The unexpected happened today the 700 billion dollar bailout plan failed in the House. The main reason it failed is Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s big mouth. She knew they had a close vote in the House but she just could not resist the temptation to use the biggest financial crises in modern times to rail in front of the whole House against the Bush administration and the Republicans just before the all important vote. Thus she lost the vote from some republicans. Leaders should know when to speak and when to keep their mouths shut but not Nancy “I am trying to save the world” Pelosi. She is not even in control of herself.

So a bill that would have brought us on a path to state socialism failed today but you can be certain they will try to bring it back by the end of the week. Now we will probably see a huge sell off in the markets and that will be all that it takes to get the votes. Nevertheless, in the next few days firms are going to fail and many are likely to lose entire fortunes.

A rescue of some sort is probably necessary or the whole world will go into a great depression very quickly but I will tell you why I think any short delay is good.

Everything has been way overvalued for quite some time now. The Stock Market is still almost double where it should be. People say we lost over a trillion dollars in the stock market today and while that is true on paper the wealth really was never there to start with. Overvalued paper is not wealth. So yeah, the government could have propped up the overvalued paper for awhile but that is only a short term fix. The only real fix is to let the overvalued paper go to the value it is really worth. Sure, that will take away over half of peoples retirement savings etc. but I am telling you much of your wealth was an illusion to start with, you never really had it. You cannot get double digit returns for decades when the economy is going nowhere and not expect a crash to come eventually.

A nation cannot keep spending much more than they have anymore than you can. Lets face it Ron Paul was right on our economic situation. The wealth they claimed was there was never there. It was a con game and a pyramid scheme that they they used to gamble with. So the more things drop to the real value of all that paper we are holding before the government steps in the sooner we can return to anything close to fiscal sanity. A prop up by the government at artificially high levels will only work until the next financial shock. This crises will not be over even with a massive bailout.

It is not all about the United States either. Global markets are also in panic and not just because of what is happening in the United States. Britain is entering a housing crises similar to ours and Spain’s housing and debt situation is even worse. Inflation is high in most countries of the world and a world recession is almost a certainty. That will bring rapidly falling oil prices and the oil rich nations that were buying debt will get very tight very quickly. That means interest rates will soar to service our debt before long and that is another crises coming for us. Russia’s economy is based almost entirely on energy exports and Europe is dependent on Russia’s energy so what blackmail will they try to pull on Europe this winter?

In any case, welcomed to the worst economic collapse of our time and it really does not matter much in the long term what our government does to try to shore up the dike. It can be a slow collapse or a fast collapse but things here are going to collapse much like in the old Soviet Union. And that’s probably the good news. Stay tuned for the bad news.

I just read two articles today Sept 30th by Jimmy De Young and Garry Kah that make a lot of sense and add to what I said here yesterday. De Young points out that many bankers are Jewish and this could bring Jewish persecution. I basically said the same thing on a comment on another blog because guess who economic losers always blame in the final analysis?

Garry Kah’s article makes several good points about our banking crises and where it might lead and I agree with most of his points. He also said the world finnancal crises is likely to help bring persecution to the Jews they have a history of becoming the scapegoats. You can read Kah’s excellent insights here wall street in crises.

Here is also another link that fully explains why the confused free marketer’s are really bringing about its own distruction by embracing the ideas of Marxism.

Awwwww! Maybe you Europeans ought to get it into your socialist godless heads that Americans don’t want your stinking system. If the rest of the world does not like us for rejecting a mouth with no judgment and his Far Left socialist programs they do not have to come here to live. Obama’s programs will cost us a trillion dollars in new taxes. We don’t want them. Keep your fifty percent tax rates over there.

Maybe you should take something for that sinking feeling that you British liberals get in your stomach when America elects a conservative. May I suggest taking a biblical course and a course on the U.S. Constitution as a remedy. We are not like you and we will never be like you unless we start to elect people like Obama.

My golly! A woman who mentions that God blesses a state and nation when there heart is right with God is just too much for Jonathan. We can’t have that kind of narrow minded Christian thinking in godless Europe can we? Gee Jonathan, where did your name come from? Was it the Bible? Maybe you should change your name like Obama did. “Obedient Slavedland” seems about appropriate to me.

In America someone is going to lose the election sure enough, so if those in the blue states want to whine about losing all the time they might try putting up a candidate that does not always come from the Far Left reaches of their party. You know, that part of the Democratic Party that mostly appeals to elite control freaks and their brainwashed subjects. The subjects that tend to be mostly government welfare lazies and kids in rebellion that will not even get off their butt to vote.

The American election is not a global ballet, Jonathan. We don’t tell you how to vote so don’t presume you know what is best for Americans. We could care less what persons around the world would vote for because they are not voting for our leader. We are! I am sure all the leftist dictators around the world will be jumping for glee if Obama wins, we would expect nothing less. If America really was so out of touch with what is right in the world, the world would not need us to keep bailing their butt out of the fire all the time. You ought to thank the God you do not believe in that there has been a America with good judgment.

Now you know why the majority of us in the U.S. will not vote for that leftist media promotion called Obama and if we do you better run for your life because the world is suddenly going to become a very unstable place.

What you do not get is that the dispute with you Europeans has always been with the Americans themselves and not with our ruling clique. Our government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We are not a government of the elite like Europe. We want so little to do with Europe that most of our ancestors departed from it because of your evil. If it were not for the fifth column of Leftists that have taken over the American media and educational system you would find out just how conservative the heartland of America really is.

Stick that thought in your pipe and suck on it. It should soon give you such a deep sinking feeling in your stomach that maybe you will want to give up writing stupid commentaries about some great black socialist hope for America and the world. You also might realize that the EU is not in the free world.

Jonathan Freedland: The world’s verdict will be harsh if the US rejects the man it yearns for | Comment is free | The Guardian

The world’s verdict will be harsh if the US rejects the man it yearns for
An America that disdains Obama for his global support risks turning current anti-Bush feeling into something far worse

The feeling is familiar. I had it four years ago and four years before that: a sinking feeling in the stomach. It’s a kind of physical pessimism which says: “It’s happening again. The Democrats are about to lose an election they should win - and it could not matter more.”

Remember, this is a woman who once addressed a church congregation, saying of her work as governor - transport, policing and education - “really all of that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s heart isn’t right with God”.

If Sarah Palin defies the conventional wisdom that says elections are determined by the top of the ticket, and somehow wins this for McCain, what will be the reaction? Yes, blue-state America will go into mourning once again, feeling estranged in its own country. A generation of young Americans - who back Obama in big numbers - will turn cynical, concluding that politics doesn’t work after all. And, most depressing, many African-Americans will decide that if even Barack Obama - with all his conspicuous gifts - could not win, then no black man can ever be elected president.

But what of the rest of the world? This is the reaction I fear most. For Obama has stirred an excitement around the globe unmatched by any American politician in living memory. Polling in Germany, France, Britain and Russia shows that Obama would win by whopping majorities, with the pattern repeated in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. If November 4 were a global ballot, Obama would win it handsomely. If the free world could choose its leader, it would be Barack Obama.

If Americans choose McCain, they will be turning their back on the rest of the world, choosing to show us four more years of the Bush-Cheney finger. And I predict a deeply unpleasant shift.

Until now, anti-Americanism has been exaggerated and much misunderstood: outside a leftist hardcore, it has mostly been anti-Bushism, opposition to this specific administration. But if McCain wins in November, that might well change. Suddenly Europeans and others will conclude that their dispute is with not only one ruling clique, but Americans themselves. For it will have been the American people, not the politicians, who will have passed up a once-in-a-generation chance for a fresh start - a fresh start the world is yearning for.

The Islamics in Europe might now be putting a rope around their own neck. They are biting the hand that feeds them. Even dogs don’t do that if they want to live. There are places in Europe where even police fear to go. Foreign born Muslim immigrants now think they can bully the European natives to allow the creation of rebellious mini lawless welfare states on old Europe soil?

Sure maybe they can in France for a while and maybe they can in England for awhile and maybe they can in some other nations for awhile. But in Germany? I would not rile the Germans if I were you! If you do, I will guarantee that there will be a right wing backlash movement that will start in Germany and spread throughout Europe.

The whole scenario reminds me of a prophecy of an old christian mystic that saw all of Europe’s streets running with blood and full of dead bodies. She called it “the great chastisement” (not to be confused with the great tribulation). Muslims in Germany had better take heed. When people live in a foreign land they should try to get along with the natives. They may not endure you forever, especially the Germans.

First it was France, and now Germany.

German authorities are reporting that, within their cities, areas now exist where police fear to tread. In many German urban areas drug dealing, theft, brawls, and assaults on police officers are the order of the day. The problem is becoming so severe police scarcely dare enter some quarters except in strength, while in others they concentrate on their own safety first.

But this is old news to French law enforcement officials. The 2005 riots woke France up to the fact that an anti-civilization had arisen in the “banlieues” (housing projects), which surround major French cities. Populated mainly by immigrants from North and West Africa, many with a Muslim background, they are known as places of anger and aggression towards anyone who represents “official” France.

In Germany, the problem neighbourhoods are often located within the city and not on the outskirts. Like in France, though, urban anti-societies have arisen, but in Germany they consist mainly of Turkish and Arab immigrants, many from Lebanon. In their districts, German laws and values now have little, if any, validity, while their culture of lawlessness does.

Police complain that when they conduct routine checks in these neighbourhoods, they are met with angry crowds and often risk assault. Even when a policeman is carrying out a simple duty, like inspecting someone’s identification, out of nowhere suddenly appear 20 to 30 men, yelling wildly, who push and shove him. They assemble quickly after having been contacted by cell phone

The overall purpose of such disturbing behavior and anti-police incidents is to turn these immigrant neighbourhoods into lawless mini-states, where their tribal and religious customs and rules predominate, and criminals can act freely. In scuffles and confrontations German police are often told, in threat and obscenity-filled language, to go away and that these streets belong to the ethnic group that lives there.

As everyone knows, a competent and effective police force is necessary to protect the law-abiding citizen, guarantee his rights and carry out one of the main functions of the state: law and order. But increasingly in some European urban areas, a police uniform has come to mean nothing. And countries like Germany do not act now to reverse this, their cities will become as burnt out and eviscerated as the carcasses of cars France knows only too well.

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.

Global warming has been discredited but the lies go on and on like the energizer bunny. Someone should tap the source of the energy in all the global warming gas bags and we would solve the energy crises.

By the way, coal prices are falling because Europe is cutting back on coal because of their fear of CO2 emissions. If we had any brains we would now use this opportunity to convert coal into oil. Not that America is going to stop worshiping their own global warming gas bags anytime soon.

The real reason people want to believe that global warming is man caused is that they know they are guilty of defiling the planet but like all pagans they think they can fix spiritual defilement with some physical appeasement. They think they can just go to high priest Al Gore, buy indulgences from Carbon Gaia and Gore will give them absolution to continue to spiritually defile the planet.

Global View - WSJ.com

Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited. Now it’s time for political scientists, theologians and psychiatrists to weigh in.

This last item is, of course, a forecast, not an empirical observation. But it raises a useful question: If even slight global cooling remains evidence of global warming, what isn’t evidence of global warming? What we have here is a nonfalsifiable hypothesis, logically indistinguishable from claims for the existence of God. This doesn’t mean God doesn’t exist, or that global warming isn’t happening. It does mean it isn’t science.

So let’s stop fussing about the interpretation of ice core samples from the South Pole and temperature readings in the troposphere. The real place where discussions of global warming belong is in the realm of belief, and particularly the motives for belief.

The words of the European elite quoted in this article speak for themselves. They think they know what is best for the people of Europe and they will lie, deceive and not allow a popular vote because they will not take no to the federalization of Europe for an answer.

They are the aristocrats and the people are their subjects. So what has changed in Europe since the days of Roman Empire? The aristocratic rule in Europe continues even if they like to call it democracy.

American Thinker: Why Irish Voters Rejected the Lisbon Treaty

As many observers of European politics know, democracy does not come easy on a continent where European elites view themselves as an aristocracy entitled to rule over the ignorant masses. Indeed, the entire European social welfare state has been built upon the unspoken quid pro quo of “bread and circuses” (ie, the cradle-to-grave nanny state) for the general populace, in exchange for their loyal submission to the political and intellectual classes.

Thus it should come as no big surprise that the word ‘No’ does not exist in the European political lexicon. After voters in France and the Netherlands rejected the European Constitution (of which the Lisbon Treaty is an almost exact replica) in 2005, European elites famously advised the miscreants to keep voting until they come up with the right answer.

So how about this time around? Will European politicians, who say they want to bring “Europe” closer to the people, accept the will of Irish voters?

What follows is a brief summary of comments made by select European leaders, both before and after the Irish referendum. It not only provides an explanation as to why Irish voters are turned off by the Lisbon Treaty, but it also sheds some light on the state of democracy in contemporary Europe.

Hysteria is rampant and the people have become delusional. There should be a war against progressive mental illness from the halls of Time Magazine to the shores of Massachusetts and California.

From fighting evil to fighting carbon emissions

The Time cover is cheap heroism. It is a liberal attempt to depict as equally heroic those who fight carbon emissions and those who fought Japanese fascists and Nazis.

Second, for much of the left, the cover reflects the primacy of environmental concerns over moral concerns. For example, the left seemed never to care about the millions of Africans who continued to die from malaria largely because of the environmentalists’ worldwide ban on the use of DDT as pesticide. The same holds true for another left-wing environmentalist fantasy. Changing corn into biofuels is causing a surge in food prices throughout the world. The European Union continues this policy despite warnings even from some environmentalists that food shortages, starvation and food riots are imminent. But human suffering is not as significant as environmental degradation.

Third, the left is far more internationalist – global, if you will – in its orientation than national. As the Time article states, “Going green: What could be redder, whiter and bluer than that?” Whereas, for most Americans patriotism remains red, white and blue, for much of the left it is green.

Fourth, the further left you go, the more inclined you are to hysteria. From the threat of DDT to the threat of heterosexual AIDS in America to that mass killer secondhand smoke, the left believes and spreads threats that, unlike the threat of Islamic terror, really are “scare tactics.”

Al Gore’s accused people like the following of being in the flat earth society because they do not believe in his man caused Co2 driven global warming theories. Al Gore is a politician with a political agenda. These men are top scientists so who do you think is really telling the truth?

FrontPage Magazine

In Lawrence Solomon’s new book — The Deniers: The World-Renowned Scientists Who Stood up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud — and Those Who Are Too Fearful to Do So — the environmental columnist for Canada’s National Post lists a few of the “kooks” who haven’t attained Al Gore’s exalted level of scientific knowledge:

Dr. Antonino Zichichi,
a former president of the European Physical Society who discovered
nuclear antimatter and is one of the world’s foremost physicists. He
calls global warming projection models “incoherent and invalid.”

Dr. Christopher Landsea, the past
chairman of the American Meteorological Society’s Committee on Tropical
Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones. Says he: “There are no known
scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global
warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity.”

Prof. Freeman Dyson, one of the world’s most eminent physicists. He asserts the models used to justify global warming alarmism are “full of fudge factors” and “do not begin to describe the real world that we live in.”

Prof. Paul Reiter, chief
of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the famed Pasteur Institute. He
notes, “no major scientist with any long record in this field” accepts
Gore’s claim that global warming spreads mosquito-borne diseases.

Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski, a
world-renowned expert on the ancient ice cores used in historical
climate research. He says the U.N. “based its global-warming hypothesis
on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are
false.”

Obama sees no evil among the evil because there are no evil demonic people within his communist universalism. Everyone is one collective consciousness evolving to its universal Christ consciousness. If you really want to know what Obama believes you might realize what his top supporters believe. For example watch New Age/New Spirituality Oprah

Sen. Obama coddles evil

Obama likes to compare himself to Ronald Reagan. Reagan, Obama says, negotiated with the USSR. Naturally, Obama neglects to mention that Reagan only negotiated with the USSR after placing missiles in Europe, funding Star Wars, joking about bombing the Soviets and calling the USSR an “evil empire.” Obama’s meetings would be more like an Oprah interview than a Reagan negotiation.

It’s not surprising Obama is willing to have coffee with those who hate America. After all, he allowed an America-hater to preside over his wedding. He sat in the pews while his spiritual mentor railed against Israel. He’s used to Ahmadinejad-like rhetoric – he went to a church full of it for two decades.

Obama has no problem chatting with the world’s bloodiest butchers or sitting in racist churches because he “understands” everyone. Back in November, I wrote that Obama was running as “The Man Who Understands.”

“I know, I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless,” he writes in “Dreams From My Father.” That understanding leads him to excuse Islamic terrorism as a function of poverty; it leads him to compare black teens on the South Side of Chicago to jihadis in Indonesia. It leads him to excuse scumbag preachers and kowtow to sadistic tyrants.

There’s clearly one thing Barack Obama doesn’t understand: the nature of evil. That’s why he continues to coddle evil men in both his personal life and his politics.

Very true, a hate speech precedence is being set for global tyranny. Government will then use the same hate speech laws created because of the fear of violent reprisals to end all proselytizing and to stop minority decent against laws of the elite ruling class.

There is no way to stop this because these people do not answer to the people of the world. The only way the U.S. can temporarily not come under what they are setting up is to get out of these world organizations. Fat chance!

FrontPage Magazine

Will it soon be illegal to speak about the use that Islamic jihadists make of Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism? If it is, the only ones who will benefit will be the jihadists themselves – advancing the jihadist agenda far more effectively than riots ever could alone. The demonstrations on the one hand and the calls to limit free speech on the other neatly coalesce into a carrot-and-stick strategy. The message to the West is that speech about Islam that the Islamic world dislikes could lead to violent reprisals – but if the West heeds the voice of reason and clamps down on free speech and free inquiry, this violence will melt away. It is a message that all too many Leftist, appeasement-minded European and American leaders will find quite enticing. And that could be the most serious threat of all to our survival as a free people.

Although I do not agree that Co2 is causing global warming I do agree with the other points in this article. The overreaction to climate change by the European Union could have much more serious consequences than any possible man caused warming.

FT.com / Comment & analysis / Comment - A foolish overreaction to climate change

The first is that the European Union, which already has the bit between its teeth on this issue, will severely damage its own economy by deciding to set an example to the world. And the second is that it will seek to limit that damage, as President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and others are already urging, by imposing trade barriers against those countries that are not prepared to accept mandatory cuts in their emissions.

A lurch into protectionism, and the rolling back of globalisation, would do far more damage to the world economy in general and to the developing countries in particular than could conceivably result from the projected resumption of global warming.

It is high time this folly ended.

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.

It sometimes only takes one strong man to began a movement. Europe does not know it yet but leaders like Wilder are Europe’s future. People will soon see that the appeasers of Islam have brought them social unrest and destruction. They will see that those appeasing a foreign culture with radical religious laws are destroying their own national security and identity. They will see that the same type of men who are best at hiking their skirts and groveling at bully’s feet brought this all on them. Will it get nasty? Yes. Will the native homeland movements in Europe be essential for Europeans own self respect. You bet. Will Islam around the world go nuts? You bet. The Wilder solution is all the more reason not to let Iran get nukes.

In an unprecedented speech to the Dutch parliament this month, Wilders again pointed to the danger a creeping Islamification poses to Holland and Europe, warning it was “a few minutes to midnight.” He also chided the ruling party for betraying the Dutch culture and people, calling one minister “stark raving mad” in the speech for having said that sharia law could be introduced into Holland.Wilders has paid a heavy price for his position. He has had his own freedom restricted. Death threats from Muslim extremists have caused him to be put under 24-hour police protection for the past two years. Wilders thus joins the growing list of people in Europe requiring protection from Islamic radicals. At one time, it was only Salman Rushdie who was forced to live in hiding; now, as one observer pointed out, such people are so numerous they nearly constitute a new, social class.

Most citizens of the Netherlands have forgotten, but the Dutch were once made of sterner stuff.

“Europe is now light years away from such a resolute response to the threat of radical Islam. And that makes Wilders’ film — a lone note of dissent in a continent resigned to cultural submission — all the more important.”

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.

You might like to know what electing a Democratic president will cost you? For starters is will be over $3000 a year in new Federal taxes. You can also be certain that you will pay additional costs for planned socialized programs such as Medical care and Social Secrity.

Despite healthy tax revenues and federal spending that tops $25,000 per household, the House Democratic majority has proposed a fiscal year (FY) 2009 federal budget that:

• Raises taxes by $1.265 trillion over five years and $3.911 trillion over 10 years, or more than $3,135per household annually;
• Includes 17 reserve funds that could be used to raise taxes by hundreds of billions more;
• Increases discretionary spending by 8 percent and does not terminate a single wasteful program; and
• Completely ignores the impending explosion of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid costs.

Things are going so well in Afghanistan. One has to wonder why a religion expects non believers to abide by their own religious rules and honor their prophet?

One might think that they believe their God is so non existent that he actually needs them. Perhaps this god needs rioting in the streets and people cutting open their heads. Like the followers of Baal did to get the attention of thier god that never showed up. However, Elijah said a prayer and called down fire from heaven with his God. If your god is real you might try calling on Him instead of taking matters in your own hands. If he is not real you might switch to the real God instead of waring for a false god.

I have to say this for certain Dutch people. They figured out a way to force their military out of Afghanistan. Not that doing so will save them from future terrorists.

FOXNews.com - Thousands of Afghan Students Protest Danish Prophet Muhammad Cartoon, Dutch Movie - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News

JALALABAD, Afghanistan — Thousands of Afghan students chanted slogans and burned Danish and Dutch flags Sunday in the latest in a series of protests over perceived insults against Islam.The protesters in the eastern city of Jalalabad denounced an upcoming Dutch film that reportedly criticizes Islam’s holy book, the Koran. They also condemned Danish newspapers’ recent republications of a cartoon that depicted the Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.

The several thousand demonstrators shouted slogans against Denmark and the Netherlands. They also chanted “Death to America” and “Long live Al Qaeda.”

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.”

Americans like the Europeans are losing control of their government. The people  have become apathetic and think that government will look out for them without the checks and balances designed by the founders of our nation. On the contrary, government without oversight by the people turns toward tyranny.

Following Europe toward tyranny

The government we are moving toward is an administrative government, in which elected representatives become little more than a token to the form of government created by the U.S. Constitution. When any government is empowered to impose rules of behavior without the consent of the governed, freedom is the victim. When government is empowered – without the consent of the governed – to define what freedom may be exercised, the result is a dictatorship, whether by a Hitler, a supreme soviet, or an appointed Inter-Parliamentary Group.Where are the Americans who still believe that the best possible government is a government whose power is limited by the consent of the governed? They are certainly not in a Congress that allows NAFTA, the SPP and the North American Community to continue.

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.

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.”
