DOES DOBBS HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES?

“You know, I have heard a lot of reasons over the years as to why George W. Bush should be impeached,” Dobbs said. “For them to leave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in this state, its leadership in this sorry condition and to have no capacity apparently or will to protect the American consumer – that is alone to me sufficient reason to impeach a president who has made this agency possible and has ripped its guts out in its ability to protect the American consumer.”
Thus, the one time dispassionate reporter of the financial news on CNN, has turned to "bare knuckle" opinions on the Bush Administration. He could be an Obama backer for all of his Bush bashing!

"It’s insane what’s going on here,” said a visibly angry Dobbs on his TV show, Lou Dobbs Tonight. “Is there any sense of embarrassment on the part of the leadership of that agency?”

On June 18, Dobbs called the FDA “excessively intellectually challenged.” The night before he called the FDA “moronic.”
“The FDA, led by complete moronic, unengaged incompetents,” Dobbs said on his June 17broadcast. “The idea that they would sit there and say that they’re not going to reveal where a cluster of this outbreak occurred, this is arrogant beyond belief. Who in the world do these idiots think they are? Who do they think they’re working for?”
This type of ranting sounds strangely similar to that off Ross Perot or Dennis Kucinich. Apparently, Dobbs is full of himself enough to be rumored to make a run at National office in 2008. Maybe he will try to be another spoiler by running as a populist candidate for president. A small town boy(Rupert Idaho) who made it big in New York come back to help the middle class?


Well, perhaps Dobbs should do his homework before he mouths off! The man responsible for the safety of the foods we eat is a London infectious disease MD, who became a U.S. citizen and was hired, by The FDA, during the Clinton Administration.
Dr. David Acheson, is Chief of Food Safety for the FDA , having assumed that position in 2002 when it was a newly created position in the FDA. He is somewhat of an expert on the bacteria e-Coli, and it is his responsibility to inform the public of any outbreaks of Salmonella or e-coli in food products.
As such he is considered the number two man at the FDA.


His comments on our food supply are pertinent to Dobb's indictment of President Bush.
"Our food supply is really incredibly safe," Acheson emphasized. "We all eat food three or four times a day or more, and we don't get sick but rarely. Billions of servings of all kinds of food get consumed without any problem."

Yet new challenges are looming, he acknowledges, including today's very efficient distribution systems of foods from foreign countries like Mexico..

Despite the fact that Dr. Acheson is in charge of food safety, it appears from reading the transcript of Dobbs program, that he is really after the head man, Dr. Andrews von Eschenbach, a close friend of President bush who assumed the position as head of the FDA in the middle of a verbal "fire storm" with the Democrat controlled Congress over the contraceptive"Plan_B'. The Democrats wanted it to be sold over the counter, FDA insisted it be a prescription drug, as it should . They were also angered by an FDA report that alleged marijuana had no medicinal properties.
So this $5 million dollar a year man is just carrying waater for the Deamoncrrats in my opinion!

DRILL NOW OR CHINA WILL!

It is time for all Americans to say no thanks to the Arabs. For decades the USA has relied on tankers to transport thousands of gallon of crude oil, and sometimes even refined gasoline from places like Iran and Saudi Arabia. The huge tankers are bigger than battleships, and they dock in major port cities to offload their cargoes. There has not been a major oil spill since 1969, when the Valdez ran aground because the skipper was allegedly intoxicated and asleep!

Geologists that specialize in estimates of potential oil resources, have stated that we have almost three times the amount of untapped oil in the offshore fields below the Gulf Of Mexico. Ecologists claim that drilling will damage sea life, and the hurricanes will break down the oil rigs causing catastrophic oil spills.

If hurricane Katrina only damaged some pipe line leading to the refineries in Louisiana, and did not cause any significant damage to the oil rigs themselves. This become a specious argument!
The claim that drilling for oil will damage our beaches, I live in Florida, is ridiculous. Try to find a beach that is not concreted over with condominiums. There is less and less available public beach available, and the deadly red tide that occurs periodically in the gulf causes the death of hundreds of sea animals and fish.
Forget about the ecology arguments. They would be happy if we had to all ride bicycles!

Our Governor, Charles Crist, has called for a repeal of the moratorium against off shore drilling, and he is supported by 75% of those who live here!
The issue is mute anyway, as Communist China is NOW exploring off the shores of the Gulf states to locate oil. When they do, they will start extracting oil for their oil hungry growing economy. While we listen to fools like Senator Reid who had this to say about this issue.
"We cannot drill our way out of this problem," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat. "The math is simple: America has just 3 percent of the world's oil reserves, but Americans use a quarter of its oil. And the Energy Information Administration says that even if we do open the coasts to oil drilling, prices wouldn't drop until 2030." And to think that this idiot heads the Senate is mind boggling! His figures and statistics are either lies or stupidity!

Experts say that if we drill now we could be independent of the Arabs and Venezuela in two years. Not because we will have the oil to fuel our economy, but because once the Arbitragers and mega-wealthy speculators learn that we are drilling their interest will wane and they will move on to another commodity. The price will drop rapidly, and in five to ten years we could be like Russia is now. An oil GIANT!

We should also start drilling in ANWAR immediately. When we began the Alaskan pipe line the ecology commies cried we would destroy wildlife, but in the decades since the pipeline became operational that fear has not materialise either!

WE are talking about opening 2,000 acres of 20 million acres in the North Tundra. This is less than .01% of the total land mass available to Caribou and polar bears. This area could provide 10 billion barrels of crude oil!

Leftists like the anointed Barrack Obama, insult the American public intelligence by saying, that drilling would be "A solution based on old ideas". I am here to tell you that there are many old ideas that hold this Republic together. Just a few are: Traditional Americanisms like patriotism, a stong military, the idea that Free Enterprise trumps Darwin Socialism, and Independence is much better than Dependence on some one else!

A KAMIKAZE SUPREME COURT

During World War II, the leaders of the Japanese military and those surrounding the Emperor were followers of the Shinto cult. Japan also had Buddhists, Confucius followers and few other sects, but the Shinto's ruled.
Shinto's asserted Japan's superiority over all other nations. It maintained that the Japanese rulers, and the Japanese in general, were descended from the Sun Goddess. Emperor Hirohito (before his spectacular postwar rehabilitation at the hands of the General MacArthur and the U.S. Occupation) was reviled in wartime America.

The willingness of the Japanese soldiers, particularly the kamikaze (the " Devine wind of the gods" suicide pilots)to sacrifice themselves for the emperor was devastating. This fervor killed many thousand American troops, and disgusted and terrified Americans.

Fast forward 63 years, and we have another kind of religious warrior. The Muslim terrorist bomber, who straps on explosives and walks into a crowded public place and blows himself and everything and every body around him/her to eternity!
This new version of a Kamikaze does not fly an airplane loaded only with enough gas to get him to his target, and the rest of the plane filled with explosives. He/she is the instrument of destruction! In both the Japanese and Muslim situations it is a warped religious fervor that allows them to perform their heinous acts.


Today we here in the USA, have a very un-supreme court that is playing the role of a Kamikaze on the instrument that was the foundation of the this free country. The Constitution! The ruling passed down last week on Boumediene vs. Bush by the Kennedy led court, was as much of a destruction to our Constitutional as was the Kamikaze plane that slammed into the Bunker Hill aircraft carrier in 1944!

Prior to this left wing attack on the Constitution, aliens had no rights under the Constitution that guides and protects citizens of the United States of America. But with a stoke of Kennedy's pen, non-citizens who have never set foot in the United States, even alleged terrorist aliens, get special constitutional privileges because they were caught trying to kill Americans.


Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer,all leftists who vote as a block, dictated that Americans must regard enemies as if they were just criminal defendants, entitled to an exacting legal process including access to discovery, witnesses, counsel, etc.—This decision will make it impossible to detain them without shutting down interrogations prematurely and possibly informing the enemy of our national-defense secrets. I ask you, what was their justification for this decision, other than a fervor for the Deity of the Left. Destruction of our Constitution, and to substitute One World Government!
"The runaway" justices say that foreign AL-Qaeda killers, detained in Cuba can have access to the federal district courts and demand what, suddenly, are their unearned Constitutional rights.

In those courts, judges emboldened by the high court’s usurpation of Congressional and Presidential war powers, may be emboldened to make decisions as they go along: More access to classified information? Subpoenas commanding the testimony (and cross-examination) of our soldiers regarding the circumstances of capture? Miranda warnings? Prompt access to counsel,speedy trial ad nausea.

Sensational trials in the criminal-justice system with the same presumptions of innocence, privacy, and other privileges vested in American citizens? And who will adjudicate the resulting mess? Our imperial court, of course.” source:—National Review

We are at war, At least 75 Senators, including Kerry and Hillary and 296 Congressmen voted for the war in Iraq. During combat approximately 10,000 prisoners have been captured. Of this group about 800 have been sent to Guantanamo, Cuba where they can be interrogated to obtain information that might save the lives of the men and women who are voluntarily in Iraq and Afghanistan to fight the terrorists.
Since their capture 100 plus prisoners have ben released with a promise they would not return to the war sites. Intelligence reveals that at least 30 have returned to Iraq to kill more Americans!

If what the "Kennedy five" did with their decision was not the equivalent of Judicial murder,it was a bold attack on the war effort that we must win. That makes the Kennedy sycophants at the very least, giving aid and comfort to the enemy!


the judiciary simply has no power over enemy combatants in wartime. Such power is committed to the executive as part of the commander in chief's power, and thus implicitly denied to the judiciary, just as is the power to declare war is unilaterally committed to Congress.
Kennedy's ruling thus effectively overturned the congressional declaration of war -- the use of force resolution voted for by Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, 75 other senators as well as 296 congressmen. If there's no war, then there are no enemy combatants. This is the diabolical arrogance of Kennedy's opinion.

THE FINAL QUESTION WE MUST ASK OURSELVES, IS DOES CONGRESS DECIDE WHEN WE GO TO WAR, OR DOES THE SUPREME COURT? AND AFTER WE ARE AT WAR, DOES THE COURT HAVE THE RIGHT, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, TO DECLARE THAT INCARCERATED PRISONERS ARE ENTITLED TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NEVER IN THIS COUNTRY UNTIL CAPTURED?

WE HAVE BECOME A CULTURE OF DEATH!

"DO NO HARM" is part of the philosophy and rationale within the Hippocratic oath that once was the standard by which all M.D.s practiced their profession.
"I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. " A phrase that apparently has been cast aside by abortionists and those who assist in Euthanasia!

Thank God most of them(MDs), still believe in the sacred trust they have to do all they can to bring a patient from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.

There are those whose attitudes toward babies in the womb, and old people who are either inconveniently ill and require expensive and time consuming care, or have some physical or mental defect, is that they should be "helped" to get on with their death!

The partial birth abortion involves putting a surgical scissors into the fontanel of the baby's head( a place where the skull bones have not joined together) and sucking out the brains! This is done because the baby has been determined to either be deformed or has a genetic defect that it probably will become a Downs Syndrome baby. So it is killed!

We have more and more people immigrating to this country. The population is exploding with immigrants, and many are elderly. The population has not grown because there are too many births. Abortion kills a million potential doctors, nurses, and any other occupations you can think of, that this now dead baby will never get to be. Perhaps a President!

The increase in the elderly population puts strain on the business of Medicine, and a big drain on the public Treasury in costs for Medicare and Medicaid. How can we pair this down?

Why not eliminate the infirmed, terminally ill and chronically sick old people? We can say we are helping them along, so they don't suffer. Some may even want the help in ending their lives because of pain or despair.

In the last 40 years this Country has gone from the religiously based country it was founded as, to a godless, secular, relativist and hedonic politically correct amorphousism. We have lost sight of the sanctity of life, and substituted, this precious gift from the Almighty, with: "It is my body, and I will do what I want with it and to it"! Freedom has been substituted by license! WE have become a country that has lost it's moral compass!

In 1997 the State of Oregon passed the first Law allowing the murdering of old and infirmed people. It had it's restrictions. Such as, the person wanting to end his/her life would have to submit a written request two times. Their requests had to be 15 days apart, and they had to have two witnesses signatures. One of the witnesses had to be a relative, OR heir, attending doctor, or a person connected to a health care facility.
Sounds to me like an orderly at a hospice and a nurse could decide they needed more beds, so we will get rid of Herman in room 666 who is dying of emphysema, and keeps the other patients awake at night with his constant coughing!

Now from the "Left Coast" comes another petition to kill old and sick people disquised as a way to assist those who want to die in dignity! The petition is called, "Initiative 1000", it would allow doctors to administer lethal drugs to patients who couldn't do so themselves.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) "There isn't much John Peyton can do on his own except speak, and soon he'll lose even that.

The former Boeing computer programmer has Lou Gehrig's disease, which progressively paralyzes its victims. His doctor gives him three to six months to live.

He is using his last months to oppose a ballot initiative that would allow physicians in Washington state to help terminally ill patients end their lives. Only Oregon has such a law.

"What we're really doing, I believe, is attempting to eliminate the sufferer so we don't have to deal with them," Mr. Peyton said.

Supporters must collect about 225,000 valid voter signatures by July 3 to get the "Washington Death with Dignity Initiative" on the November ballot. The campaign has raised more than $1 million, more than enough for a successful signature drive, setting up a fiercely fought and emotional campaign.

Those in favor of the measure say it's not meant to encourage people to end their lives prematurely. That's what they say publicly!These are the same type people who decry capitol punishment and demonstrate against the war in Iraq, but killing old people is fair game! What a slippery slope to h##l we are taking!


"They are realistically accepting that their death is imminent," said Barbara Coombs Lee, president of the Portland-based group Compassion and Choices, part of the coalition supporting the initiative. "Knowing that, they want to protect themselves from unnecessary and unbearable suffering."

Outside Oregon, advocates of the idea, fortunately haven't fared well. California, Michigan and Maine voters rejected the idea, and bills have failed in statehouses across the country. But how long will it be before the Supreme Court declare it is a violation of the Constitution to forbid the"right" to kill oneself?

And to top it off, convicted killer Kevorkian, now paroled, will run for Congress in Novemeber!

ROCK STARS DRAW LARGE CROWDS, BUT WOULD YOU WANT ONE TO BE PRESIDENT?

"McCain's speech was creaky, ungracious, and unnecessary," conservative blogger Amy Holmes wrote at National Review. "Watching McCain, I couldn't help but think of the astonishing contrast Barack's triumphant speech to a massive and adoring crowd will be. It was not a comparison McCain should have invited."

Republican strategist Alex Castellanos admitted that night on CNN, "It could have been a little more vibrant, let's face the facts."

The large Obama rallies offer a sharp contrast. Attendees are treated to an upbeat soundtrack, cheer loudly and do the wave while waiting for the candidate. They often are asked to arrive hours early owing to security screening and if they want to get a good seat".

THE PREVIOUS QUOTE FROM THE WASHINGTON TIMES, ILLUSTRATES THE ABSURDITY OF THE MEDIA ATTENTION BEING GIVEN TO BARRACK OBAMA.It also illustrates how shallow those who report the "news" to us are in their reporting. Style, not substance seems to be the important character needed to be president. If these reporters were alive and active in Franklin Roosevelt's time. They would have reported that he is nothing but a cripple who is too weak to lead the nation!

Rock concerts and singers like Kenny Cheslie, and Faith Hill draw huge crowds in the thousands to hear them perform. Obama is something of a Media star because the Media wants him to win, and shows him only in a positive light. None of the negative items like his voting record, pro-abortion, and amnesty positions are high lighted in Obama's coverage. All we here is the empty promises of change and unsubstantiated promises of more government "free bees". Utopian promises that hit the right cord with a disenchanted youth who are a large part of his audience at most rallies.

The media and Dr. Dean of the Democrat Party have adopted a "Obamamessia" identification with their anointed candidate for President. Not unlike the idol that The newly crowned US Open golf champion. Tiger Woods, has rightfully earned in the golf world. Tiger Woods proved his ethereal abilities on the links by what he has done, and all those who love the sport of golf acknowledge his pre-eminence in the sport. He is probably the best golfer to ever play the game!

But Obama's status is a product of "Madison Avenue" and rock star proportions. He has done nothing in his political life to prove that he deserves to be president of this great country.

Obama has the premiere leftist record of all the U.S. Senators. A liberal rating of 100%. He would look good on the ballot of Germany or France , and maybe Great Britain, where Socialism is a popular form of government. But, here in the USA, where at least 50% of us cherish our freedoms, he is nothing less than a tax and spend, redistribution of wealth, empty suit who speaks eloquently!

USF A HAVEN FOR MUSLIM TERRORISTS?

Ever since the early 1990's when former USF professor Sami Al Arian established the Center for Islam Studies in a rented house on Pampas Place in Tampa. The influence of CAIR and alleged terrorist agents has plagued USF.
First there was Al Arian, who was accused of funding Islamic terrorist groups. He was later acquited because of a hung jury,but he pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
He was finally removed from the USF faculty, after two years of "administrative leave" granted by the politically correct president of USF, Betty Castor.


Now an Egyptian college student(USF) who videotaped himself showing how to turn remote-controlled cars into bomb detonators has agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge of providing material support to terrorists, according to a plea agreement filed Friday. Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, one of two students arrested after a traffic stop in South Carolina in August, will enter the plea at a hearing next week in federal court in Tampa.


Youssef Megahed, 21, and Ahmed Mohamed, 24, were charged Aug. 6, 2007, with possession of an incendiary or explosive device. Mohamed said in court they were carrying fireworks.
South Carolina authorities say the students had a pipe bomb and related bomb making paraphernalia in their car when they were stopped Aug. 4 for speeding.


"Megahed and Mohamed, were pulled over about seven miles from the Goose Creek Naval Weapons Station, which houses a military prison for enemy combatants! I guess they were going to put on a fire works display for their Islamic brothers, YEH RIGHT!


One week later, Aug. 11, the FBI searched a home at 12402 Pampas Place in Tampa, owned by Noor and Ana Salhab. Authorities said the search was related to the case involving the two students.


After the Pampas Place house was searched, Noor Salhab told reporters the FBI seized a number of items, including a gas tank for a lawn mower, a telephone, his son's computer and some pipe.Pipe bombs made with gasoline, nails and explosive powder are some of the terrorist's bomb materials.

Federal court records show Salhab leased the house in the early 1990s to World and Islam Studies Enterprise, a think tank run by Sami Al-Arian, the former USF professor accused of funding Islamic terrorist organizations.It is also a meeting place for WISE, world of Islam studies!

Also appearing before the grand jury was Ahmed Bedier, who has served as a spokesman for the Megahed family. Bedier is executive director of the Tampa chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations(CAIR) and is a frequent media spokesman for Muslims and Islamic causes".source:Charlotte Observer

To illustrate how dangerous these people are, one of the defendants uploaded a video to U-Tube that showed how to make a bomb!

Mohamed stated that his purpose in producing and uploading the video to YouTube was to teach "martyrdoms" and "suiciders" how to save themselves so they could continue to fight the US military in Arab countries, the plea agreement said. In the 12-minute video, Mohamed discusses in Arabic and shows how to dismantle and rewire a remote-controlled toy car to make a detonator, the document said. "Instead of the brethren going to, to carry out martyrdom operations, no, may God bless him, he can use the explosion tools from distance and preserve his life...for the real battles,"

Perhaps it is time to do more thorough background checks on College applicants, particularly at USF!

THE ARROGANCE OF THE WOULD BE WORLD LEADERS

Despite the majority vote against the EU treaty in Ireland. That should have effectively killed the EU Treaty by their referendum. The Eu Bureaucrats appear to be ignoring the will of the people and their resounding NO vote!

British sources said that the EU summit is likely to conclude that the Irish vote is a problem for the Irish government, not the rest of the EU.
"The Irish government will have to go away, and think about how to proceed, but the rest of us will keep going," said a Foreign Office source.
Jose Manuel Barroso, the Portuguese president of the European Commission, insisted that treaty would not be stopped.
European leaders were making plans to find a legal way around the Irish 'No' vote.
This is an excellent example of the arrogance and dismissive attitude that the elitists, who become part of the "apparatchik"government of the "ONE WORLD" advocates.

The statement relates to the European Union, but the concept is applicable to all those who don't believe in individual "STATE" rights of Counties. Those who become members of the leadership of a "QUASI-WORLD LEADERSHIP" become part of the group that believes in the secularist humanist cult. This group has no real concern for the people they are supposed to represent, because they are devoted to the cause of world domination.
These people are dedicated to the control of all peoples, by the governing body that they are a part of. The De**l be damned what the people at home think, as is evidenced by the quote above by Jose Manuel Barroso.

This man is an advocate of alternate fuel usage, or penalty taxation of those who fail to comply. It is quoted by sources close to the EU,that the average Britain will have to pay 730 pounds in fees/taxes to comply with the EU proposals to reduce carbon emissions.

Some sources say that Britain would have to build two windmills per day, to comply with the carbon savings dictated by the EU before the 2020 deadline.

I Think we should Only Tax the people that believe carbon gas is Bad for the Planet.These Green Fools should wake up, get out of the city, and smell the clean "backwoods",forest air. We can only fight this ECO Beast created by Al Gore and his followers,if we all pull together as a Team. Breathing Tax is not beyond comprehension in the minds of the environmental

freaks!!
This reminds me of the Beatles song called, “The Tax Man”, Which as I recall, goes, “Just hope they don’t tax the air you breath…Tax Man”!!!!!


From John D. Dingell of Michigan, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, to ba-zillionaire mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg and now U2 frontman Bono, we endure calls for a carbon tax.

So thick is the hype, so deep is the indoctrination, the New York Times went out of its way to declare that “everyone is using the atmosphere like a municipal dump, depositing carbon dioxide free,” in other words the very fact you are breathing is detrimental to the planet.


Al Gore has declared the discussion over, even though, as Paul Joseph Watson notes, “over 100 prominent scientists who have signed a letter slamming the UN move” toward a carbon tax “as a futile bureaucratic scheme” and “pointing out the results of a recent study in the International Journal of Climatology which concludes that climate change over the past thirty years is

largely a result of solar activity and that attempts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are irrelevant. But then elected and appointed officials seldom listen to the facts, because money and power talks louder!

TIME TO LOOK AT COMMODITIES REGULATIONS?

The media is full of stories about various Congressmen and Senators announcing that they are proposing to spend taxpayers money on investigating various subjects from professional sports to the major oil companies.

I don't subscribe to the Federal government sticking their noses in private business, other than to follow charges of violations of the Sherman anti-trust exemption of a particular industry.

The problem with investigations in general, is that they seldom result in anything other than media exposure of those who seek to "puff-up" their own egos. Media exposure seems to be the life blood of too many occupants of the American Congress.
Having said this, and being a capitalist by philosophy, I hesitate to bring up the subject of Congressional investigation. However, the situation we find ourselves in today dictates a break from my normal line of thinking.
The price of crude oil is now $139.00, and food products have been increased as much as 40%. This presents the greatest threat to our economy and way of life since the Great Depression!

Congressman, of the liberal persuasion, have leaped to the conclusion that Big Oil is resposible. It is only natural that those of a socialist persuasion would attack capitalism as their object of scorn. But in this case simple research could lead these same leftist to the conclusion, that I have come to believe is the cause for our dilemma. This brings to mind the famous quote by Abraham Lincoln:" You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

The problem we have with the high cost of crude oil and therefore, gasoline and natural gas, is the free enterprise system has allowed the speculators, arbitragers and commodities brokers to bid up the price of crude oil.

In the Commodities Markets of Chicago( the largest)and New York, they have traded commodities like pork bellies, cotton, orange juice and grains for decades. The market allows people to sell long and sell short with the bet being that whatever commodity is purchased, will be higer or lower in price when the contract they buy comes due.

Then the Ecologists screamed global warming warnings, and politicians fell for the scare tactics, and hatched the bio-fuels subsidy schemes. Farmers stopped growing wheat and soy beans, in favor of growing government subsidized corn for ethanol. Food prices slowly rose, and then the media began screaming that we were faced wih a depletion of the oil in the ground if we didn't conserve, and the stage was set for the Wall Street boys to enter the game!

"For decades, oil was too cheap. Until 1999, a barrel went for less than $10 (€6.40).Then the rising economies like China, India, Russia and Brazil stimulated demand for oil, driving up the price.. But what really changed the market were the big pension and investment funds joining in the commodities market "merry go round". Source: Der Spiegel

Oil is the lubricant of our economy. As it keeps getting more expensive, the engine of the economy begins to stall. And wheat and rice, as staple foods, are truly essential to human life. As they become more and more expensive, poor people must go hungry or, in some cases, even starve as in Somalia, from famine!



In late 2003, commodity brokers invested only $13 billion in the food commodities business. By March 2008, that number had jumped to $260 billion, an increase of 1,900 percent.

Last year, new investments in the commodities markets amounted to roughly $100 million a day. At the beginning of this year, what had been a steady flow turned into a torrent, with more than $1 billion flooding the market every day. Hedge funds, banks, pension funds, investment funds -- in other words, groups that represent millions of small investors -- are all involved. At first they invested their money in the dot-com market, then in real estate, and now agriculture and the energy markets are their choice.


Speculators -- and speculation bubbles -- have always existed, as a look back in history shows. What is new is the sheer volume of speculation, numbering in the billions, in recent years.

This has something to do with modern financial markets and their instruments, known as derivatives, which major American investor Warren Buffet has rightfully described as "weapons of mass destruction".
But these weapons are only effective because the central banks have created the necessary environment. Never before in history has the world been deluged by such a flood of money. The largest employee fund in the USA CALPERS has heavily invested in oil and food products futures.
There are over 300,000 different securities being traded each day on the World's markets.

It is the "Wild West" of investment in the commodities markets, with litile or no controls on the amount of money that is invested by hedge funds. They may have perverse financial incentives, with litle of their own capital involved in the hedge funds they are manipulating.Traders use every excuse they can think of to drive up prices!


Because of the weak dollar and the high price of oil. The new defacto currency has become crude oil!
Since the commodities market now operates on expectations not on actual value like stocks, massive amounts of borrowed money can be invested . This creats a huge bubble that at some point could burst. And much as I hate to say it, the Federal Governement should spend their time examining this investment vehicle, to determine if the proper regulations are in place to prevent another crisis like the sub-prime mortgage debacle!

AND STILL THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM KYOTO!

The most recent report released Friday from, The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, reveals that the USA is not the World's largest polluter of the atmosphere as many would like you to believe. Rather, it is a country that for no good apparent reason, was exempt along with India, from the protocols and restrictions dictated at the Kyoto Global Warming Conference.

China has now clearly overtaken the United States as the world's leading emitter of climate-warming gases, a new study has found. The increasing emissions from China - up 8 percent in the past year - accounted for two-thirds of the growth in global greenhouse gas emissions in 2007, the study found.

The difference had grown to a 14 percent difference, and that's indeed quite large," said Jos Olivier, a senior scientist at the Dutch agency. "It's now so large that it's quite a robust conclusion."

"Worse, China's emissions are likely to continue growing substantially for years to come, because they are tied to the country's strong economic growth and its particular mix of industry and power sources", the researchers said. Source" The International Herald Tribune


It is interesting to note that while the United Nations is pressing USA diplomats to reduce emissions of coal fired plants,80 percent of the world's coal demand comes from China, according to the International Energy Agency.

With the high price of oil and gas more processing plants, especially those in countries without nuclear power generators, are looking to coal for a more economic way to produce energy in the form of electricity. This brings with it a Catch 22 situation for our military-industrial complex!
For decades, oil was too cheap. Until 1999, a barrel went for less than $10. Of course, rising economies like China, India, Russia and Brazil have stimulated demand, driving up the price of oil. But what really changed the market/price, were the big pension and investment funds.

Searching for secure and long-term returns, major investors turned their attention to the commodities indexes, investments that promised substantially higher returns than investing in the stock market. The more the funds invested, the higher the prices went, especially since the market for speculative commodities securities is very small. Even minor shifts in the portfolios of large mutual funds can quickly drive up the price of oil.



With the knowledge of the above facts, as the weeks and months go by, it becomes more and more apparent that the whole Global Warming scheme is a bait and switch method of redistribution of wealth from the countries who have wealth to those so called "third world countries".
The demand of trillions of dollars to help "poor" countries to cope with the high cost of food resulting from conversion of food grains to bio-fuels is just one of the redistribution schemes hatched by the cadre of "One Worlders" behind this movement.

Then there are those who have jumped on the "band wagon" because of the carbon credits scheme that can be manipulated as is the commodities market today with the oil crisis.
Lost in the shuffle of all this high powered planning is the average tax paying American. Who speaks for him? Not the Congress of the USA while controlled by Democrats in the pocket of Environmentalists, and the RINOs of the same ilk!

Time for Americans to wake -up and get rid of those schemers in Washington who have lost touch with us church going, bible carrying gun owners! Time to clean house or get ready to lose the fight for freedoms!

THE SUPREME REASON NOT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan.

For years as a child, when traveling in my parents car to visit my mothers parents in farm country.I would see billboards loudly proclaiming "Impeach Earl Warren". I thought they were strange, so I asked my father who Warren was and why did they want to "impeach him? He responded that, President Eisenhower nominated Warren for the Supreme Court, despite the fact that Warren had no prior judicial experience.

Despite his lack of qualifications, he was sworn in as Chief Justice on 5 October 1953. During his tenure, the Supreme Court ruled on
BROWN VS BOARD OF EDUCATION(1954) AND MIRANDA VS ARIZONA(1966).
Both decisions were monumental and controversial at he time of he decisions. Thus the signs were posted by those who believed Warren was a liberal taking the Country the wrong way.

Compared with what the five leftist judges did this week, the Warren Court seems almost conservative. The Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The "supremes" have lately been acting as though were real SUPREMOS beings, with Almighty power over the Constitution of the United States.
Their decision to grant the same rights to suspected terrorists captured during a time of war, is a heinous distortion of rational thought.

These prisoners held captive in Guantanamo Bay are not citizens! If anything, they are terrorists waiting for the opportunity to deal a deadly blow against America.
Despite this, the un-supreme court, has with a bizarre decision, granted these prisoners the same rights that,those of us who are citizens have as a birth right!

It is at a time like this that a quote from Abraham Lincoln should be recalled. "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

Over throwing five Supreme Court Justices is an effort that would be almost impossible to accomplish. But we can do one thing in November. WE can be sure that we don't allow a man who has spent much of his pre-Washington days associating with known Marxists, and has since being elected to the U.S. Senate, amassed the most liberal voting record of all the Senators.

If we wish to give what is left of our freedom away, one decision at a time. We will elect OHObama in the Presidential election in November.


The five justices of the Supreme Court have so foolishly and treasonously given the US Constitution extra-territorial effect, and applied civilian criminal law theories to the battlefield, where military law and the law of war (quite different from civilian criminal law) is the appropriate standard. This is what comes of appointing agenda-driven lawyers for the ACLU,and Obama would only contribute more of the same!

So those of us who cherish our freedoms, must put aside all other political items being mentioned in the campaign and vote to keep the Supreme Court out of the hands of the Marxist/Leninist of the American left. Vote against Obama, if not for McCain!

SAUDI'S ANTICIPATE A CHANGE IN ATTITUDES

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan.

From The London Telegraph WEB SITE comes this information.
"Saudi Arabia today called for a summit of oil producing countries and consumers to discuss how to prevent oil prices from soaring further, following last week's surge to a record high of $139 a barrel.

The country's Information and Culture Minister, Iyad Madani, said that the kingdom would work with OPEC to "guarantee the availability of oil supplies now and in the future".

In a statement following the weekly meeting of the Saudi Cabinet, Mr Madani said the current price of oil was unjustified and pledged action to prevent further "unwarranted and unnatural" price hikes.

The price of a barrel jumped by over $10 on Friday - the largest ever one day increase - as the dollar weakened further and tensions escalated between Israel and Iran, the world's fourth-largest exporter.


The Saudi's could not care less about the pain that their monopoly of the oil industry has on the average American!
What this meeting is all about, is to try to preserve their profit margin that they have obtained by being one of the three major suppliers of crude oil to the world.
This past year has been a bonanza for the Arab Country's, and equally so for Russia. Their oil is being marketed to unheard off heights!Partialy due to speculation, but mainly because of rapid increase in demand from China, USA and India.

No one in his or her right mind would have thought that a strong, viable and prosperous Country like the USA, would have let it self get into such a mess energy wise.

Even though contiguous land, and off shore areas, contain more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia and Iran combined. The leftist environmental movement has managed to stifle the exploration and recovery of crude oil for over 40 years!

The first refinery in over 35 years is just now being built with great opposition from the environmental zealots.

The Arabs read the newspapers, scan the Internet and watch TV, and they realize that the voting public in the USA is getting tired and anxious over the high cost of gasoline and natural gas. Diesel, that is used primarily to keep food products moving to the market is more costly than gasoline. As a result the cost of food and everything associated with delivery of foods and products are sky rocketing. People are having to cut back on their grocery purchases to pay for gasoline to get to work!

The Arabs know Americans are sick off it, and fear that the "sleeping giant" that is the "silent majority" in America, is waking up!It will not be long before voters are screaming to drill for oil here in the United states. Bumper stickers are being printed now with just the word,"Drill Now"!

Americans want clean air, but they must eat and go to work, and realize that energy deposits under our own soil and off shore could make us independent of the Arabs in 10 to 20 years if Congress would just listen to them not the leftist ecology zealots!

If Congress doesn't open up the locks that have been placed on the drilling and refining of crude oil, they will have a revolution on their hands. No, not a shooting revolution, but a revolution that will clean house of all those who cater to Environmental lobbies and not the will of the people.

As once was said, "open your windows and say I have had enough"! Drill now!!!!!

THE DISGRACE FROM OHIO ROARS!

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world,
THEY NEED YOUR PRAYERS WITH IDIOTS LIKE KUCINICH(DEM. OHIO) IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich defied his party leadership on Monday by calling for the impeachment of U.S. President George W. Bush for launching the Iraq war -- but his move was not expected to go anywhere".


The Ohio representative outlined his intention to propose more than two dozen charges against Bush on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.He has no partner in this travesty as House Democratic leaders have repeatedly said, since winning control of the chamber in the 2006 elections, that they would not consider any effort to remove Bush from office.

Kucinich, a former presidential candidate, accused Bush executing a "calculated and wide-ranging strategy" to deceive citizens and Congress into believing that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States".

This move to impeach the President is despite the Speaker of the House's admonition not to try to pass a Bill of Impeachment against Bush. Liberals,aka,Socialists, like Kucinich, take no orders from anyone in their quest to destroy what they perceive as an obstacle to their quest for total government control over our lives.

THIS TRAVESTY OF A LITTLE MAN WAS VOTED ONE OF THE TEN WORST MAYORS OF MAJOR CITIES
IN THE UNITED STATES WHILE HE SERVED HIS ONE TERM AS MAYOR OF CLEVELAND.
He is notable for his unpatriotic actions that include visiting Syria's president al-Assad, voting against the Patriot Act, being the only Congressman voting against the Resolution honoring the victims of 9/11. He also voted against Rothman-Kirk Resolution calling the UN to declare Mahmoud Ahmmadinejad guilty of genocide. He and Ron Paul were the only ones to vote against this resolution!

Despite his hatred for Bush, as evident from his lame attempt to impeach him. This weasel of a man voted against the Impeachment of President Clinton! But he signed a letter of solidarity, along with other Congressional leftists, in 2004 showing support for Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. A hater of Bush and America, who supports Hamas and al-Qaeda!

The list of anti-American actions goes on, but the above list should give you enough information to deduce that this man is a disgrace to the Congress of the United States and an example of how screwed up Cleveland must be, to send this little worm to Congress.

Today is the 71st anniversary of the execution, by Joseph Stalin, of eight of his General Staff for conspiracy against Stalin. Kucinich should be glad he lives in a country that allows the freedom to speak his mind , no matter how heinous his words are. If he lived where he would like to take the USA, he would be taken out and hanged or shot!

WHY I DO NOT WATCH PROFESSIONAL SPORTS

The world of professional sports is being rocked to it's very depths by a former referee of the National Basket Ball Association, aka.NBA.
The allegations about the 2002 series were contained in a letter filed by a lawyer for Donaghy, who pleaded guilty last year to felony charges alleging he took cash payoffs from gamblers and bet on games himself. Donaghy, 41, faces up to 33 months in prison at sentencing on July 14.

Without identifying anyone or naming teams, Donaghy also claimed the NBA routinely encouraged refs to ring up bogus fouls to manipulate results but discouraged them from calling technical fouls on star players to keep them in games and protect ticket sales and television ratings FOR WHICH THE LEAGUE RECEIVES BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR.

"If the NBA wanted a team to succeed, league officials would inform referees that opposing players were getting away with violations," the letter said. "Referees then would call fouls on certain players, frequently resulting in victory for the opposing team."

Donaghy's lawyer has sought to convince a federal judge in Brooklyn that Donaghy, of Bradenton, Fla., deserves more credit for coming forward before he was charged to disclose behind-the-scenes misconduct within the NBA. The letter, filed Monday, suggests prosecutors have hurt Donaghy's chances for a lesser prison term by downplaying the extent of his cooperation.

Both Donaghy's attorney, John Lauro, and prosecutors declined comment.

The league said the scandal was limited to Donaghy and two co-defendants, both former high school classmates who also pleaded guilty to gambling charges. source: My Way News

The denials are to be expected, but as a professional sports fan who now has switched to the College sports, because I have suspected for more than a few years that professional sports administration( Commissioners) has decided that they are in the entertainment business not he sport business.

As a result the basketball, baseball and football professional game, are filled with alleged criminal associates and people who despite repeatedly violating the laws regarding steroid use, are allowed to continue playing. The career of Ricky Williams, Rodney Harrison,and Shawne Merriman in football, and baseball's current home run king are examples.

Too many games have been decided in the hands of officials. Questionable calls at critical times, usually at a deciding point of the game, has led me to doubt the honesty of the game.

There are billions of dollars bet on professional sports. It is too bizarre to believe that this huge pool of money bet every week has not been tapped into by professional gamblers!

Th players make millions and the officials work for "peanuts". All in the same game, that makes the league administration hundreds of millions each year.Why not give the officials a chance to make a "tidy sum" on critical games? This is the place where organized crime could find an opening!

My point is not that all officials are guilty of "managing" the game. All it takes is few officials who officiate "key" games each week. Games that attract a lot of attention, especially gamblers!

But the players should not be given a free pass either. There are too many instances when good receivers short arm receptions for an incomplete pass at a critical point of the game. Or a missed block on a pass play could result in a fumble or a lose close to the goal line. Players must be included in any investigation of "funny business" in professional sports.

I don't usually advocate government interference, but some independent unbiased agency should look into what I believe has become the biggest attraction for the "mob" since prohibition!

IS OBAMA A CITIZEN OF THE USA?

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan.

IS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE A CITIZEN?« previous entry | next entry »
Jun. 11th, 2008 | 03:49 pm
The following quote was posted on the internet today by a man named Geraghty. It raises, if true, a condition that would make Obama unqualified to be President. I am not posting this with the full knowledge of the story being true, but to prompt bloggers all over the Country to demand that Obama produces his birth certificate. If he does, and it proves he was born in Hawaii to a citizen of the USA. It will put to rest one more troubling issue about Obama's past,that he wishes us to not bring up.
If he refuses, then the Democrats running the party should declare an "open" convention, before they get caught with "egg on their collective faces"!

Bloggers are raising questions about Illinois Senator,Barack Obama's qualifications to be U.S. president, because of the secrecy over his birth certificate, and the requirement that presidents be "natural-born" U.S. citizens.
"The reports released to date show Obama was born in Honolulu to Barack Hussein Obama Sr., of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kan."


According to FindLaw.com, which is cited by Geraghty, the requirements that were in force from Dec. 24, 1952 to Nov. 13, 1986, encompassing the time of Obama's birth, state, "If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16."


He then points out Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, was 18 when Obama was born "so she wouldn't have met the requirement of five years after the age of 16."
Obama's father, a student sent to the United States from Africa, lived several places in the United States and then returned to Kenya where he was killed in an auto accident.

ONE MAN ONE VOTE IS JUST A SLOGAN

The President is elected by the Electoral College. He is not elected by the total popular vote as is the case for all most all other government elections.This is because we are a Republic not a Democracy where majority rules. If we were then politicians would only have to campaign in the most populous cities and ignore those of us in the less populated areas.Besides, the electoral collage system for Presidential elections is part of article II, section I of the U.S. Constitution.


When you vote in the primary election for your candidate for President, you are actually voting for the "electors" who are members of the Electoral College.The electors cast their votes after the general election is finished and report to Congress the result.


In fact once the new Electoral College is elected, they are not bound by law to vote for the man or woman selected by those whom they are elected for. They have the right to change their minds. History shows us Since the founding of the Electoral College, there have been 156 faithless Electors. 71 of these votes were changed because the original candidate died before the day on which the Electoral College cast their votes. Three of the votes were not cast at all as three Electors chose to abstain from casting their Electoral vote for any candidate. The other 82 Electoral votes were changed on the personal initiative of the Elector.

Sometimes Electors change their votes in large groups, such as when 23 Virginia Electors acted together in 1836. Many times, however, these Electors stood alone in their decision. As of the 2000 election, no Elector has changed the outcome of an election by voting against their party’s designated candidate.

Despite these 156 faithless votes, and a Supreme Court ruling allowing states to empower political parties to require formal pledges from Presidential Electors (Ray v Blair, 343 US 214), 21 states still do not require their members of the Electoral College to vote for their party's designated candidate.

In all other elections the person who gets the majority of votes wins the election. Some States reqire a person to be elected by 50% plus one of the votes cast, but generally the person who wins the popular vote, wins!

This year the popular vote has apparently been won in the Democrat Party by Hilary Clinton. Obama has apparently obtained the majority of electors to garner thw nomination. The issue rests with the deciions made about the allocation of more than 5% of the electors. These "Super Delegates" exist in both parties, but more so in the Democrat party.
The Super Delegates are State Governors, elected Congress persons, party officials and many more dignitaries. They don't appear on the ballot, but are annointed to the Electoral College by their position of power!

To complicate the situation in the Democrat party. The head of the Democrat party, Dr. Dean, decreed that he would punish those States of Michigan and Florida that held their primaries before the date the Democrat party selected. Eventually, he decided to cut their elected primary electors in half. Never mind States Rights!

Because of this decision, in the end the Florida electors have a voting weight of only half their numbers. Dr. Dean and his ilk thereby assured that Obama would garner enough electors to win the nomination. This despite the fact that Hillary won all electors in Florida!

Two Leftists Used Change For Their Message

MORAL RELATIVISM AND SECULARISM ARE THE POISON PEN OF FREEDOM
« previous entry | next entry »
Jun. 9th, 2008 | 05:56 pm

TODAY'S LEFT IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN A CONTINUATION OF THE MARXIST DOCTRINE OF THE 19TH CENTURY.
Karl Marx was an amoral relativist and secular humanist, who was the designer and indirect accomplice in the demise of what we call "common sense".
He was the "father of the bastard children of the twisted ideologies of multi-cultural ism with the phony emphasis on "diversity".
Most of our public school teachers, at all levels, are doctrinaire leftists, who apparently worship at the feet of Marx. Thus we have college freshman who can only read at an eight grade level. And mathematics has become a lost ability. If you don't believe me, go into a convenience store and buy an item that costs $11.83, and watch the young person struggle with change for a twenty dollar bill!

When Marx died in March of 1883 his tombstone, that was built and paid for by the Communist party in 1953, had the following words carved on it below the heading, "WORKERS OF ALL LANDS UNITE“
"THE PHILOSOPHERS HAVE ONLY INTERPRETED THE WORLD IN VARIOUS WAYS - THE POINT HOWEVER IS TO CHANGE".
Where have you heard the word "CHANGE" used lately?

It is strange that so many Jews in America appear to be followers of,if not Marx himself, at least the basic principals of humanism and secularism.

In his paper ON THE JEWISH QUESTION, he wrote, "let us not look for the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us look for the secret of his religion in the real Jew. What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. Very well then! Emancipation from huckstering and money, consequently from practical, real Judaism, would be the real emancipation of our time".
Sounds a lot like the mentor and Pastor of the Democrat Presidential nominee, Reverend Wright!

"We need to take faith seriously not simply to block the religious right but to engage all persons of faith in the larger project of American renewal". So says Obama in his "Audacity of Hope" book, and it sounds strangely similar to a quote of Marx. "Religion is the opiate of the people".
Karl Marx seemed to regard religion as one of the toughest roadblocks to mounting and sustaining a proper revolution by the proletariat. That the masses would continue to stubbornly cling to their religions, placing their hope in God rather than man, was evidently one the more disturbing aspects of his quest for a Communist society.source:Wikapedia

This sounds strangely similar to the comments OF OBAMA about people IN SMALL TOWN AMERICA where residents “cling to guns and religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them".

Should freedom loving Americans take a chance on a man who acts and sounds like the modern day equivalent of Karl Marx?
