEC

We are paying for past shortsightedness. Dependence on oil imports, now almost 60 percent of U.S. supply, is inevitable. But we could limit OPEC’s market power by curbing our demand and increasing our supply. As the worldwide gap between supply and demand rises, it’s harder for producers to control the market. More have spare capacity; more are tempted to increase production to raise revenues. Today’s surplus is concentrated in a few countries, especially Saudi Arabia, which can adjust production to influence prices.Americans rant at foreign producers on the silly presumption that they should subordinate their interests to ours. But we refuse to do much that would actually limit their freedom of action. It was only last year that Congress raised fuel-efficiency standards for new cars and light trucks. We have steadfastly rejected higher gasoline taxes to curb unnecessary driving and strengthen demand for fuel-efficient vehicles (better to tax ourselves than let foreigners tax us through higher prices). And we have consistently restricted oil drilling in Alaska and elsewhere.

By doing so little to check its own thirst for imports, the United States has contributed to OPEC’s present triumph. The extent of that triumph will be tested this year and next. Non-OPEC oil supplies — from Brazil, Canada and Kazakhstan, among other places — will increase. Meanwhile, a weaker global economy may dampen demand. Even OPEC may be unable to hold prices at today’s high levels. Whatever happens, the long-term threat of a global oil cartel will remain. We should be taking the hard steps to limit its power. Considering our past complacency, we probably won’t.

Derivatives will bring financial Armageddon

No Gravatar

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.

They intend to outlaw home schooling so secular humanist indoctrination prevails

No Gravatar

Chuck Norris understands the home school issue. The solution might be a round up of all the activist judges.

Time for a Texas-style round up!

The reason government courts are nationally cracking down on private instruction has more to do with suppressing alternative education than assuring educational standards.The rationale is quite simple, though rarely if ever stated. If one wants to control the future ebbs and flows of a country, one must have command over future generations. This is done by seizing parental and educational power, legislating preferred educational materials and limiting private educational options. It is so simple any socialist can understand it. As Joseph Stalin once stated, “Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”

Is it merely coincidental that homeschooling was outlawed by the Soviet State in 1919, by Hitler and Nazi Germany in 1938 and by Communist China in 1949? Will California be next? America? Will we yield control and our educational rights as parents? Such would not only be an American travesty but a human disgrace.

EU reports new global warming climate deceptions

No Gravatar

What a completely loony report. There needs to be a EU report on the sanity of people who publish scare reports based on junk science. Global warming does not produce a reduction of arable land, shortages of water, diminished food stocks, increased flooding and prolonged droughts. On the other hand, global cooling will bring many of the above claims. The paranoid loons at the EU should worry about global cooling if they must prove they are crazy.

By the way, I suggest that the EU start its quest for sanity by not supporting that British royal loon that is running around the globe telling people how insane they are if they do not believe in the junk science presented for this global power grab. Prince Charles is not a scientist and he offers nothing but recycled Al Gore deceptions with Gore’s fascist solutions. The prince has little scientific knowledge of anything. If he had wisdom to offer the world his own life would not have been such a disaster. If other nations wanted a Royal snob telling us what we should do we would appoint are own from better stock.

Climate change a new factor in global tensions: EU

The UN predicts there will be millions of “environmental migrants” by 2020 which may in turn “increase conflicts in transit and destination areas,” says the report.In the Middle East, “existing tensions over access to water are almost certain to intensify in this region leading to further political instability with detrimental implications for Europe’s energy security and other interests”.

The security and environmental risks are joined and exacerbated by the economic risks, the report says.

It cited estimates that “a business as usual scenario” in dealing with climate change could cost the world economy up to 20 percent of GDP per year, with “the east coasts of China and India as well as the Caribbean region and Central America would be particurly effected.”

World still in the dark after politicians screw up Light of the world

No Gravatar

Joe Farah thinks the ban on light bulbs is really just a government power play. I take it that he think that this is a trial balloon and if these fascists get away with total control over our light bulbs they will soon go for total control over our lives.

Joe is correct about the fascist power play and where it is all heading but he misses one point. Politicians are indeed that stupid! I mean, they believe that light bulbs will help save the world. Not Jesus, the Light of the world, mind you! Light bulbs! Need I say anything more?

So, now you know how many politicians it takes to screw up a light bulb.

War on perfectly good light bulbs

This action makes no sense for so many reasons, it’s tough to list them all. But let me try:

  • Like I said, the action exceeds Congress’ authority. Show me where in the
    Constitution it empowers Congress to ban a perfectly safe and useful
    product in use for 100 years?
  • There is no manmade, catastrophic global warming – the reason this and other draconian actions are being taken by lawmakers and policy wonks.
  • Incandescent bulbs are less expensive than the fluorescent alternatives.
  • You can actually buy incandescent made in the U.S. by U.S. companies – not true of fluorescents, virtually all made in China.
  • Fluorescents are dangerous and contain trace amounts of mercury, a highly toxic
    substance environmentalists have been complaining about for years.
  • Fluorescent bulbs are hideously ugly.
  • Fluorescents don’t last as long as manufacturers claim.
  • The light fluorescents cast is offensive to many, and studies claim it can be harmful to some.
  • Fluorescents don’t come in all the sizes incandescent do.
  • Fluorescents can’t be used in all places incandescents can.
  • Whatever happened to choice?

How government polices starve the world and feed inflation

No Gravatar

Another stupid knee jerk policy by our government. If they really want to free us from foreign oil extortion they would allow the development of the oil and coal we have and break up the illegal OPEC cartel. Instead they put in place a policy that drives up food prices so that the poor of the world will starve. They are making food reserves so low that any major crop failure will bring major famine. Add to that the fact that it is not environmentally friendly to use food for fuel and the impact this will have on the cost of everything and it is lunacy.

Ethanol policy threatens to starve the world

Corn that traded around $2 a bushel just two years ago is now well over $5 a bushel. The impact ripples through the food chain of milk, butter, eggs, flour, pasta and everything else, because dairy cattle, beef cattle, poultry and swine depend on the corn for their feed. When chicken feed doesn’t cost chicken feed anymore, then neither does anything else.Other grains, like wheat, are also at record highs because farmers are planting less wheat and more corn, thanks to the ethanol incentives. Less supply, plus more world demand, means higher prices for wheat products, too, from flour to bread to pasta.

Full-scale food riots may arise in some parts of the world, as more and more grain is diverted into fuel production.

The Earth Policy Institute reports that ethanol-related food protests occurred last year in Mexico, Italy, Pakistan and Indonesia. A price-driven stampede killed three and injured 31 at a supermarket in China.

“We are witnessing the beginning of one of the great tragedies of history,” the EPI proclaimed in January. “The United States, in a misguided effort to reduce its oil insecurity by converting grain into fuel for cars, is generating global food insecurity on a scale never seen before.”

Kosovo really should be none of our business.

No Gravatar

This article tells you things about Kosovo and the consequences that you will not hear on the major media. It also gives a good analogy were this forced action to happen here rather then in the Balkans.

FrontPage Magazine

Thomas Landen asks in the Brussels Journal. He notes that Moscow has called on the UN to annul independence, and a UN vote may be the only thing to save us from a new world war over this Balkan province, ignored by the media and public for eight years as insignificant, despite the Balkans’ history for setting off world wars.“Indeed,” continues Landen, “what will Russia do if the 16,000 NATO ‘peacekeeping’ troops in Kosovo attack the Serbian army when it attempts to recover its breakaway province? If Russia intervenes, then 2008 might become the year that war broke out between Russia and NATO. America, the EU, Europe’s immigrant ‘youths,’ and Osama bin Laden would find themselves on one side, fighting Russia, China, and those Europeans who resist Islamization on the other.”

Who could have envisioned such a sorry state of affairs on September 12, 2001? The answer is: anyone who noticed that our Balkan policies didn’t change following 9/11.

We are now several years post-9/11, yet our government is creating Muslim states in Europe and is about to engage the United States military against European Orthodox Christians who don’t want to live under Muslim rule.
When did it become the free world’s business to spread Shari’a law, as is always the upshot of any Islamicizing region?

Man caused global warming determined to be scientifically wrong

No Gravatar

The article gives ample proof that CO2 does not drive global warming.  The author suggests that global warming advocates will either go into denial because they cannot take being wrong or they will switch to the threat of global cooling. I do not think that will be the way it will turn out.

There is already plenty of proof that global warming is not man caused and the little warming that there was over the last hundred years is not any threat to mankind. Nevertheless, if you tell lies long and loud enough, and certain people stand to get rich supporting these lies, and politicians stand to gain power over the people through these lies, the lies are not going to be done away with anytime soon.

If science reports that there is no man cause global warming. It simply will not be covered by the major medias and the educational systems. Those in the scientific community who tell the truth will be marginalized or even fired. Even today many scientists know the truth but they also know if they take any position against man caused global warming hype they risk losing their careers.

It is very much like the lie of evolution. No other truth will be accepted by the establishment and those who do try to teach truth are said to be fundamentalists nuts driven by religion that are deranged and dangerous if they actually believe that the Bible contains absolute truth. They call them a danger to society since they will not conform to the satanically inspired consensus of the godless and where they wish to take the world.

Politicians and the global elite will continue to support climate change junk science worldwide because the agenda behind this is not about climate control at all. It is really about wealth transfer, control over all people, group consensus, cosmic consciousness, man’s evolutionary advance and a tax base to fund global government. There is no major difference between what is going on here than what Hitler, Marx, Stalin and Mao envisioned for the people. Western society has been brainwashed to think that fascism is right wing. National socialism (Nazi’s) is Left wing. Social control of all people on earth through government and religion is from the Far Left.

They do not need a lot of time to bring about their fascist like world socialism. They have made huge advances in the last few years all over the world. They will have much of their global governance controls in place worldwide by early next decade.

If there is evidence of global cooling like we seen in China and other places this year they will just blame it on Climate Change caused by global warming. The populations of the earth have already been brainwashed to believe all climate change is caused by the warming of the earth. 

The only way this thing will be exposed and stopped is if people learn to critically think for themselves. Since that concept is not taught or allowed in this postmodern generation people will not catch on in time to stop their agenda of world control. Once the socialist fascist globalist elitist control freaks achieve their goals of total global governance, climate change will be the least of anyone’s concerns, but it will be too late to do anything about it. By the time the truth become evident to the general population the world will be under big brother and global tyranny.

You have been warned!

People who swear by the idea that man can affect climate - may drown in their own blood in a minute. The one factor left out is proof positive that elevated CO2 does not cause Global Warming. The debate is over. A good scientist can’t afford to miss this data.

If one looks at all temperature correlations and CO2 levels, there appears to be absolutely no correlation between the two variables. Granted, CO2 levels are at 370ppm right now–the highest they’ve been since 1850. But if one looks at the two above variables closely, the case can be made that the rising temperatures are actually responsible for increasing CO2 levels.

From the Scripps Institute (Mauna Loa), it can be seen that CO2 levels have increased virtually every year since 1850. But other sources—tree rings, ice cores, etc…, say that CO2 levels at earlier times have been more than 7x that of today.

Once this information settles in with “Global Warming” alarmists, two types will likely emerge. 1) Those that refuse to believe the actual data, and hold fast to their position because they don’t want to be considered wrong. And, 2) Those that will start screaming about concerns over the oncoming Global Cooling impact. That is if the other 17 known facts about natural causes of warming isn’t carefully considered as well.

D’Aleo concludes “Given the recent cooling of the Pacific and Atlantic and rapid decline in solar activity, we might anticipate given these correlations, temperatures to accelerate downward shortly.” Without CO2 driving climate, it is likely global warming alarmists won’t know what to do with themselves.

Would America fight China if attacked?

No Gravatar

This is an interesting report on the plans of the Chinese military in a conflict over Taiwan. Notice that the whole plan is based on the Chinese view that if hit hard in the East, America would not fight. They think we will just lick our wounds withdraw and go home.

Where do you suppose they get this delusion from?
That could only happen if the far Left takes over our country. So knowing that, when do you suppose China might dare to carry out such an attack? When a Liberal government is ruling our nation or when a conservative government is ruling?

All this should reinforced what we already know. Perceived military weakness by nations is a major cause of war.

clipped from www.airforcetimes.com
Chinese missiles hit runways, fuel lines, barracks and supply depots at U.S.
Air Force bases in Japan and South Korea. Long-range warheads destroy American
satellites, crippling Air Force surveillance and communication networks. A
nuclear fireball erupts high above the Pacific Ocean, ionizing the atmosphere
and scrambling radars and radio feeds.This is China’s anti-U.S. sucker punch strategy.

It’s designed to strike America’s military suddenly, stunning and stalling
the Air Force more than any other service. In a script written by Chinese
military officers and defense analysts, a bruised U.S. military, beholden to a
sheepish American public, puts up a small fight before slinking off to avoid
full-on war.

This strategic outlook isn’t hidden in secret Chinese documents. It’s printed
in China’s military journals and textbooks.

Trade deficit at highest level in 14 months

No Gravatar

We are now buying close to 3/4 of a trillion dollars worth of stuff more then we are selling to the nations each year. This has to end or the fall of the dollar and loss of jobs will continue.

“WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit in November surged to the highest level in 14 months, reflecting record imports of foreign oil. The deficit with China declined slightly while the weak dollar boosted exports to another record high. The Commerce Department reported Friday that the trade deficit, the gap between imports and exports, jumped 9.3%, to $63.1 billion. The imbalance was much larger than the $60 billion that had been expected.”

China and India Exploit Icy Energy Reserves

No Gravatar

Now here is a real answer to the energy needs of the world not burning corn made ethanol. There is more of this Crystal Meth in the earth then ever can be used and no I am not talking about the drug. Ignore the part of the article talking about the threat to climate there is no such thing.

China and India have reported massive finds of frozen methane gas off their coasts, which they hope will satisfy their energy needs. But environmentalists fear that tapping these resources could have adverse effects on the world climate.

Individual privacy under threat in Europe and U.S.

No Gravatar

It should be no surprise that the more fear that exists the more Big Brother will be called upon to protect. The problem is when Big brother becomes a worse threat than the people that are feared.

LONDON: Individual privacy is under threat in the United States and across the European Union as governments introduce sweeping surveillance and information-gathering measures in the name of security and controlling borders, an international rights group has said in a report. Greece, Romania and Canada had the best privacy records of 47 countries surveyed by Privacy International, which is based in London. Malaysia, Russia and China were ranked worst. Both Britain and the United States fell into the lowest-performing group of ‘endemic surveillance societies.’”

Beijing air pollution ‘as bad as it can get

No Gravatar

Beijing truly has deadly air pollution. The government says air quality is improving but since they do nothing to make that happen it is only deceptive rhetoric. Environmentalists and sane people might question why Beijing would be picked for the world Olympics? I guess the Olympic committee does not care about the health of the athletes and all those who will attend the event. If you plan on being there you might pack a gas mask. Maybe everyone should boycott the event and then China might get the message and clean up their act. People are dying in China because China will do nothing to clean up its power plants and industries. Meanwhile the world keeps buying their manufactured products made cheaper via no environmental regulations. I guess we all just wish to encourage China to win the 2008 Olympic gold medal for air pollution.

Beijing air pollution ‘as bad as it can get - Beijingers were warned
to stay indoors on Thursday as pollution levels across the capital hit the top of the scale, despite repeated assurances by the government that air quality was improving.”

Stephen Baskerville Ph.D. — Totalitarianism in America

No Gravatar

Stephen Baskerville Ph.D. — Totalitarianism in America: “Mass incarcerations without trial or charge; forced confessions; children forcibly separated from their parents with no reasons given; doctored hearing transcripts and falsified court records; evidence fabricated against the innocent; government agents entering the homes, examining private papers and personal effects, and seizing the property of citizens who are under no suspicion of legal wrongdoing; special courts created specifically to convict people who cannot be convicted in ordinary courts; children instructed to hate their parents by state functionaries: Is all this the Soviet Union in the 1930s or Communist China in the 1960s? Is this some novelist’s prognosticated dystopia? No, all this and more is routine in the United States today.”

Israel PM warns Iran can develop nuclear bomb by 2010

No Gravatar

Israel PM warns Iran can develop nuclear bomb by 2010: “Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned on Tuesday that Iran is likely to develop an atomic bomb by 2010 if it is allowed to continue its controversial nuclear programme. He said a report by the National Intelligence Estimate — the consensus view of all 16 US intelligence agencies — saying Iran had ended its nuclear weapons programme in 2003 should not stop international pressure on Tehran to stop uranium enrichment. ‘Iran continues its activities to enrich uranium, and even according to the NIE report, it is likely to accumulate sufficient amounts to create a nuclear weapon by 2010,’ Olmert told the Institute for National Security Studies. ‘Iran continues its activities to attain two vital components to create nuclear weapons — the development of a sophisticated electrical system and ballistic missiles, while at the same time producing enriched uranium. “

You might figure out how world sanctions will stop Iran when you already lost Russia and China due to the NIE report? Not that there was any chance of them working anyway. Does any sane person really think that Iran is just going to stop its nuclear program?

The Religious Left’s Meltdown on Global Warming

No Gravatar

FrontPage MagazineThese middle aged prelates of subsidized state churches in wealthy northern Europe of course will be largely unaffected by the vast taxation and deindustrialization that they demand for the earth’s supposed salvation. They will remain in their official ecclesial palaces, which will undoubtedly remain well air conditioned and well heated, thanks to the largely non-church going taxpayers of their countries. But if the bishops’ demands are taken seriously, which they are by the international environmental left, then hundreds of millions of other people will have to abandon any plausible dreams of better lives for themselves or their children.
A growing world population cannot simultaneously reduce industrial emissions by 80 percent in 38 years without withholding modern material comforts from most of the Third World. Hundreds of millions in China, India, Africa and Latin America cannot aspire to refrigeration, air conditioning, reliable heating, or most electricity, much less automobiles, if reducing “carbon footprints” becomes humanity’s most important goal.
