Have you ever felt that you were in a tunnel with lights approaching from both ends? That is how it seems that our country is situated with Obamacare rushing in from one end and Cap n’Tax (aka Waxman-Markey) coming from the other. Both are powered by the biggest government frauds launched in modern times. The endgame is total control of the economy and those it serves.
The Copenhagen climate change charade is drawing to a predictable conclusion of high drama at the eleventh hour. Preceded by days of communist and socialist demonstrations in the streets – green is the new red - things are proceeding according to the script. As Lord Monckton revealed some time ago, the haggard negotiators will emerge with “wan smiles” on their faces just as the world’s leaders arrive to celebrate the new consensus.
Actually, the Copenhagen agreement will be just a political showpiece that allows the countries’ bigwigs to posture in front of the cameras for home consumption. The real agreement will be signed sometime in the coming year with TBD publicity depending on how well the AGW hysteria can be maintained on the various home fronts.
Anthropogenic global warming has now received the required shot in the shorts to send everything about earth’s temperature data and predictions back to the drawing board. The latest Climategate revelation by the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis is that the East Anglia University’s Climate Research Unit used only 25% of the Eurasian temperature data, all appropriately cherry-picked and tampered with to support the politically prescribed global warming result.
Such revelations would blow the lid off of any true scientific enterprise, and make the participants retrench and re-examine their work. Instead, the Copenhagen conference is proceeding toward a new world order in its hermetically sealed, the-debate-is-over bubble. What Climategate?
Meanwhile back at the ranch (aka the Capitol), the rats are having a bit of problem in pulling together all the various promises and lies of Obamacare into something that can first get 60 votes in the Senate, and then survive the House-Senate joint committee to produce the hernia pack that Obama can sign in front of the choir shouting ‘O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!’. Perhaps at that time our President will show us where he has been keeping the “stash” of cash to pay for it all.
Both bills individually, and more so together, have the ability to sink America as the world’s leading economic power. And if such an event can be brought about within yet another ‘not-to-be-wasted crisis’, so much the better. The proclaimed promise to "fundamentally transform" the country will then be assured.
After WW2 the Socialist Party of America folded its tent; the reason was evident from a 1944 speech given by their perennial presidential candidate Norman Thomas (1962 photo) who said -
The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism”, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.
