Top 10: Green Carnage

Allright, I've had it. This post is going to turn into the top 10 Green Wreckage's of all time. If you've got one, send it to me by posting a comment. Here's two I've got for now:

1. "The authorities forget the species homo sapiens, also part of the ecosystem, is threatened. Its habitat is being destroyed — by government edict. "

In the midst of the greatest recession since the 30's, California is spending millions diverting water from watering the crops into the ocean! Yes and all in the name of protecting a fish--the delta smelt. To protect the smelt, billions of gallons of water from the mountains east and north of Sacramento have been channeled away from farms and into the ocean, while farmers watch their crops wither and their once-productive land become barren. The estimate tab for this man made disaster: $647 MILLION

And one wonders why America's economic system is faltering. We have more people like this Feinstein in our congress than all the rest of the world's government's combined.

2. Another illustration of the stupidity of this green movement. We cannot have Chlorine in the water due to a belief it causes cancer despite no clinical studies providing any evidence for such a link , so we replace it with Choramine, which however causes pipes to erode which causes lead levels to rise, causing even more health problems. Environmentalist don't want us drinking chlorinated water, don't want us drinking bottled water due to the fossil fuels used while transporting it, and we can't even water crops because it might encourage the shipping of crops all over the planet which increases greenhouse gases. God help us all, if they their way drinking water would be criminalized.

God has been replaced by Mother Earth and sanity with acromania, and now we have the green worship czar running our country, tell me this ain't so.

Netanyahu Speaks Out. Listen Up

Former president Bush in 2002 gave a passionate speech in 2002 on why Iraq laid a serious threat to the world---as it turned out, his speech was a precursor to war. This year, Netanyahu laid down the gauntlet on Iran--will war soon follow?

Quirming Hank

Another one of our glorious officials in the hot seat. America's political system is massively full of corruption, but until the people wake up and realize these officials are only serving their own interests rather than their own, the slow and steady fall from greatness in America will continue.

The fall of our Republic

From a post by a retired attorney and Constitutional Law professor. To him, the bill is about seizing power and limiting rights:
" I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of
providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover
for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government
that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar
one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will
effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of
power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S.
Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration
authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American
people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn't
have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy
anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority
granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the
Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your
personal financial information, and the information of your employer,
physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific
provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against
unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to
privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the
3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have
private insurance that is not deemed "acceptable" to the Choices
Administrator" appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is
called a "tax" instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application
of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work
because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or
appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of
property without the "due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate
so much out of the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively
nullified by this law. It doesn't stop there though. The 9th Amendment that
provides: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not
be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;" The 10th
Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the
States respectively, or to the people." Under the provisions of this piece
of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to
have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to
control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think
you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power
and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of
both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation" to support the
Constitution. If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for
this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that
sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway I would hope the
American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they
consult the source. Here is a link to the Constitution:

There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Iran's Hardened Heart

Reading from Joshua 11:20
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
People often question the Lord's goodness in the face of evil in our society--where is God in all this pain and suffering? Pastor John Piper gives a fairly succinct answer to this question: "Where is God--I'll tell you where He is, He is storing up almighty wrath in fury to pour out on all those who do such evil." Galatians 6:7 states it another way:
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

The Lord instigated the conflict in this section of Joshua by hardening the heart of the evil ruler and causing him to do the unthinkable--make war against God's chosen people. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has recently stated again that the holocaust was myth and that Israel should be wiped off the face of the map. The Lord is hardening once again the heart of a ruler from an enemy of Israel. Recent news suggests it will not be much longer before he will receive 'no mercy.'

UN calls again for New World Currency

At the UN conference for trade and development, the call has gone out yet again for the elimination of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency.

From the WSJ:

A United Nations panel weighed into the dollar reserve currency debate, arguing for a new system of soft pegs to correct severe deficits in debtor nations like the U.S. and surpluses in countries like China.

The report from the United Nations conference on Trade and Development, issued on Monday, said the world economy would be better off with a system where governments intervene when necessary to either defend or depress their own currencies.

"A viable solution to the exchange-rate problem would be a system of managed flexible exchange rates targeting a rate that is consistent with a sustainable current-account position, which is preferable to any 'corner solution.' But since the exchange rate is a variable that involves more than one currency, there is a much better chance of achieving a stable pattern of exchange rates in a multilaterally agreed framework for exchange-rate management," said the U.N. body.

Russian Report: Netanyahu Meets in Russia

Odd report out of Russia:

Russian media on Thursday continued to cover Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's mysterious visit to Moscow, that was leaked to the media from his office.

Kommersant newspaper quoted "experts" as saying they believe a visit of this kind could have stemmed from urgent circumstances, "for example, in the event that Israel plans to attack Iran".
Cloud of Mystery

Report: PM held secret talks in Russia / Ynet

Yedioth Ahronoth says Netanyahu's Monday 'disappearance' was actually Moscow visit meant to discuss arms deals between Russian, Iran. PMO asserts Netanyahu was 'handling classified matters,' never left the country
Full Story



At first, Moscow denied a visit ever took place, but after Netanyahu's office was forced to admit to the PM's Military Secretary Meir Kalifi's lie, a senior Kremlin source also confirmed to Kommersant that the Israeli prime minister did indeed visit the city.

Russian media also directed questions on the visit to the Israeli embassy in Moscow, but embassy sources said that if there was such a visit, "We know nothing about it."

The paper then quoted what it called an "informed" Israeli source, who wished to remain anonymous, as saying, "Such a visit could be related to new information and could threaten the Iranian nuclear program. It should not be ruled out that Israel may be ready to move on to decisive actions with regards to Iran, and Netanyahu has decided to inform the Kremlin of this."

Russian Foreign Minister Spokesman Andrei Nesterenko published an announcement saying, "We have no knowledge of a Netanyahu's 'secret' visit to Moscow. We saw reports in various media. They are inconsistent. Other than that, I cannot tell you anything. I have no detailed information in the matter, or any information in the matter. We have seen the reports."

Wednesday night the Prime Minister's Office published yet another announcement in an attempt to rectify the damage, said, "The prime minister was busy with secret, classified activity. The military secretary took his own initiative to defend this activity."

On Wednesday, Ynet revealed that Netanyahu left Israel on a private jet belonging Israeli millionaire Yossi Maiman. Earlier Wednesday, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that his destination was Russia.

The prime minister's aides who published the false announcements of his whereabouts were a loss for words.



Hard for me to understand why Israel would want Moscow to know in advance if a strike was planned on Iran.
