Phil Valentine’s Bullet Points

* Since 1895, the media has alternated between global cooling and warming scares during four separate and sometimes overlapping time periods. From 1895 until the 1930’s the media peddled a coming ice age. From the late 1920’s until the 1960’s they warned of global warming. From the 1950’s until the 1970’s they warned us again of a coming ice age. This makes modern global warming the fourth estate’s fourth attempt to promote opposing climate change fears during the last 100 years.
* The National Academy of Sciences report reaffirmed the existence of the Medieval Warm Period from about 900 AD to 1300 AD and the Little Ice Age from about 1500 to 1850. Both of these periods occurred long before the invention of the SUV or human industrial activity could have possibly impacted the Earth’s climate. In fact, scientists believe the Earth was warmer than today during the Medieval Warm Period, when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland.
* What the climate alarmists and their advocates in the media have continued to ignore is the fact that the Little Ice Age, which resulted in harsh winters which froze New York Harbor and caused untold deaths, ended about 1850. So trying to prove man-made global warming by comparing the well-known fact that today’s temperatures are warmer than during the Little Ice Age is akin to comparing summer to winter to show a catastrophic temperature trend.
* Something that the media almost never addresses are the holes in the theory that C02 has been the driving force in global warming. Alarmists fail to adequately explain why temperatures began warming at the end of the Little Ice Age in about 1850, long before man-made CO2 emissions could have impacted the climate. Then about 1940, just as man-made CO2 emissions rose sharply, the temperatures began a decline that lasted until the 1970’s, prompting the media and many scientists to fear a coming ice age.
* A letter sent to the Canadian Prime Minister on April 6, 2006 by 60 prominent scientists who question the basis for climate alarmism, clearly explains the current state of scientific knowledge on global warming. The 60 scientists wrote: “If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary.” The letter also noted: “‘Climate change is real’ is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified. Global climate changes occur all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural ‘noise.”
* In 2006, the director of the International Arctic Research Center in Fairbanks Alaska, testified to Congress that highly publicized climate models showing a disappearing Arctic were nothing more than “science fiction.”
* “Geologists Think the World May be Frozen Up Again.” That sentence appeared over 100 years ago in the February 24, 1895 edition of the New York Times.
* A front page article in the October 7, 1912 New York Times, just a few months after the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, declared that a prominent professor “Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age.” The very same day in 1912, the Los Angeles Times ran an article warning that the “Human race will have to fight for its existence against cold.” An August 10, 1923 Washington Post article declared: “Ice Age Coming Here.”
* By the 1930’s, the media took a break from reporting on the coming ice age and instead switched gears to promoting global warming: “America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-year Rise” stated an article in the New York Times on March 27, 1933.
* The media of yesteryear was also not above injecting large amounts of fear and alarmism into their climate articles. An August 9, 1923 front page article in the Chicago Tribune declared: “Scientist Says Arctic Ice Will Wipe Out Canada.” The article quoted a Yale University professor who predicted that large parts of Europe and Asia would be “wiped out” and Switzerland would be “entirely obliterated.”
* A December 29, 1974 New York Times article on global cooling reported that climatologists believed “the facts of the present climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign near certainty to major crop failure in a decade.” The article also warned that unless government officials reacted to the coming catastrophe, “mass deaths by starvation and probably in anarchy and violence” would result. In 1975, the New York Times reported that “A major cooling [was] widely considered to be inevitable.”
* On February 19, 2006, CBS News’s “60 Minutes” produced a segment on the North Pole. The segment was a completely one-sided report, alleging rapid and unprecedented melting at the polar cap. It even featured correspondent Scott Pelley claiming that the ice in Greenland was melting so fast, that he barely got off an ice-berg before it collapsed into the water. “60 Minutes” failed to inform its viewers that a 2005 study by a scientist named Ola Johannessen and his colleagues showing that the interior of Greenland is gaining ice and mass and that according to scientists, the Arctic was warmer in the 1930’s than today.
* According to data released on July 14, 2006 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the January through June Alaska statewide average temperature was “0.55F (0.30C) cooler than the 1971-2000 average.”
* In August 2006, Khabibullo Abdusamatov, a scientist who heads the space research sector for the Russian Academy of Sciences, predicted long-term global cooling may be on the horizon due to a projected decrease in the sun’s output.

Talk about brainwashing, indoctrination and fear mongering! Some national and international elitists, money changers, power brokers, the United Nations, Europe, socialists, radical environmentalists and the one-world-order crowd, aided and abetted by a news media that has lost any semblance of journalism ethics, have perpetrated one of the greatest frauds in the civilized history of mankind. But worse, the American government, at every level, who are supposedly constrained by our Constitution and every American politician who espouses, supports or endorses this nonsense, is complicit in this fraud and the propaganda that propagates it.

Little kids are scared to death that the boogie-man of Man-Cause Global Warming is going to flood their homes, kill their parents and leave them destitute, hungry, homeless and all alone. Disenfranchised and unrepresented rural American landowners have lost virtually all of their property rights, due to draconian environmental land use regulations ….. regulations that are based on another fraud, that we must protect every damn wetland in existence today, even if the wetland was caused by man in the first place. It is a fraud for one very basic reason that no one ever mentions. Just a short 10,000 years ago in geologic time, one-third of the Earth’s surface was covered by an ice sheet over one mile thick. Underneath that ice there were no lakes, streams, rivers, or wetlands and there was little to any wildlife whatsoever. Somehow the Earth managed to survive without all those wetlands and it will continue to survive whether we save wetlands or not. In fact, the Earth will even survive the miniscule effect that mankind inflicts upon it. Did you know that man’s foot print on the North American Continent is less than 5% of the total land mass. And that foot print took over 200 years to materialize. Don’t you think that if that foot print rose to 10% over the next 200 years, there would still be a whole lot of land left for the wild creatures and all their little creatures?

And no, man is not causing global warming, in spite of the unmitigated lies you are being fed, by those who are hell-bent on controlling you.

This same fraud, perpetrated by government and special interest groups, is forcing inefficient wind and solar power energy sources upon us, that require more fossil fuel energy to build, require huge government subsidies to be viable at all and represent a insignificant fraction of the total energy we consume. In the meantime the policies from this fraud are sucking the energy needed to keep our economy humming by very efficient sources of energy from hydro, nuclear, oil, coal and natural gas, and they are being seriously inhibited or prohibited all together. A country without sufficient energy is a third-world country, subject to all the vagaries of third-world countries and banana republics.

And this insanity about outlawing incandescent light bulbs and replacing them with very environmentally unfriendly, mercury-laced, fluorescent bulbs that require special, expensive disposal handling, is beyond any reason or common sense. Who are these people who make these off-the-wall decisions?

Now you may think that we are against environmental stewardship, but you would be wrong. Our motto is:

Protecting the Environment is Laudable. Trashing the Constitution to do it is treasonous.

So In celebration of this fraud and communist propaganda that is “Earth Day”, we are increasing our carbon foot print and turning on every light in our home and business. We will not fall prey to worldwide propaganda and unbridled hysteria, because those in power, who want to control every aspect of our lives and are the very perpetrators of the fraud and the propaganda, says it’s so. Americans must choose. Will they be the marionettes controlled by the almighty government, or will they be the puppeteer that pulls the “strings” ON government?

Wake up Americans, or you will find yourself in chains, if you aren’t already.

OBAMA WANTS TO DESTROY AMERICA

While doing my job the other day, a co-worker and I began a conversation about our economy. Since the subject was brought up by my co-worker, I let them speak at length… with me just adding an occasional, yeah, uhuh, right… you get the idea. The basic premise that was being put forth by my co-worker is that ~deep breath~ Obama, has really at this point done nothing for the average American worker… now I stress WORKER and not potential or current governmental employee.

What he has done is implemented a bunch of government projects that in some cases end, and in others, produce things that only our government wants or has determined in the best interest of OUR country. You can not export clean air regulated by a government. You can not produce a product that other countries don’t want and for that matter, CARE ABOUT in the first place.

Prime example is nuclear energy. France is the leader in nuclear powered energy. WHY? Because it is cheaper, more efficient and yes… CLEANER than all other energy combined. But here, in the states, we care about the environment, and government regulations make it prohibitive for private industry to even TRY! TO EVEN TRY to produce a more efficient, cleaner way.

Now follow me if you can… If America could find a better way to produce nuclear power, that would be something that other countries would want, NOT GREENER CARS!

Its like the stupid freak n Superconducting Super Collider that they (United Stateds of Pork Gut Spending), started building out there in… what the hell what it… Waxahachie, Texas. After billions and billions of tax payer money and thousands of empty jobs the project was put on hold.

What am I saying… this is what I’m saying. America needs to be producing something other then government mandated jobs and start putting money back into the private sector for real long term job creation that will produce products that the rest of the world wants to buy. We do not need any more governmental regulations that mandate that government money should produce a government product that is only viable in freak’n America.

And another thing… I don’t want me or my children and their children and their children’s, children to own any house that is not theirs. I do not want to take part in a multi-billion dollar bailout of every ass that bought a house they know that they could not afford. Not my responsibility pal. I look at it like this… Every one of us who had enough common sense, and did not buy something beyond our means is being punished for being prudent, cautious… or knowing that 1+1 will never equal anything but 2.

Thats enuff for now….

Now its MANNING TIME!

787 Billion Dollar Voodoo Bill:

Other people are now saying what I was saying over two years ago:

By Dr. Laurie Roth Tuesday, February 3, 2009

The global elites, the greens, the global warming crowd, those obsessed with the alleged, earth crises are strange bed fellows and slimy parts of the alien monster working against our country! These people really do have a plot to control our country and world. When you dig further and really study the beliefs, people and behavior of these seemingly unrelated groups and efforts, you see classic socialism/communism. We should be screaming against these groups and movements not talking!

The truth if I may

There is no desperate concern for Mother earth! There is no emergency about animals, special insects and plants disappearing! There are no Polar bears dying because of a wave of warm water flying by. There is however, obsession for power and control. There is major money to indoctrinate our children’s minds towards, green, global and international thinking. There is almost criminalization of being an American and of learning and celebrating our real history! It is becoming more and more selfish to achieve. Think of all the energy, money and efforts you use to invent or achieve something? Someone else doesn’t get something simply because you created something to solve a major problem, create jobs or entertain the world. Shame.

Kids and adults are learning from kindergarten on up these days that we must focus on “sustainability.” We must focus on the endless suffering of others…. especially outside our borders, while avoiding that selfish thing called achievement. I remember when I lived in Japan for a while many years ago the saying on many school walls “pound down the nail that stands up.” After all, you don’t want to really excel and leave your mates behind to be embarrassed.

I just interviewed, this week Holly Swanson, author of Set up and sold out, who warned of the extreme control agenda of the greens and conquest to indoctrinate our children. In one of her articles with newswithviews.com she quoted Anthony Cortese, President of Second Nature, one of the key groups pushing for education for Sustainability. “And humans are guided by a whole set of beliefs and values, and those come from culture, from religion, from social, economic, and political structure. We need to change all of those.” Swanson said that the Greens are using our education system as simply a TOOL to make our children adapt to NEW goals that will change America……once again, a perverted obsession with internationalism; a new religion; a new and global political structure; and training to use up to 75% less resources, no doubt including water and food.

Precious goals of these groups

Demonization of sovereignty, land ownership, freedom and even control of our life style, choices of what we eat and drink are the precious goals in these group’s bulls eye. Many of us are too busy living, struggling with bills and life to really notice the overall push taking huge pot shots at our freedoms.

In related attempts at control are the environmental psychos going after land grabs. They cry at the feet of Mother earth, wet lands, clean water acts, save the animals, etc. Among many are the Huge BLM NCLS land grab;Yukon to Yellowstone land grab; and HR 2421 Clean Water Act (Wetlands). There are many more bills and attempts in the planning. I have interviewed many times land rights activist and leader Chuck Cushman, landrights.org and he lists on his web site the many bills and attempts at land grabs all across our country, all using manipulative tools, potential eminent domain and more slippery strategies. We are talking many millions of acres which is including the renewed push again for the Y2Y/Yellowstone land grab oh yeah….right where I live. If this or any of these nightmare land grabs get through, you would see new rules about how land was to be used, new fees or controls on hunters, on other sportsman, businesses and farmers.

The false religion of globalism and environmentalism is simply the age old effort and push for socialism/communism. On the surface, hoping to fool the naïve and needing to please, sheep in America are the cries to deal with a land crises, animals going extinct, carbon emissions destroying the atmosphere and creating dreaded pollution. Then there are the little kiddies simply starving around the world. Their hopes are through lying propaganda, indoctrination in our schools, entertainment and speeches that you will feel like and evil jerk for not focusing on the earth, other countries and the feelings of snails.

New Idiot laws and rules for this environmentally, green and global world:

* The international goal is to keep us all barely alive, use less energy and eat less food.
* Stop carbon emissions by bankrupting our coal industry.
* Force new fees for just the privilege of driving cars that hurt the environment and aren’t hybrids. Some wackoid groups are already considering a tax for drivers driving through heavy congestion areas in big cities.
* Control and stop achievement by litigating, taxing and regulating inventers and achievers out of business. After all, achieving and freedom is too threatening to the lazy masses and to Government domination.
* Tax all animals on farms due to the lying obsession again with carbon emissions.
* Bankrupt more farmers and control the rest, what they grow and don’t grow.

The pathetic and sad truth is, that the more we allow these globalist/greens to take over land and rights, we will appear more and more like a sick socialist whore, marching toward the 3rd world in look, style and finance rather than bringing the struggling world up to our level. Oh my…..that was hate and arrogant speech wasn’t it?

The truth was and always has been, that America is far from perfect and has worked through many mistakes, but IT HAS BEEN OUR ENTREPENUERIAL SPIRIT, OUR WEALTH, OUR COMPASSION AND GOODNESS, OUR ACHIEVEMENT, LOVE FOR FREEDOM AND JUDEO/CHRISTIAN HERITAGE that has truly been a light on a hill; an encouragement and open door for the masses; offered new inventions, solutions and assistance to the world and even forgiven and rebuilt those who attacked us in previous wars.

Finally, it has always been and still is critical that we are sensitive to our environment and animals while reaching out to the rest of the world. The best way to achieve this is to continue to allow wealth, achievement, our innovative spirit, independence and to lift up our true spiritual core…….not Islam, not new age, not secularism, but our judeo/Christian values with backbone.
