An Explosion of Green Lies

November 25 2008

The election of Barack Obama has opened the floodgates to a deluge of propaganda by the many Green groups seeking to advance their various agendas


If you think you've been hearing and reading more and more Green lies about global warming and a whole range of other Green scares, you're right. The election of Barack Obama has opened the floodgates to a deluge of propaganda by the many Green groups seeking to advance their various agendas.

The mainstream news media folk who have not yet figured out that their credibility has long since gone into the toilet keep pushing this stuff and with exquisite irony-no doubt lost on these geniuses-NBC nearly killed one of its Today Show anchors in a stunt that dispatched all them to the far corners of the globe to prove that global warming was happening.

At the very same time, it announced that it was firing the staff of its Weather Channel's environmental unit! That's right, while the famed anchors were trudging up mountains, hanging out on glaciers or snorkeling reefs, the entire staff of "Forecast Earth" was laid off halfway through NBC's "Green Week." In all, some 80 people were cut, but it was the Forecast Earth staff that existed solely to spread global warming lies despite the fact that the real Earth has been in a cooling cycle since 1998.

Meanwhile, on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Ann Curry and more than a hundred local Masai porters were experiencing a dangerous condition called High Altitude Cerebral Edema in order to prove that global warming was causing the mountain's ice cap to melt. Everything about this idiot stunt was wrong from the gitgo.

If anyone on the Today Show had bothered to do any research, they would have known that the mountain's ice cap had been receding for years due to deforestation. In the October 2003 edition of Nature Magazine it was pointed out that, "Without the forest's humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine." Sunshine! On the Equator!

A June 2007 study published in American Scientist revealed that the melting of Kilimanjaro's icecap had been occurring for at least a century as forests were cleared for farmland. Indeed, most of the melting had occurred prior to 1953!

Curry, age 52, aborted the trek up the mountain that was intended to announce something that an NBC page spending a half-hour on Google could have told her was not just a waste of time, but a complete and total lie.

As the Obama administration makes ready to assume power, the Greens are going crazy with campaigns denouncing coal as "dirty" and demanding an end to the use of all plastic bottles, claiming that a life-threatening component exists. If this is so, don't you think we would know about it by now? Plastic, of course, is made from oil and that too has been stigmatized for decades by the Greens. The plunge of global oil prices has been about the only good news that consumers have had in weeks.

The new big lie is that millions of jobs can be created from Green sustainable or "clean" energy in the form of solar and wind power, but even with vast government tax subsidies and other incentives, neither of these has gained a foothold because they both require back-up generation facilities when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining.

The notion that electric cars will replace those using the highly efficient gasoline powered automobiles and trucks has been around since the late 1800s and the problem now is the same problem as then; the batteries which must be so large and so frequently charged that they are impractical. A new electric auto from a company called Tesla will cost you $50,000 to purchase. Only demented Hollywood stars will be able to afford them.

There will be no explosion of jobs from so-called Green industries and the real industries, like auto industries, are just blowing smoke up your skirt when they trumpet how Green they are. It is a marketing scheme, not science, and frequently a costly waste of money that could have been spent more wisely to benefit their investors.

I keep telling people that businesses large and small exist to make a profit!

At some point, when the economy reaches a truly horrid low point, people will begin to shed all the nonsense they have been taught in America's schools about the environment and start thinking about where the next rent or mortgage payment will come from. They will have noticed by then that, wherever they live, it is getting colder and the cold weather is lasting longer.

Over at the Weather Channel, the newly trimmed down staff will be tracking and talking about the latest blizzards burying cities and rural areas in snow.

Bloodshed and Death is coming to American Businessmen
In my 46 years on this Earth, I have never had to write such a frightening Op-Ed piece as this. Sadly, the state of affairs inside the US and its business community is such that remaining silent is no longer an option.
Put bluntly, bloodshed and death is coming. Brutal, violent, merciless. Perpetrated with malice aforethought. If I am right, many of you business folks - especially the folks at the top - are going to be the ones doing the bleeding and the dying.
How we got to this point is simple. How we stop it from happening is not so simple; but there is still a small window of opportunity which may help avert this.
It began with NAFTA and GATT. The whole "free trade" movement was sales-pitched to us common folk as a way to break down trade barriers so American products could be sold overseas with greater ease and competitiveness. The pitch told us that it would help American companies and increase American jobs. That sales pitch was a deliberate lie.
What was really afoot was a way for American corporations to significantly reduce their manufacturing costs by opening state-of-the-art facilities in third world countries, hiring third-world workers at pittance pay with no benefits, while maintaining sales prices. This allowed you folks to pocket huge additional profits.
Next, you corporate folks decided to jump on the "Diversity" bandwagon, Diversity replaced merit. Corporate productivity slid but no one could dare step up to say why for fear of being fired as a racist.
Diversity became and end unto itself and ultimately it was the straight, white male who suffered most. Straight white males were intentionally passed-over for jobs and promotions. When "downsizing" took place, it was the straight, white male cut loose so "diversity" could be maintained.
The last straw - and by far the worst betrayal - was the intentional use of illegal aliens and the intentional importation of foreign, cheap labor under the H1-B Visa system. Companies even went so far as to send their Human Resources people to seminars offered by law firms so they could learn precisely how to disqualify Americans for available jobs, in favor of importing foreigners!
Well, ladies and gentlemen of the business community, the chickens have now come home to roost.
Vast numbers of unemployed Americans, unable to pay their mortgages after losing jobs, began defaulting, causing foreclosures to rise.
Vast numbers of illegal aliens who were also given mortgages (by banks who feared being labeled racists if they declined to lend), defaulted on their mortgages too. This caused even more foreclosures.
As foreclosures grew, they affected the value of nearby homes whose owners suddenly found out they owed more than their homes were worth! When their mortgage companies demanded large, lump sum payments to pay down the excess mortgage, those folks could not pay and. . . . were foreclosed upon.
Long story short, these foreclosures caused the banking system to contract, which caused the credit markets to dry up, which caused everything else to go in the crapper. That's where we are today.
Where we're heading is unlike anything you can imagine.
Unlike the great depression of the 1930's, people today are quite well educated. We know exactly how this trouble happened and exactly who is to blame: YOU. The corporate hot shots who put profit over country; who put greed above loyalty and who cared not one wit about who was displaced, who was harmed, or who got shafted.
Unlike the great depression, people today have lost a lot more than just their jobs and homes. They've lost their retirement nest eggs, their children's college funds and worst of all, any chance at a better future. Therein lies a recipe for violence;. and folks, violence is coming - right at you.
You see, folks of today understand that allowing the great depression of the 1930's to take place without retribution against those who caused it, set the stage for this latest financial screw job.
As any parent can tell you, when being nice over bad behavior fails to stop such behavior, one must resort to punishing bad behavior to prevent future bad acts.
Punishment for what you have done is your due and folks out here in the real world are preparing to deliver it - right to your physical person on the doorstep of your offices and homes.
Thanks to the internet, we know who the CEO's and CFO's of all your companies are. We know who is on every Board of Directors. Thanks to information services like Intellius.com, we also know where all of you live. ALL of you.
Americans who have lost everything, have no reservation whatsoever about coming after you to inflict violence for wrecking their lives and our nation. In fact, I personally know of a "movement" of several groups actively recruiting the destitute from make-shift homeless centers, with the intention of organizing criminal violence against you. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, Nazis and White racist skinheads are seeing staggering growth in membership. I know. I've seen it with my own eyes. And you know what? I agree with "the movement" because I think what you've done stinks.
I will proudly stand with those groups when the time comes.
These groups are folks, right here in America, who have nothing left. They have lost everything, including all hope. They do not fear the police, jail or death. They certainly don't fear you.
More interesting, many of the people now facing utter destitution are US military veterans and they are helping the aforementioned groups prepare for what's coming. Through their contacts in the military, veterans in the groups mentioned above have gained access to automatic weapons, armor piercing ammunition, grenades, C4 plastic explosives, anti-personnel mines, rocket-propelled grenades and more!
I personally know one former US Army Combat Engineer in the National Alliance. I can't even begin to describe how helpful he has been to "the movement."
If you want an example of how frighteningly effective this movement has become, I can tell you for an absolute fact that the US Secret Service had to emergency-deploy eight (8) sniper teams around Grant Park in Chicago, IL on election night because a member of "the movement" was reportedly headed down there with military Mortars to attack and kill Barack Obama and his supporters! That's how bold, how brazen, how incredibly dangerous things are getting!
What good will the police or your corporate security forces be against these types of dedicated and committed, angry people? What good are the "safe rooms" you've built in your homes or office buildings when C4 and RPG's can blow right through them?
Last year, a listener to my talk radio show who is a gunsmith, thought I might like having an illegal silencer for my gun. He built one and shipped it to me! I have pictures to prove it!
Was it illegal? Yes. Did he care? No. Did I care? I won't say.
You have no idea how bad things are getting out here in real America. Trust me, if you don't do something now to step up and help the average people of this country, by the time you find out exactly how bad things are, it will be too late for you.
So I think you corporate folks would do well to seriously reconsider your actions over the past 15 - 20 years and decide whether you're going to help America or continue lining your own pockets? Are you going to bring the jobs back to America or continue using third world labor as your country collapses? Are you going to stop this bad behavior or are you going to have to be punished?
If you need help deciding, just ask yourself this: What good is all your wealth if an uprising of angry white males leaves you too dead to spend it? Oh, and if you think an uprising can't happen here, think again.
The bullet-resistant vests worn by police and your corporate security do not protect them from the paralyzing effects of a Tazer. Once the cops and security people are neutralized, your guns and those of the angry white males can do their thing. Since there are more of us than you, we win.
There's a fight coming. The cops can't stop it. The lawyers can't stop it. The courts can't stop it. The military is spread too thin around the world to be of any consequence and the government is too broke to fund any more homeland security.
But this fight doesn't have to happen. It can be avoided with a little national loyalty and a little compassion.
Get your Board of Directors together and ask what your company can do to help America for the next 24 months? Talk to your stockholders and ask their permission to cut dividends by half for the sole purpose of hiring more AMERICANS to jobs here in America.
Go on TV and tell the public what you're doing to make things better HERE, at home! You can recover from the horrid reputation you've gotten, and help resolve the horrid situation you have created if you'll only take some time to do the right things for the COUNTRY. A little corporate sacrifice will go a long way to help a lot of us little people. The gratitude and admiration it will generate will be priceless.
Of course, you are free to continue being impressed with yourselves as masters of the universe and keep right on doing what you've been doing. If that is your intention, then know now: The jig is up. Either get right with white males and America, or get your affairs in order.
