HERE'S AN IDEA! LET'S RUIN THE WEATHER AND THEN SOAK PEOPLE FOR IT!

Sunny days and mild conditions do not prevail in the thinking of desperate thieves.  Nope.  It's all bad weather from here on out.  Somewhere on any given day on planet earth, there is bound to be a weather event of some sort.  Tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, droughts, lions, tigers and bears, OH MY!!

First, let's see what we already do to protect society from weather disasters.  Measures have been taken by government to mitigate such things.  Dams have been built to prevent and / or control flooding in prone areas.  (This also gave us hydro-electric power and made us all happy to have that!)  Frequently flooded areas were so designated and thereby zoned out of building allowances.  Not that I approve of this, but people who did build in flood prone areas were at their own risk or could buy flood insurance through a government subsidized program, I think.  (Not an expert on this, but I believe that is so.)  Then there is home protection insurance for storm damage.  Free markets allow this insurance.  Then you have government subsidized drought insurance for farmers.  Looking at the Hurricane Sandy situation in the northeast, I see that Washington D.C. and the northeast politicians are screaming and hollering for relief money from our national coffers (in the red and empty) to be coughed up by the billions.  This happens every time there is a big event.  Hurricane Andrew in Florida, Hurricane Katrina on the gulf coast, etc.  One place gets hit and the whole nation pays for it.  Who says we aren't already collectivists?

All that I just described is either preventative or reactionary spending for weather events we lowly citizens think of as part of the risk of living on the planet. We batten down the hatches and / or head for the high ground.  But what if there is more to the story?

IMAGINE CONTROLLING THE WEATHER

What if there is such a thing as a man-made climate / weather crisis? (No I don't mean you personally, but, rather, some folks doing this deliberately.) Stumbled upon this just now and can't help but fall back on my "gods" theory from the previous post.  If "man-made" climate change really means the government is forcing weather events with unintended consequences from experimental programs, then how can you or I be "causing" any of it?  We aren't.

But the government may be.  If you look around the web you can find some serious evidence that they are.  And if they are, we would be paying double taxes for the weather.  Our taxes paying the government  to screw up the weather and then more taxes to recover the damage from the weather the government screwed up.  Now there's an idea...let's make citizens pay to experimentally control the weather, and then let's make them pay when it goes badly.  Good one.  Al Jazeera Gore has to love that! 

Is this good intentions paving the road to hell, AGAIN??  I bet all of these experimental weather projects are just to help us out....right?  Nah.  Nevermind.  Forget I said that.  This isn't like building a dam or rebuilding a city after a natural disaster.  This is creating an unnatural disaster and then grabbing all the guilt and money from the poor suckers who live here to pay for the consequences.

Just so you know something really is going on....Kay Bailey Hutchinson on Weather Modification

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?

Quite a while evidently!

You should read that entire page if you want to see the history of Weather Modification.  Here is a piece of it: 

Thirty years following the creation of the Nation Program in Weather Modification, the US Air Force published a document (“Owning The Weather in 2025” ) establishing that federal agencies involved in the National Weather Modification program are under tacit authority of the Department of Defense.

Owning the Weather in 2025 – Opening Statement:  Current technologies that will mature over the next 30 years will offer anyone who has the necessary resources the ability to modify weather patterns and their corresponding effects, at least on the local scale. Current demographic, economic, and environmental trends will create global stresses that provide the impetus necessary for many countries or groups to turn this weather-modification ability into a capability.
In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending on its interests, at various levels. These levels could include unilateral actions, participation in a security framework such as NATO, membership in an international organization such as the UN, or participation in a coalition. Assuming that in 2025 our national security strategy includes weather-modification, its use in our national military strategy will naturally follow. Besides the significant benefits an operational capability would provide, another motivation to pursue weather-modification is to deter and counter potential adversaries.
In this paper we show that appropriate application of weather-modification can provide battlespace dominance to a degree never before imagined. In the future, such operations will enhance air and space superiority and provide new options for battlespace shaping and battlespace awareness.1 “The technology is there, waiting for us to pull it all together;”2 in 2025 we can “Own the Weather

The bottom line from today's meandering path of research....they break it and we own it.  Can't win for losing, as my Mom used to say.  That is... assuming any of this dastardly stuff is actually doing what they say it can.

I'm so simple minded.  I think about all the years of living, raising children, making a home, running a business, going about my life and not once in all of those years did it cross my mind to see if I might want to pay taxes to manipulate the weather.  Really.  I didn't.  Adapt to it.  Protect from it.  But actually pay people to modify the climate?  And then pay taxes to pay for the modifiers' mistakes?  Nope.  Never crossed my mind.  However, just a few years ago I did read Michael Crichton's book, "State of Fear."  I think he was onto something.

I'm still recovering from the flu....but this took my mind off of it for a couple of hours today.  What's a little flu when someone else is busy rigging the climate on my dime and yours, eh?  At the risk of sounding like a Bible thumping redneck, I'd much rather leave the weather and climate up to God.  Man's attempts at manipulating things hasn't been going so well lately.

WE ALL HAVE OUR ISSUES IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Each of us is carrying around with us some hot button issue that hits at the heart of our core beliefs. Some of these issues are narrow. Some are more broad. A narrow issue might be something like the seat belt laws. But even that represents a broader issue at the heart of liberty. A broad issue might be something like Obamacare. This is a liberty issue on steroids. As the government (at all levels) has become greedier and greedier for power, the issues and laws have become incrementally, but lately expeditiously, more all encompassing and more broad.

One of my hot button issues is the " Anthropogenic Climate Change" hoax. It hits me at so many levels it is hard to describe the magnitude of my frustrations over it. The lie is so stunning as to make one's head spin. That deliberate lie on the basis of false doctrine is enough to send me into hives. The lie, taken to its full extent, presumes to cover every activity known to mankind. For instance, if you try to face down the proponents of light rail on the basis of economics or logic, and you dig deep enough into the proponents' reasons, you find they use "Climate Change" as the reason for light rail. If you try to talk sense into someone who proposes tracking recycling activities, you find that underneath the insanity of that is someone who believes in Anthropogenic Climate Change. (AGW) If you want to buy an appliance for your home, you are faced with salesmen pushing "energy star" products. Why? AGW. If you want to take a drive in your gasoline propelled automobile, you are made to feel guilty for doing so. Why? AGW. Buying groceries? Buy local. Why? AGW. Taking a walk? Better take that walk on a previously privately owned piece of property that has been taken for public use. Why? AGW. Want to live 'til you are ninety? Better not. Why? AGW. Heating your house? Don't do it. Why? AGW. Taking a shower? Better make it short. Why? AGW. Whatever you do is now under the cloud of a lie that has become so prevalent that you can't escape living without it? It is everywhere.

Right now we conservatives are vetting candidates for the Presidential race. Some of us are concerned about foreign engagements. Some of us are concerned about domestic policies, energy policies, immigration policies, and more. Some of us focus on employment. Some of us are concerned about privacy issues. Some of us see the big picture and are trying to find a candidate that solves all of the above.

While the AGW issue does not necessarily cover all of the foreign policy issues, it is used as an excuse for some of our foreign policy initiatives. ( We are using foreign aid to support green energy in other countries.) AGW does come into play in almost all of the other issues. It is that broad. So when Rick Santorum explained that he believes AGW is a hoax, my ears pricked up. Why? Because if he is smart enough to tag that as the lie that it is, and say so definitively, he gets my vote for honesty, If he is brave enough to stare the liars right in the face and say so, he gets my vote for courage. The AGW machine is huge and funded with billions of dollars. Santorum sounds willing to tell them to take a hike, get off the stage, take their lies and shove them where the "sun don't shine." That makes me very happy and relieved. We need leadership who is not afraid to tell the truth to the American people. This made me look at Santorum in a different, more favorable, light.

Romney has hedged on this issue. He knows there are buckets of corporate money to be had in this area. He is not about to face down the liars. In fact, Romney likes to embrace all sides of an issue and then pretend he is an honest broker. He likes having everything both ways. He calls Romneycare a good solution for Massachusetts, for crying out loud. If he doesn't resemble a chameleon, I don't know who does. This conservative writer is not a happy Romney-ite. If we are stuck with Romney, yes I will do what is necessary to get rid of the Communist in the White House and will probably vote for Romney. But not happily. While Romney says he will give waivers to all of the states on Obamacare, he does not address the issue that the funding is still in place and some states will continue on implementing pieces of it that no one wants. And Romney definitely does not stand for the truth on AGW.

(Just to make my readers crazy, I have not given up on Newt Gingrich quite yet either. If he lives up to his record from his Contract with America, I see a lot of hope for his candicacy. But he is going to have to get on board with me on with the AGW issue and show the country that he is willing to stand on his convictions for American freedom. He is the smartest guy in the room, as they say. His grasp of history could make him a great leader. Not just that, he has been around the block. He knows what it is like to play hardball with both internal and external enemies of our way of life. I'm hoping he can show why Romney is not the conservative we need.)

There may be hot button issues in your mind that drive you to one candidate or another. This election season is no easy task for choosing the best Presidential candidate. You just need to know that one of the worst is already sitting in the White House. Getting rid of the O is paramount. Replacing him with a Constitutionalist, someone who tells the truth, and someone with the courage to fight for the truth, would be my hope.

One thing is for certain. This election season is not dull.

CLOUDS OVER MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING

Lately it seems, candidates Perry, Romney, and others are slugging it out over who is a "Man-made Global Warming" believer or not. Politico Reports And I'm glad to see it. I hope they have a huge verbal contest for months over who believes the lies the least. America will be so much the better off for that. If they kill the myth of AGW once and for all, we should all shout hallelujah and grab the nearest bottle of champagne.

AGW is already dead...it is the myth that lives. A really great report to read on this is here: 1000 International Scientists Dissent AGW

One of them is quoted below:
“Any reasonable scientific analysis must conclude the basic theory wrong!!” -- NASA Scientist Dr. Leonard Weinstein who worked 35 years at the NASA Langley Research Center and finished his career there as a Senior Research Scientist. Weinstein is presently a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace.

The truth on this issue is finally out and AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) is now known absolutely to be a scam and a fraud. Yes, some socialist environmentalists are all in a state of denial, clinging to the lie like it is their life-blood. Well..it is their life-blood, so no wonder. And that brings me to the larger problem.

While Al Gore and his UN cronies were busy indoctrinating the world, the U.S. government was busy implementing an entire system of "governance" based on the UN, IPCC, and Gore's lies. O.K. fine, but what does that have to do with you and your life today??

The U.S. government is a powerful money machine. And when laws don't do the dirty work that administrations want, then orders are given and the horizontal system known as federal agencies kick into gear with regulatory powers. Those agencies get busy handing out money for any states, counties, and cities who will do certain things. This is known as the reward system, or also Behavior Modification, in psychiatric circles. "Do what we want you to do and we will hand you money..or gold stars..or let you go to the dance. If you don't do what we want you to do, then Susie (or Jack) will get the money, the stars, and go to the dance."

Now we know that the actions demanded by horizontal agencies are control issues and have nothing to do with AGW. Their premise is blown. They truly can no longer use AGW as an excuse for their insane demands. It's a cloudy day for those environmentalists, non-profits, states, counties, cities, NGO's, and corporate opportunists who have been raking in buckets of money and merrily zipping along modifying everyone's behavior, making everyone poorer and life very uncomfortable for a lot of people. Billions of tax payer dollars have been spent on this lie already, with billions more proposed. Yet, the scam is up and most people know it... finally.

Trouble is, the agencies haven't gotten the memo. We know it, but they don't seem to know it or accept the truth. Not yet. Why would they? The truth doesn't support their actions. Non-profits are still profiting. NGO's are still using the AGW theory to make recommendations and authorizations. Corporations are still advertising their endorsements of "Sustainable Development" and donating money to non-profits in order to get tax deductions is return. The states, counties, and cities are still looking for the handouts, grants, and subsidies. The comprehensive "Vision" plans for these states, counties, and cities have all been written to get the money, gold stars, and the ticket to the dance. These "Vision" plans are ensconced into our entire government structure at this point. And all of them are based on pure evil fiction.

There is no reason to spend gas taxes on "Walkable Cities," greenways, bike lanes and trails, equestrian paths. There is no reason to demand draconian regulations on buildings. There is no reason for a state or federal agency to charge "mitigation" points for development. There is no reason to force people to cluster into "mixed use" neighborhoods or congested cities. There is no reason to take the land next to a creek away from a farmer. There is no reason to ban incandescent light bulbs and force CFL's on the public. There is no reason for RFID chips on recycling bins. There is no reason for "Smart Meters." There is no reason for regulating every industry into a "Climate Change" model of "Sustainable Development." No reason for insanely high café standards for vehicles. No reason for demanding CDL licensing for farm vehicles. No reason to hand out tax money to money grubbing entities who are in the game just for that purpose. No reason for any of it. The entire industry of money grubbing over Climate Change needs to go the same route as "Cap and Trade," and that is gone....outta here!

Today we are watching hurricane Irene come barreling towards the east coastline. Mother Nature is telling us who is in charge of the situation....and it is not us. Clouds have gathered over the lies of "AGW." With any kind of luck, Irene will blow the lies clear off the planet. It's time to dismantle the system of UN, AGW, IPCC schemes that have taken over our entire government structure. A storm can be a cleansing event.

We can do this from the bottom up. All local governments have to do is stop taking the money. All voters have to do is elect those who refuse to buy the lies. And as elections come and go, voters can keep up this process until all of this nonsensical theft of our money and liberties is reduced to the sorry annals of history, just like Stalinist Russia is now a lesson of what not to do to people.

It's a good day. The lies are finally discussed by major presidential candidates. One of them, we don't know yet which, will start the process of ridding the country of the bad weather created by the UN...once and for all. I'm almost ready for the hallelujahs and the champagne.

CONTRIVED GUILT OVER CO2 - THE HITS JUST KEEP COMING

A news release came across my desk this morning making my blood boil yet again.  It reads:

ALERT: It looks like the climate bill debate has already been decided by Washington and voters didn't even have a chance to say "NO!" A staggering $65 billion dollars has been transferred from the private sector to fund the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI.) RGGI is government created entity that is choking companies in the northeast with huge tax increases in the name of the environment. Our tax dollars are funding this secret climate initiative. Soon RGGI will expand to every state and stick you with astronomical energy prices.

If blood boiling is contributing to Anthropogenic Global Warming, I'm guilty as charged.  But AGW does not exist and CO2 is a necessary gas for life.  We are a carbon based planet.  It's a good thing.  Yet, once again we are looking at regulations on the false assertion that man-made  CO2 emissions are wrecking the planet. Years of indoctrinating the public into false guilt over a lie created to benefit more government agencies and bureaucrats is a scourge on America's economic health.    

Like most of you, I have never heard of RGGI.  So I went looking.  I don't know how "secret" it is, since it is right here on the web for all to see.  But, the salaries of the board of RGGI are not public information.  The operating expenses are not public information.  It is a major carbon trading organization set up to regulate energy sources and usage in the northeastern and middle Atlantic states.  The revelation for me is that it exists. Did you know this quasi government entity has been set up to regulate energy sources and usage?   

It is set up as a non-profit carbon (CO2) trading auction house.  A board of directors will be deciding how it is run and who gets what money.  Government grants are in play.  Compliance in the 10 Northeastern and middle Atlantic states is MANDATORY, since they are named as "signatories." Who signed them up?  The governors?  The legislatures?  The feds have just handed over 65 billion of our tax dollars to RGGI.  That's billion with a B.

Supposedly this RGGI implementation is a prelude to Cap and Trade legislation.  According to Ameri-pac, the source of the news release, "The only impact RGGI has made so far is they have raised energy prices and created a slush fund for each member state. What exactly that money is being used for is unclear. Each state is capped on their carbon emissions and taxed if they use them up. RGGI added a 0.9% increase in energy prices in New England."

I haven't yet figured out how a non-profit is able to set up MANDATORY regulations.  This non-profit organization has not been voted into existence by the public.  The RGGI site says, "The Signatory States are collectively developing a draft Model Rule to serve as the framework for the creation of necessary statutory and/or regulatory authority to establish the Program."  In other words, states signing onto this non-profit are in the process of creating legislation to comply with this carbon auction house.  

How long before North Carolina is drawn into another regional RGGI?  Did taxpayers in North Carolina vote to hand over their money to RGGI?  Did our representatives in D.C. vote to do this?  The wholesale joke here is supposedly this might allow some kind of avoidance of the Federal Cap and Trade legislation.  The thinking here is that instead of Federal Cap and Trade, the same will be accomplished in regions.  More likely,  RGGI is laying the groundwork for the Federal Cap and Trade legislation.  Either way, compliance is MANDATORY.

From the RGGI site comes this revelation:  "Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe expressed support yesterday for making electric utilities pay fees for releasing carbon dioxide, giving Senate Democrats a critical Republican supporter in their stalled pursuit of climate legislation. Snowe is highlighting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a 10-state program capping emissions from 233 power plants from Maine to Maryland, as a "template" that could be adopted at the national level..."

So who do you think is going to ultimately pay those fees for releasing carbon dioxide?  The consumer is.  Not only will the consumer pay taxes to pay the Feds for offsetting grants, and pay for implementation of the mandatory regulations, but will be faced with higher utility bills.  And for what?  A problem that doesn't exist.  A lie.  

Liars who benefit from lies will do anything to justify their motives and support their lies with more lies.  Control freaks will do anything to get power and money.  Setting up endless government bureaucracies, non-profits using government money, hiring endless amounts of more government reliant employees, all of it based on lies and misplaced guilt over something that does not exist.  Nice work if you can get it, comes to mind.

The methods of the left have worked in the past, so they just keep it up.  Mass guilt created over elderly retirements became Social Security.  Mass guilt created over elderly medical needs became Medicare.  Mass guilt created over racial problems became Affirmative Action.  All of those guilt ridden programs were based on collective guilt, not individual responsibilities.  And all of this guilt adds up to a lot of money for socialist programs.  Well, they got away with it before, so they are going to get away with it again.  Mass guilt, in this case based on nonsense, is capitalized on by socialists.  Who says socialists aren't capitalists?  They sure know how to capitalize on lies and creating mass guilt.  It's their stock and trade. 

BURT RUTAN - ONE SMART SKEPTIC

One of my favorite sites to watch regarding the AGW nonsense is WATTS UP WITH THAT.com
(There is also a link to Watts Up With That.com in the blog roll on the right side of this blog.)
You can find an article there today about Burt Rutan, who is an aviation engineer / pioneer and has presented a very analytical dissertation on why AGW is all wrong. Here is some of what he has to say:


















I have been beating that drum for years now, both here on the blog and to try to dissuade the Kool-ade drinkers in my realm of friends and acquaintances, so you have no idea how gratifying it is to see a superior mind speak out with truth to combat the overwhelming lies that have plagued us like locusts these past few years. Each day now we have either AGW lies being exposed or real scientists speaking out against AGW theories. And that is why tonight I am going to bed with a smile on my face, even though I know we still have battles ahead to ward off the racketeering from scammers in the corrupt carbon trading power grabs. Sorry to say, a lot of those scammers have infiltrated the U.S. government either by elected positions or by lobbying for grants. These are dangerous days, but now and then we win one. Today was another win. Thank you Burt Rutan!!!
