STOP THE EPA FROM RULING YOUR LIFE

TIP OF THE ICEBERG
The giant sucking sound Ross Perot used to describe as jobs going to Mexico has been replaced by the giant sucking sound of money going straight down the tubes to Global Warming / Climate Change insanity. If we can't stop the insidious greed of carbon traders who are pushing government policies toward the Ice Age, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
You only need to look at Spain to see what Cap and Trade does to an economy. From Dakota Voice.com"The release also says that 9 out of 10 “green jobs” created in Spain over the last decade are now gone. What’s more, Spain spent $753,778 to create each job, including subsidies of $1,319,783 per wind industry job."
Note that Spain is one of four countries in the European Union that is now nearly insolvent and is at the brink much as Greece is right now. The Cap and Trade model in the EU, which is rife with fraud, is what some of our government officials are pushing us toward, most of all the Community Organizer in Chief who has picked global socialists and a few outright communists for his top ranks.
I hear they are diverting the mission of NASA from space exploration to climate information mining. Hmmmmm....
And the government has recently announced a new climate agency headquartered not far from here in Ashville, NC. This agency is part of NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Their mission is to warn us of global warming disasters that will take place centuries from now and make sure we think it will have been all of our fault.
Soooo....let's fraudulently scam the public and take masses of money from the taxpayers to pay for .....??? Job losses. Higher energy prices. Not harvesting fossil fuels. Shutting down farming in the San Joaquin to save a half inch fish. Turning over sovereignty of our National Parks to the UN under some Biosphere project. Building windmills that produce miniscule energy, cost more to build, blight the landscape, chop up raptors, and are inefficient sources, etc. Shut down a sugar plantation, costing us over a billion dollars in Florida, to save some very prolific alligators, so we can import more sugar rather than grow it here. Growing corn for ethanol that makes food prices higher which makes it harder for the poor to eat.
From the Pork Report:
"More than three-quarters of the $2 billion in federal stimulus funds intended to create green-energy jobs in the U.S. has gone to foreign-owned companies
Despite millions in federal tax credits, wind-equipment manufacturers cut thousands of jobs in the U.S. last year"
And this news flash:
WASHINGTON — "Despite the Obama administration’s efforts to create jobs making wind turbines in America, some companies say that sluggish demand for wind energy is holding them back.The U.S. installed more wind power last year — 9,900 megawatts, or enough to power 2.4 million homes — than in any other year.
The growth in wind farm installations in the U.S. was a product of federal stimulus spending. Nonetheless, wind equipment manufacturers cut as many as 2,000 jobs last year. According to the American Wind Energy Association , a trade group, the drop in U.S. jobs is due, in part, to the lack of a long-term national policy that would require a certain percentage of American electricity to come from renewable sources."
I have a suggestion. Let's take all of the billions of dollars out of the climate / "Green" insanity and pay off some debts to China. What do you say???
And I wish that Washington DC would stay snowed under and out of business for about 3 more years 'til we can take the ship of state back from the Captains of the Titanic.

Magical Mystery Tour
An acquaintance of mine has asked me over and over, "Why would anyone in the government be taking these steps on energy if it wasn't the right thing to do?" Further she asks, "If this global warming/climate change isn't true, then why are so many people on board with it?" "It must be true!" she insists. "All of these smart government officials are doing this for our own good!" "They're saving our planet!"
But there is a reason magic is included in a category called the "Dark Arts."I am astounded at how so many magicians have made it into our government. Since the early 1900's magician politicians have been scamming the American people using taxpayer money to benefit themselves. In the 1920's "progressive" magicians brought us into the age of the government nanny state. In the 1960's I remember the rallying cries were against the Industrial Military Complex. Supposedly those were the "bad guys." As usual the dissidents were the "progressive liberal democrat socialists" who just hated the military, the supporting industries and, I guess the 'complex' part was the government which enabled the former. The irony there is that the "progressive liberal democrat socialists" were all about gaining government control over everything they were ranting against. The environmentalists in those days were ranting about an impending ice age and warning we were doomed.
The latest group of magicians is taking the "Dark Arts" to a whole new level. While Bernie Madoff sits in prison awaiting trial, Nancy Pelosi sits atop the House of Representatives while profiting from T.Boone Pickens' Wind Farm scams and using the power of her position to grease the skids for her $100,000.00 to $250,000.00 investment in Picken's Clean Energy Fuels Corporation. Pickens' wind farm schemes depend on permanent government subsidies and the use of imminent domain to access land. Nancy is refusing to allow new drilling for oil and gas, new nuclear plants, new clean coal plants. At the same time, she is funneling your tax money into "green" initiatives to benefit her own investments. Smiling all the time, she proudly announces, "We're saving the planet!" Slight of hand? Or conflict of interest? Pretty nice trick, eh?
While you are worrying about how to recycle mercury based fluorescent lightbulbs made in China, Al Gore is raking in millions from his businesses based on carbon offsets. While Hank Paulson, former Sec. of the Treasury, convinced the entire government to borrow trillions of your taxes to prop up Wall St. and the banks, he is making money out of Gore's magic trick, too. Paulson, along with several Goldman Sach's cronies, is one of Gore's investors in Generation Investment Management, Inc., an investment group focused on Climate Change / Carbon Credit Trading firms. I guess Paulson would not want Goldman Sach's to fail, now would he?
"Suspend belief," the magicians tell you. "Believe us!" "We know what's best for you!" Well, science has proven that Global Warming is a hoax. The facts are that Pickens' wind farms use more energy to produce the equipment than they provide, take up huge swaths of land, kill migratory birds, not to mention the visual blight they create. Facts are that ethanol uses more energy to produce than it provides, and creates more pollution, not to mention the food shortages it creates. Facts are that Compact Fluorescent lightbulbs are lousy light and create mercury pollution in our environment. Facts are that the world has been cooling since 1998. Facts are that there has been no nuclear power plant accident in this country for thirty years and even then there was no exposure and no one hurt. Fact is that carbon dioxide is necessary for life to exist and is great for plants. I could go on with facts of this sort for pages and pages, but, if you love magic, would you listen?
The latest magic trick is this: Our magicians are finding out that not all of the audience is hypnotized and not buying the illusions. So to work around this obstacle, the magicians are bringing in the big dogs, i.e. the U.N. Obama's Energy Czar magician, Carol Browner, is going to the U.N. for a global mandate on Carbon offsets. (Browner is a former member of Socialist International, one of George Soros' many anti-American groups.) By going to the U.N. to set up an environmental treaty which Obama will sign, the American people will have no say in the matter, no votes through Congress, no possible chance to stop Gore, Pickens, Pelosi, Paulson, Browner, Soros, and their buddies from their collusion to steal more economic liberty from Americans. American sovereignty circumvented by magicians. America's children sold off to the magic tricks of some mighty clever socialists using our government and global pressure to take their future away.
Welcome to the Magical Mystery Tour. You might want to take a look behind the curtain.
