Tree hugging commies and hippies. spit....

While everyone was laughing at Archie Bunker, I used to consider that he was right about a lot of his ideas. Not the racist ones, but he certainly was right about hippies.

When economies collapse and hunger and starvation sets in, people will be ripe for anyone that promises a fix. I think the history of Haiti could serve as an illustration here.

On June 2, as Congress debated global warming legislation that would raise energy costs to consumers by hundreds of billions of dollars, the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) released an 880-page book challenging the scientific basis of concerns that global warming is either man-made or would have harmful effects.

The scholarship in this book demonstrates overwhelming scientific support for the position that the warming of the twentieth century was moderate and not unprecedented, that its impact on human health and wildlife was positive, and that carbon dioxide probably is not the driving factor behind climate change.

The authors cite thousands of peer-reviewed research papers and books that were ignored by the IPCC, plus additional scientific research that became available after the IPCC’s self-imposed deadline of May 2006.

Lithuanian reactor shutdown opens door to Russia plans.

To Lithuanians, however, the twin concrete reactor blocks of the Ignalina plant, rising amid lakes and oak forests near the country's eastern border, have been a symbol of energy independence since the small Baltic country regained its freedom after the 1991 Soviet collapse.

That is why the EU-ordered shutdown of the plant's last working reactor — considered too similar to the one that exploded at Chernobyl in 1986 — (even though Lithuania spent $800 million refurbishing the plant, gs) is making Lithuanians uneasy.

They now face the prospect of importing energy from Russia, considered an unreliable energy partner by many after its state-owned gas company shut off supplies through Ukraine last year and in 2006 over price disputes.

Lithuania will wake up Jan. 1 with 40 percent less generating capacity, a gap that has set off a race to build new, safer nuclear plants to supply electricity to the Baltics and Eastern Europe, a race Moscow is trying mightily to win.

On top of that, Lithuanians will pay more for electricity at a time when their economy is in a deep recession.

Abdulmutallab and the Obama Mindset.

When Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was placed on the British government's watch list in May 2009 and banned from entering the country, the U.S. embassy in London (and by extension the U.S. State Department), as well as U.S. intelligence agencies, were notified of this move as part of information-sharing agreements entered into by a number of Western governments after the September 11, 2001 attacks, says a U.S. State Department employee on the condition of anonymity because of concern that by speaking about the situation, their job could be endangered.
-------------------------------------------

This employee says that despite statements from the Obama Administration, such information was flagged and given higher priority during the Bush Administration, but that since the changeover "we are encouraged to not create the appearance that we are profiling or targeting Muslims.
--------------------------------------

"I'm not saying that this kind of screw up might not have happened in the Bush Administration," the State source says, referring to the Christmas Day snafu. "I'm just saying that a number of us were encouraged to have a different mindset about such intel and such individuals, and today, we are encouraged not to have that same mindset."

Diversity visas.

The State Department roster of all countries whose nationals have received "diversity visas" to immigrate to the United States in 2010, for example, shows that 2 of these immigrants will be from Luxembourg, 3 from the Solomon Islands, 4 from French Guiana, 5 from Reunion, 6 from Cape Verde, 7 from Malta, 8 from Guinea-Bissau, 9 from Comoros, 10 from Suriname--and 72 from Yemen.

Nationals of the four states listed by the State Department as state sponsors of terrorism--Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria--also received "diversity visas" from the State Department to immigrate to the United States in 2010.

These include 98 from Syria, 298 from Cuba, 1,084 from Sudan, and 2,773 from Iran...

One last post and I'll leave you folkds alone for a while.

Don't know if this link works.

Citizens of Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Sudan and the Gulf Co-operation Council states may enter Yemen without a visa. At least two thousand al Qaeda fighters, from Yemen, that fought in Iraq against our troops, returned home no questions asked:

Paraphrasing Pogo, "we have met the enemy ... and she wears a pants suit."

Don't try to get on at State unless you are and uber-liberal 100% person and can pass a screening that determines you to be just that.

Any other jihadist that wants to, from the above named countries, can go to Yemen for terrorist training, no questions, no tracking.....

By returning Gitmo Yemenis back to Yemen so they can repeat their terrorist acts against us all over again, Democrats have politically corrected themselves to accept American citizen deaths as acceptable losses (GI and citizen). It's not an opinion, it's Obama policy.

Inviting more Yemini's in among us who may overstay their visas and scatter within the 50 states is downright dangerous.

There are thousands coming here legally by the truckload as children/cousins/wives/sisters/ ad nauseum of US citizen Yemenis.

But Americans have to get an entry visa to enter Yemen......hmmm. Who do you think the government of Yemen considers their enemy to be?

Not only that jihadists who have fought in Afghanistan or the Balkans have little if any trouble moving about most anywhere in the mideast.

We never talk about places like Paraguay where there are muslim training camps that also teach the Spanish language and give undercover muslim jihadists passports with Spanish sounding names.

Concerning the watch list and no-fly policies of the Obama admin; over half a million on that big list of possible terrorists and they have moved "dozens" onto the do-not-fly list.

DOZENS? 3 DOZENS is 0.0072%. That press release is supposed to make us feel safe, that Obama has it all under control???

Let's see if TOTUS tells him to say dozens. The next administration will have a prosecution field day should Holder set the precedent.

From this list.

NIGERIA = 6,006

BANGLADESH = 6,001

GREENLAND = 2

Some Middle Eastern/Northern Africa online news websites, in Arabic, have the usual news stories about al-Qaeda and other Islamic terrorism or attempted terorrism somewhere in the world--like the underwear bomber over Detroit.

Then of course there is the comments section for reader feedback. No shortage of these in some cases are online jihadists wannabees (in words at least, maybe some actually in action) and go on to praise the terrorist act(s) talked about, "Allahu Ahkbar", "Power to the Brothers", "Thus always to infidels", all this kind of crap. (Keep in mind now, all of this is in Arabic.)

And right off to the side is, in one or two cases, a floating internet ad, with Obama's photo, in English, placed apparantly by the State Department or a broker of some sort, encouraging people to sign up for lottery system FOR VISAS TO LIVE IN THE U.S.A. under this so-called "Diversity Visa" system of the U.S. Government.

I FREAKING KID YOU NOT.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, 52% now disapprove of Reid while only 35% approve, his worst ever.

Seventeen points is a lot to overcome, notwithstanding he is a long time incumbent and even with a five or six point boost from dead acorns he is a dark horse jackass in this years race.

Geithner's fielding a fresh round of criticism after e-mails surfaced last week that showed he forced insurance giant AIG to keep quiet about tens of billions of dollars in payments it made to several Wall Street banks -- payment that represented full payouts funded by taxpayer cash that the banks otherwise wouldn't have received.

The payouts were first revealed a year ago and were seen by many as a "back-door bailout" of Wall Street by Geithner. It was only learned last week that the Treasury chief moved to cover up the payouts.
--------------------------------------

For people like me, (and probably most of you), if I do the crime then I expect to do the time.

It doesn't seem to be that way for top government officials, expecially in this administration.

If they get caught violating the law, then the worst that can happen is that they have to resign, in which case they will more than likely be rewarded with a postition with their crooked friends that pays a huge salary.

1. Divert critical CIA resources and spy satellites away from hunting terrorists to track global warming.

2. Release captured al Qaida terrorists from Gitmo (most of whom were caught on the battlefield in Afghanistan) and send them through America's criminal court system.

3. Rather than aggressively interrogating captured al Qaida operatives for vital intelligence (which actually works), give them lawyers and plea bargains while politely asking them to betray their allies.

4. Misrepresent one terrorist attack after another as a random crime by a "victim of stress" or an "isolated extremist" while tirelessly perpetuating the myth that Islam is a "religion of peace."

5. Put airline passengers through absolute hell to avoid enacting policies that actually work...like giving extra scrutiny to those who have committed virtually 100% of the attacks on our airlines--young, Arab, Muslim men.

6. Create a culture of fear within the CIA by vindictively prosecuting agents who fail to read foreign terrorists their non-existent rights.

7. Surrender missile defense as Iran and North Korea go nuclear with impunity.

Yes but it isn't that simplistic.

Even investing SS income into treasury notes might be a bandaid on the terminal hemorage we are currently experiencing.

Don't tell me you believe in the urban mythical lock box.

How did Goldman Sachs report profits of $100+ million daily during a recession last summer for a record 47 days, (and still counting the last I checked.)?
