But the people who try to unleash this potential get capped by the ones trying to hold together their corporate-government monopolies based on deception and artificial scarcity. Now that's a universal truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let that pretty box in your room tell you they're &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/024535_cancer_cancer_industry_breast_cancer.html"&gt;trying to find a cure for cancer&lt;/a&gt;. Ha! The joke's on you! There are already cures for cancer, just not profitable/patentable ones. Listen to the natural health advocates. &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/027731_cancer_survivors_natural_remedies.html"&gt;Case studies are available.&lt;/a&gt; The evidence is there. Same goes for most medical concerns of our time - all a massive con and a joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who actually develops real stuff to help humanity gets &lt;a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&amp;amp;source=hp&amp;amp;q=suicided+two+shots+to+the+head&amp;amp;meta=&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;oq="&gt;suicided&lt;/a&gt; (that is, they shoot themselves twice in the head). How many scientists missing or dead? How many inventions classified or buried? The unaware are unaware that they are unaware, so I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now for something really New Age, have a listen to Dr Horowitz.

Raised on SorosTube deaducational mindfilth, and believing their fellow humans are a cancer that need to be taxed out of existence, lest the polar bears die.

You see, the co2 cause has always pretended to be anti-establishment. Ordinary citizens against the big greedy oil corporations. Yet nothing could be further from the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, take the Rockefeller business dynasty, one of the richest and most powerful families on the planet. They essentially are Exxon, the biggest oil company. (&lt;a href="http://cbs11tv.com/business/Rockefeller.Exxon.Mobil.2.712352.html"&gt;see here&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT, did you know the same family empire funds the astroturf co2 lobby group, "&lt;a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/2173-rockefeller-brothers-fund-global-warming-protests-as-earth-cools"&gt;350&lt;/a&gt;"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would they support the co2 cause if they own an influential stake in Exxon?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer isn't pretty, you'll have to understand how our planet is really governed behind the scenes, and what the agenda these oligarchs have really is. And I'm not patronising you. The apparent contradiction above doesn't make any sense unless you know of the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-CrNlilZho"&gt;Endgame&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It isn't ordinary people against the oil companies. Neither is it the rest of us against a handful of climate protestors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/InXPPdLTiQo&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/InXPPdLTiQo&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(The video's claim [see description] that 50,000 people were there is dubious at best.

Shock the child severely.&lt;br /&gt;[2] Take the child out, and place a kitten in its hands. Tell the child to wring the kitten's neck. The child will cry and refuse.&lt;br /&gt;[3] Put the child into the cage, and shock them until they are dazed and cannot scream any more.&lt;br /&gt;[4] Take the child out, and tell them again to wring the kitten's neck. This time the child will shake all over, cry, but do it, afraid of the torture. The child will then go into the corner and vomit afterwards, while the adult praises them for "doing such a good job".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the first step. The animals get bigger over time, as the child gets older. They will be forced to kill an infant at some point, either a set up or VR, or in reality. They will be taught by age 9 to put together a gun, to aim, and fire on target and on command. They will then practice on realistic manikins. They will then practice on animals. They will then practice on "expendables" or in VR. They will be highly praised if they do well, and tortured if they don't comply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The older the child or teen, the more advanced the training. By age 15, most children will also be forced to do hand to hand combat in front of spectators (high people who come to watch the "games" much as the ancient gladiators performed). These matches are rarely done to the death, usually until one child goes down. They use every type of weapon imaginable, and learn to fight for their lives. If a child loses a fight, they are heavily punished by their trainer, who loses "face". If they win, they are again praised for being "strong' and adept with weapons. By the time they are 21, they are well trained combat/killing machines with command codes to kill and they have been tested over and over to prove that they WILL obey on command. This is how children in the German Illuminati are brought up, I went through it myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discussing orchestrated financial collapse. This was back in 2002 remember:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Illuminati has planned first for a financial collapse that will make the great depression look like a picnic. This will occur through the manoeuvring of the great banks and financial institutions of the world, through stock manipulation, and interest rate changes. Most people will be indebted to the federal government through bank and credit card debt, etc. The governments will recall all debts immediately, but most people will be unable to pay and will be bankrupted. This will cause generalized financial panic, which will occur simultaneously worldwide, as the Illuminists firmly believe in controlling people through finances.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On public knowledge of the Illuminati:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I really don't believe people will do anything about the Illuminati even if they know. Sorry for the cynicism, but it is based on a lifetime of experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Illuminists don't care who prints this stuff, or if they are "exposed" because they are counting on the majority not believing it, having done a pretty good job with a media blitz campaign (seen any articles in Newsweek or Time lately that addresses this other than as a laughable conspiracy theory? Guess who owns Time-Warner?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have heard them laughing about this very thing in leadership meetings five years ago, and I doubt their attitude has changed much since then. If people DID believe this, if action could be taken, then I would be very surprised and quite happy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More "Svali":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/ritual_abuse/53556"&gt;Are the Illuminati taking over the world?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't acccept what you read uncritically, never do that. Consider it for yourself. I reckon she's for real though. After all, most people are aware of the existence of cults, thanks to outspoken cult survivors. Just the idea of the most powerful people in the world being amongst a cult, that's harder to swallow perhaps. But if it is true that corrupt people seek power, then should not the most powerful people in the world be the most likely to be affiliated with abusive cults?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This of course presents a huge pile of questions relating to the sanctity of our democratic processes, integrity of government and so on. But if you've been paying attention lately you'll already know that these things are disappearing faster than, oh I don't know, the last pretences of our national sovereignty to the Eurogenics Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their Great Work, like the Great War and the Great Leap Forward, will be Great for BaphomeSonic FasciLuminated CommUciferians only. And I love the delicious occult irony that China is literally the real Eastern Star heralding all this crap.

Although it's a couple of days late, I thought I'd pass a more favourable comment over their Thursday &lt;em&gt;programming&lt;/em&gt; (pun intended), during which AGW 'denier' &lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/jamesdelingpole/"&gt;James Delingpole&lt;/a&gt; was actually allowed to speak for, I don't know, several seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the hefty bias as always was there - the interviewer interrupted any attempt by callers to say there is a lack of evidence of manmade climate change happening - with a nice condescending "I think there's plenty of people who would disagree with you about that". Of course no mention of the 31000 strong scientists' petition 'denying' manmade climate change when addressing AGW believers. If it's not cliche to say this, Goebbels would be proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, it's better that Mr Delingpole and other 'skeptical' laypersons* were allowed to speak, and I think they did a good job presenting a short case against the ludicrous global 'climate deal', i.e. making the Earth's life cycle subject to taxation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*no scientists or experts of any kind were featured, to my knowledge, during the discussion, either pro or anti manmade global warming theory. Propaganda was instead featured heavily, notably including the ridiculous 'you're with the oil companies' ad hominem.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7135320050960347924-59970505678064095?l=politically-confused.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/feeds/59970505678064095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7135320050960347924&amp;postID=59970505678064095' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/59970505678064095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/59970505678064095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-climategate-christmas-bbc-has.html' title='It&apos;s A Climategate Christmas + BBC has &apos;denier&apos; viewpoints heard'/><author><name>AdamS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08217603013523768701</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03675308812700411987'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135320050960347924.post-6429486656530237666</id><published>2009-12-11T23:26:00.011Z</published><updated>2009-12-11T23:28:03.153Z</updated><title type='text'>"Truth in Advertising"</title><content type='html'>All I have to say is, LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Go_VtqtxCHY&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Go_VtqtxCHY&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7135320050960347924-6429486656530237666?l=politically-confused.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/feeds/6429486656530237666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7135320050960347924&amp;postID=6429486656530237666' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/6429486656530237666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/6429486656530237666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/2009/12/truth-in-advertising.html' title='&quot;Truth in Advertising&quot;'/><author><name>AdamS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08217603013523768701</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03675308812700411987'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135320050960347924.post-1085171974149797774</id><published>2009-12-10T23:56:00.402Z</published><updated>2009-12-11T01:59:46.253Z</updated><title type='text'>It's the agenda, the big picture, the 'conspiracy'</title><content type='html'>I don't claim to understand what goes through the heads of the people in charge of this world. I have however educated myself to an extent about the multi-faceted scams, tricks, deceptions, layers within layers that shroud their actions and their intentions. And make no mistake, I am no authority on this. I am not speaking from authority or casting such an air.

This is blatant. Call it 'occult', 'satanism', 'mystery religion', or just 'the love of power', whatever you want. But whatever their motives, they are dead set - just like Robert Mugabe's re-election slogan - on 'total control'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you care to imagine what their vision of the future is, look to our past. &lt;a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/10949/fief/lofeudal.html"&gt;Feudalism in the Medieval period.&lt;/a&gt; Utter degradation that one can barely imagine. Worse even than most of Africa today. Yes, that was a time of total control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But who in their right mind would yearn for a return to that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disgusting, inbred, psychopathic loons are in charge of our society - MAKE NO MISTAKE they are in charge, just take a look at who controls the issuance of debt (slave) currency in your fine nation wherever you live, though I'm not saying you'll find easy answers if you start asking 'who prints money out of nothing and gets to charge the government interest on it?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debt mounts up (plus compound interest) then you have to pay it in raised taxes and the inflation tax, the latter of which also means more debt. But it's all a scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't believe me, consider this. Most countries around the world are in debt. &lt;em&gt;To who?&lt;/em&gt; Not all of it is simply to other countries. If it was, the global average of deficits and surpluses would be zero. But look at all the debt everyone is in! (perhaps except China...for now)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is that &lt;strong&gt;we are all in debt to OUR OWN CENTRAL BANKS&lt;/strong&gt;, which are controlled by a global network of crime families totalling no more than a few hundred people at most. This is the New World Order. It's not China, not the Jews, not the Muslims, nor is it the Whites, it's just a few hundred inbred psychopaths who have grown incredibly good at making the rest of us fight amongst ourselves instead of fighting their control structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call it 'the Illuminati' if you wish. Or don't. It's just their silly stupid name anyway, translating as 'enlightened ones' (inferring that the rest of us, of course, are in the dark). I don't care what you call it, whether you think one word or another is crazy, the name doesn't make it any more or less real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now then, goals. Many see parts of the agenda but do not see other parts. I am suggesting the likelihood that some kind of feudalism is the endgame, simply because I believe the elites probably harbour some nostalgia for the original feudalism, as a time when their predecessors did rule completely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's look at the elements of this potential neo-serfdom shall we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surveillance Society&lt;/strong&gt; is that which we live under to some extent now. Databases record untold amounts of information about everyone, and we simply must trust that this information is secure and all above board (trust me, I'm from the government!). Cameras, satellites and other surveillance platforms record our every move. This is designed as in the novel 1984, to give the individual a feeling of helplessness in the face of the 'mighty' (but &lt;em&gt;house of cards&lt;/em&gt;) power of the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Classical Fascism&lt;/strong&gt; is absolutely necessary to wipe out organised dissent of any kind. A whole host of things could be considered as potential triggers for classical, boots-in-the-street fascism. The climate of fear surrounding terrorism or a pandemic is one option. Another is so-called 'green fascism' that would see the state stomp out any AGW deniers, and of course any carbon criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cashless Society&lt;/strong&gt; would allow the state to literally cancel someone's very life at the touch of a button. This is where RFID chips come in. Many Christians cite RFIDs as being the Biblical 'mark of the beast', and it would certainly be true in a cashless society that no man would be able to buy or sell lest he hath received a working, approved chip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eradication of the Family&lt;/strong&gt; is essential to allow the state to raise all children, and thus control the future. The state is in the act of trying to replace the family through the following schemes: welfare state (if you feed a dog it becomes tame, same principle with humans), state schools (allowing the state to usurp the mother and father as the child's perceived 'parents'). The endgame of this process is to see all children not only raised, but created, by the state (parents would need permits to birth, and would be selected eugenically for that purpose).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Population Control&lt;/strong&gt; is the mega-endgame tying together these previous arms. The elites seem to have decided that all these people are getting a little hard to control, so the rationale is that thinning the herd out means less chains are required for future slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Happy Ending&lt;/strong&gt; is for the elites only. They can walk the Earth, just a few thousand I guess, with a hundred slaves each perhaps, and not have to deal with those pesky rabble whining about freedom and so on. Ironically, considering their obsession with death, the elites do have a will to live unfortunately. They want to extend their lives with technology...the only thing is, they do NOT want these developments to be shared with all of mankind. We the non-enlightened ones are not worthy like they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the most important part. They are absolutely failing, collapsing all over the place, in their agendas. Something is going terribly wrong with their little schemes. Too many people know too much about too much, thanks to the internet (take me for example, I had no idea about this stuff even a year ago). It is likely they will never acheive their little &lt;em&gt;Novus Ordo Seclorum&lt;/em&gt; long dreamed of. But that doesn't mean they won't kill millions of us trying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Addendum - Potential Questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there an 'elite' like that which I speak of? How can I prove this?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, when I say 'elite' I am merely using a convenient collective term to refer to the dozens of inbred, interbred families that form a kind of modern monarchy, that has overtaken and indeed destroyed conventional monarchy in the last few centuries. Bankers hold the keys to the Earth. A Rothschild once said, 'give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws'. Big banking/oligarchial names to look out for, and pay attention when you catch these names, include Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan, Schiff, Warburg, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Really there are many more, and the name 'Rothschild' for example refers to a broad family operating in many countries. Can I prove that 'the elite' exist? We could go on ad infinitum, but the basic answer is that I cannot, it feels too much like equating correlation with causation to say it is proven. Take a look for yourself and decide whether these...'people'...constitute an invisible financial government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I show that Central bank X is privately owned?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the groundbreaking anti-Federal Reserve movement in America, people are becoming aware that the Fed is a privately owned bank masquerading as government. Unfortunately, the Bank of England still says it is part of the UK government, claiming to have been 'nationalised' in 1948. In fact, economists &lt;a href="http://www.economicshelp.org/blog/economics/who-owns-the-bank-of-england/"&gt;say&lt;/a&gt; anything else is a 'conspiracy'!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common sense is proof enough that your central bank, wherever it may be, is privately operated for profit. Question: If government owns a central bank, why do they not just print money for themselves &lt;em&gt;and not charge themselves interest?&lt;/em&gt; The only reason a central bank would charge government interest on money borrowed, is if the central bank is a seperate institution to the government, i.e. private. Government would not charge itself interest - the absurdity! - no, central banks including the BoE are another breed altogether. Not quite private, but not quite government either. The worst of both worlds in fact. The economic black hole into which the world is sinking. But it makes the elite very very rich at the expense of everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Educate yourself about money, and let the other chips fall where they may.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=5232639329002339531&amp;amp;ei=BKUhS8eDE5So-AbK9YScDw&amp;amp;q=fiat+empire&amp;amp;hl=en#"&gt;Fiat Empire&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livevideo.com/video/F2294CCF16224C00AE4D04081D0DF1F0/zeitgeist-men-behind-the-c.aspx?lastvcid=332305"&gt;Zeitgeist -

by allowing vigorous debate, but within predefined limits constructed by the propagandist.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was listening to Official State radio (aka BBC) this morning, and they were discussing whether short haul flights should be banned or taxed more, to discourage people from using them, because of 'climate change'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412950498025581554" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/Sx6pzIWWq_I/AAAAAAAABWQ/8aZVCAVT0mk/s320/plane+stupid.jpg" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(&lt;em&gt;Plane Stupid&lt;/em&gt; logo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Predictably, on the one side, there was your common quasi-militant environmentalist, from (I think I recall correctly) the group &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_Stupid"&gt;'Plane Stupid'&lt;/a&gt; that opposes, amongst other things, proposed expansion of London Heathrow airport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the talking points he put forward were the usual carbon-guilt environmental style. We all like to fly but perhaps we have got used to this privilege a little too much, and we should make sacrifices to save the Earth. All of our short haul flights are the most polluting and we should take the train instead. More taxation is needed on the polluting airlines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side, the laypersons had varying reactions, but of course carefully staying within politically correct boundaries. One said he liked the convenience and speed of flying from one end of the country to the other, and said trains take too long. Another said that shutting down short haul flying would worsen overcrowding on the train system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody in the discussion carefully and dutifully remained within the accepted discussion area - idealistic environmentalists versus ordinary people who say saving the planet is too much of a sacrifice. No questioning of the fundamentals of the debate - that &lt;em&gt;manmade carbon dioxide is adversely affecting the world's climate and weather systems, and the only way to solve that problem is to deindustrialise&lt;/em&gt;. There was a vigorous debate, yet at the same time there was no debate. Propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody mentioned the new technology that could change the way we travel forever: &lt;strong&gt;magnetic levitation trains ('maglev' trains).&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/maglev-train.htm"&gt;See here for more info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412952119018674914" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/Sx6rRfBOWuI/AAAAAAAABWY/NODY_RvQ8NU/s320/Maglev+train.jpg" /&gt; These would, of course, render the entire debate irrelevant. They are faster than short-haul flying (if you count the check-in time), if co2 is a concern then these would be a fantastic solution, and since they are incredibly efficient both in terms of energy and time, they would surely be chosen by people in the free market without requiring government financial cattle prods in the form of subsidies, or taxes on other means of transport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be fair, plans are underway to build 'high speed rail' in Britain, but this is conventional rail, not maglev which, let's face it, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Ultraspeed"&gt;would be more awesome&lt;/a&gt;. The Germans, Japanese and Chinese all have their own (for now, small) maglev tracks - the Japanese and Chinese projects actually operate commercially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect the future of long distance transportation lies in the maglev train.

The city of Dahyan was also targeted, according to the insurgents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday's attack was led by "around 50 Hummers" supported by helicopters and fighter jets, before the Saudis were repelled and "the aggressors suffered heavy losses," the Shiite rebels said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Saudi-owned pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hayat on Monday quoted the Saudi military's southern command as saying it had captured 965 Yemeni infiltrators over the previous two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The infiltrators were captured in Jebel al-Dukhan, Al-Doud and Al-Rumayh, the paper said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not possible to verify the number with the Saudi military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main clashes in northern Yemen over the past three months have pitted the Huthis against the Sanaa government, which on August 11 launched "Operation Scorched Earth," an all-out assault against the insurgents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudi forces entered the conflict on November 4 after the rebels, protesting against alleged Saudi backing for Sanaa, killed a Saudi border guard and occupied two small villages inside Saudi territory the previous day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rebels have been clashing with Yemeni government forces on and off in the rugged mountains of Saada province and surrounding areas since 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They complain of being marginalised and oppressed by the government, which accuses them of seeking to reinstate a form of clerical rule that ended in a republican coup in 1962. The rebels deny the claim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aid agencies estimate that the violence has caused 150,000 people in northern Yemen to flee their homes in the five years since the fighting first broke out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, you never let a good crisis go to waste, do you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601100&amp;amp;sid=ard2Ka2_RO_g"&gt;Yemen Sees ‘Mounting Evidence’ Iran Is Arming Rebels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, you know something's wrong when you rely on Iranian news sources over your own:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=112947"&gt;http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=112947&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we have another group of non-governmental 'rebels' who just happen to be fighting both Yemen and Saudi. Fourth Generation Butchery. How convenient. Who bankrolls this stuff?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From the pamphlet &lt;em&gt;War Is A Racket&lt;/em&gt; by Gen. Smedley Butler:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7135320050960347924-8753897979305946053?l=politically-confused.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/feeds/8753897979305946053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7135320050960347924&amp;postID=8753897979305946053' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/8753897979305946053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/8753897979305946053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/2009/12/50-internets-says-you-havent-heard-of.html' title='50 Internets says you haven&apos;t heard of this war'/><author><name>AdamS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08217603013523768701</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03675308812700411987'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135320050960347924.post-2762443476301626569</id><published>2009-12-07T22:44:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-12-08T00:32:39.883Z</updated><title type='text'>100 Dead British Soldiers in 2009 in Afghanistan</title><content type='html'>A single death is a tragedy.

Uh...YES!</title><content type='html'>Can you imagine, back in the 1700s or so, some Malthusians (heck maybe even Tommy himself) or whatever they were called back then, bemoaning how the forests were running out and how we'd have to do without fire in the future, and cut our population?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now everyone knows they would have been wrong. Because human ingenuity found a new energy source. Fossil fuels. This rendered the old energy source pretty much obsolete, over time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now nobody worries about forests running out (except rainforests, but that's a whole other story). It is laughable. If you are cold, are you going to go outside and cut down a tree for firewood? No, you'll most likely turn on your gas or electric heater. Because we have developed technology that increases our standard of living and reduces our required effort. In fact, if the new technology didn't do these things, we wouldn't have widely used it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 224px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411568546995321698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/SxnA6_lVO2I/AAAAAAAABVg/w0fwroyr668/s320/Oil+Peakalypse+Now.jpg" /&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.schnews.org.uk/images/499--peak-oil-lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Image&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;: To me, it is not real 'peak oil', but artificial scarcity of oil, which is a very real problem in our world today. There is potentially plentiful, non-polluting/less-polluting energy, but the oil cartels don't want this to be devloped as it isn't profitable and controllable quite like oil is)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same rubbish is being spewed in a different era, by the same people - parasitic rich elites who want the rest of us to be more like medieval serfs than 21st century (fingers crossed) free citizens. They want us to feel guilty that we exist, that we use energy, that we are supposedly some kind of cancer on the Earth. This is to control us. Simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peak Oil, in the short term, simply isn't happening, except in the minds of Malthusians and oil company press releases (nothing like artificially high oil prices for good old profits, eh?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT the other notion about Peak Oil/post-industrial society plays on real concerns about pollution and so on. How do we reduce pollution? (and by this I don't mean co2, which is an essential life element, not a pollutant)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do we have to shut down industrial society and go back to the land to dig out a living?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As absurd as it may seem, it is what many Malthusian/Marxist environmentalists (called Malthusian/Marxist to distinguish them from real environmentalists) say we ought to do. As an aside, it's funny that some people don't see that everything about socialism/Marxism is about putting the peasants to work as quasi-slaves, not 'liberation' of 'the working class'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO, is this the only way? Are we to convert our cars into horse-drawn ploughs, and switch computers for shovels, and work the land like serfs once more? Or is there some way that industrial civilisation can survive fake crises like Peak Oil and Global Warming, and real ones like The New World Order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I do not deny or try to hide from the shortcomings of fossil fuels. They do cause pollution at many points (oil spills, coal contamination of water, coal releases radioactive particles, etc). However, it is generally agreed upon that they are a useful energy resource.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But for the future?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm telling you, &lt;em&gt;fossil fuels will be obsolete before they 'peak'&lt;/em&gt;. Probably long before. Look at the potential of nuclear power and geothermal power. As long as the Earth is, you know, very hot (though not quite 'millions of degrees' like Al Gore says), you can drill deep enough anywhere on the Earth's surface and pipe water down towards the mantle to boil it, then drive the resulting steam through a turbine on the way back up. Power. No burning fuels needed. As for nuclear, it should be the backbone of 21st century energy, duh! The issue of waste is much politicised but not that significant since even nuclear may be a stepping stone to bigger and better things. (as an aside, I reckon most other 'renewable' methods are a bit rubbish for mass production, but what do I know)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hydrogen engines are in my opinion something of great potential. This will replace the petroleum engine I am sure. Just takes time. Processing the hydrogen from water requires electricity, which we can generate using nuclear or geothermal power. In the engine hydrogen is converted into energy leaving water as the only waste product. Hurrah! Life without oil; cleaner, in-the-long-term cheaper, and bountiful standards of living for all, without global carbon taxes or depopulation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food is a major issue today. Some Malthusian minded people think there is going to be global food shortage as a result of overopopulation. Well if that happens it would largely be down to biofuel cultivation, not 'too many people'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do we feed the world?&lt;/strong&gt; Tough question but here are my suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;1. HEMP. The more I learn about this crop and its uses (food/medicines/textiles/paper etc), the more I am amazed that a) most people have no idea about hemp unfortunately, and b) it is often subject to legal restrictions on production even if it is drug-free. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jokV8xlJTNE"&gt;See here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. ALGAE for food (some types are incredibly nutrient-dense). &lt;a href="http://www.truthpublishing.com/chlorellaspirulina_p/pdf-cat21249.htm"&gt;See this report on the subject&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. SEAWATER as non-polluting, nutritious fertiliser. This is an exciting area which I honestly know little about, but it seems to have great potential. &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/rr-ocean_grown.html"&gt;See report here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And only if we are really in a tight spot:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. CEASE ANIMAL FARMING AND FARM PLANTS ONLY. This would provide a significant increase to food output if it was really necessary to prevent some kind of famine. &lt;a href="http://www.vegansociety.com/References/Food-Security/UK-Food-Security.aspx"&gt;See here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I doubt that genetic modification, as some suggest, increases food yields in the long term. Much of this is mere propaganda put out by the biotech industry (the Monstrosity known as Monsanto). Besides, there's a lot more evidence that GM food causes cancer than there is that it increases output.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point of all this rambling, which was set off by a comment someone left on &lt;a href="http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/2009/11/agw-and-peak-oil-two-part-malthusian.html"&gt;my earlier Peak Oil post&lt;/a&gt;, is that people will look back on today, and ask 'did they see the potential shown by new technology and methods, or did they fall for the lies of Malthusianism?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine what things would be like today if, instead of being visionaries who looked for new ways to grow and expand humanity, our ancestors decided 'the forests are running out' and implemented one child policies and 'tree carbon taxes'. I think we'd know what to say to them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine if we could speak to our distant descendants. Or rather, they could speak to us. Would they want us to build and grow our species, or cull it and return to the dark ages? What future would they want us to leave them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That choice, alone, represents the difference between real environmentalists, real human beings, and evil, negative, cancerous, anti-human Malthusians. There are solutions today, but the Malthusian doesn't care about whether solutions are there or not, they just want everyone else to think as backwardly as they do. Balance. Cull. Restrict. Limit. Neuter. Destroy. Die Off. &lt;em&gt;Ex-ter-min-ate... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Malthusians, I used to think like you because that's how I was taught in school.&lt;/strong&gt; Population bomb. Finite resources. But what of the infinite human potential! Somehow the masters of our little society here on Earth have stolen that thought from our minds.

Dec. 16 is a key date for the meeting because that's when the ministerial segment starts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chief editor Lisbeth Knudsen says it's a "great disappointment" that Gore canceled and that all tickets will be refunded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here comes the government whitewash:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8393449.stm"&gt;Chair for climate e-mail review&lt;/a&gt; (the standard BBC talking point is that 'sceptics' only point to ONE e-mail, the 'trick'/'hide the decline' one, when many others are incriminating too)&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;'Sceptics' dominate an online poll, Climategate emails searchable database site, Vaclav Klaus and Tories are 'sceptical', Minnesotans For Global Warming make me laugh, Some old news stories discussing (allegedly) manmade global warming AND cooling.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411197646087121890" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/SxhvluBz6-I/AAAAAAAABVI/V15DOwrL5_U/s320/Green+Swastika.gif" /&gt; &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 223px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411197648798406210" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/Sxhvl4IO1kI/AAAAAAAABVQ/_Fx9XLELYnM/s320/Green+Fascism.jpg" /&gt; ________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, a delicious &lt;a href="http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/proveit/about_the_count.aspx"&gt;poll&lt;/a&gt; conducted by the pro-AGW theory sciencemuseum.org.uk. Called 'Prove It!', it simply asked respondents to give a positive or negative answer to the following statement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"I've seen the evidence. And I want the government to prove they're serious about climate change by negotiating a strong, effective, fair deal at Copenhagen."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respondents who were actually at their Museum (like, you know, out there in the real world) overwhelmingly responded positively, by 3408 to 626 (84% &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;yes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it gets interesting when we look at their internet poll results, which turned out 2650 in favour to 7612 against! (74% &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was &lt;a href="http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/about_us/press_and_media/press_releases/2009/12/Prove%20It%20Announcement.aspx"&gt;summarised&lt;/a&gt; in a bemused manner by the director of the Science Museum:&lt;br /&gt;“More work needs to be done to convince people of the reality of human-induced climate change and of the urgency with which we must agree an international solution. Public organisations, like the Science Museum, have a responsibility to lay out the evidence and open up public discussion.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it tells me is that the people on the Internet are better informed because they have access to hear all sides, rather than the limited amount of information spoonfed to those who rely on government or corporate 'news' sources alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep, just as long as the BBC/ITN keep talking about how man is causing those Himalayan glaciers to melt, a potential regional problem no doubt but not caused by humans, some misinformed people might feel gulity enough to believe the AGW lie.&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLIMATEGATE EMAILS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are now viewable in a convenient searchable database form at this site &lt;a href="http://www.eastangliaemails.com/"&gt;http://www.eastangliaemails.com/&lt;/a&gt; (search 'hide the decline' for the most well-known email; also, the one about it being a 'travesty' that there was no evidence for recent GW is one of the most recent, on the last page of the database)&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vaclav Klaus, the only Euro leader with any detectable backbone, on Global Warming:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MzGm-z-kB_s&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MzGm-z-kB_s&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/cameron-hit-by-tory-backlash-on-environment-1832208.html"&gt;Cameron hit by Tory backlash on environment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Leading figures including Peter Lilley, the former cabinet minister, Andrew Tyrie and Ann Widdecombe are openly questioning the political consensus on climate change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today David Davis, the former shadow Home Secretary, warns in The Independent that the policy of tough targets to cut carbon emissions, supported by Mr Cameron, is "destined to collapse". He criticises "the fixation of the green movement with setting ever tougher targets, in the face of failure to meet earlier promises". He adds: "The ferocious determination to impose hair-shirt policies on the public – taxes on holiday flights, or covering our beautiful countryside with wind turbines that look like props from War of the Worlds – is bound to cause a reaction in any democratic country."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I first heard of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://minnesotansforglobalwarming.com/m4gw/"&gt;Minnesotans For Global Warming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; a few years ago when they were pictured with a sign saying "Global Warming = Beach Party".

Just when politicians in Europe and America have been adopting the most costly and damaging measures politicians have ever proposed, to combat this supposed menace, the tide has turned in three significant respects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, all over the world, temperatures have been dropping in a way wholly unpredicted by all those computer models which have been used as the main drivers of the scare...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Secondly, 2008 was the year when any pretence that there was a "scientific consensus" in favour of man-made global warming collapsed. At long last, as in the Manhattan Declaration last March, hundreds of proper scientists, including many of the world's most eminent climate experts, have been rallying to pour scorn on that "consensus" which was only a politically engineered artefact, based on ever more blatantly manipulated data and computer models programmed to produce no more than convenient fictions...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Thirdly, as banks collapsed and the global economy plunged into its worst recession for decades, harsh reality at last began to break in on those self-deluding dreams which have for so long possessed almost every politician in the western world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2002&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;a href="http://ourcivilisation.com/aginatur/iceage.htm"&gt;The Ice Age Cometh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;THE Earth's climate is changing in a dramatic way, with immense danger for mankind and the natural systems that sustain it. This was the frightening message broadcast to us by environmentalists in the recent past. Here are some of their prophecies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The facts have emerged, in recent years and months, from research into past ice ages. They imply that the threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.&lt;/em&gt; (Nigel Calder, former editor of New Scientist, in International Wildlife, July 1975)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The cooling has already killed thousands of people in poor nations... If it continues, and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come about by the year 2000.&lt;/em&gt; (Lowe Ponte, The Cooling, 1976)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1974&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,944914-2,00.html"&gt;Another Ice Age?&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://onesobservations.blogspot.com/2009/12/science-another-ice-age-monday-jun-24.html"&gt;One's Observations&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Read the whole article, it's a mirror image of modern day climate alarmism, but here's the key point]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;We are all carbon-based life forms...&lt;strong&gt;carbon is not a pollutant!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Earth warms, you did it. If the Earth cools, you did it. If El Nino or La Nina is too strong or too weak or off by a year, you did it. If a volcanic winter occurs, you did it; and as the planet warms following aforementioned volcanic winter, you did it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, whatever the Earth's climate does, complex and difficult to understand even with modern science as it may be, we know one thing: you are responsible. And you must pay us money to offset your sin of existence.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7135320050960347924-7310255972702160988?l=politically-confused.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/feeds/7310255972702160988/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7135320050960347924&amp;postID=7310255972702160988' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/7310255972702160988'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/7310255972702160988'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/2009/12/more-stuff-about-global-warming-and.html' title='More stuff about Global Warming and Climategate'/><author><name>AdamS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08217603013523768701</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03675308812700411987'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/SxhvluBz6-I/AAAAAAAABVI/V15DOwrL5_U/s72-c/Green+Swastika.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135320050960347924.post-1267046655954769797</id><published>2009-12-02T21:50:00.129Z</published><updated>2009-12-02T22:48:34.376Z</updated><title type='text'>Tomorrow this will be more than just a reality TV show</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Carbon Cops&lt;/em&gt;, an Australian show on the aptly named Sundance Channel (bloody Pagans).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 138px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410768511942549154" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/SxbpS0w0XqI/AAAAAAAABVA/Il_hpFUb3Js/s320/Carbon+Cops.jpg" /&gt; The best bit is guilt tripping the lad into handing over his car keys at 3:40 and 6:10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rMdyfv41cvw&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rMdyfv41cvw&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider it a chilling look into the near future if the tidal wave of Malthusian bollocks is allowed to continue unchecked. I'm thinking armbands and papers, commissars and informants. Detainees and holding centres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The logical conclusion of the anti-co2 cause is genocide. Almost as if those with genocide in mind anyway would use the anti-co2 religion for their own ends, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; willing to give up to 'save the Earth'? I'll come and take your car, maybe. Or perhaps your heating system. I'm not stealing. I'm crusading to save the polar bears. You refuse? Global Warming Denier! I'm calling the Carbon Response Unit, you need to go to Carbon Camp to learn how to fight global warming. And no having any Carbon Monster babies without a permit, because you're obviously not fit for the purpose of raising them with your foolish beliefs about global warming not being manmade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever I read the comments section of The Guardian, I am reminded - unfortunately - that some people would actually support all of the above measures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise." - Adolf Hitler&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Eugenics views itself as the fourth leg of the chair of civilization, the other three being a) a thrifty expenditure of natural resources, b) mitigation of environmental pollution, and c) maintenance of a human population not exceeding the planet’s carrying capacity. Eugenics, which can be thought of as human ecology, is thus part and parcel of the environmental movement." - &lt;a href="http://www.whatwemaybe.org/"&gt;John Glad&lt;/a&gt;, eugenicist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.” - &lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=9477"&gt;Sir Julian Huxley&lt;/a&gt;, first director general of UNESCO (1946-1948)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I support environmentalism that is eugenics-free and Malthusianism-free. Overpopulation is not the problem. Totalitarianism is not the solution. If you think there isn't room on the planet for 'all these people', then here's a pistol.

And by "peace" I of course mean war&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, the United Nations. Formed after WWII to prevent such a horrible situation from ever happening again. Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a question: &lt;em&gt;does the UN benefit more from preventing war or from causing war?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the UN prevents a war, they may get a pat on the back. Good PR. Not much else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the UN causes or allows a war however, the public will demand more powers for the UN to intervene in the conflict with 'peacekeepers', more funding for the UN to 'rectify' the situation, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus the incentive is much greater for the UN to create crisis than to avert it. It's the old thing about government subsidising failure. It doesn't just work with the banks...our friendly world government gets richer and more powerful in a state of crisis too. (co2 anyone?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Korea. Vietnam. Major conflicts both caused by global powers meddling in the affairs of small nations (arbitrarily cutting them in half, what did you think would be the result of that?) It should be noted that, while it wasn't the UN that split Vietnam, this decision was made at Geneva of all places. Here's a thought - why not leave the Vietnamese to govern themselves? As for Korea, the UN was actually a belligerent in that war. While neither of these wars was UN-caused, they were caused by non-UN &lt;em&gt;global governance&lt;/em&gt; decisions to split these countries. World government will NOT mean peace, but endless war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq. UN sanctions kill &lt;a href="http://www.coc.org/system/files/iraq_fact_sheet.pdf"&gt;a million Iraqis between 1991-2003&lt;/a&gt;, including &lt;a href="http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/072100-03.htm"&gt;500,000 children&lt;/a&gt;. (the UN admits to this heinous crime by the way, those death tolls are their own estimates.) They also use Iraq as an oil whore in the oil-for-food scam...&lt;em&gt;we starved you, now give us your oil and we will feed you&lt;/em&gt;.

It's what you get taught in school ('oh, we only have enough oil for 20 years' or whatever). But we are finding more all the time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Peak Oil argument is that we are &lt;em&gt;not finding enough&lt;/em&gt; new oil reserves to continue our consumption for any significant length of time.

The United States holds significant oil shale resources underlying a total area of 16,000 square miles. This represents the largest known concentration of oil shale in the world and holds an estimated 1.5 trillion barrels of oil with &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;800 billion recoverable barrells –&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;enough to meet U.S. demand for oil at current levels for 110 years.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;More than 70 percent of American oil shale is on Federal land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, primarily in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. In Utah, a developer says his company already has the technology to produce 4,000 barrels a day using a furnace that can heat up rock using its own fuel. ``This is not a science project,'' said Daniel G. Elcan, managing director of Oil Shale Exploration Corp. ``For many years, the high cost of extracting oil from shale exceeded the benefit. But today the calculus is changing,'' President George Bush said. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said the country has to do everything it can to boost energy production. ``We have as much oil in oil shale in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado as the rest of the world combined,'' he said."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, who's stopping the extraction of all this oil? &lt;em&gt;The US government is.&lt;/em&gt; In collusion, I expect, with the oil companies. To drive up prices. A delicious cartel arrangement made much more profitable by the &lt;a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?gbv=2&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;q=peak%20oil%20fraud&amp;amp;ndsp=18&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;tab=iw&amp;amp;start=0"&gt;Peak Oil Fraud&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying oil is infinite. But it's not running out anytime soon. If it was, then America would be Drilling Baby Drilling right now, believe me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will not run out of oil. Rather, new technology will simply replace oil in much the same way that fossil fuels replaced the use of trees for wood. Oil will be obsolete. It should already be. Cartels are keeping oil in place for their own interests. Where's that hydrogen powered car, eh? Nuclear tech/geothermal replacing coal fired power stations? Give it time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;PS: I don't believe human co2 production has much at all to do with global temps, but if you believe that then come on, support the new technology we do have (which happens to be non-co2 emitting) instead of bitching at Copenhagen that we need global carbon taxes and less children because 'we are a cancer on the Earth' or something. Malthusianism is the delusion of the defeatist, and the invention of the eugenicist.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7135320050960347924-5240725545421884078?l=politically-confused.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/feeds/5240725545421884078/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7135320050960347924&amp;postID=5240725545421884078' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/5240725545421884078'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7135320050960347924/posts/default/5240725545421884078'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politically-confused.blogspot.com/2009/11/agw-and-peak-oil-two-part-malthusian.html' title='AGW and Peak Oil: A Two-Part Malthusian Myth'/><author><name>AdamS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08217603013523768701</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03675308812700411987'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EgXqKP0XKGM/SxQMiS6YjTI/AAAAAAAABTo/jfxH_-ZW0es/s72-c/nationalgeographic-endofcheapoil.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
