John Holdren, Obama’s Science Advisor, is urging the public to stop using the phrase  “global warming” and replace it with “global climate disruption.” [Smart move for the mythmakers, because the reality of global cooling becomes more evident with each passing month, and the phrase “climate change” is not scary enough to justify the massive taxes and government controls these people have in mind.]

In Louisiana, just days after a tide of BP oil hits the waterways, there is the largest fish kill in living memory, including a dead whale. The Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife says there is no connection to the oil spill. [Is that an insult to our intelligence or what!]

US: Home seizures reach record for third time in 5 months, while government continues trying to stimulate housing prices by preventing a much needed price correction. [Until this price correction occurs, the housing market will not recover – except through the mirage of inflation. In that case, home prices may rise again, but the purchasing value of the dollar will fall even more, thus canceling any real gain.]

There still is a way to stop Obama Care. Even though the Senate has defended the program, it cannot be implemented without funding. It takes both houses to approve funding. This offers one more shot at defeating the whole program if the majority of the House of Representatives will stand firm. Daily Caller posted 2010 Sep 14 (Cached)
Find out if your candidate endorses “De-Funding” ObamaCare. [Beware: This has all the earmarks of being a front for the Republican Party, which cannot be trusted to stand firm. Republican leadership will give lip service to repealing Obama Care but, in the end, will sell out and only eliminate a few of its features, leaving the structure in place for expansion later. Nevertheless, the concept is good. Just don’t be fooled by professional liars.] DeFundIt.org

US: The annual Military Appropriations Bill is up for vote and is assured of passing. No one dares to oppose it lest they be called unpatriotic. So politicians try to attach unpopular bills to it. Senator Harry Reid wants to attach two such measures: one to allow foreign students to immigrate if they will serve in the military and the other is to eliminate the present prohibition against open homosexuals serving in the military.

Leading international think tank for military affairs says the threat from al-Qaeda and the Taliban has been over exaggerated.

Scientists, corporations, and governments are proposing to engineer world climate to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere and reflect the Sun’s heat back into space. This includes everything from simulating volcanic eruptions to aerosol spraying of the sky. [Actually, spraying of the stratosphere has been going on for over a decade with disastrous effects to the environment and human health.

Cuba: Communist regime employs 95% of the workforce but now is forced to lay off 10% (half a million) and reduce restrictions on the private sector that, hopefully, will employ them. Cuba provides free healthcare, education, subsidized housing, transportation, and basic food, which has bankrupted the state. [Just as it will bankrupt America. This article says the reason for failure is inefficiency and mismanagement, but such programs always fail regardless of efficiency or management. That is the nature of collectivism.] Google News 2010 Sep 13 (Cached)

Obama’s Executive Order #13544 lays the legal framework for giving the UN complete control over all food, vitamins, and natural products sold in the U.S. [The UN authority is called Codex Alimentarius.

The drug company argued (and the court concurred) that the vaccine merely aggravated an underlying condition that was the cause of the damage.]

US: Senate is considering a bill to require employers to pay 3% of workers’ wages into a mandatory IRA program if the workers are not already covered by a retirement program.

Obama defends the so-called stimulus program by boasting of jobs created in a Michigan factory that produces batteries. Taxpayers will put $2.4 billion dollars into projects like this (about $7500 per taxpayer). In the battery plant, $548 million was spent to create 309 new jobs. That’s $1.8 million per job. [And this is the best project they could find to brag about. Such is the nature of collectivism.]

Leading psychologists say that effects of  television, especially among pre-schoolers, can irreversibly damage health, including impaired brain development, eating disorders, even heart disease. [We are inclined to believe this is true but it is scary to think that politicians will call for laws to snoop into our homes to make sure we do not watch too much TV or that we watch only the right kind of TV. In this collectivist world, it is inevitable.]

Greenpeace produces a propaganda video to perpetuate the myth of global warming. Everything this child reads from the teleprompter is a lie.

Energy efficiency is but the excuse.] Morning Liberty Posted 2010 Sep 11 (Cached)

VIDEO: Gulf Coast environmental scientist has collected a list of over 600 people who are suffering the effects of the toxic Corexit oil dispersant. She believes the EPA failed to override BP Oil’s decision to spray Corexit because, otherwise, the government might be liable. By leaving the decision in the hands of BP, all liability would fall on the company, instead. [In other words, avoiding liability is more important to the EPA that protecting human health.] YouTube Posted 2010 Sep 11

9/11 Ground-Zero Mosque and fanatic Koran-burning pastor hog headlines on the 9th anniversary of 9/11. [Questions are raised about the true character and motive of Hisham Elzanaty, an Egyptian-born businessman who says he provided financing for the buildings where the center would be built. The issue was given so much coverage in mainstream media that it deflected attention away from unanswered questions about 9/11 itself or lawsuits by First Responders.]
