The Environmental Protection Agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the clean air act.

It looks like the White House is not going to let the normal legislative process stand in its way of protecting the public from noxious greenhouse gases. The Congress will not be allowed to stand in the way! It is nice to know that someone is watching out for our welfare. I read this interesting new article yesterday.
The Environmental Protection Agency took a major step Monday toward regulating greenhouses gases, concluding that climate changing pollution threatens the public health and the environment.[...] The EPA said that the scientific evidence surrounding climate change clearly shows that greenhouse gases "threaten the public health and welfare of the American people" and that the pollutants — mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels — should be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
If the EPA goes through with this, what will this mean? It means that the government will have the power to regulate carbon emissions without having to pass legislation. Every form of economic activity that occurs in our carbon-based economy involves the burning of fossil fuels. This is a very clever way for the government to hide its goal of regulating every aspect of the economy and our lives, and this goal is being pursued on a global level. Charles Krauthammer states that this move by the EPA is blackmail and that environmentalism is the new socialism. This is a manufactured crises used to scare people into accepting more government --Very funny! I saw it on T.V. It is stupid. It might not be real. If it is, then WOW. (Where have I heard this before?)

Or as an Obama administration offical said,
If you don't pass this legislation, then ... the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area, the official said. And it is not going to be able to regulate on a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty.
"Regulate in a command-and-control way," What does that sound like to you? Obviously, this adminstration is serious about pursuing its goals of increasing the size and the scope of government into the private sector by using this global warming scam. Who knew the clean air act would be used for such purposes? Come on, clean air does not sound that nefarious.

In light of the Climate Gate scandal these people don't plan to reevaluate their stance on the global warming issue. Why? Because the various governments are using bad science and lies to pass and push through their agenda of wealth redistribution and an overall larger role of government in the private sector. Not to mention their desire to create a global governing body to enforce these climate rules.

This is big news, as is this whole Climate Gate scandal. This clearly illustrates how the governments of the world are trying to expand their power and size under the disguise of lies and by creating new regulations that would regulate every form of economic activity by regulating a substance that is essential to our economy--our economy is based on the use of fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases.

Is this some conspiracy, some pie-in-the-sky-amazingly-hard thing to believe? No, the founding fathers realized that due to human nature, governments would naturally try to increase their size and power. Human nature does not change nor can it be reshaped--like communism has tried to do. This is why the founding fathers created checks and balances in our government. Once one gets power they want more of it. As Lord Acton stated, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Alexander Frazier Tytler states this about the different stages of a Democracy, which is what America has deteriorated into.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy[Jeff, this is happening now}, always followed by dictatorship[Jeff, a soft, mild one]. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: "from bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

America is at the point of going from dependency back into bondage--in this case, dependent on the government to allow and bless any form of economic activity. America's fate is not that hard to comprehend. The fate of a free society is revealed by history and was foreseen by many people that looked at this history combined with a knowledge of human nature. The people will demand change in the leadership of our country(Obama's approval number are very low for this point in his Presidency), but not before a system has been set up and our course has been set.

This attempt by tyranny to expand its control over people by claiming to be watching out and providing for our "general welfare" was foreseen by Tocqueville. This is a must read to understand how our Country is being transformed into a soft and mild tyrannical form of government through global warming and health care. One can not be fooled by all the good intentions and feel-good-emotional hype that surrounds these arguments. (There are other ways to get that tingly feeling running up your spine.)

This is America and it will always exist as a free country, right? Things will always be the same as they were when one popped their head out into this world. Once people allow their freedoms to be taken away, it requires a lot of time and a lot of blood to gain it back. What awaits us is not all that unknowable or secret or amazing, if one knows how to look at current events from a historical perspective. If one knows the general direction we are headed, they can set themselves up to prosper. While this climate conference and the overall global warming debate will not led to America loosing its freedoms over night nor will it set the Country's fate in stone, it does illustrate that there is an attempt to fundamentally transform America and attack freedom, and whatever comes out of Copenhagen will led America and the world closer to universal tyranny. It is all under the guise of solving a non-existent crises, so what good can come out of it? This is all revealed out in the open to anyone who is looking and able and willingly to comprehend what is occurring.

What is the goal of the climate conference that will be held in Copenhagen?

Here is a prime example of how the manufactured "climate crises" is being used for a smoke screen and a means to gain the support of people to achieve the goal of growing the size and power of government. This article is from World Net Daily,
A former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher says the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government."[...] 'I read that treaty and what it says is this: that a world government is going to be created. The word 'government' actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity.'
I have not done any research on this Monckton guy; so I can not say that he is a credible source, but I do agree with his views on global warming not being caused by man. I don't know about some one-world government, but one of the purpose of this conference is clearly to grow the size and power of the various governments of the world and to possibly create some international regulatory body. I think there is enough scientific evidence to prove that man is not causing climate change. So then why do we need new legislation and new government powers to combat a non-existent crises? This is hard to figure out. I might have the answer in the next couple of years. It is sad that there are too many people that just don't think critically. Another purpose of this conference sounds very similar to President Obama's desire to spreading the wealth around.

'"The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to Third World countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, 'climate debt' – because we've been burning CO2 and they haven't. We've been screwing up the climate and they haven't. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government is enforcement.'"[...] "Moncton is a well-known critic of the theory of anthropogenic causes for global warming who has argued repeatedly that global warming hysteria is an ideological position of the political Left advanced in the interest of imposing global taxes on the United States in the pursuit of international control of the U.S. economy under a one-world government to be administered by the U.N."[...]'So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free,' he continued. 'But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever.'
How is this allowed to come about? By creating a fake crises that requires more government to advert disaster. This also sounds very familiar to our President's views on spreading the wealth around.

Why do the governments of the world need to increase their size and create more regulations that increases the power of these governments to solve an obviously non-existent crises? Are there really that many dumb people? I think most of the people who ascribe to the belief that man is causing the climate to change are just blindly following bad science, but those at the top are using the climate crises as a way to gain support for increasing the size and power of the various governments of the world and to enact a globalist agenda. Combating climate change also means that America will be weakened. Maybe this one-world government sounds stupid, but combating climate changes is definitly not about the climate. What is it being used for then?

A prime example of how the Environmental Movement sacrifices human prosperity and livelihood for the environment.



An important aspect of the EM is that it is a new take on the old pagan religions that sacrificed humans to please mother nature--a new take on sacrificing humans on an altar. As compared with other results of the EM policies, this is a mild issue where peoples' livelihood are destroyed, not actual human lives as in several other cases--DDT--that I plan to illustrate throughout several post. This time sacrifices must be made in the name of a fish. Remember, these peoples' means of surviving and making a living must be destroyed to save a fish.

This is from the Hot Air blog: "That would be the San Joaquin Valley in California, one of the most prolific agricultural areas in the country — or at least it was, until environmentalists turned off the water. Did they need it for people in response to the drought? No, because the water that would normally flow to the SJV is getting directed out to sea instead. Environmentalists have chosen to bankrupt an entire ecosystem of farms in favor of protecting the Delta smelt, a three-inch fish that neither feeds people nor eliminates pests from the water system." Human prosperity needs to be sacrificed for a little fish. I would really like to understand the EM reasoning behind this. How do they explain this?

The EM is a medium through which the government is bringing about a transformation of our country and is destructive to human life. When you look at the movement, it is a new take on the old pagan religions that sacrificed humans. As Peter Schwartz stated in _The Philosophy of Privation_, "Environmentalism amounts to a modern, secularized form of religion. It is an ideology that instructs man to prostrate himself before a superior, ineffable force. It is an ideology that declares the human mind too feeble to grasp the complexities of an inscrutable world, or 'ecosystem.' It is an ideology propelled by the desire to have man subordinate himself to a hollowed power--a power which must be placated and paid homage, if man is to receive the gracious bounty upon which his existence depends." When we look at the modern day EM, we can see that this is not some over stated statement. It goes back to the old say that there is nothing new under the sun. By supporting environmentalism, one is supporting a movement that is helping to destroy mankind.

The FCC diversity chief and his ties to Saul Alinsky and his Marxist language.

This somewhat follows after the last post by Bud-D. "Inspired by Saul Alinsky[...]Mark Lloyd, chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), called for a “confrontational movement” to combat what he claimed was control of the media by international corporations and to re-establish the regulatory power of government through robust public broadcasting and a more powerful FCC." I like that name diversity chief. Using diversity as a way to increase government's influence. The evil international businesses. Where have I heard the demonization of businesses before?...Karl Marx.

"In the book, Lloyd also said that public broadcasting should be funded through new license fees charged to the nation’s private radio and television broadcasters, and that new regulatory fees should be used to fund eight new regional FCC offices.[...]Corporate liberty has overwhelmed citizen equality,” this sounds like a communist talking.

“If our republican form of government is perishing because communications – the infrastructure of that republic – is under the yoke of international business how, at last, do we save it?” he asks. “We must build a confrontational movement to reclaim our democracy, a movement committed to active and sustained protest against the present order.” Interesting that he states republican form of government. The yoke of international business? What does he mean by a "confrontational movement to reclaim our democracy"? What about the yoke of international government? Wait, power is good when in the hands of the government but bad when in the hands of private businesses.

An interesting statement that this guy said in 2008, "State radio in Rwanda was taken over by one tribe one group and they began to put out propaganda, so that the Tutsis were targeted and what resulted from the fact that state radio was able to do that essentially mass genocide in Rwanda. But the state for this particular tribe which controlled the radio very purposefully to make sure{?unintelligible) there was media and social change. In Venezuela, with Chavez, really an incredible revolution-a dramatic revolution- to begin to put in place saying that we're going to have impact on the people of Venezuela the property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled work frankly with folks here in the U.S. government-worked to oust him and came back and had another revolution. and Chavez then started to take the media very seriously in this country." By Chavez taking the media very seriously, was he saying Chavez should take the media of Venezuela over? Is he hinting that the U.S. government should take the media over? What did Lloyd mean when he stated that the revolution in Venezuela was incredible? This shows an affinity for Chavez and his socialist/communist government.

Another good article. "Federal Communications Commission Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd called on fellow liberals to follow the model of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and challenge conservative media moguls and station owners, particularly figures such as Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch, and “a pro-big business Supreme Court aligned” with them.[...] Lloyd highlights one Roosevelt tactic in particular, using the Justice Department to take his conservative media critics to court on anti-trust grounds."

This guy was put in a position of power in our government by President Obama. This guy will be leading the charge under the banner of diversity to curtail freedom of speech. It is amazing that there are so many people that Obama has put in positions of power in our government that hold these beliefs.

A good video clearly illustrating President Obama lying about the purposes of Health care and why people can not comprehend tyranny.


I got this video from Hotair.com. The video clearly shows the main goal of health care reform--creating a single payer system. Obama stated that this is not his purpose, but from his and other Democrats earlier remarks, we can clearly see that he is lying. They have to hid their real intentions because they know they won't get support for this bill otherwise.

Health care reform seems to becoming unpopular, as shown by public reaction. There is also a poster in LA of Obama. There is some hope that people turning against the "one". From the public reaction, I think that health care reform will not pass in its current form but maybe in a watered downed version.

There are people in this country who are trying to remake American into some centrally planned country. Obama was honest when he said that he wanted to fundamentally change America. Too bad people were caught up in their emotions and not able to think about this statement. Most people are naive and just can not comprehend that there are people who want to control them. People think that everybody else operates according to the same thinking as they do. This prevents them from realizing this. Rush Limbaugh has a good statement about health care reform stating why people can not comprehend this: "They're going to control family planning... But, it's about controlling everything. People just can't understand. Americans, the average American, you tell 'em, for example, this guy's[Obama] purposely destroying the US economy. That doesn't compute. People do not understand. They can't think that there are Americans who would do that. They can't think they've actually elected a president and have members of Congress who genuinely want to deny the basic liberty and freedom our US Constitution and other founding documents have proclaimed."

"When I have people tell me this, I point out world history to them. The history of the world is tyranny. Human beings are viciously mean to each other. The history of humanity is tyranny, torture, dungeons, dictatorship, fear. The exception has been the United States of America. That's the whole thing behind American exceptionalism. The exception to human nature and world human history is the United States of America. The people that want to control others so that they have more power, the people that want to limit liberty around the world, they're all over the place. They've always been all over the place. They surround us. That's why we're despised and feared. We represent the only opposition to them, and they're everywhere. They're in the Middle East. They're in Europe. They're in Asia. They're in South America, Central America. They're all over. We are surrounded. And now we have a president who's sympathetic to those people and is engaging in policies that will replicate the same kind of loss of freedom and liberty that has been the traditional lot in life for the average human being since the beginning of time."

"So you tell the American people, "Okay, they've finally done it, these statists, these tyrannical types, they've finally gotten their foot in the door of the United States of America," they have. And this has been something that a lot of Americans have been fighting for a hundred years, these people have been around, we fought it 50 years, certainly. But they never stop. The quest for this kind of power is insatiable. These people are no different than whoever the bad guy was in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Sauron. No matter what they get they're never happy. They have an addiction that can never be satisfied or quelled, by definition addictions can't. And most Americans with a historical perspective that begins with the day that they were born just can't fathom the idea that people of the likes of people in world history who have been tyrannical dictators and torturers and murderers, that doesn't happen, that's what's America. Well, people have been trying to create this in America for a long, long, long, long time."

Hopefully Americans will wake up and realize what is happening. Most won't until their lives are directly affected. I think most of this will be defeated, but those that want power will never stop--look back at world history. There is a war going on between freedom and tyranny that is as old as humanity. You can trace it back to its fundamental generalization if you want. It is time for people to wake up!

Cap and Trade and the economic impact.


The large Climate bill called the Waxman-Markey climate bill and Cap and Trade will probably pass the house soon. This bill is aimed at solving a manufactured crises. (Read my post about environmentalism.) It will have a great impact on the economy after 2020 when most of this bill takes effect. Since most of the effects of this bill will take place after 2020, it will be a ticking time bomb that coupled with the fact that most of the effects of the huge deficits the government is running up will be take place around this same time, these two things could completely wreck the economy. This bill will have very little impact on the environment, but it will have a great impact on the economy.

Energy is essential to every form of economic activity. Without fossil fuels our way of life would stop and we would go back to the stone age. If government can control energy and how it is used, the government will basically be controlling all economic activity and have a leash around the neck of every American business and every American.

This bill will Charge companies money for each ton of carbon emission a company emit. Basically, the bill is a huge tax increase that will increase the power and size of government; and at the same time, it will kill jobs and economic prosperity. This bill, according to The Heritage Foundation, will cost the average American family 3000 dollars a year. (These links from Heritage are short and have a lot of facts about this bill.) The government's estimates are much lower; but as the this article points out, is inaccurate. "Even as Democrats have promised that this cap-and-trade legislation won't pinch wallets, behind the scenes they've acknowledged the energy price tsunami that is coming."

According to the WSJ: "Americans should know that those Members who vote for this climate bill are voting for what is likely to be the biggest tax in American history. Even Democrats can't repeal that reality." The government is increasing its size and power under the smoke screen of saving the environment and taking care of us. While the impact of this bill and the huge deficits won't be felt for at least a decade, it is worth keeping up on and it is worth being aware of the potential economic impact that is coming. With Cap and Trade and the government taking over the Auto, health care, and banking industry; the government is rapidly gaining control of every apparatus necessary to control America and every single part of our lives. When people wake up and wonder where their freedoms went, if they ever do, they will be looking back at this time in history as the main point of decline. This is a pivotal point in American history: the foundation for a big government is being laid, and the system of control necessary for it is being setup. Hopefully, this bill won't pass and people will wake up.
