Frauds are US

If you listen to the usual suspects in the media, Cap and Trade legislation is virtually dead. But because of the conspiratorial nature of this malAdministration, we must assume it is only flying below the radar, and will surely come back to haunt us with it's oppressive mandates and skyrocketing prices. Thanks to the hard work of Glenn Beck and his team, it has been learned that if Cap and Trade is eventually passed, it will be the signal that Al Gore, Franklin Raines, and a host of co-conspirators - including Barack Obama - will have foisted what will be the most profitable scam in human history upon the American people, with potential ill-gotten gains approaching an estimated $12 trillion. 

If only the likely revenues of that mega-fraud - essentially nothing more than trading for air, which would do absolutely nothing to improve air quality - would be used to pay off the national debt it might be excused. But of course it won't; it will be used largely to line the pockets of the investors and further the schemes of those who aim to conquer the world, all at the expense of virtually every working human, who will wind up paying more for virtually every human activity. Other than Beck and a few conservative bloggers who have echoed him such as Investor's Business Daily, few other news organization (ironically including Fox News) have even mentioned the mega-scam involving the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX).

Speaking of the ubiquitous Glenn Beck, on Wednesday he had a live audience of legal immigrants who helped him give a passionate and well-informed response to the debate over the Arizona anti-illegals law. That law, sparked by a need to defend their state in the absence of federal enforcement of existing laws, is being used as a battering ram by the radical Left, Mexican infiltrators and agents provocateurs in yet another push to weaken our national unity and security. 

The Mexicans have never gotten over their loss of the Southwestern territory, and the Hispano-racists (i.e., La Raza, etc.) aim to reconquer it through whatever means necessary. Why, after turning their own country into one of the world's largest pockets of corruption, they feel it necessary to add more space to their nationalized criminal syndicate, I don't know. Human nature, I guess.  It's all the more baffling since they could enjoy nearly unfettered access without resorting to their clownish cavorting and violent protests, and also since we're rapidly becoming nearly as corrupt as they are anyway, it seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.

This is no drill!  In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster - or rather, a week after the fact - President Obama suspended new offshore drilling, as though that will somehow prevent another accident(?) from ocurring.  The only thing the freeze seems to accomplish is to give Obama justification to play to his environut lobbyists, while lamely mouthing to the public how much he "really wants to continue to seek energy self-sufficiency."  Pardon my skepticism.

Ignore that man behind the curtain!  Glenn Beck uncovered another very important piece of the puzzle involving the cabal currently overthrowing over the world's oldest constitutional republic (uh...that would be the United States...of America). He's calling Professor Joel Rogers "the man behind Obama," and he may well be the penultimate puppet-master, if not the man at the top.  Rogers is the brain behind the current socialist/Progressive economic model, utilizing the Cloward-Pivin strategy to its fullest potential and unifying many of the various organizations and institutions that have pledged themselves to the overthrow of the United States.

SEAL of approval!  US Navy SEAL Matthew McCabe is the third and last of three warriors to be cleared of all charges that he physically abused Ahmed Hashim Abed, a terrorist alleged of being the leader of an incident in Fallujah, Iraq, where four US contractors were ambushed and killed, dragged from their vehicle, and their bodies burned and hung from a bridge.  After his capture, Abed claimed that McCabe and fellow SEALs Julio Huertas and Jonathan O'Keefe beat him up while in custody. Three subsequent courts-martial cleared the three sailors after Abed's story fell apart.

I'm delighted in the outcome because it demonstrates that there is still a smidgeon of actual justice left in America; in a military courtroom, of all places. If this case had gone the social justice route that our civilian courts, government, and many churches seem to be pushing these day, the verdict probably would have gone the other way, simply because it would be portrayed as a case of white American military 'oppressing' a poor, misguided Muslim. That's not to say I'd be OK if they'd actually tortured Abed or subjected him to any kind of 'street justice' along the lines that he has been accused of dishing out to others. No...'course not.

Joke of the week.  In what I can only describe as irony, Vladimir Putin blew off Obama's offer to send Joe Biden to Moscow to attend the annual communist 'May Day' (May 1st) military parade and celebrations. It appears that Obama just couldn't make it for the big Commu-fest, and wanted Biden to take his place among other socialist (at least, they're honest about it) demogogues. Putin, apparently unable to resist the urge to let Obama know how he feels about our tyrant-boot-licking leader, snubbed the offer as thoroughly as Obama has done to virtually every real ally the US has. Wow; more 'justice' at work!

Strategy for failure

On Tuesday, speaking from West Point, the "Silver-tongued Devil" himself, Barack Obama, once again showed his talent for talking out of both sides of his mouth. He opened his speech by reiterating that our reason for the war was "19 men [who] hijacked four airplanes and used them to murder nearly 3,000 people." He never referred to them as terrorists; merely as "extremists who have distorted and defiled Islam, one of the worlds great religions." He equivocates for a few 'misguided Muslims' for mass murder, yet for nearly a year in his travels around the world he has been bowing and scraping before foreign world leaders, apologizing to everyone except the American people, and implicitly blaming the US for all the world's problems.

But the bloom is coming off the rose. All things considered, the world is not greatly impressed with him as either a president or a commander-in-chief. If anything, Obama has become a behind-the-scenes laughing-stock, at least to other world leaders.

As I watched the speech, I was more intent on the faces of the cadets. These are the young men and women who will be subject to the orders of the president. They and the soldiers in their charge will be the ones who suffer and die when grand strategies fail. I saw real concern as Obama told a worldwide audience what amounted to our plans for not fighting to win over the terrorist elements.

In the larger picture, the president pleased no one but the non-thinkers. Even megalomaniacial leftists like Chris Matthews, who called West Point "the enemy camp," criticized Obama. "The president said tonight that we're fighting in Afghanistan because al Qaeda is in Pakistan," he said. "Is that what this is all about? Is that why we're fighting and some are dying in Afghanistan?"

General McChrystal asked for 80,000 troops, but said he would make due with 40,00. What he got from the president was a commitment for only 30,000 troops; not enough to win against a guerilla force in a rugged country the size of Afghanistan; but just about enough to fight a war of attrition with an implacable foe that is willing to sacrifice innocent lives - or their own (except their leaders) - for nothing. On the other hand, our overly-sensitive rules of engagement put our troops at increased risk, giving the enemy an advantage over us.

As if to add injury to insult, Obama also told our enemies how long they need to stay low before we pull out - which is coincidentally around the same time as the next primary election (and is also when most of the remaining stimulus funds is expected to be handed out - yet another incredible coincidence, eh?). He even gave them our proposed operating budget for the war, which indicates the measure of our resolve and the limits of our will to (not) win.

Does anyone remember a little place called Vietnam? We have met the enemy, and he is our leader.

Global hype. Notwithstanding Al Gore's legacy of lies and his totally undeserved Oscar for Best Propaganda Piece and Nobel Prize for Global BS, and after years of embarrassments such as global warming conferences being held during blizzards and a population explosion among polar bears, the truth about this worldwide scam is finally leaking like an open porthole in the Titanic. The discovery that raw climate data was intentionally thrown away, and a number of e-mails in which global warming advocates write about concealing unfavorable evidence are exposing the bogus pseudo-science that is being pedalled as political necessity. Addtionally Gore himself has faced a rising tide of discontent during his most recent book tour, as critics brave his bodyguards to get answers to simple questions.

The scale of the swindle is mind-boggling when you consider it is being used as the framework to restructure the entire Western world and to transfer the bulk of what wealth we have left to those with an even greater propensity to squander it than our own congress. The swindlers will reap in huge profits, and America will continue its descent to third-world status.

Actually, the Earth has been in a cooling trend for nearly a decade. Nevertheless, an estimated 16,500 UN delegates, activists and reporters is set to descend upon Copenhagen this month for the UN Climate Conference 2009, leaving a cloud of CO2 emissions in their hypocritical wake. The primary intent of the summit is to formulate what amounts to a global tax on American productivity and life in general (because it would hike the cost of everything). God help us if Obama signs anything other than another expensive restaurant bill.

Fed up. You can tell it's bad when avowed socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT) agrees with a number of Republicans in trying to hold up Ben Bernanke's reappointment as head of the Federal Reserve Board.

The Fed has the legal (cringe when you hear that word; not every law is moral or good) authority to literally create fiat (false) money out of thin air merely by adding numbers to a favored account.

Case in point: During the stimulus package giveaway, the Fed padded AIG's books, simply by adding zeros to their ledger. Keep in mind that although it is intimately entwined with the government, the Fed is not a government agency but a privately-owned financial conglomerate that has controlled the US economy since its inception in 1913. Now AIG is paying back the Fed with the profits from selling off two of its subsidiaries - to the Fed! Thus a huge fortune is made by investing in thin air, but the economy suffers because the dollar is devalued in the exchange, meaning that everything costs more. The top execs at the Fed are mostly mega-million and -billionaires. Meanwhile, businesses close down and millions of American citizens are out of work, with no real good news forthcoming.

If the truth be told, the Fed is, at its core, perhaps the greatest con game ever foisted upon a people. In 1913 the government granted it the authority to print money and set interest rates for selling that money to banks. Those interest rates affect our credit and debt. The ultra-rich get richer, and the rest of us go deeper in debt. But this isn't about class envy, it's about institutionalized dishonesty. The Fed - which has never been audited - should be abolished.

'Net threat. While our attention is focussed on healthcare, the war, and Tiger Woods' unexplainably stupid indiscretions, a bill has been silently wending its way through the US Senate. The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (S. 773) threatens to give the government unprecedented power over internet communications; including the authority to shut it down upon a declared "emergency". It may come as no surprise that the bill was authored by that globalist extraordinaire, Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV).

Each new propsal to limit our freedom for the sake of "security" moves us closer to slavery. And yet, the majority of Americans are content to sit silently on the sidelines, as though nothing will interrupt their "lives of quiet desperation". Alas, Babylon.
