So now many Tea Party activists are furious and are going to be working to vote out Scott Brown in the next election. All of the enthusiasm and passion that benefited him this time could very well be his undoing next time around.

Here is the letter from the disgruntled Tea Party activist....

-----

Dear Scott Brown,

You are a real piece of work, aren't you? I am a member of the Tea Party Movement that went to bat for you. I donated money, that we just didn't have, but, your words spoke of the true "change" we all wanted. I gave up countless hours in email to the good people of your state, in support of you. I worked your phone banks. You made promises that were nothing more than a lie, to get yourself elected. You are nothing more than a RINO!!!!

You voted with the commies on a jobs bill that you knew was just a fraud upon the people. And, the last straw? When I saw you prancing around endorsing Juan McAmnesty.

You, sir, are a fool. WE put you in office, and, hear me well, AH, WE will take you out just as easily. The TEA PARTY MOVEMENT grows in strength, resolve and determination. Enjoy your 2 years, Brown, because.....WE the PEOPLE are coming for you in NOV 2012!!!!!! The Tea Party Movement can make or break anyone....you are aware of this....you were recipient of our good, generous natures. YOU LIED TO US. You are the same as the rest of them, and, I think you are a sad, pathetic, small, little man.

See ya at the polls, BROWN!!!!

Also, during your 2 years in office? WE the PEOPLE will be on you at every word you speak, and, every action you choose to take. You are about to find out what being on the other side of the Tea PArty Movement is really like.

Well, apparently Obama was quite serious.

Senior administration officials are now saying that Barack Obama intends to permanently reduce America’s nuclear arsenal by "thousands" of weapons.

But shouldn't you wait until you negotiate with the other side before you declare that you intend to give up a large percentage of your weapons?

Well, apparently that is not the way things work in Obama World.

In fact, Obama's obsession with getting rid of nuclear weapons is creating quite a bit of friction between him and the boys down at the Pentagon.

On Monday, Obama met with U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to discuss the "Nuclear Posture Review" which was supposed to be published in December but which was delayed because Obama did not consider it radical enough.

Apparently the brass over at the Pentagon is very resistant to dramatically change U.S. policy regarding nuclear weapons, but Obama is very clear about what he wants.

According to one senior administration official quoted by the New York Times, Obama wants the Nuclear Posture Review to commit to a drastic reduction in the U.S. nuclear arsenal....

"It will be clear in the document that there will be very dramatic reductions — in the thousands — as relates to the stockpile."

In fact, during the campaign he very clearly told the American people that it was his intention to set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons....

Since being elected, Obama has been working hard on negotiating a new nuclear arms reduction agreement with the Russians.  Under a memorandum of joint understanding signed last July, deployed nuclear warheads for both the United States and Russia will be reduced to below 1,700 on each side within seven years of signing a new treaty.  That represents a radical reduction by both sides.

So are we likely to see a new treaty soon?

Well, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that Russia and the United States are close to completing negotiations on a new treaty on strategic arms cuts.

So it is getting close.

But besides the cuts called for in negotiations with the Russians, Obama is making unilateral pledges as well.

For example, Obama has pledged that the United States will not develop new nuclear weapons.

In addition, Obama has ended financing for a new nuclear warhead sought by the Bush administration.

In addition, there are rumors that there have been "back-channel discussions" with U.S. allies about whether to withdraw American tactical nuclear weapons from Europe.

All of this comes at  a time when strategic threats around the globe are multiplying.

Once upon a time, Russia was the only serious nuclear threat we needed to be concerned with, but now China and North Korea are very serious threats, and nations such as Iran and Venezuela could soon become very big problems as well.

At this moment, the U.S. nuclear arsenal consists of approximately 2,600 deployed nuclear warheads, with another 2,500 in reserve and 4,000 more that are scheduled to be dismantled.

But now the deal that the Obama administration is seeking to make with the Russians would reduce the nuclear arsenals of both the United States and Russia to less than 1,700 warheads, and there are those in the Obama administration that are pushing for unilateral cuts beyond even that.

This would mean that that U.S. nuclear arsenal would end up being less than 10 percent of what it was at the height of the Cold War.  Just check out the chart below....

Meanwhile, the Russian military is modernizing their tactical and strategic forces as if they were preparing for war....

*Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia must improve its space defenses as well as modernize its nuclear arsenal by 2020.

*Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday that once it has completed work on its own fifth-generation fighter, Russia must proceed with designing a "next generation" strategic bomber.

*Russia has announced plans to buy four warships from France in the biggest defense deal with a NATO member since the end of the Cold War.

But the Obama administration acts as if the Cold War is over and as if Russia poses no threat to the United States whatsoever.

In fact, the Obama administration is acting as if the U.S. really doesn't need a nuclear deterrent at all anymore.

But what if they are wrong?

The following are 10 huge flashing danger signs that show just how much of a mess the U.S. economy is in....

#1) The FDIC is opening a satellite office in the Chicago area that will accommodate up to 500 temporary staffers and contractors to manage receiverships and liquidate assets from what they are expecting will be a massive wave of failed Midwest banks.

#2) The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Tuesday that foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities fell by $53 billion in December, which is the biggest one month decline in history.  China alone reduced its holdings of U.S. Treasuries by $34.2 billion.  So if foreigners quite buying up all of our debt, what happens then?

#3) Mortgage defaults in the U.S. have continued to hit record highs and housing prices are continuing to fall.  Now, a massive "second wave" of adjustable rate mortgages is scheduled to reset beginning in 2010.  The first wave of adjustable rate mortgage resets absolutely devastated the U.S. housing market in 2007 and 2008.  So what is this second wave of mortgage resets going to do to the U.S. economy?

#4) In fact, one new study estimates that five million houses and condominiums will go through foreclosure over the next few years.  Needless to say, that would be absolutely catastrophic.

#5) The number of Americans who are declaring bankruptcy continues to skyrocket.  1.41 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009 which represented a 32 percent increase over 2008.

#6) But how can Americans pay their bills without jobs?  In some areas of the United States it is now nearly impossible to get a really good job unless you have an inside connection.  In fact, the mayor of Detroit estimates that the real unemployment rate in his city is approximately 45 to 50 percent. 

#7) America needs jobs, but soaring unemployment insurance taxes are discouraging small and mid-size companies from bringing on more workers.  According to the National Association of State Workforce Agencies, companies in at least 35 states will have to fork over even more in unemployment insurance taxes in 2010.  Making it more costly to hire a new worker is not going to help put Americans back to work. 

#8) The U.S. economy is facing a pension crisis of unprecedented magnitude.  The truth is that the vast majority of all pension funds in the United States, both public and private, are extremely underfunded.  With millions upon millions of Baby Boomers now at retirement age, there is simply no way that all of these unfunded pension obligations can be met.  Robert Novy-Marx of the University of Chicago and Joshua D. Rauh of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management recently calculated the collective unfunded pension liability for all 50 U.S. states for Forbes magazine.  So what was the total that they came up with?  3.2 trillion dollars.

#9) Not only that, but the Social Security system is also a silent monster that threatens to devastate U.S. government finances.  In fact, many analysts are now forecasting that the coming wave of Baby Boomers is going to bankrupt the entire Social Security system.

#10) All of these economic problems come at a time when the U.S. national debt is exploding into the stratosphere.  The national debt is now over 12 trillion dollars and it is rising at a rate of about 3.8 billion dollars per day.  So how much is one trillion dollars?  Well, if you spent one dollar every single second of every single day, it would take you over 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars.  That is a lot of money.

The truth is that the U.S. is drowning in debt.  American consumers are broke.  American businesses are broke.  State governments are broke.  The U.S. federal government is broke.  The only way that we can keep things going is to borrow increasingly larger amounts of money.

But when we do borrow even more money we make our long-term problems even worse.

The day of reckoning for the U.S. economy is fast approaching and we are headed for some extremely difficult economic times.

Are you ready?

"I would be willing to if I believe that it's right for the country."

Video of this interview on Fox News is posted below....

That definitely does not sound like someone who is not going to run for president.

In fact, everything about Sarah Palin right now screams out that she plans to run - she is just not ready to make a formal announcement for a while.

So, she is saying the right things about other potential candidates for now.  During the Fox News interview, Palin said that there were other potential Republican candidates who are "in as strong or stronger position than I am to take on the White House and if they're in a better position than I in three years, I'll support them."

Recent polls have revealed that the Republican base favors her right now over other potential Republican candidates, and when Tea Party convention organizer Judson Phillips brought up the idea of "President Palin" in a question-and-answer session after Sarah Palin's speech, members of the audience reportedly leaped to their feet and started chanting "Run, Sarah, Run."

So will Sarah Palin run for president in 2012?

Yes.

Not only is she snuggling up to the Tea Party movement, she is also out actively endorsing other Republican candidates and plans to be an active campaigner during the 2010 campaign season.

If she was "retiring" from politics she would not be aggressively out there like this.

Everything she is doing is laying the groundwork for 2012.

But if for some reason Sarah Palin does not run in 2012, when will she run?

Never.

In American politics, you must run while you are hot.

Do you think people like Bob Dole, John Kerry, Dan Quayle or Michael Dukakis would have a prayer of getting elected to the presidency now?

No.

But at one time all of those guys were hot and they all had realistic chances of becoming president.

It is all about striking while the iron is hot.

That is what Barack Obama did.

2012 is Sarah Palin's chance.

Either she gets elected then, or it is almost certainly over for her.

That is the reality of American politics.

She is one of the most polarizing figures in the history of American politics already, but the truth is that right now Sarah Palin is very hot with the Tea Party crowd.

2012 is her shot - if she is willing to go for it.

And she will be.

But she may not be the only conservative female running in 2012.

Michele Bachmann is also a huge Tea Party favorite and she is lurking in the background and is evaluating what direction the political winds are blowing.  Already there are websites that are urging her to run for president in 2012.  She has a ton of support among conservatives and she is getting a ton of face time on the news channels.

So could we see a Palin vs. Bachmann duel for the Republican nomination?

You never know.

Or perhaps they will end up joining forces and running together.

Stranger things have happened.

Well, where I come from if it walks like a duck and if it quacks like a duck then we call it a duck.

So is Barack Obama a socialist?

-Obama believes that the government should run the economy and he has already taken over some of America's biggest corporations and has given government bailouts to many of the biggest banks.

*Check

-Obama believes in big government and he is expanding the number of people working for the U.S. government to over 2 million people this year.

*Check

-Obama believe in raising taxes and in massively increasing government spending.

*Check

-Obama has almost got his government takeover of the U.S. health care system pushed through Congress.

*Check

-Obama is pushing a "cap and trade" carbon tax scheme on the American people that would give the U.S. government unprecedented control over U.S. businesses and over the intimate details of our personal lives.

*Check

-Among Obama's mentors during his formative years were some of the most radical socialists and communists in recent U.S. history.

*Check

-Obama is continuing to build the Big Brother police state infrastructure that other administrations started which is stripping away our civil liberties and turning us into whimpering servants of the almighty central government.  This is exactly what other major totalitarian socialist governments throughout history have done.

*Check

If you study history, the parallels between what is going on right now in the United States and what happened during the rise of other socialist regimes throughout history is absolutely stunning.

The truth is that the America that we all grew up in is systematically being dismantled.  Once it is gone it will almost be impossible to get back.  We encourage you to visit our new blog entitled The End Of The American Dream where we will be exploring the destruction of the American ideal and how this is going to impact all of us in the years ahead.

What in the world?

Didn't conservatives and tea party activists just spend weeks working their butts off to get this guy elected?

The truth is that we have been duped again.

During a recent interview, Scott Brown told Barbara Walters that he is pro-choice.

Brown went on to explain, however, that he is "different" from other pro-choicers because he wants to "reduce" the number of abortions.

Wait - isn't that the line that Obama always uses?

Yup.

That truth is that we have been duped again.

During the same interview, Brown told Walters the following about gay marriage....

And on the marriage issue that you brought up, it's settled here in Massachusetts, but I believe that states should have the ability to determine their own destiny and the government should not be interfering with individual states' rights on issues that they deal with on a daily basis.

So Scott Brown is perfectly okay with Massachusetts or any other state deciding to legalize gay marriage?

No, that is not conservative.

No, that is not okay.

The truth is that we have been duped again.

Scott Brown is not a conservative.

He hasn't even been seated yet, and yet he has already told Republican leaders that there are going to be times when he will be voting with the Democrats.

Wow!  That sure does not sound like a conservative revolution at all.

It does not appear that Scott Brown is anything like the hardcore conservative that will be fighting tooth and nail to stop the Obama agenda that may tea party activists thought that they were electing.

The reality is that Scott Brown is going to be one of the most liberal Republicans in the history of the party.

In Washington D.C. we seem to have two parties now - the Democrats and the "not quite as radically liberal" Democrats.

True conservatives are a dying breed in Washington.

The truth is that we have been duped again.

When are we going to learn that we should never cast a single vote for any candidate who is pro-abortion?

Ever.

It doesn't matter how many tax cuts you pass - if the United States continues to kill about a million babies a year by abortion we are not going to be blessed.

There have been approximately 50 million babies murdered in the abortion mills of America since Roe v. Wade in 1973. 

Blood is on the hands on this nation.

If we do not stop it now, when are we going to stop it?

The truth is that we are going to reap what we sow.

The only hope for a turnaround in the United States is for a radical moral awakening to take place.

And electing pro-abortion Republicans to Congress is not going to help one ounce.

Electing Scott Brown was not a victory.

It was a disgrace to the Republican party.

If you don't think that your circle of friends has seen this letter yet, please send it out to them.  What this 95 year old World War 2 veteran wrote in his letter to Barack Obama is absolutely amazing.  You have to admit that his mind is still quite sharp after all of these years.  The following is the text of the letter that 95 year old Harold Estes wrote to Barack Obama....

****

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: "We're no longer a Christian nation" "America is arrogant" -- (Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean- spirited." Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said, "America hasn’t lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

Seriously.

Apparently the goal of such a plan would be to raise "tens of billions of dollars" which would then be used to "transfer" pharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing capabilities to the developing world.

Transfer them from where?

Places like the United States?

So let's get this straight. 

According to the WHO global tax plan, they want to do the following three things....

#1) Take away research, development and manufacturing jobs from us and give them to the developing world at a time when we can least afford it.

#2) Give much more money and power to the idiots who brought us the global swine flu scare of 2009.

#3) Make us pay for all of it.

The World Health Organization's "Expert Working Group" is also thinking of asking wealthy nations such as the United States to set aside fixed portions of their gross domestic product to finance the shift in worldwide research and development.

What in the world?

No, we do not want a global tax.

No, we do not want to redistribute our wealth.

We've got a big enough debt problem right now without the WHO trying to dip their greedy little fingers into our pockets.

Thanks to Obama and the U.S. Congress we are already flat broke as a nation.

So does anyone think that it is a remotely good idea to give billions of extra U.S. tax dollars to the WHO?

But the truth is that some nations are already taxing their citizens for the benefit of the WHO.

A program known as UNITAID was started in 2006.  The goal of UNITAID is to battle HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the globe.  This program is financed by a "solidarity contribution" levy of anywhere from $1.20 to $58 on airline tickets.

Ouch!

The nations already imposing this tax include France, Brazil, Chile, Norway and the U.K.

Apparently it has already raised around a billion dollars, and the WHO says that more countries are getting involved. 

The truth is that this is yet another reason why the United States needs to leave the United Nations.

Not reform it.

Not try to get it to change.

The U.S. needs to pull out of the United Nations and never look back.

Otherwise, there are going to be relentless attempts to impose global taxes, global rules, global regulations and global mandates on the American people.

But we do not want global government.

We never have and we never will.

The Democrats are taxing us dry already.  Just how bad would things be if we let a bunch of global bureaucrats dig around in our pockets?

Do you think that we are being too dramatic?  Just watch the video posted below. Someone out there has taken the time to break down section after section of this nightmare bill and explain what it is going to mean for America and for each of us individually. We challenge anyone to watch this video and then try to explain to us how our lives are going to be better after this bill passes....

The truth is that we would be far better off if the entire U.S. Congress would simply go home and take the rest of the year off.

How in the world can they give us a health care "reform" bill that gives us fewer choices, higher taxes, health care rationing and unprecedented U.S. government control over everything?  And this thing is also going to cost trillions of dollars and put our nation even farther into debt?

We don't want it!

Isn't the fact that a Republican is on the verge of winning a U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts (of all places) enough of a signal to the Democrats that they need to back way off?

The truth is that the American people would be far happier if this Congress would spend their days getting drunk and taking naps.  At least that way they would not be busy screwing up all of our lives.

That is the best that the American people can hope for out of this Congress - that they would do absolutely nothing. 

The picture below is of this Congress doing their best work....

Why?

As the video posted below explains, the American people are sick of the bailouts, sick of the spending, sick of the government takeovers, sick of the unemployment, sick of the corruption, sick of the socialism and sick of politicians not listening to concerns about health care reform.

The video below is very powerful and it has been viewed on YouTube tens of thousands of times. There is nothing offensive in it, but it has already been yanked down off of YouTube several times.

Why has it been yanked down? Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps people don't like hearing the truth.

The reality is that American voters are angrier than at any other point in modern times, and it looks like 2010 is going to be a really, really bad year for the Democrats....

But will the Republicans do any better if they get power?

After all, the reckless spending and expansion of government by the Bush administration got us into the position we are today.  Bush backed the bailouts and the government takeovers too.  In many ways, the Obama administration is just continuing the policies that the Bush administration started.  The truth is that the Bush administration was one of the most liberal administrations that the U.S. has ever had when you take an honest look at the issues.

So if the American people just end up voting in a bunch of George W. Bush clones, that is not going to solve much of anything.

The truth is that both parties are controlled by the establishment to such a degree that it is virtually impossible for the American people to change the course of the nation at the voting box anymore.  No matter who gets voted in, it just seems like things keep going the same way.

Hopefully the tea party movement can result in some real conservatives getting voted into Congress in 2010.  But it is high time that we all realize that the vast majority of the politicians in both parties are owned and bankrolled by the establishment, and not much is going to change until that does.

Only 36 percent of those polled agreed with this statement: "some of the government's proposals will go too far in restricting the public's civil liberties."

So are Americans really this stupid?

Have they really been brainwashed into willingly giving up their essential liberties just so they can feel a little safer?

Maybe they have.

After all, a new USA TODAY/Gallup poll says that 78 percent of Americans approve of the new full body scanners that the U.S. government wants to install in all U.S. airports.

So almost 4 out of 5 Americans are perfectly fine with letting airport security officials gawk at their naked bodies just so they can feel a bit safer from terrorists.

How sick is that?

The truth is that when Americans allow themselves to become so wimpy and so fearful that they are willing to throw many of their most important freedoms out the window, those responsible for the terror scares have won.

In fact, Amerika (formerly America) is very quickly becoming a brutal police state where privacy is a thing of the past and where free speech and alternative points of view are openly repressed.

For example, in a 2008 academic paper President Barack Obama's appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated "cognitive infiltration" of groups that advocate "conspiracy theories".

Infiltration of groups with alternative viewpoints that the government doesn't like?

Do we live in East Germany?

Apparently we do.

Americans do not care about their freedoms and liberties anymore, so now they are being taken away.

And apparently the message of the most recent polls is that Americans are perfectly fine with that.

This "religious conscience" exemption is in both the House and the Senate versions of the health care reform bill.  Thus it is almost certain to make it into the final version of the bill unless there are some dramatic last minute objections.

So why do the Amish want to be able to opt out of this system?  Well, the reality is that most Amish are disgusted by any type of government assistance.  In most Amish societies, families and neighbors take care of one another.  The thought of participating in a government-run health care system is totally repugnant to them.

But it is not only the Amish that will benefit from this provision.  Other groups such as Old Order Mennonites and Christian Scientists could benefit as well.

So what about the rest of us?

Can the rest of us get in on this action?

If the Amish can opt out of the requirement to purchase health insurance, they why can't average, hard-working Americans?

Or do we need to invent a religion first?

If so, here are a few potential ideas for new religions which might work.....

*Anti-Reid/Pelosi/Frankianity

*The National Organization of "I don't want none of that Obama health care mess"

*Leavemetheheckaloneism

*The Universal Belief That Brittney Spears Will Heal All Of Our Diseases So We Don't Need Health Insurance Religion And Poker Club

*GetoutofmywalletObamalamadingdong

*The "I live in my mother's basement so I can't afford your insurance in the first place" meditation center and lounge

*The "You can take your death panels and you can stick them where the sun don't shine" center for peace, love and forgiveness

*The "This bill is so bad I'd rather trust my health care to Tom Cruise than to Obama" meditation center and herbal tea discussion group

*The "I grew a beard so I am Amish too" social club

*The "Being conservative is a religion because every day we pray that Obama will get voted out in 2012" 12-step group

In essence this bring the United States even closer to a dictatorship.

If the president has the ultimate power to decide what is and what is not constitutional, and if the president also has the power to break any laws that he does not feel are constitutional, then the reality is that there are very few limits on his power.  The only limit is essentially how big of an imagination he has.

While Bush was in office, he challenged about 1,200 sections of bills, and Barack Obama continued this "signing statement" pattern during his first few months.

However, Obama has not issued a signing statement since last summer.  Last June, Obama issued a signing statement that claimed that he could openly disobey a new law requiring administration officials to push the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to adopt certain policies that Congress wanted.

That signing statement sparked a tremendous backlash on Capitol Hill.

Since then, the Obama administration has decided that instead of issuing signing statements, Obama will just ignore the provisions of any bill that the Obama administration believes are unconstitutional.

For example, the Obama administration has flatly disregarded a new law passed by Congress that forbids State Department officials from attending United Nations meetings led by nations deemed to be state sponsors of terrorism.

So now Obama gets to essentially have his cake and eat it too.

He can sign into law the various bills sent to him by Congress but can also ignore anything in them that he does not want to follow himself.

So can anything be done about this?

The truth is that this type of thing could quickly escalate into a constitutional crisis.  But with the Democrats in charge of both Congress and the White House, the odds of Congress complaining to the Supreme Court about what Obama is doing are so low as to not even be worth mentioning.

So for right now at least, Barack Obama will get to continue to openly break many of the laws that he is signing and nothing will be done about it.

Welcome to the new Amerika. 

So just what is going on with the weather?  Well, it is actually the sun the drives global warming and cooling, and right now we are in a cooling cycle.  To learn more about the science behind this, just check out this article. 

In any event, the truth is that even the common man or woman on the street can put 2 and 2 together this winter and realize that this whole "global warming" thing is not all that it is cracked up to be.  The following are just 8 reasons why this winter is making a mockery out of the climate change crowd....

#1) Global warming?  Record-setting cold temperatures and brutal winter weather have been sweeping North America, Europe and Asia with no end in sight.

#2) Global warming?  877 snowfall records were set or tied in the United States in just one week in December.

#3) Global warming? A massive storm barreling into the Upper Midwest just before Christmas stirred up a blizzard that some meteorologists said was stronger than just about any storm seen in South Dakota in the past 40 years.

#4) Global warming?  Winter has only just begun and 50 percent of the U.S. was already covered in snow at one point in December.

#5) Global warming?  The death toll from winter storms across Europe has risen to at least 80 people, as arctic temperatures and heavy snow continue to plague the continent.

#6) Global warming? More than 30 people died in cold-weather related incidents in Northern India recently in just one 24 hour period.

#7) Global warming? Even Barack Obama has been impacted by this winter weather.  In fact, Obama had to leave the United Nations Copenhagen summit on global warming because of a record setting snow storm back home in Washington D.C.

#8) Global warming? In the wake of the Copenhagen climate change summit, many delegates returned home only to find record-setting subfreezing weather hammering their home nations throughout Europe.  Sometimes it seems like someone up there has a beautiful sense of humor.

But for today we wanted to review some of the key stories from this past year.  The following are the 16 most important stories posted on The Truth in 2009....

#16) 18 Signs That America May Be Too Stupid To Continue As A Nation

The truth is that Yemen has suddenly become center stage for the war on terror.  According to reports, "underwear bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has told FBI agents that there are many more just like him in Yemen who will strike America soon.  This has led many mainstream media outlets to now proclaim that Yemen is the true home of al-Qaeda.

In fact, it is being reported that a "regional wing" of al-Qaeda, known as "al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula", has claimed responsibility for the failed Christmas Day attack.  American officials are saying that "al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" has transformed itself from a regional threat into the terror network's most active affiliate outside Pakistan and Afghanistan.

So what does this mean?

Will the United States send large numbers of troops to assist the government of Yemen in their fight against al-Qaeda?

If the government of Yemen does not cooperate, could the United States invade Yemen just like they invaded Afghanistan?

The truth is that once the U.S. government identifies a terrorist group that they want to hit they don't let anyone stand in their way.

Much of the focus is now on radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is being called one of the key leaders of "al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula".

If the government of Yemen does not cooperate with the United States in the apprehension of al-Awlaki, will that give the United States justification to conduct an armed invasion of Yemen?

Not that the groundwork has not already been laid.  The U.S. military is already on the ground in Yemen and is involved in the ongoing civil war there.

You see, for years Saudi Arabia and Iran have played out their long-term rivalry in Yemen.

The minority Shi'ite Houthi rebels (backed by Iran) have been fighting against the dominant Sunni majority in Yemen for years.

But over the past few months that fighting has spilled over into Saudi Arabia.

Back on November 5th, a large Saudi armored infantry force and tank column reportedly crossed the border into Yemen to do battle with Iran-backed Houthi rebels, but they apparently did not have that much success.

So reportedly the Saudi government began asking the U.S. for assistance.

On December 14th, Houthi fighters reported that U.S. fighter jets launched 28 attacks on the northwestern province of Sa'ada.

Subsequently, on direct orders from Barack Obama, the U.S. military launched cruise missiles against Houthi targets in Yemen.

According to reports, the U.S. military now has substantial assets on the ground in Yemen, although it is not entirely clear when they got there.

U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, admitted on Monday that the growing U.S. presence in Yemen includes Special Operations Forces, Green Berets, and American intelligence agents.

In addition, the Pentagon has provided Yemen with close to 70 million dollars in overt military and counter-terrorism assistance in 2009.

So what is next?

Will tens of thousands of U.S. troops be needed in Yemen to deal with al-Qaeda and/or the Houthi rebels?

If the government of Yemen does not cooperate with the war on terror will that mean that the U.S. will essentially invade Yemen?

The answers to these questions are not clear at this point, but there is one thing that is now very clear.

The United States is at war in Yemen and it will be for quite some time to come.

#1) All Americans will be forced to buy health insurance.  If you don't like the new system, that is too bad for you.  If you don't pay up, you will be heavily fined and you could ultimately end up in prison.  There will simply be no escape from participating in this health care system until you die. 

#2) Americans will have basically two places from which to get health coverage - either their workplaces or from "insurance exchanges" set up by the government.  If you are not employed, you will have one choice. 

#3) Americans will have much fewer health plan choices under the new system.  The new "insurance exchanges" that the government is setting up will offer four health plan templates that have been mandated by the government.  Each plan will contain health benefits that have been specifically dictated by government agencies.  You will be forced to pay for the benefits contained in these plans whether you need them or not.  So if you will never need substance abuse treatment or prescription drug coverage that is too bad - you will be forced to pay for them.

#4) Americans will be eligible for a federal subsidy to help them buy health insurance, but only if they earn less than 400 percent of the poverty level ($88,200 for a family of four).  However, an individual will only be eligible for a subsidy if their employer does not offer health coverage and if that individual purchases a "government-approved" plan from a "government-approved" insurance exchange.

#5) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that a family insurance plan for a typical family of four will cost approximately $15,000 per year when the health care bill comes into full effect in 2016.  How do you think most American families will react to that?

#6) The Congressional Budget Office also says that the coverage provisions in the Senate bill will cost the U.S. government $200 billion annually by 2019 and that these costs will grow by 8 percent per year.  Considering the fact that the U.S. government is already drowning in red ink, where in the world will all of that money come from?

#7) American workers will be hit with nasty new taxes under the new system, including a .9 percent Medicare payroll tax increase that the Senate bill would implement.

#8) There is also a 40 percent tax on "Cadillac" health plans in the Senate version of the bill.  That tax is not indexed to inflation, which means that eventually every health plan will be subject to the tax.

#9) Even if your current health plan is "grandfathered" in, your current health insurance company will be required to meet new federal mandates that will dramatically increase the cost for any health plan it offers you right now.  Guess who the health insurance companies will pass those costs on to?

#10) Senator Harry Reid has inserted some really wicked provisions in the Senate version of the health care bill that will make it virtually impossible to repeal the Obamacare bill once it is adopted.  So the reality is that once it is voted in, the American people will be stuck with it forever.

4 Health Care Plan Templates

Many Americans who are supporting the health care reform bill are excited because they think that finally all Americans will get the health care coverage that they want.

But unless what all Americans "want" is contained in the four standardized U.S. government health plan templates that is most definitely not going to be the case.

You see, private health insurers will still be involved in offering health insurance under the new plan, but their health plans will be required to meet the standards set forth by the U.S. government templates. The New York Post puts it this way.....

Consumers must buy policies from their employers or through the exchanges — but, either way, their choice of coverage is limited to one of four basic insurance plans that the government sanctions.

Private insurers will still compete to offer policies but must model their coverage on one of these four templates. In short, the Senate bill explicitly standardizes health benefits and then establishes elaborate mechanisms (including subsidies and penalties) to pay for them.

According to an Associated Press breakdown of the Senate bill, the most basic of the health plan templates would pay about 60 percent of health care costs per year, while the most "advanced" of the health plan templates would pay about 90 percent.

The vast majority of Americans have not even noticed that their health care choices are about to be scaled way back, but the Wall Street Journal has.  In a scathing editorial, the lack of flexibility and choices in these "health plans" was pointed out....

Unnoticed by the press corps, the Congressional Budget Office argued recently that the Senate bill would so "substantially reduce flexibility in terms of the types, prices, and number of private sellers of health insurance" that companies like WellPoint might need to "be considered part of the federal budget."

But even among the four health plan templates there apparently is not that much of a difference.  The New York Post describes it this way.... 

While these four plans vary from low- to high-cost options, the benefits offered under them are pretty much the same. The difference between the cheaper and pricier plans is mostly the amount of cost sharing (e.g., you pay less for insurance if your co-pays are higher).

So what does this mean?

It means that everyone is going to end up with essentially the same health insurance.

2 Places To Get Health Coverage

The Senate health care reform bill also gives Americans just two places from which to acquire health care coverage.  Either they can get it from their employer, or they can buy it from one of 50 state-based insurance "exchanges".

Reuters has posted a breakdown of how these state-based insurance exchanges will work....

The proposed government-run insurance option would be dropped from the bill. Instead, the federal government would contract with insurers for two national or multi-state health insurance plans that would be offered through the new insurance exchanges. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which oversees health policies for 8 million federal workers and their families, would manage the public plans.

So what does this do to health insurance companies?

It fundamentally changes their nature.

The Wall Street Journal put it this way....

With formerly private insurers converted into public utilities, for instance, they'll inevitably be banned from selling products like health savings accounts that encourage more cost-conscious decisions.

1 Giant Socialist Mess

So where does this leave the American people?

It leaves them with a giant socialist mess of a health care system.

The American people are going to be furious when they learn about the minimal health care choices that they have under this new system.

Experienced U.S. doctors will leave or retire in massive numbers.  One recent poll found that 45 percent of American doctors said that they would quit or retire if Barack Obama's health care reform plan is adopted. 

If there is a mass exodus of doctors, it would absolutely cripple the health care system in America. 

The level of medical care in America will also probably experience a dramatic decline if the Senate plan is adopted.  Just ask veterans or those on Indian reservations how well U.S. government managed health care works. 

The truth is that whenever the U.S. government gets involved in health care it quickly becomes a nightmare.

But now that is what all Americans will have - government planned health care.

The new Wall Street Journal editorial about the Senate plan expressed amazement at "the hubris of an Administration that thinks it can substitute government planning for market forces in determining where the $33 trillion the U.S. will spend on medicine over the next decade should go."

The truth is that the U.S. government is replacing a capitalist health care system with a socialist one.

The American people are not going to like it, doctors are not going to like it, employers are not going to like paying for it and the U.S. government is going to drown in red ink trying to pay for it.

But the Democrats are going to ram it down our throats anyway.

The health care bill Barack Obama is trying to ram through Congress does virtually nothing to reduce the countless millions that doctors, lawyers, pharmaceutical companies and health insurance companies are greedily raking in. Instead, it seeks to find savings by pushing "efficiency" and by cutting out "unnecessary procedures". In other words, federal officials will decide what medical procedures are "cost effective" and which ones are not.

Meanwhile, Representative Michele Bachmann is warning that this health care reform bill will be “the largest middle-class tax increase in American history” and will represent a huge step towards socialized medicine.

And she is right.

But that is not stopping Barack Obama from using whatever scare tactics he can to get this bill rammed through....

But Barack Obama was actually partly right about something.

The truth is that the U.S. government is already basically bankrupt.  It has been caught in an accelerating debt spiral for decades and now things have totally gotten out of control.  Just consider the chart below....

And the reality is that the chart above does not really reflect a lot of the money that went to bail out the financial industry.  The truth is that things are even worse than the chart indicates.

The U.S. government is drowning in red ink, and now we are about to have the Democrats ruthlessly ramrod a health care bill that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars down the throats of the American taxpayers.

What a mess we have on our hands.

As bizarre as this may seem, it is actually happening.

These new "population carbon offsets" are being offered by the Optimum Population Trust.  The OPT calls itself "the leading think tank in the UK concerned with the impact of population growth on the environment".  The truth is that the OPT does have some really big names associated with it.  Just some of the world famous individuals involved in the Optimum Population Trust include Sir David Attenborough, Stanford Professor Paul Ehrlich and Dr. Jane Goodall. One of the stated goals of the OPT is to "advance the education of the public in issues relating to human population worldwide and its impact on environmental sustainability".

The OPT's website even includes a "Stop At Two" pledge which asks people to take "another green step towards environmental survival for all" by making the following pledge:

I'm going to try not to have more than two children!

To show just how committed they are to the population control agenda, the OPT launched this population carbon offset scheme on December 3rd - just prior to the beginning of the Copenhagen climate change summit.

In his report on this new carbon offset initiative, John Vidal, the environment editor for the Guardian, noted that many of the participants at the Copenhagen summit could easily offset the carbon emissions that they would be producing during their travel to the conference by paying for one child in Africa to be killed....

Calculations based on the trust's figures show the 10 tonnes emitted by a return flight from London to Sydney would be offset by enabling the avoidance of one unwanted birth in a country such as Kenya.

In fact, the OPT has launched a dedicated website, http://www.popoffsets.com/, which allows people to offset their carbon footprint by making online payments to OPT which will go towards "family planning" around the world.

But not only that, earlier this year the Optimum Population Trust commissioned the London School of Economics to produce a report on population issues.  The final report, entitled "Fewer Emitters, Lower Emissions, Less Cost", says that the best way to reduce "greenhouse gases" is to have fewer people on earth.

This report by the London School of Economics actually performed a "cost-benefit analysis" on the various methods for reducing carbon emissions around the world, and they found that the "cheapest" way to reduce carbon emissions by far was to increase funding for "family planning".

But not only is population control the official agenda for organizations such as the OPT, it is also the official agenda of the United Nations.

Very few people have talked about the U.N. Population Division policy brief from March 2009, but it is an absolutely explosive document.  This shocking policy document openly asks how fertility decline in the least developed countries can be "accelerated" as quickly as possible.

The entire March 2009 U.N. Population Division policy brief can be read here.... 

http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/UNPD_policybriefs/UNPD_policy_brief1.pdf

The policy brief begins with this shocking question....

What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?

The report then proceeds to discuss how the earth's population is clearly unsustainable (especially in "developing" countries) and it considers what can be done to make sure that fewer babies are born in the "least developed" nations.

But as bad as that report was, the U.N. recently released a report on population that was even more shocking.

The United Nations Population Fund recently released its annual State of the World Population Report entitled "Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate".  This stunning report goes farther than any U.N. report has ever gone before by unequivocally linking population growth with climate change.  The report states that the only way a climate disaster can be avoided is to radically increase "family planning" services around the globe and to do whatever it takes to reduce worldwide fertility rates.  In a statement accompanying the release of the report, UNFPA Executive Director Thoraya Obaid stated that "rapid population growth and industrialization have led to a rapid rise in greenhouse gas emissions. We have now reached a point where humanity is approaching the brink of disaster."

The director of the UNFPA says that we are on the brink of disaster.

A "climate change" disaster.

And what is causing it?

According to him, the biggest cause is population growth.

But the truth is that mankind is not even causing climate change.  For those who do not yet understand this, we highly recommend that you read a comprehensive article that we posted about this issue on our sister site entitled "How To Save The Environment? Get Al Gore The Heck Away From It". 

But even if you concede that humanity is causing climate change, the truth is that there is still no justification for reducing the population in order to combat it.

But according to the authors of this new U.N. report, the link between population growth and climate change is undeniable....

"The importance of the speed and magnitude of recent population growth in boosting future greenhouse-gas emissions is well recognized among scientists, including the authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's reports."

In fact, the authors of the U.N. report are convinced that population growth has been responsible for approximately half of the growth of worldwide carbon emissions....

"Still, calculations of the contribution of population growth to emissions growth globally produce a consistent finding that most of past population growth has been responsible for between 40 per cent and 60 per cent of emissions growth."

According to the authors of the report, humanity must be "mobilized" to fight the causes of climate change before disaster strikes....

"The harsh realities of high per capita emissions among industrialized countries and swiftly rising ones among developing countries highlight the urgency of mobilizing all of humanity to stop collectively at the brink of this possible climate disaster zone."

So what is the very best way to reduce carbon emissions according to the U.N. report?  Well, according to the report, each birth that can be eliminated can have a dramatic impact on reducing carbon emissions.....

"Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendents. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."

But the authors of the U.N. report also recognize that the idea of "population control" is extremely unpopular in many areas of the world.  But that is not stopping them from suggesting that it is time to seriously address population control as part of the battle against climate change....

"fear of appearing supportive of population control has until recently held back any mention of 'population' in the climate debate. Nonetheless, some participants in the debate are tentatively suggesting the need at least consider the impacts of population growth."

So if "climate change" is the world's biggest problem, who is the enemy?

Well, it turns out that humanity itself is the enemy.

The U.N. report is very clear that no human can ever be "carbon neutral"....

"No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."

So if no human can ever be "carbon neutral", what does that mean?

It means that you, me, our families and everyone else on earth is a part of the problem.

The fact that we exist is a problem to them.

So what is the solution according to the authors of the report?....

"Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."

In other words, we all need to pass out more condoms, encourage more women to get abortions and tell more women that they need to focus on their careers instead of their families so that we can get them to have less children.

You see, the term "family planning" in the report is just code for things like "lower fertility rates" and "smaller families"....

"family planning services and supplies are especially powerful in delaying the age of first pregnancies and reducing the size of completed families"

The reality is that the U.N. report uses a lot of thinly veiled, politically correct language to suggest that in order to fight climate change, radical population control measures should be implemented.

Thanks to the Obama administration, the UNPF will have plenty of money with which to pursue that agenda.

Back in March, the Obama administration reversed the Bush administration's policy and directed that 50 million dollars be given to the United Nations Population Fund.

So not only is the United Nations Population Fund promoting their population control agenda around the globe, they are also using American tax dollars to do it.

But it is not just the environmental elitists among globalist organizations that are obsessed with population control.

The truth is that the population control agenda is taught side by side with the global warming and radical environmental agendas in universities throughout the world.

Millions of normal people who have been indoctrinated in these universities are now buying into this agenda and are taking action.

For example, there is actually a website entitled "One Less Child" that openly promotes the idea that people should have one less child.  The idea is that having less children is the absolute best thing that a person can do to help the environment.  Their mission statement actually says the following about the need to control the population.....

To have couples consider population reduction through less offspring. Having less offspring actually increases the quality of life of your current offspring, which is what every couple wants.

Not only that, but an author by the name of Diane Francis recently authored an article in a national Canadian newspaper that openly called for Canada to implement a formal one child policy like China has done. 

Her article, entitled "The Real Inconvenient Truth", has fortunately caused an uproar throughout Canada.  It seems that most Canadians are not yet ready to accept a mandatory one child policy. 

In her article, Francis presents two scenarios.  The first is if a one-child policy is implemented worldwide.  The second is if a one-child policy is not implemented....

These radical environmentalists actually believe that there will be unprecedented global disasters if radical population control measures are not enforced across the globe immediately.

Of course by now most people who will read this article know that this bizarre population control agenda is even represented in the White House. Barack Obama's "science czar", John P. Holdren, once co-authored a textbook entitled "Ecoscience" in which he advocated population control measures that are so wild and so bizarre that it is difficult to believe that a sane individual actually authored them. 

What follows are actual quotes from Holdren's textbook....

Pages 787 and 788....

“Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would haveto meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.”

Pages 786 and 787....

“A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.

The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.”

Page 838....

“In today’s world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?”

Keep in mind that Holdren is now Barack Obama's top science advisor.

But even some of the richest people in the world are absolutely obsessed with population control.  Back on May 5th, Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey and a number of other of the wealthiest people in the world gathered for a clandestine meeting in Manhattan.  The meeting was supposed to be so secret that many of the billionaires’ aides were only told that they were at "security briefings".

So what was so important that so many of the wealthiest people in the world had to gather for a secret meeting?

Population control.

According to one major U.K. newspaper, one person who attended this secret meeting confessed that "a consensus emerged that they would back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat."

This is what the richest people in the world are so upset about?

The article goes on to quote one attendee of the meeting as saying the following about the "overpopulation problem"....

"This is something so nightmarish that everyone in this group agreed it needs big-brain answers."

Apparently they do not intend to include the rest of us as they come up with their "big-brain answers".

It would be a mistake to underestimate how obsessed the global elite are with population issues.

The truth is that they are absolutely committed to trying to solve the "population problem" in this generation.

So what will their "solutions" look like?

We can only guess.

But what we do know is that in the name of fighting "climate change", the United Nations and the global elite plan to pursue a radical population control agenda.  According to their own documents, the number one problem the world is facing is "climate change" and the number one cause of "climate change" is overpopulation.

Knowing that many nations on earth will never willingly submit to open population control measures, the global elite will likely implement their population reduction methods by subtle means.  Let us just hope that they are not successful in their attempts to eliminate as many people as possible. 

An earlier version of the Copenhagen climate change treaty can be found here.  However, the version of the treaty now being circulated in Copenhagen is not available to the public at this point. 

Fortunately, there are some officials who have seen the latest version and who are willing to speak out.  One of them is Lord Christopher Monckton - a former official in the Thatcher administration.

We already knew that the Copenhagen Treaty was going to be incredibly bad, but according to Lord Monckton it is going to be even worse than we anticipated.

So just what is this horrific treaty going to do?

#1) A World Government

The Copenhagen Treaty is going to be a gigantic step towards world government.  Lord Monckton recently said the following about what the drafters of this treaty are trying to do.....

"Once again they are desperately trying to conceal from everybody here the magnitude of what they’re attempting to do – they really are attempting to set up a world government."

The wording of the treaty creates governmental bodies with a vast array of power over environmental affairs.  The treaty gives these new governmental bodies tremendous power over the lives of every man, woman and child on earth.  It even grants these new governmental authorities authority over the U.S. government and the U.S. Constitution.

When you have world governmental authorities that can micromanage the smallest details of our lives and that can trump the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Constitution, what do you have?

World government.

#2) Brutal New World Taxes

The Copenhagen Treaty will also establish crushing new taxes which will further devastate the economy of the United States and which will transfer massive amounts of wealth to developing nations.

This is what Lord Monckton had to say about the taxes in the Copenhagen Treaty.....  

"Tax the American economy to the extent of 2 percent GDP, to impose a further tax of 2 percent on every financial transaction….and to close down effectively the economies of the west, transfer your jobs to third world countries – all of that is still in the treaty draft."

To illustrate just how massive these new taxes would be, he pointed out that they would amount to at least half of the entire U.S. defense budget.

That is huge.

So where would all of this money go?

It would be transferred to third world nations to help them build "green" economies and it would go towards running the new socialist world governmental bodies.

This would be a blow that the U.S. economy may never recover from.  Already the U.S. economy is coming apart like a house of cards.

What would these new taxes do to it?

#3) Creation Of 700 New Bureaucracies To Enforce The Treaty

According to Lord Monckton, the Copenhagen Treaty will create 700 new bureaucracies to enforce the provisions of the agreement.....

"We’re looking at a grab for absolute power and absolute financial control worldwide by the UN and its associated bureaucracies and 700 new bureaucratic bodies."

This would not mean 700 new officials.

This would mean 700 new bureaucracies.

700 new organizations that would be crawling all over the world micromanaging the lives of every man, woman and child - making sure that they are adhering to the edicts of the new environmental world laws.

Lastly, perhaps the most ominous provision of this treaty is that it states that once a nation has signed on to it, it may not ever cancel its membership without the approval of all the other member nations.

Do you understand what that means?

It means that unless every single other nation agrees, the United States can never, ever get out of it.

Ever.

No future president would be able to do anything.

No future Congress would be able to do anything.

The United States of America would be under the thumb of this treaty forever.

We would be obligated to pay their world taxes forever.

We would be obligated to transfer our wealth to other nations forever.

We would be obligated to submit to the extremist regulations of world environmental bodies forever.

Are you starting to get the picture?

Denmark is one of the growing number of countries where prostitution is actually legal.  Instead of being called "prostitutes", they are known as "sex workers".  You can almost hear thousands of world officials salivating as they arrive in Copenhagen anticipating a very productive and stimulating time away from their home countries. 

But not everyone is thrilled.  Copenhagen's mayor actually sent out postcards to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging summit delegates to "be sustainable - don't buy sex".

But since prostitution is legal in Denmark, there is not much the mayor can do to stop it.  In fact, many of Copenhagen's "sex care workers" are reportedly offering free sex to anyone who can produce one of the mayor's postcards.  They are furious that the mayor would try to disrupt the busiest time that they will see this entire year.

In fact, a spokeswoman for the Sex Workers Interest Group said that Mayor Bjerregaard is "abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job".

On another note, law enforcement officials in Copenhagen have constructed a "holding facility" that contains approximately three dozen small steel cages which they say can accommodate more than 350 protesters.

While some observers have criticized these steel cages as being inhumane, the reality is that law enforcement authorities now see these kinds of "security measures" as routine whenever globalist leaders assemble around the globe.

The New York Times quotes Per Larsen, the top coordinating officer for the Copenhagen police force as saying that this "is surely the biggest police action we have ever had in Danish history".

In addition to the new holding facility with the steel cages, Denmark also rushed new laws through Parliament that allow for stiffer fines and "extended detention" for protestors.  Law enforcement authorities have also made it a point to have public displays of newly acquired antiriot equipment - in hopes that potential protesters would "get the message".

So why would protesters be so upset?

Is it because they don't have anything better to do?

No, it is because a group of mostly unelected world leaders is poised to take a gigantic step towards world government.  An elaborate web of rules and regulations is expected to be agreed to in Copenhagen that will have fundamental consequences for every man, woman and child on earth.  The global agenda of the ruling elite of the world is about to be ruthlessly pushed forward at the expense of the middle class and the poor - all in the name of "saving the earth" from carbon dioxide. 

But anyone who dares to protest this will be jammed into a small steel cage while the global elitists run around Copenhagen cavorting with prostitutes.

This first photograph was posted on polocontacts.com on November 26, 2008.  It is from the night of the 12th annual Rock the Vote awards on June 9th, 2005.  The caption of the picture on that website reads as follows.....

"Others pictured are Black Eyed Peas Rock Band; Tareq Salahi the President of the America’s Polo Cup; President Elect Obama, Fergie from Black eyed Peas and Michaele Salahi, posing this time as a former Miss USA and SuperModel."

So we are still supposed to believe that Barack Obama did not know the Salahis?

One thing that we do know about Tareq Salahi is that he is a former member of The American Task Force on Palestine.  Even though The American Task Force on Palestine has scrubbed all references to Salahi on its website, reference to him can still be found on Google cache.

As far as Michaele Salahi goes, who knows what to believe.  Apparently she has claimed to be a former cheerleader for the Washington Redskins, a former model for Victoria’s Secret and a former Miss USA.

But what we do know is that these folks are very good at getting around town and posing with celebrities.

In fact, this next picture is of Tariq and Michaele Salahi sitting in President Obama's Box at the Lincoln Memorial on Inaguration Day.....

So in light of all this, how can it continue to be denied that Barack Obama had a friendship with the Salahis even before he became president?

For those not familiar with Climategate, essentially what happened is that hacked emails and documents from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit were posted on the Internet which prove that many of the key scientists involved in the theory of global warming conspired to falsify climate data in order to prop up the premise that mankind is causing climate change.  A great summary of this unfolding scandal can be found here.

Why did they did those scientists have to falsify the data?

Why?

Because the actual science simply does not support the theory of man-made global warming.  If you are not aware of how the scientific data clearly shows that man is not causing global warming, please read the article that we recently posted on our sister site entitled "How To Save The Environment? Get Al Gore The Heck Away From It".

But Climategate is not about to stop Barack Obama from heading to Copenhagen.  In fact, world leaders from all over the globe will soon be pouring in to Copenhagen ready to sign a treaty that will pledge their nations to make deep sacrifices in order to fight the threat of climate change.  The Copenhagen Treaty will give an as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations in order to fight the threat of climate change.  It would represent a gigantic step towards world government.  In fact, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently wrote an editorial in the New York Times that openly declared that "global governance" is needed to fight the threat of global warming.

In his editorial, Ban Ki-moon made the following very disturbing statements.....

"All agree that climate change is an existential threat to humankind."

"A deal must include an equitable global governance structure."

"All countries must have a voice in how resources are deployed and managed."

Sorry Ban Ki-moon, but all do not agree.

In fact, the whole Climategate scandal has revealed that the top global warming scientists have been deliberately lying to us.

In response to Climategate, White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs stated that for the Obama administration it really does not change anything.....

"In the order of several thousand scientists have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening," Gibbs told reporters. "I don’t think that any of that is, quite frankly among most people, in dispute."

But it is not just the denial of good science that makes global warming like a religion.  The truth is that global warming extremism has now essentially become a religion.

In fact, one judge in the U.K. has issued an opinion giving belief in global warming the status of a religion.  Just check out what Justice Michael Burton wrote.....

"A belief in man-made climate change, and the alleged resulting moral imperatives, is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations. The belief must be of a similar cogency or status to a religious belief, the ECHR jurisprudence is directly material and the limitations on the concept and extent of a philosophical belief can be derived from that, without the need to place any additional limitation on the nature or source of the belief."

In addition, many of the world's most prominent religious leaders have expressed their belief in global warming and in the importance of trying to stop climate change.  The Dalai Lama himself now says that the world's leaders must give the highest priority to the issue of global warming.  Earlier this month Pope Benedict told a United Nations world food summit that "the Earth can sufficiently feed all of its inhabitants" despite the "devastation" caused by global warming.  The World Council of Churches is calling on churches around the world to ring their bells 350 times during the Copenhagen climate change summit as a call to action on global warming.

Not only that, but some of the top environmental extremists associated with the U.N. actually want to equate the battle against global warming with religion.  According to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program, environmentalism should be considered to be on the same level with religion as it is "the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity."

But nobody is doing more to equate global warming with religion than Al Gore is.  Already dubbed "the eco-prophet" by environmental extremists, Al Gore is stressing the "spiritual side" of climate change in his new book.

In fact, Gore has developed specific environmental training programs for each of the major world religions.

Newsweek quotes Gore as saying the following regarding these training programs.....

"I've done a Christian [-based] training program; I have a Muslim training program and a Jewish training program coming up, also a Hindu program coming up. I trained 200 Christian ministers and lay leaders here in Nashville in a version of the slide show that is filled with scriptural references."

The truth is that belief in global warming is quickly becoming a global religious movement.  Those without blind faith need not apply.  A global treaty is about to be signed which will impose strict regulations on the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet to fight a threat which the science says simply is not there.  To question this insanity is to risk being branded as a heretic by the environmental extremists that control the United Nations and most of the governments around the world. 

The fight against global warming is now part of the official orthodoxy of the 21st century.  To question it is to question the very world system that we are all a part of.  The global elite intends to use this belief system to impose tyrannical regulations on the entire planet all in the name of saving the earth.

If you plan on speaking up about this you better do so while there is still time.

So just what is Eid al-Adha?

Well, Wikipedia defines the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha in this manner....

"Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

So Best Buy has no problem openly wish Muslims a Happy Eid al-Adha when they have been at the forefront of the war on Christmas?

If you will recall, way back in 2006, Dawn Bryant, a spokeswoman for Best Buy, made the following statement regarding Best Buy's decision to ban the word "Christmas"....

"We are going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be respectful of all of them."

Since that time Best Buy has decided that they can use the word "Christmas" but they continue to ban all uses of the term "Merry Christmas".

The truth is that Best Buy should feel free to acknowledge all holidays if they wish, but when they openly discriminate against Christian holidays that is not acceptable.

Please get this out to everyone that you know.  Perhaps when thousands of people express their outrage Best Buy will reconsider their hypocritical approach to religious holidays.

The brink of disaster?

Doesn't that seem just a little bit alarmist?

Well, the truth is that environmental extremists have resorted to increasingly strong language in an attempt to whip up the fear of climate change. 

Unfortunately, humans are not even causing climate change.  If you do not know this, then we recommend that you read the comprehensive article that we posted about this on our sister site entitled "How To Save The Environment? Get Al Gore The Heck Away From It". 

But even if humans were causing "climate change" (which they most certainly are not), there is still no justification for trying to reduce the population in order to fight it.

But apparently the authors of this new U.N. report are convinced otherwise.  The authors of the report were very clear about how they feel about the link between population growth and climate change....

"The importance of the speed and magnitude of recent population growth in boosting future greenhouse-gas emissions is well recognized among scientists, including the authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's reports."

In fact, the authors believe that population growth has been responsible for approximately half of the growth of carbon emissions....

"Still, calculations of the contribution of population growth to emissions growth globally produce a consistent finding that most of past population growth has been responsible for between 40 per cent and 60 per cent of emissions growth."

So according to the authors of the report, it is the growth in the human population that has brought us to the very brink of a planetary disaster....

"The harsh realities of high per capita emissions among industrialized countries and swiftly rising ones among developing countries highlight the urgency of mobilizing all of humanity to stop collectively at the brink of this possible climate disaster zone."

So what is the very best way to reduce climate change?  According to the authors of the report, each future person that can be eliminated can have a huge impact on reducing carbon emissions.....

"Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendents. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."

But the authors of the report also recognize that the idea of "population control" is very unpopular in many areas - but that also it is time to seriously address it as part of the climate change debate....

"fear of appearing supportive of population control has until recently held back any mention of 'population' in the climate debate. Nonetheless, some participants in the debate are tentatively suggesting the need at least consider the impacts of population growth."

So if "climate change" is the problem, who is the enemy?

Well, it turns out that humanity is the enemy.

The report is very clear that no human can ever be "carbon neutral"....

"No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."

Everyone is part of the problem?

So that means that the authors of the report are saying that you and I and are families are part of the problem.

The fact that we exist is part of the problem to them.

So what is the solution according to the authors?....

"Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."

In other words, we need to pass out more condoms, encourage more women to get abortions and tell more women they need to focus on their careers instead of their families so that we can get them to have less children.

You see, the term "family planning services" is just code in the report for things like "lower fertility rates" and "smaller families"....

"family planning services and supplies are especially powerful in delaying the age of first pregnancies and reducing the size of completed families"

The truth is that the report uses a lot of thinly veiled, politically correct language to suggest that in order to fight climate change, radical population control measures should be implemented.

For example, the report specifically mentions Barack Obama's top science czar, John P. Holdren, and his belief that population growth is driving consumption growth....

In 1991, physicist John P. Holdren, now chief science advisor to U.S. President Barack Obama, noted that "changes in settlement patterns necessitated by population growth result in more transport, per person, of resources, goods, and people," making a case that population growth directly stimulates consumption growth.

So what does John P. Holdren believe about population control?  Well, the truth is that he once co-authored a textbook entitled "Ecoscience" in which he advocated population control measures that are so extreme that it is hard to believe that a sane man authored them.  The following are real quotes from Holdren's textbook.....

Pages 787 and 788....

“Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would haveto meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.”

Pages 786 and 787....

“A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.

The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.”

Page 838....

“In today’s world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?”

Are you starting to get the picture?

Keep in mind that John P. Holdren is the number one science advisor in Barack Obama's administration.

This is the kind of stuff that the guy actually believes, and he is not being forced to resign.

The truth is that the Obama administration is fully behind the population control agenda.

Back in March, the Obama administration reversed the Bush administration's policy and directed that 50 million dollars be given to the United Nations Population Fund - the authors of the report discussed above.

So not only is the United Nations Population Fund promoting their populaton control agenda around the world, they are also using your tax dollars to do it.

WorldNetDaily is reporting that Ahmed Qurei, a former PA prime minister and member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization executive committee, recently said that the PA has "reached an understanding with important elements within the administration" to support a U.N. resolution unilaterally declaring the creation of a Palestinian State.

So what does Israel think about all of this?

Well, WorldNetDaily is also reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin is warning that such a move by the Palestinians would be met by "one-sided Israeli measures".  In fact, Netanyahu is reported to have said the following to a group of high level policy makers.....

"There is no substitute for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and any unilateral attempts outside that framework will unravel the existing agreements between us and could entail unilateral steps by Israel".

But not everyone in Israel is on the same page with Netanyahu.  Haaretz actually published a shocking editorial by Yossi Sarid which openly encourages the Palestinians to go ahead and unilaterally declare the creation of a Palestinian state.

In his editorial, Sarid makes this shocking statement: "He must declare, unilaterally, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Palestine now."

When Haaretz starts publishing this kind of nonsense you know that things are in a really sorry state.

Virtually the whole world is under the misconception that if the Palestinians are given their own nation that it will bring lasting peace to the region.

That is completely and utterly false.

There was no peace in the region before there was a "Palestinian problem" and there will not be peace once they have been given a state either.

The truth is that the Palestinians are obsessively and generationally committed to conquering every inch of the land of Israel at any price.  If they can get part of the way there through diplomacy or negotiations they will be glad to do it, but they will never be happy until they rule every single shred of the land of Israel. 

If you do not believe this, just read the following quotes from Palestinian authorities about the destruction of Israel.....

"The Islamic Land of Palestine is one and cannot be divided. There is no difference between Haifa and Nablus, between Lod and Ramallah, between Jerusalem and Nazareth. Dividing Palestine into cantons and giving recognition to the occupation is prohibited by Sharia (Islamic religious law), since Palestinian is Wakf(Islamic Trust) for all Moslems in the East and in the West. No one has the right to give it up or to forsake it. The liberation of Palestine is a mandatory obligation for all Moslems and not only for our Palestinian nation."(Shiekh Yuosouf Abu Sneina, the official preacher of the Al Aqsa Mosque, on Palestinian Radio April 30th, 1999)

"We may lose or win [tactically] but our eyes willcontinue to aspire to the strategic goal, namely, to Palestine from the river (i.e. Jordan) to the sea (i.e. the Mediterranean). Whatever we get now cannot make us forget this supreme truth."  ("Moderate" PA Minister of Jerusalem Affairs Faisal Husseini, March 21st, 2001)

"We are discussing the current problems and when we speak about Jerusalem it doesn't mean that we have forgotten about Hebron or about Jaffa or about Acre... We are speaking about the current problems that have priority at a certain time. It doesn't mean that we have given up... We have announced a number of times that from a religious point of view Palestine from the sea to the river is Islamic." (Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, Palestinian Authority appointed Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine, January 11th, 2001)

Hamas still wants “Palestine from the river to the sea” -- and believes in retaking the land from Jordan to the Mediterranean, including Israel. But on the way to that '”strategic goal,” he said, the group might back negotiations with Israel “under certain circumstances” and would support an “interim solution.”(Yasser Mansour, a Hamas candidate from Nablus, The Boston Globe, January 17th, 2006)

"It is forbidden for anyone, Arab, Palestinian or Moslem to forgo one grain of soil of the land of Palestine, Jerusalem and Al Aksa... Whoever forgoes even one grain of soil his sin is upon him, and all the sins of the Palestinians, the Arabs and the Moslems, forever and ever..." (Palestinian TV, September 8, 2000)

"We the Palestinian nation, our fate from Allah is to be the vanguard in the war against the Jews until the resurrection of the dead, as the prophet Mohammed said: 'The resurrection of the dead will not arrive until you will fight the Jews and kill them...' We the Palestinians are the vanguard in this undertaking and in this campaign, whether or not we want this..." (Palestinian TV, July 28, 2000)

"[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith… the Islamic Resistance Movement, which is aware of the [prospective] parties to this conference, and of their past and present positions towards the problems of the Muslims, does not believe that those conferences are capable of responding to demands, or of restoring rights or doing justice to the oppressed."(Hamas Charter 1987 - Article 13)

"The battle with the Jews will surely come... the decisive Moslem victory is coming without a doubt, and the prophet spoke about in more than one Hadith. And the day of resurrection will not come without the victory of the believers [the Moslems] over the descendents of the monkeys and pigs [the Jews] and with their annihilation." (official P.A. newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, May 18, 2001)

"The Jews are the Jews. There never was among them a supporter of peace. They are all liars... the true criminals, the Jewish terrorists, that slaughtered our children, that turned our wives into widows and our children into orphans, and desecrated our holy places. They are terrorists. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them and murder them, according to the words of Allah... it is forbidden to have mercy in your hearts for the Jews in any place and in any land. Make war on them anyplace that you find yourself. Any place that you encounter them -- kill them. Kill the Jews and those among the Americans that are like them... Have no mercy on the Jews, murder them everywhere..." (Palestinian TV, October 13, 2000)

Are you starting to get the picture.  The truth is that there are countless quotes like the ones above.  The obsession of the Palestinians to take that land is so extreme that it is really difficult for people in the United States or Europe to even comprehend it. 

Instead, politicians in the west just want to find a way for everyone over there "to get along".  That is simply not going to happen.

But now Barack Obama just wants to give the Palestinians huge sections of the land of Israel (including parts of Jerusalem), with the Jews only getting some worthless "peace guarantees" in return.

How much have any peace guarantees with the Palestinians ever been worth?

Nothing.

They break their promises at the drop of the hat.

The reality is that the Palestinian political and religious leaders hate Israel and they hate the Jewish people.

Nothing is going to change that.

The creation of a Palestinian state may briefly delay the coming Middle East war, but it IS coming.

But Barack Obama and his administration are in a state of complete denial, and they seem to have no fear of shaking their fists in the face of God by giving away part of the land that God promised to the people of Israel.

All the friends of Israel need to stand up now and insist that the U.S. government must NOT support a proposed U.N. resolution unilaterally declaring the creation of a Palestinian State.

Israel belongs to the Jewish people and nothing is going to change that.

Consider the 18 signs of America's stupidity posted below and then leave a comment with your opinion.....

#1) The U.S. government is supposed to be "by the people" and "for the people".  So to represent the interests of ordinary Americans, we have elected 237 millionaires to the U.S. Congress.

#2) As rich as the United States supposedly is, the truth is that half of all U.S. kids will be on food stamps during some point of their lives.

#3) The new airport security scanners that give security screeners a clear view of what your body looks like under your clothing also "tears apart your DNA".

#4) The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that landowners in Mississippi have "standing" to sue oil and coal companies for emitting greenhouse gases. If you are an American landowner now you can get rich by suing any company that emits carbon dioxide too.  Meanwhile every last ounce of U.S. heavy industry will race to move their operations overseas.

#5) Tens of millions of Americans follow Al Gore, the "eco-prophet" who is trying to "save the environment" by viciously attacking carbon dioxide - one of the fundamental building blocks of life on earth.

#6) The fear of "climate change" is being used as a pretext to get world leaders to sign the Copenhagen Treaty which would tranfer huge portions of U.S. sovereignty to international bodies and which would be a gigantic step towards world government.

#7) A new bill in the U.S. Congress would give the Federal Reserve (the very bozos who created the financial crisis) more power over the U.S. economy than any agency of the U.S. government.  Considering the fact that the Federal Reserve is a privately owned central bank that has been systematically draining the wealth out of America's middle class, is that really such a good idea?

#8) The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has stationed specially trained "behavior-detection officers" at 161 U.S. airports.  Anyone who has watched "Minority Report" knows that the idea of "pre-crime" does not work.   What kind of bizarre Big Brother police state are we creating anyway?

#9) With all of our amazing technological advances, the truth is that we still aren't smart enough to even deal with a raging epidemic of bedbugs in New York City.

#10) With all of our big talk about "the war on terror", we have still allowed radical Islamic jihadists to infiltrate every branch of the U.S. military. 

#11) In fact, the U.S. allows Islamic jihadist training centers to openly operate all over America. 

#12) Our Secretary of State believes that there are too many people in the world and that we need to start finding ways to get rid of some of them.

#13) The U.S. has abortion mills running all across the nation where employees are pushed to meet "abortion quotas" in order to boost profits.

#14) The CIA reportedly had a practice of sending terror suspects to prisons in Uzbekistan - a place where widespread torture practices include raping suspects with broken bottles and boiling them alive.  Then we have the gall to wonder why the rest of the world hates us so much.

#15) According to the Pentagon, more than a third of American youth of military age are unfit for service, mainly because they are too fat or sickly.  What a great generation of young men we have, eh?

#16) 45 percent of U.S. doctors say that they would consider shutting down their practices or retiring if Obamacare is ultimately adopted, the American people have been so outraged by the health care reform plan that there were near riots at town hall meetings all over the country this summer, and yet the U.S. Congress is still pushing it down the throats of the American people.

#17) One company in Arizona is reportedly freezing the heads of their customers when they die so that later they can bring them back to life and cure whatever had ailed them (or download their brains into a computer).

#18) Lastly, we are openly teaching our schoolchildren that it is perfectly acceptable to sing songs of praise and worship to our president.  Well, at least if he is a Democrat.

That is exactly the position that Al Gore finds himself in. The leading advocate of the theory of "man-made global warming" is also one of the people who would likely benefit the most financially from the implementation of a "cap and trade" carbon credit trading scheme.

You see, Al Gore is chairman of Generation Investment Management. David Blood, the former chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, is the CEO.

Thus the nickname - Blood and Gore.

Wikipedia describes Blood and Gore this way.....

Generation Investment Management LLP (GIM) is a London-based investment management firm with an investment style that blends traditional equity research with a focus on sustainability factors, including social and environmental responsibility and corporate governance.

It all sounds very noble, doesn't it?

But the bottom line is that GIM is about making money.  GIM owns a 10 percent stake in the Chicago Climate Exchange.  The Chicago Climate Exchange owns half of the European Climate Exchange.

Thus if the United States and Europe adopt a "cap and trade" carbon credit trading scheme Al Gore could potentially rake in billions of dollars.

If they don't, Al Gore's investment in these ventures could end up being worthless.

When asked about the financial incentives that Gore has to promote carbon trading in an appearance before Congress, Gore did not back down one bit.....

"Do you think there is something wrong with being active in business in this country?" the New York Times quotes Gore as telling Congress. "I am proud of it. I am proud of it."

Gore insists that he is completely committed to solving the problems caused by "climate change" and that he is not ashamed of being ready to make tons of money off of those solutions.....

"I believe that the transition to a green economy is good for our economy and good for all of us, and I have invested in it."

But is Al Gore ready to back real environmental solutions which would not make him money? 

Apparently those kinds of solutions don't appeal to him as much.  Just consider the following passage from a recent Newsweek article.....

"If we feed the biology and manage grasslands appropriately, we could sequester as much carbon as we emit," says Timothy LaSalle, CEO of the Rodale Institute, who presented at two summits. The political clash is this: if you tell people soils can be managed to suck up lots of our carbon emissions, it sounds like a get-out-of-jail-free card, and could decrease what little enthusiasm there is for reducing those emissions—as one of Gore's assistants told LaSalle in asking him to dial down his estimate. (He didn't.)"

One of Gore's assistants actually asked LaSalle to "dial down his estimate"?

What in the world?

Perhaps LaSalle's idea could really work.

But apparently since it would not make Al Gore any money it is not as good as the "cap and trade" carbon trading scheme which would dramatically raise energy prices for American consumers and which would further wreck the U.S. economy.

The truth is that Al Gore is going to keep positioning his money to take advantage of "green" legislation and he is going to keep using his political clout to tirelessly advocate for that same legislation.

As Al Gore's firm, Blood and Gore, starts to rake in billions of dollars as middle class Americans struggle to pay their power bills, perhaps it will be then that many Americans will finally learn the true meaning of this Al Gore quote..... 

"Reality does have a way of knocking on the door."
