Barry the Blamer
Post Published: 01 February 2010I have never heard a United States President pass-the-buck as often as Barry Soetoro does. I think it is a standard line in all his speeches where he repeats somewhere in the middle “…I had a huge problem when I walked in the door…” Yes, it is true Bush left Barry a big bleepin’ bleep of a mess. But Mr. Soetoro also conveniently NEVER blames the Pelosi/Reid regime that took power in 2007 and actually created the budget mess he inherited. However, Barry knew what the problems were when he applied for the job….you should not aspire to the Presidency without having knowledge of the tasks before you.
Here is where BS’s story runs afoul of common sense:
Depending on who you get your numbers from, Bush’s last year left a budget deficit of between 400 and 500 Billion. BS’s first year left a deficit of 1.4 TRILLION. He just proposed a new budget of 1.56 TRILLION.
You don’t get to triple the budget deficit, and then blame the guy before you. I still believe the economy would and will mend itself faster without ANY stimulus, tarp, bailouts, or increased government money printing. The surest way to a recovery is the unequivocal REMOVAL of government interference.
You don’t get to triple the budget deficit, and then run in front of the cameras and talk about “freezing” spending or “taking a scalpel” to the budget. This is just more empty rhetoric for the brain-dead masses. Trimming 15 Billion out of 1.56 Trillion is like the average family cutting a penny out of their yearly electronic purchases budget. Sure, they could go on Oprah and tell her, quite truthfully, that they cut their electronics spending budget as compared to last year, while they secretly spent more on every other aspect of their budget, and while putting all that increased spending on a high-interest-rate credit card.
Barry is a slick talker, surrounded by political professionals (paid for by you and me) who do nothing but sit around all day figuring out new ways to manipulate the English language. Forget what BS says, and watch what he does. Getting tough with spending and the deficit and the Federal budget would not typically include a yearly INCREASE…only in Barryville does increasing equal reducing.
The Constitution Wins One !!
Post Published: 22 January 2010One of the major reasons I was unable to strongly support John McCain in the last election was his McCain/Feingold bill that limited freedom of speech for some, while allowing it for others. The bill was called the “Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act” because both sides loved the bill’s goal of not naming a federal candidate within 60 days of a federal election. All the bill really did was provide aid and comfort to the incumbent politician…something both sides could easily agree on. When voting to save your own job, bipartisanship becomes a free-love Woodstock-style gathering. The bill also initiated those annoying ad endings of “I’m Senator Cor Rupt, and I approved this message.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartisan_Campaign_Reform_Act
Yesterday (Jan 21, 2010), the Supreme Court sided with the First Amendment which says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
It is a simple concept: The government does not get to decide what I write, read, or say or how I spend my money to consume what others read, write, or say.
What I find profoundly disturbing, is that yet again, the simplicity of the 1st Amendment, much like the simplicity of the 2nd Amendment, requires so much debate and consternation. “Congress shall make NO LAW…NO LAW, none, zero, zip…abridging the freedom of speech.” None Senator McCain. None Senator Feingold. None Justices Ginsburg, Bryer, Stevens, and the independent thinking Sotomayor. Yes…they voted down “party lines” again with the 5-4 decision. The 4 liberal justices have proven, once again, that they HATE the Constitution and the principals for which it stands.
Writing for the majority opinion, Justice Kennedy wrote “When government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought. This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves.”
He goes on “Quite apart from the purpose or effect of regulating content, moreover, the Government may commit a constitutional wrong when by law it identifies certain preferred speakers. By taking the right to speak from some and giving it to others, the Government deprives the disadvantaged person or class of the right to use speech to strive to establish worth, standing, and respect for the speaker’s voice. The Government may not by these means deprive the public of the right and privilege to determine for itself what speech and speakers are worthy of consideration. The First Amendment protects speech and speaker, and the ideas that flow from each. We find no basis for the proposition that, in the context of political speech, the Government may impose restrictions on certain disfavored speakers. Both history and logic lead us to this conclusion.”
Not surprisingly, Team Obama is furious with this decision. They simply do not like freedom, for a host of reasons that all relate back to their simple goal of a massive central governmental authority (socialism). This juxtaposition in the liberal wing has always confounded me…on one hand, you have the big-government all-controlling all-powerful liberals, but then you also have the anything goes, every-perversion-is-normal, Hollywood-filth liberals. One side wants to control all (including our health and the very air we breathe) and one side wants no controls over their drug-infused Hollywood Pop-Culture lifestyles. Maybe we should just get out of their way and let the two sides consume each other…
In the mean time, I think after I enjoy writing this blog with the 1st Amendment intact, I shall go out and enjoy the 2nd Amendment. I urge our local politicians to brush up on the 10th Amendment, and ask Team Obama to thoroughly review the 14th Amendment.
Panderer-in-Chief
Post Published: 21 January 2010All throughout his campaign, candidate Obama insisted he would be about a “new-tone” in Washington…bi-partisan approaches…open and ethical government…meetings televised on C-Span. All throughout 2009, Team Obama did NONE OF THOSE THINGS. In referring to Republicans, Team Obama’s team captain repeatedly made statements similar to “Why would we have those who created the problem help solve the problem?” Next came the closed meetings, back-room deal making, voting before reading the bills, etc.
And then the earthquake. No – not the tragic one in Haiti – the one in Massachusetts. The deepest, darkest of “blue states” voted a Republican into Ted Kennedy’s seat. My faith in Americans everywhere was restored. When the country needed them, the independent voters in Massachusetts stepped up and threw off the BLUE stranglehold, and restored some much needed sanity back into the political fray.The hard-core left, of course, blamed the local candidate for not trying hard enough. But Obama seems to have taken notice:
“President Barack Obama advised fellow Democrats against trying to jam a health care bill through Congress after taking a devastating hit from the loss of a Senate seat. He said Wednesday it’s time to come together around a bill that can draw Republican support, too.”
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DBMHA00&show_article=1
While the rest of Team Obama is running around trying to do damage control, it seems the President himself might be starting to get the message. I remain cynical, for now. Obama’s entire history suggests he is incapable of governing from the center…but with his poll numbers tanking faster than both the economy and his health care legacy, he now says it is time to let the Republicans sit at the negotiating table. Is it because of two devastating earthquakes in one week, or is he simply becoming the “Panderer-in-Chief”…???
I’m in shock
Post Published: 14 January 2010I just saw a video in which a CNN contributor just ripped Nancy Pelosi a “new one.” I am not used to seeing CNN offer commentary such as this. Maybe they are tired of getting trounced by Fox News.
In any event, here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc9fsPTyqe8&feature=player_embedded#
And yes, Nancy Pelosi is an elitist, pandering, tax-gobbling, spendaholic.
Masters of Puppets
Post Published: 11 January 2010I have been wondering about the real motivations of the Democrats for a while now. They have a party with tons of viable, well-known, long-time party loyalists perfectly capable of running for President. But – they chose an unknown, not even one term Senator. Obviously, their choice was successful, but I also suspect, given the media-driven hatred of George Bush, and the eight-year “burn-out” factor, that any major candidate from the opposition party would have won.
So why Barack Obama ?
The obvious answer: Obama is an extremely smooth, well-spoken, popular and attractive candidate. They realized that the voting public was highly uninformed with a millisecond attention span and would easily become enamored with sound bites of “change”. It is the same tactic that has won junior high school elections for a hundred years.
The real answer: The extremists running the party wanted an inexperienced lap-dog that would generate strong public support for his personal attributes to deflect the inevitable public criticism that would follow once the public learned the truth about the goals and ambitions of the real Democrat Party.
What I have always been curious about is the fact that 90% of African-Americans vote Democrat. This is strange on many levels, because the Democrats have never solved any of the problems that many African-Americans face, including poverty, drugs, and bad schools. Instead of voting for actual change, it seems that they vote for the “same” over and over again.
It is also strange that the rich white men who run the Democrat Party are often the individuals who display the most racist behavior.
Senator Robert Byrd (D-Virginia): Voted “Exalted Cyclops” of the Klu Klux Klan. He also wrote the following:
“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side… Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senator_Robert_Byrd
Vice-President Joe Biden: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
Hairy Reed: “Described in private then Sen. Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100109/ap_on_el_se/us_obama_reid
Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy about Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
Source: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0110/Teddys_anger.html
Obviously not all Democrats are racist…there are racists everywhere. There have already been 1,000’s of blogs on the topic of racism in both parties; this blog is not about racism. The reason for these examples is to make the point that the extremely rich white men who are actually running the Democrat Party, while they may enjoy having Obama as an icon, they do not truly respect him as a person. He is being used as a popular populist puppet to further their extremely radical goals – and he will be made the scapegoat when their ideas fail…both in actuality and in public opinion. They will push him in one direction behind the scenes, and then run away from him in a b-line to the nearest camera to claim their “moderateness” and “bi-partisan” approach just needs some more time and some additional funding to yield results.
The only reason to select such an inexperienced candidate with no private sector background was so they could more easily drive the agenda. When you take a person with very little historical substance, no records or documentable history of achievement, and no core values – except those gleaned from Chicago Chicanery – you have the classic example of a Manchurian Candidate who is programmed to assassinate traditional American values, while projecting a smooth calming-of-the- masses confidence that enables his “handlers” to re-make the country.
The scary part: Whether there is an R or a D behind the President’s name, I suspect these “puppeteers” and “handlers” are the very same people.
On a similar note: I can also predict, with near certainty, that had a Republican said anything like what Hairy Reed said, he would have immediately packed his bags, turned in his keys, and moved back to his parent’s basement to live the rest of his miserable life in shameful solitude. The networks would have even dared interrupt Oprah in order to air a “breaking news special report”, plastered the remarks 24/7 on all their affiliated channels, and Congress would already be convening special meetings to draw up censure papers by 8:00am Monday morning. I shall enjoy watching the Democrat spin machine kick into full gear for the next few days to defend dear Hairy…that is, if they even bother to air the story at all…
Stimuless
Post Published: 08 January 2010New unemployment numbers out today show the economy is still shedding jobs…another 85k lost in December. Every month another story comes out that shocks, surprises, and stuns “experts” who keep predicting job gains are right around the corner.
Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100108/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_economy
What I find interesting is that the AP news writer totally missed the point of her own story. She writes:
“The economy is in a rough situation,” Labor Secretary Hilda Solis acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press. She said she thinks companies are reluctant to ramp up hiring because they’re waiting to see what new stimulative steps the government might take to provide relief.”
And in a later paragraph:
“But the economy will need to grow faster than that to bring down the unemployment rate. And economists worry that much of the recovery stems from temporary factors, such as government stimulus efforts and businesses rebuilding inventories.”
The ridiculous Labor Secretary – a true believer – thinks businesses are anxiously awaiting for Lord Obama to send them money from the sky before they will hire new workers. She truly believes the private sector is waiting around for Team Obama’s stimulus money to magically appear in their bank account before they take any action to restore the health of their businesses…or in her cryptic words, “provide relief”…what the heck does that even mean?? Team Obama is high on rhetoric and low on substance; every one of them, across-the-board.
The economists (unnamed, of course…fancy friends of the mystical unicorn perhaps?) know that the temporary effects of the stimulus program are only “temporary.” Whatever results are being generated by the stimulus program are NOT WORKING. Taking money from one sector of the economy and moving it to another is not stimulative. Borrowing to pay for this folly is not stimulative. Paying interest on trillions of dollars is not stimulative.
Worse yet, another story documents how billions of dollars are being tagged to zip codes that don’t even exist.
Source: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=121142
In an excerpt for that article:
“An additional $375 million in grants, loans and government contracts was credited with job creation and sent to zip codes that don’t exist, according to Kansas Watchdog. The site also reports the funds created more than 400 jobs at a cost of about $800,000 each.”
The stimulus money created jobs at $800k each…not a very good return on investment. That totals (800,000 x 400 = 320,000,000) 320 Million dollars spent for 400 jobs. That money could have provided 4,000 jobs at $80k per year.
Another example: http://blogs.investors.com/capitalhill/index.php/home/35-politics/1136-obamas-green-jobs-program-135294-per-job
What is my point? GOVERNMENT WASTE.
These jokers can’t run ANYTHING. Cash for Clunkers, stimulus, bailouts, TARP…all huge wastes of money. But…we all know Team Obama will do such a GREAT job with health care. (Wink, wink) What could go wrong? They were “just practicing” with the first couple of Trillion dollars. Now they are stretched out and warmed up and ready to spend the next 13 or 14 Trillion. Seriously…what could go wrong?
Here is an interesting video that you should watch.

The 7 Liberal Sins
Post Published: 30 December 2009The downfall of an individual usually coincides with one or a combination of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. It is my contention that these same sins, when perpetrated by its leaders, can bring down a nation. The current administration along with the Democrat controlled Congress and Senate, and a crash of wooly RINO’s compromises Team Obama. Team Obama has exhibited not one or two of these sins: They have demonstrated all seven.
Lust: A strong inclination, intense longing, or craving.
Team Obama’s intense desire to accumulate government control has surpassed the level of lust. They lust for the voting power they receive by promising nirvana to those who subsist only by taking from others. They intensely long for and crave this power so much that even when poll after poll suggests that the American public is solidly against their stimulus, bail-out, and health care programs, Team Obama does not care…even to the point that they know that they will lose their majority in the 2010 elections, but proceed anyway. Their lust for power is so great, that even with the imminent threat of losing their power; they still succumb to their desire for more power. It is as if this power lust has become a drug to which they cannot overcome their addiction.
Gluttony: Over-indulgence and over-consumption to the point of waste.
This sin defines Team Obama more than any other. They have spent so much money, that in order to continue to fund their addiction, they have to borrow and borrow, and therefore, raise the debt ceiling ad infinitum. The entire country recognizes their stimulus program to be a fraud and a failure; save for a few far left labor unions in Chicago. This fiscal gluttony is the most dangerous and contemptible undertaking by any democratic government in the history of the world.
Greed: An inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves.
While the left attempts to define the financial meltdown as a result of greed on the part of millions of undefined boogeymen, the very definition of greed is displayed by Team Obama’s takeover of private institutions in an attempt to institute socialism. They desire to acquire control of banks, car companies, and the entire health care system. This punitive greed for increased taxation on medicine, the carbon hoax, and even death will destroy the very economic engine that fuels their excessive desires.
Sloth: A disinclination to action or labor.
Much of Team Obama’s platform is to take from one group (producers) and give to other groups (non-producers). By encouraging such action, they are encouraging sloth. During the election, a video emerged that showed Obama supporters fully expected Team Obama to provide for their supporters’ rent, vehicles, fuel, and educations. When the entirety of politician’s platform consists of, “I will give out more free stuff than the other guy,” their entire message is composed of and corrupted by sloth.
Wrath: Strong vengeful anger or indignation; retributory punishment for an offense.
By disallowing any Republican involvement or ideas in crafting the health care takeover, Team Obama was displaying a retributory punishment. Obama himself has made statements similar to, “Why would we allow those who created the problems to help solve the problems,” as if his own party, in control of congress since 2006, had nothing to do with the financial meltdown. From 1954 to 1994, the Democrats ran the country continuously for 40 years, and never solved poverty, crime, or health care. When foolishly blaming the Republicans for singularly creating all of the country’s problems, Obama displayed childish wrath. While a true leader would recognize that both parties share blame for the country’s woes, and would offer, even occasionally, non-partisan solutions, Team Obama seems completely devoid of any ideas that do not involve massive government intervention.
Envy: A painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another.
Team Obama has displayed envy on two fronts. During the campaign, when asked by Joe the Plumber about wealth redistribution, Obama stated the following: “…and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” This is a pure example of Obama’s deeply ingrained ideology that his mission in life is to spread money around more equitably – equitably as defined by Obama. He clearly resents the fact that some people have more than others. Other folks who resented that fact include Mao, Lenin, and Marx.
On the second front, the Democrats truly envy Old Europe’s socialized health care system. They typically overlook the rationing, low quality, and long wait times, and overtly focus only on the universal availability. They clearly envy the mediocrity, staleness, rationed health care, and low productivity of old European economies. At their core, what they most mouth-wateringly envy is the excessive governmental involvement and governmental control of these systems.
Pride: The excessive love of one’s own excellence; having an overly high opinion of one’s self.
The entire leftist/progressive movement shares responsibility for this sin. By placing an almost god-like status onto then candidate Obama (which earned him the nickname “The Messiah”), the left set an impossibly high standard of performance for President Obama. Team Obama was complicit in setting the bar so high by portraying anything they offered – in terms of policy – as the salvation; as the one and only true answer. These hard-core partisans are so overly sure of themselves that they fail to consider any other logic. Cases in point: When Team Obama stated unequivocally that their stimulus program would ensure that the unemployment rate would never exceed 8%. When Team Obama declared the surge in Iraq to be a failure. When Team Obama declared they could cut $500 billion out of Medicare. When Obama himself declared he could bring about world peace by simply sitting down and talking with our enemies. What could possibly display more excessive pride than claiming that the mere presence of one’s self during a negotiation could end centuries old religious disputes?
Usually, the seven deadly sins are used in the context of personal destruction. But by invoking each and every one of the seven deadly sins, the current leaders of our great nation may bring about its demise. The country is in deep trouble with this massive debt, and the only answers Team Obama puts forth involve increasing the debt. Gluttony fed by gluttony. Envy driven by sloth. Greed fueled by partisan lust. Solutions blinded by wrath and pride. This ideological fervor of the extreme far-left is leading us on a path of short-term “fixes” that only create bigger problems in the future.
Our financial system recently had a heart arrhythmia. Much like a belly full of cookie dough ice cream makes us feel good for a while, eating it over and over in excess leads to future health problems. When what is needed most is self discipline, exercise, and a diet… Team Obama’s only solutions consist of government subsidized ice cream. It is time for a fiscal diet – before a truly fatal, if not already imminent, financial infarction occurs.
Taking
Post Published: 25 December 2009As we close out 2009, I look back at the year that cost Americans more money and freedom than any I can remember. The current government has spent more money than any government in the history of the world. Sure, there are those that will argue that it was necessary to avert ‘catastrophe’…to which I call B.S. – we have catastrophe anyway. The stimulus is a failure. Unemployment is at record levels. The banks won’t lend money. And now health care is on the precipice of government control.
2009 was a disaster.
The Democrat Party has shown their true colors. They are not out to help the little guy, the disadvantaged, or the down-trodden. They exist only to increase their own power. What you must understand is one simple truth: The government produces nothing; the government only takes. In order for the government to GIVE something, it first must take something. In order for the government to give stimulus money to a company that builds greener golf carts, it must first take tax dollars from you and from me. In order for Obama to give money to ACORN, he must first take money from you and from me. This is the part Liberals have the most trouble explaining, and why they always try to demonize those who actually pay taxes as “the rich”.
The government does not have the ability to “create” money out of thin air. (Well, they do print money, and borrow from the Chinese…but that is a whole different blog). When the masses clamor for roads, and bridges, and parks, and schools they are ‘agreeing’ in a sense, to spend their money. In this respect, government is the ‘trustee’ of the public bank account. The citizenry elects these trustees every couple of years to safeguard this account.
Think about the following scenario: Phil is in the military and headed to Iraq for a year. Since Phil is to be out of the country, he deposited $15,000.00 into a trust fund and asked his Uncle – Sam – to distribute this money and take care of Phil’s affairs in his absence. Phil gave Sam the power to write checks to pay his monthly expenses, such as his mortgage and car payments. The $15,000.00 should be more than enough to cover Phil’s expenses for the year. When Phil returned, he found the account $30,000.00 over-drawn, and that he actually owed that $30k to local Chinese gangs who loaned Sam the money via direct deposit into his account.
Upon further investigation, Phil also learned that Sam never paid his mortgage or his car payment, and that both were repossessed. Phil found that Sam spent his $15k plus the $30k he borrowed in Phil’s name to fund a children’s orphanage in Sudan, pay for mosquito nets for children in Mozambique, and help pay the mortgages for illegal aliens who lost their jobs in Las Vegas. Sam also donated money to ACORN, SEIU labor union, and a research project to study the smoot fish in Central California.
What should be done with Sam?
Sam’s heart is in the right place; he just wants to solve the world’s problems. Sam cares about people soooooo much. Sam loves to help the less fortunate. Sam is a giver. Sam gives and gives and gives of himself – his time, his ideas, his leadership, his money. Well, except that last one. It wasn’t really Sam’s money to give away. Just because Sam felt he was doing the right thing, and improving the condition of mankind, does not mean it was okay for him to not only spend all of Phil’s money, but to also take out a fraudulent loan in Phil’s name.
If you take money from one person, and hand it to another person, that does not equal nobility…it means you are a thief. When stealing from the rich, to give to the poor – a la Robin Hood – since we were all taught that Robin Hood was the good guy…the message was that it is somehow okay to steal from others, depending upon their level of wealth, as if all wealthy people somehow acquired their wealth in some evil or illegal manner. The Democrat Party is the chief purveyor of this myth, and quite ironically, is largely staffed by multi-millionaire Senators, Congressmen, and Hollywood icons.
Inside Sam’s mind, he was justly improving the world. Inside Phil’s mind, Sam is a thief who had no logical, moral, or ethical foundation to steal from Phil. Politicians have always considered themselves to be smarter and more important than those they represent. Right now, we have too many Sam’s stealing too much money. I pray 2010 is the year the Phil’s return to power.
Cousin Duh
Post Published: 19 December 2009It looks like Hairy Reed has finally purchased (with YOUR money, not his) enough Senators to support his Health Care Reform package. Since nobody actually knows what is in this bill – even and especially those who support it – I can only wait and see what it looks like; AFTER it is voted into law. So much for Obama’s campaign promise about open government. The Obama administration has been more secretive about their operations than Tiger Wood’s caddy.
The Democrat majority rammed through the stimulus spending before anybody could read it, and now Hairy is proposing votes on Christmas Eve – all in an effort to ramrod health care through the legislative process before anybody knows what is happening. To the left, hairy looks like a savior crusading tirelessly for his cause. To me, he just looks like a petty dictator forcing his unpopular agenda on a populace that is solidly against his politics – even in Nevada. Poll after poll shows the country is AGAINST the Democrat plan. Maybe, just maybe, if he would show his plan, and explain his plan in detail, some folks might support him. The problem with ANY politician saying, “Trust me, brothers, and I will do what is best” is that the definition of “best” varies. Hairy, oh Hairy, step from the darkness and into the light !!
http://www.gallup.com/poll/124715/Majority-Americans-Not-Backing-Healthcare-Bill.aspx
Speaking of the stimulus spending, it looks like even that has been politicized. A couple of stories are out showing that the money that has been spent was disproportionally allocated to Democrat controlled districts. In other words, Team Obama is using YOUR money to buy votes and influence for their agenda. It also shows that most of the money is going into the public sector, rather than the private sector where jobs are created. No wonder the stimulus is not working…

And finally, the Chinese are starting to get nervous about how much money we owe them. In a comment by Zhu Min, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China: “…it was inevitable that the dollar would continue to fall in value because Washington continued to issue more Treasuries to finance its deficit spending.” His cousin, DUH, declined comment.

Follow The Money
Post Published: 14 December 2009In one of my recent blogs, I conclusively tied the Global-Warming hoax to the New World Order movement. These carbon trading schemes, i.e. “Cap-n-Trade” are simply a way of taxing every country in the world in order to line the pockets of the already ultra-rich. Remember: They invented the hoax, funded the hoax, advertized and marketed the hoax, and are getting ready to sell and profit from the hoax. Substitute the word “product” in place of the word “hoax” and you have the perfect example of a Marketing Mix. Imagine, being able to sell the air we can’t see, but depend upon for life to exist.
Now we have heard that many of the poorest nations on Earth have recently walked out of the Copenhagen Summit. The MSM will tell you the talks broke down due to the fact that “These poorer nations are simply refusing to cooperate.” More spoon fed garbage from the copy-n-paste news media.
If the news media actually did some reporting, rather than only writing stories that advance their globalist agenda (remember who owns most of the news organizations – extremely rich Liberals) you might actually find out the reason the poor countries are “refusing to cooperate.”
Follow the money trail with me:
What is the “goal” of Kyoto and Copenhagen? To lower emissions of C02 you might say? WRONG. It is to get all the countries of the world to put money into a huge bank account controlled by…you guessed it – The United Nations, The World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. The “rich” countries are supposed to pledge billions of dollars to “help the world implement green technology”…or, in other words, create huge new taxing schemes to siphon-off money. Raise your hands…who thinks the U.N., World Bank, and IMF are reliable, honest administrators of international funds? Anyone…anyone…?
These International Treaties decide who pays what, how much, and when. For example, Sweden will say, “We would like to pledge $5 Million dollars.” Then all the Swedish politicians pat each other on the back, and head out to play golf and eat fancy cheeses, and praise each other for helping save the planet. Did they actually do or accomplish anything? Nope.
They also decide how much other countries MUST pledge…even poor countries who don’t add much C02. When these countries are unable to “pay their part of the accord”…the IMF then lends them money, at high interest rates, in order for them to pay. The term is “Climate Financing” and once the 3rd World countries found out the large percentages they would be responsible for, they all walked out.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/dec/08/copenhagen-climate-summit-disarray-danish-text
If these politicians truly believed that C02 was destroying the planet, would they be chartering private jets to fly around the world, driving limos, and catering these huge meetings? Would Algore’s house guzzle 20 times more energy than the average house? Would hysterical Price Charles tell his countrymen to abandon their cars while he drives around a gas-guzzling Aston Martin?
The fact is, 99.99% of these climate profiteers do not practice what they preach. It is simply a way to scare the uneducated into handing over money to those who would profit from these carbon trading schemes.
I am all for “green” energy and “green” technology…as long as it can compete in the marketplace without adding taxation to an already over-taxed system. If you want to put up solar panels and windmills on your home or business – go for it. If you want to drive a Prius and eat organic foods – great…I am pro-Freedom. However, if you want to impose your “belief system” – in the form of additional taxation based on incomplete, modified, and “tricked” science – now we have a problem.
Watch this AP video:

Notice how they use the term “help” instead of loan…
Notice how they don’t differentiate between “pollution” and “climate change”…
Notice how they portray George Soros as just a nice guy trying to help the poor…
Notice how they show some icicles melting as a subliminal message…
This is another example of the MSM pushing their agenda rather than reporting news. It is so sophomoric in presentation and so obvious that this was simple propaganda, but unfortunately, I suspect most people would have simply digested it as “news” and went about their day…and that is the saddest part of all.
