Have You People Lost Your Freaked Out Minds?

Rational thought cannot explain what is going on in the world of politics today.  It's as if the American people have been dosed with seconal and mentally kidnapped.

The liberals are engaged in a perpetual rant that the republicans have waged a war on women.  This ridiculous claim is grounded primarily in the lie that only republicans oppose abortion.  Lots of people oppose abortion including many, many democrats.  But not all democrats.

Al Gore, one time democratic presidential nominee, is now calling for "fertility management", specifically in Africa, to control global warming.  Do you not know what he is saying?  This is right out of the Margaret Sanger eugenics playbook.  It's about forced population control, particularly among the dark skinned people of the world.  Snap out of it!  Remember what she said:

"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."

Pro choice my ass.  Isn't having a child a choice?  Isn't having as many children as you want a choice?  What are you people who support these loons thinking?

They are the ones who have an evil plan for the world.  They are the ones with a racist plot to limit the number of dark skinned people in Africa through "fertility management", and for what?  For their phony chicken-little screech about global warming?  It is now and always has been a front for controlling people.  How is it that my friends in the democratic party can't see this?

Is it because you have been mesmerized into thinking that George Bush was the great evil of our lifetime?  For God's sake wake up!

You allowed yourselves to be cursed with tunnel vision and believed that "The Bush Doctrine" was a one dimensional description of a war monger president who claimed the right to launch "pre-emptive strikes" even in nations that were no direct threat to the United States.  Forget for a minute that "The Bush Doctrine" was not the over simplistic concept that Charlie Gibson was high-fived about when he sneered at Sarah Palin.  Stop to look at how much farther than even what you THOUGHT George W. Bush was planning your own president is going in his slobbering lust for power:

In a video posted Wednesday at the Right Scoop, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Senators the administration would seek UN or NATO approval for the deployment of U.S. forces overseas while deciding whether or not it would seek approval from Congress.

The statement shocked Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who asked Panetta if he could "initiate a no-fly zone in Syria" without Congressional approval.

"Again, our goal would be to seek international permission and we would ...come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress - I think those are issues we would have to discuss as we decide what to do here," Panetta said.

"Obama is bypassing Congress every chance he can to do whatever he wants. He did it in Libya and then never complied with the War Powers Act, and I’d expect he’d do that again. He is a totalitarian, it’s just that simple," notes the Right Scoop.[Examiner]

And the world of the crazy left in the media centers went all ape-ish over comments by Mike Huckabee in a speech to the Republican National Committee.  Huckabee said that "no co-pay" birth control is an affront to women suggesting to them that they can't get by "without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government."

But Al Gore can call for the imposition of "fertility management" on an entire continent of Africans and the world just sits there blinking and nodding and drooling a little bit?

Have you people lost your ever loving freaked out minds?

Just go on, watch another reality TV show, buy what they are selling you, run up your credit cards, pretend that political debate and the future of our country are matters too far beyond your control to be bothered with, hope and pray that your unemployment gets extended, take advantage of every government benefit that comes your way and lay down on your face with your hands behind your head whenever you are told to do so.  It's all going to be okay.  Here's your medicine.

Now get off my lawn.

Obama's Green Plans Killing The Earth

Corn farmers love the ethanol program.  They are getting record high prices for their crops, they have found support industries developing strains of corn and types of equipment to substantially increase yields and they are big enough politically now to dictate to entire regions what ground will be planted.

Ethanol is really just distilled moonshine, with a chemical added to keep you from drinking it.  Same process as a mountain still, chemically treated and then added to your gasoline as part of the goofy idea that some how this is reducing "greenhouse gases".  And just to show you how little respect the "Greenies" have for your intelligence the must be laughing behind your back when you use the words "greenhouse gases" to picture something toxic.  Ever been to a greenhouse?  What gases?  Carbon dioxide which is given off by all living plants whether in a greenhouse or not?  The next time you use the term "greenhouse gases" to make a point about air pollution stop for a moment and savor the thought of how much of an idiot the "greenies" think you are.

So just how "green" is this ethanol program?  What you are about to read might surprise you.

The hills of southern Iowa bear the scars of America's push for green energy: The brown gashes where rain has washed away the soil. The polluted streams that dump fertilizer into the water supply.

Even the cemetery that disappeared like an apparition into a cornfield.

But the ethanol era has proven far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today.

As farmers rushed to find new places to plant corn, they wiped out millions of acres of conservation land, destroyed habitat and polluted water supplies, an Associated Press investigation found.

Five million acres of land set aside for conservation - more than Yellowstone, Everglades and Yosemite National Parks combined - have vanished on Obama's watch.

Landowners filled in wetlands. They plowed into pristine prairies, releasing carbon dioxide that had been locked in the soil.

Sprayers pumped out billions of pounds of fertilizer, some of which seeped into drinking water, contaminated rivers and worsened the huge dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico where marine life can't survive.

The consequences are so severe that environmentalists and many scientists have now rejected corn-based ethanol as bad environmental policy. But the Obama administration stands by it, highlighting its benefits to the farming industry rather than any negative impact.

"They're raping the land," said Bill Alley, a member of the board of supervisors in Wayne County, which now bears little resemblance to the rolling cow pastures shown in postcards sold at a Corydon pharmacy.

In some cases, such as its decision to allow wind farms to kill eagles, the administration accepts environmental costs because they pale in comparison to the havoc it believes global warming could ultimately cause.

Ethanol is different.

The government's predictions of the benefits have proven so inaccurate that independent scientists question whether it will ever achieve its central environmental goal: reducing greenhouse gases. That makes the hidden costs even more significant.

"This is an ecological disaster," said Craig Cox with the Environmental Working Group, a natural ally of the president that, like others, now finds itself at odds with the White House.

But it's a cost the administration is willing to accept.

Losing conservation land was bad. But something even worse was happening.

Farmers broke ground on virgin land, the untouched terrain that represents, from an environmental standpoint, the country's most important asset.

The farm industry assured the government that wouldn't happen. And it would have been an easy thing for Washington to check.

But rather than insisting that farmers report whenever they plow into virgin land, the government decided on a much murkier oversight method: Washington instead monitors the total number of acres of cropland nationwide. Local trends wash away when viewed at such a distance.

The Department of Agriculture began keeping figures on virgin land only in 2012 and determined that about 38,000 acres vanished that year.

But using government satellite data - the best tool available - the AP identified a conservative estimate of 1.2 million acres of virgin land in Nebraska and the Dakotas alone that have been converted to fields of corn and soybeans since 2006, the last year before the ethanol mandate was passed.[MyWayNews]

Still think that the plan is to improve our environment?  Or is it really just another example of the government being the enforcement arm of big business?

The Truth About Green Energy Is Very Ugly, But There's Hope

From the Australians we get this:

Federal cabinet has ruled that Australia will not sign up to any new contributions, taxes or charges at this week’s global summit on climate change, in a significant toughening of its stance as it plans to move within days to repeal the carbon tax.

Cabinet ministers have decided to reject any measures of “socialism masquerading as environmentalism” after meeting last week to consider a submission on the position the government would take to the Warsaw conference. …

And around the world the ugly side of the "Green Energy" hoax is being unveiled:

The reality is that, as Britain flaunts its environmental credentials by speckling its coastlines and unspoiled moors and mountains with thousands of wind turbines, it is contributing to a vast man-made lake of poison in northern China. This is the deadly and sinister side of the massively profitable rare-earths industry that the ‘green’ companies profiting from the demand for wind turbines would prefer you knew nothing about.

Rusting pipelines meander for miles from factories processing rare earths in Baotou out to the man-made lake where, mixed with water, the foul-smelling radioactive waste from this industrial process is pumped day after day. No signposts and no paved roads lead here, and as we approach security guards shoo us away and tail us. When we finally break through the cordon and climb sand dunes to reach its brim, an apocalyptic sight greets us: a giant, secret toxic dump, made bigger by every wind turbine we build. [Daily Mail]

Clearly the next great invention which the world would celebrate and which would bring greater prosperity to people everywhere would be a sustainable, clean source of energy.  But so far the 'green' stuff isn't all that green.

However, there is one new and emerging technology which has some real potential.

Laser Power Systems (LPS) from Connecticut, USA, is developing a new method of automotive propulsion with one of the most dense materials known in nature: thorium. Because thorium is so dense it has the potential to produce tremendous amounts of heat. The company has been experimenting with small bits of thorium, creating a laser that heats water, produces steam and powers a mini turbine.

Current models of the engine weigh 500 pounds, easily fitting into the engine area of a conventionally-designed vehicle. According to CEO Charles Stevens, just one gram of the substance yields more energy than 7,396 gallons (28,000 L) of gasoline and 8 grams would power the typical car for a century.

The idea of using thorium is not new. In 2009, Loren Kulesus designed the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept Car. LPS is developing the technology so it can be mass-produced.

Chem-Trails, Weather Manipulation, Sunlight Reflection: Fiction No More

The CIA is backing a study which will explore the efficiency of man controlling the weather over the earth using many of the same techniques the conspiracy theorists have been hawking for years, like "chem-trails" and cloud seeding.

According to US website 'Mother Jones' the CIA is helping fund a study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) that will investigate whether humans could use geoengineering - which is defined as deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climatic system - to stop climate change.

The NAS website describes the study as an investigation into "a limited number of proposed geoengineering techniques, including examples of both solar radiation management (SRM) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques."

Much speculation has surrounded claims that the US government has long been involved in types of weather manipulation, including a much-discussed attempt to cloud-seed - the process of dispersing substances into the air to create cloud condensation or ice nuclei and subsequently rain or snow - during the Vietnam war.

Weather manipulation was most recently in the news after claims by some American commentators that devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma, along with other extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy, were created by the US government using the Haarp antenna farm in Alaska. [Independent UK]

EPA Sends Anti-Coal Regs To White House Right On Cue

President Obama just delivered his message to America a few days ago in which he told the nation that he was going to exercise "executive" power to control green house gas emissions.  The EPA promptly sent over the new regulations.  Amazing how quickly they could react after hearing the speech.  Almost like they had the regulations ready and waiting.

And what will they do?

EPA’s swift action served notice that the administration has quietly laid the groundwork to carry out the president’s pledges and that the environmental agency was most likely ready with its revisions by the time Obama spoke on Tuesday.

It may also serve as an omen for EPA to make quick progress on an even more sweeping rule affecting the nation’s existing power plants, which produce about 40 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. A draft of that rule is due next June.

Both rules are expected to heavily disadvantage coal as an electricity source while favoring natural gas and nuclear, wind and solar power, although the administration has committed to offer as much as $8 billion to help coal plants meet the standards by capturing their carbon emissions. Coal is the cheapest and most abundant fossil fuel in the U.S. but also the dirtiest. [POLITICO]

Now if we had a viable source of clean energy ready and waiting, like the EPA regulations were, then maybe helping the nation transistion to a cleaner way to produce electricity would make sense.  But we don't.  We can't spin a propeller fast enough to generate the kind of electricity needed to melt iron in a smelting plant in order to make bridge parts.  We can't collect enough sunlight to run cities.  And we don't have any other source of energy to make electricity except nuclear energy, which so far hasn't been harnessed or considered safe enough to let the power companies build generating plants near populated areas.

So why kill coal?  Because the other stuff is the "Brawndo" of this idiotic presidency.

Dems Say "No War On Coal", You Decide

Here's the report today:

In the face of opposition from coal-producing states, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined an ambitious plan to combat climate change using executive actions to force power plants to cut carbon pollution.

Obama’s plan has far-reaching implications for coal states such as Kentucky, which ranks third nationally in coal production and uses coal to generate more than 90 percent of the state’s electricity.

Indiana could also be greatly affected, relying on coal for 83 percent of its electricity and, according to the National Mining Association, ranking eighth in coal production.

The president’s plan prompted political leaders aligned with the coal industry to predict economic disaster.

“Declaring a ‘war on coal’ is tantamount to declaring a war on jobs,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said during a floor speech Tuesday. “It’s tantamount to kicking the ladder out from beneath the feet of many Americans struggling in today’s economy.” [Courier Journal]

But one local lawyer who used to also be a coal miner and was last year the democratic nominee for Congress in the fourth district, Bill Adkins, disagrees.

There's no War on Coal - that's a industry fabricated lie spread by Republicans in congress. It's the shame of the UMWA they fell for it in 2012. What's happened to coal is that natural gas was over $15 per million BTU in 2005, but last week it was $3.85 per million BTU. That and advances in technology. The real war is the industry War on Coal Miners, the psyops of the fake War on Coal and the direct frontal assault of Patriot Coal in bankrupting obligations to their employees. Oh, and violating safety regs with impunity.

And it seems that despite his "Friends of Coal" license plate the victor in that contest, Thomas Massie, is a kindred spirit of those working with Barack Obama to destroy the coal industry.

Massie is the proud owner of an electric car and recently looked directly at audience members at a Northern Kentucky luncheon and said that having a friends of coal license plate on an electric car drives republicans nuts, making it clear that coal is what generates the electricity that powers electric cars.  But as we reported earlier that was just another dodge on his part.

Massie, like many other "doomsday preppers" lives off the grid and is very proud of the fact that his house is powered by solar energy, not coal fired electricity.  So unless he is charging his car at some location away from his bunker in the woods, he was intentionally misleading his audience, which likely included people from Duke energy.

Now back to Barack Obama and his plans.  Is the news that he will use "executive orders" or in other words, the kind of powers dictators employ, to kill coal fired generating plants really news?  Only to those who haven't been paying attention.

Is there a war on coal coming from the White House? You betcha.

Heat Wave In Alaska Continues

Saw this from a friend today.  Here was the temperature and the forecast at nearly 11pm in Delta Junction Alaska.  As she said, "unheard of".

Here's What Alison Grimes Would Help Her Buddy Barry O Do To, er, uh, For Kentucky

Alison Lundergan Grimes is a big supporter of Barack Obama and his climate change agenda.  But when have you ever heard his agenda stated succinctly?  Well, the answer is, right now.

Daniel P. Schrag, a White House climate adviser and director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment, tells the New York Times "a war on coal is exactly what's needed." Later today, President Obama will give a major "climate change" address at Georgetown University. [Weekly Standard]

It would be just like the Kentucky Dems to send another soldier to Washington to help Barack Obama wage war against Kentucky coal and what better person to help kill Kentucky coal than Jerry's daughter, ALG?

Obama To Impose His Will On Coal Plants By Executive Fiat

Barack Obama and Joe Biden vowed to destroy the coal industry.  Unfortunately for them the right of the people to gather together and petition the government and the right to free speech stood in their way.  So, apparently, still pretending that man made global warming is a clear and present danger, Obama will rule from the White House as if he was the dictator of the nation instead of the unpopular lame duck that he is.

 

We owe it to our kids to do something about climate change. Share this video and join me Tuesday: http://t.co/ifWvlB6qCL -bo

— The White House (@whitehouse) June 22, 2013

Now I have to admit, there have been some pretty crazy temperatures and weather patterns around the world, but, since global warming ended sixteen years ago and the earth has been warming naturally since the end of the ice age, maybe this new power grab has more to do with "power" than "energy".

107 Degrees In Alaska

Got an email from one friend and a Facebook posting from another living on the outskirts of Anchorage Alaska.  Yesterday my friend recorded 107 degrees in the sun and 89 degrees in the shade at his home.  And I usually go to Alaska to get AWAY from the heat.  What ever you do, don't tell Al Gore.
