Climate bill (vanity)
Bitter lil' old me | June 26, 2009

Posted on 06/26/2009 9:54:20 AM PDT by La Lydia

The House just called up and began to debate the global warming bill. Waxman is waxing forth, blathering about "job growth" out of both sides of his mouth. But what is on TV: Michael Jackson (entertainment) and Governor Sanford's (titillation) cabinet meeting. BO making nice with Angela Merkel (Yerkel and Merkel). Even Fox is ignoring the nuts and bolts dismantling of our country and our economy today?

Thanks, Fox. I expected better of you. Who in the world is calling the shots at the remaining legitimate cable news channel? Where are the adults? Why am I having to watch CSPAN? I watched the Russian news on Mhz today and THEY had more on the climate bill than our news channels have.

What the media isn’t telling you...

Cap and Trade is really Tax and Control for every aspect of human activity. It will be the final nail in the coffin of American liberty.

For those who are unfamiliar with it, some agency (probably the EPA) will decide how much carbon is going to be created by any activity. For example you have a manufacturing business and each wigit requires x amount of energy, they will tell you how many you can make. If you want to make more, you must buy carbon credits from an exchange. Or since plowing a field results in carbon dioxide being released from the ground, you will need carbon credits for each acre plowed. So a farmer might need 10 credits to plow all his land but only be allocated 5. He needs to then buy more. Or he can plant nothing, and sell his credits on an exchange. In effect they have created a new commodity out of thin air, created a huge new tax, and total government control of everything.

There is also a wealth transfer component of the plan. Supposedly every person who makes less than 30k per year will get a direct cash subsidy from the government, on the proposition that they use less carbon that rich people. That’s how the RATS hope to buy support. Of course people won’t realize how much the increased cost of everything they buy is due to this scheme.

Finally, these exchanges will take a cut from every trade of credits. Those investors are set to make untold billions from this. Among the largest early investors in these exchange businesses is...Al Gore. What a shock.

Yep. Not only can we say good-bye to barely affordable electricity and fuel, we can say good-bye to affordable food, too.

There are many pieces of the “disassemble America” puzzle. In the Great Lakes region we have a czar now, or we soon will, whose job it will be to implement EPA regs. This is the last thing we need. Here in Michigan we’re pushing 15% unemployment in the first place. Then, most of the state, including our lakes, is pretty much pristine. We have significant amount of farm land, which will be regulated to the point of nonexistence, no doubt. What does all this mean? What industry we have will go, right along with agriculture, and we’ll not be able to attract anything new. Anyone who believes one iota of this legislation is good for the country is seiously fooling themselves.

Makes me wonder if Michael Jackson’s doctor was in Rahm Emanuel’s circle of friends.

Now..., don’t forget this mandatory video documentary... :-)

It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...

THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...


The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

“The Great Global Warming Swindle”

If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3635222/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
[this is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size...]

It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.

Also, see it online here...
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php
[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course...]

Buy it here...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WLUXZE
[this one would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...]

Also, in split parts on YouTube...

Well, once again, I’ll give Drudge credit. He has deep sixed Michael Jackson, for the moment at least, and is headlining Nancy Pelosi and the climate retard bill.

Once again, he’s almost the only one out there who is giving us the news about these idiocies.

Apparently the police are looking for that doctor as we speak. Something about a shot of Demerol. I wouldn’t be surprised if the White House and Dems in Congress had friendly doctors like that.

Congress will go down in flames if this or any other bills Obama wants is passed. Regardless of what the people want; Congress will go. The MSM will go too.

Yeah, the lethal dose of Demerol was perfect timing for the progressives to begin raiding the coffers with their marxist agenda.
