Climate Change

I read Agenda 21 and read up on Communitarianism and decided that Climate Change was for the birds. It might be happening but the policies are pretty horrible. Communitarianism is the underlying "ism" behind "Climate Change" and it is both disturbing and familiar, good old fashioned authoritarianism with a green twist. NWO gobbledygook, Alex Jones' Endgame comes to mind, things like Eugenics programs and global government, destruction of the nation state in favor of organizations like the EU, a communitarian and globalist brainchild (completely coincidental I'm sure...).

A friend of mine and I were discussing it once and he told me that the commies all fled behind the environment after the USSR collapsed. Not too far from the truth. How amazing that one can only fix the environment with hardcore Government intervention and top-down authoritarianism. How convenient for the people at the top who set the policies and have all the control.

It is really amazing, at no place and at no time in history has any human ever behaved in such a way or come to the same conclusions on how to "fix something". Completely new phenomena never before observed in nature this Climate Altruism.

"overly-serious"

Who is overly serious? I laugh at torture because torture is so funny!

"We shouldn't prosecute US citizens that torture" that's a funny joke! Where is your sense of humor?

Another nation for Peace Laureate Obama to invade and attack because he inherited it from Bush or something.

US Troops Attack Somalia

US Confirms Invasion, Won't Say Why

by Jason Ditz, September 14, 2009

Following confirmation by the French military that they definitely weren’t in the process of invading Somalia, the United States military is now confirming that it is, in fact, American forces that are pouring into the southern portion of the country in a helicopter-backed invasion.

US military officials confirmed to the Associated Press today that forces from the US Joint Special Operations Command had invaded the lawless African nation, and were the ones responsible for the attack on the tiny village near Barawa this morning that was the first staging ground of the attack.

US Thinks They Probably Killed Kenyan in Somalia Raid

US Officials Term Somali Raid 'Success'

by Jason Ditz, September 14, 2009

Though US officials have yet to publicly say why exactly they invaded Somalia earlier today, privately some officials are being quoted as saying the attack targeted a Kenyan named Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan and that he was ‘likely killed’ in the helicopter-backed raid.

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan

Exactly how important the 30-year old Nabhan actually was and what his killing means is unclear. Though many in the media touted Nabhan as a “top al-Qaeda leader,” his affiliation with the group isn’t readily apparent, and the FBI’s wanted poster simply lists him as “wanted for questioning” in connection with a 2002 attack on an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa, Kenya.

But reportedly President Obama signed an “Execute Order” ten days ago calling for the military to kill the Kenyan at the first opportunity, and sources close to the situation say the US considers its attack a success since they recovered a body they think might be Nabhan’s.

How will Peace Laureate's sycophants spin it in order to blame BushCo? There has to be a way to claim that Bush did it. Bush must have forged Obama's signature on the EO.

"Obama inhereted two wars"

Geez this "inherited two wars" nonsense is as bad as the hasbara squad's Ziotrickery. Where did this propaganda come from? Did Israel kill 1,000 civilians or something? Oh wait no, that is Peace Laureate Obama and his flying killbots that are doing that. Bummer. No wonder there is like this deja vu feeling.

You should ask the Israel worshipers for some tips on goosestepping. They could help you out. You got the name calling part down, but you need more than one talking point to properly amplify your message. Honestly you seem a little green and need to work on it a little bit. Maybe you can trick me next time.

"There is no doubt that human activities have seriously altered the environment generally, and climate in particular."

Especially Americans. We have a funny way of altering political climates in countries other than our own. I think the idea of Americans putting around on bikes or small fuel efficient cars while the government intervenes at .5 mpg is utterly absurd. But I'm a single issue extremist.

45K + die a year as proof of that.

Peace Laureate Obama is going to send at least that many young American men and women to kill foreigners in the Imperial Graveyard. Those 45K+ get kind-of-free healthcare and while they are there they can explain to the Afghans how their lives are an important pawn to be sacrificed in progressive policy schemes back in the states. They can take the Code Pink Brigade with them.

One cancels the other. It's compromise.
