LEFTIST PROPAGANDA SPEAKS - ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL

THE FAMOUS LEFTISTS OF HOLLYWOOD AND THE HISTORY CHANNEL
FORMED AN AXIS TO PROPAGANDIZE
ON BEHALF OF ANTI-AMERICANISM AND FOR MARXISM.


AMERICAN POWER HAS THE DETAILS.




EVERY PATRIOT SHOULD BOYCOTT THE SHOW AND ITS SPONSORS.

OBAMA'S HOCKEYSTICKS: CONTRASTING HIS PROJECTED APPROVAL NUMBERS WITH HIS ACTUAL APPROVAL NUMBERS

THIS IS WHAT THE INTELLIGENTSIA PREDICTED:



THIS IS WHAT HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED:


THEIR CLIMATE PREDICTIONS ARE NO BETTER.

TRUTHFUL HEADLINE IN TODAY'S WASHINGTON POST

The big headline below the hard-copy fold reads "Arrests suggest U.S. Muslims, like those in Europe, can be radicalized abroad."

True enough.

And one of the stories below the fold begins as follows:
The five men from Northern Virginia under arrest in Pakistan had exchanged e-mails written in code for months with a recruiter for the Pakistani Taliban and had a map indicating they were bound for the tribal area where al-Qaeda is thought to be based, Pakistan officials said Friday.
But both of the two stories dance around the radicalization from within of American Moslems, in spite of the other of today's stories beginning as follows:
A spike in terrorism cases involving U.S. citizens is challenging long-held assumptions that Muslims in Europe are more susceptible to radicalization than their better-assimilated counterparts in the United States.
Both stories mostly ignore the seriousness of the internal threat from the fifth column, and both stories do not mention any of the radical Wahhabist imams preaching at mosques all across America.

Furthermore, the other of today's two stories in the WaPo is calling upon two dangerous groups to curb the radicalization of Moslem youth within the United States:
...[T]wo major groups -- the Muslim Public Affairs Council and the Council on American-Islamic Relations -- said this week that they would launch counter-radicalization programs aimed at young people...
Half-awakened in the media is not necessarily better that not awakened at all.

The second story, as one might expect from the WaPo, blames the United States for radicalization:
Several U.S. and international terrorism analysts say that American Muslims, as a group, remain more prosperous, assimilated and moderate than those in Europe. But the analysts also note that immigration trends, the global spread of a militant Islamism and controversial actions by the United States and its allies since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks increase the chances that U.S. Muslims could carry out a domestic attack.
It is beyond the capabilities of liberals to blame the tenets of Islam, and the media continue to dance around those jihadist tenets.

Reliapundit points out in the post below this one that the New York Times is taking the same position as the WaPo.

Until the media tell the truth, Americans will continue to snooze or half-snooze. It is more comfortable not to recognize the truth about Islam.

NYTIMES "NEWS ANALYSIS": BLAMES THE USA FOR ISLAMO-TERROR

NYSLIMES "NEWS ANALYSIS":

Bruce Hoffman, who studies terrorism at Georgetown University, said the recent cases only confirmed that it was “myopic” to believe “we could insulate ourselves from the currents affecting young Muslims everywhere else.”

Like many other specialists, Mr. Hoffman pointed to the United States’ combat in Muslim lands as the only obvious spur to many of the recent cases, especially those with a Pakistani connection.

“The longer we’ve been in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said, “the more some susceptible young men are coming to believe that it’s their duty to take up arms to defend their fellow Muslims.”

THIS IS THE LEFTIST LINE:

  • WE MAKE MUSLIMS RADICAL.
  • IT'S NOT THE KORAN.
  • NOT MOHAMMED'S LIFE-STORY;
  • NOT THE HISTORY OF ISLAM.
  • IT'S US: OUR PRESENCE IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

THIS OF COURSE CAN'T EXPLAIN THE MUSLIM TERRORISM IN PHILIPPINES, THAILAND, RUSSIA, ALGERIA, MOROCCO, SPAIN AND SO ON.

AND SO OF COURSE IT IS TOTAL BULLSHIT.

BUT THE NYTIMES "NEWS ANALYSIS" IS ACTUALLY EVEN MORE FEEBLE AND LEFTIST AND DISTORTED, FOR THIS BLINDNESS OCCURS EVEN THOUGH THE PREMISE OF THE ARTICLE IS THAT MUSLIMS IN THE USA ARE NOT IMMUNE FROM RADICALISM AND EXTREMISM.

AND THAT - GET THIS - THE NYXLIMES NOW USES FORT HOOD AS AN EXAMPLE OF BOTH THIS LACK OF IMMUNITY AND THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE USA HAS TROOPS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN IS THE ROOT CAUSE.

IT UNBEFRICKINLIEVABLE THAT THE NYSLIMES WOULD NOW USE FORT HOOD AS AN EXAMPLE OF ISLAMO-TERROR EVEN THOUGH FOR WEEKS AFTER THE EVENT THEY DID THEIR BEST TO DENY IT.

WHAT ALLOWS THEM TO ADMIT THIS NOW?

THE FACT THAT THEY BLAME IT ON THE NEOCONS WHO GOT US INTO WAR IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

THE LEFT HATES AMERICA MORE THAN ISLAMO-TERROR.

SCUM.

THE TRUTH IS THAT ISLAM IS INTRINSICALLY TERROR PRONE BECAUSE THE KORAN AND HADITHS ARE FILLED WITH PRESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR MUSLIMS TO COMMIT TERROR, AND THE LIFE OF MOHAMED - WHOSE LIFE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO EMULATE - WAS ONE FILLED WITH TERROR; MOHAMMAD WAS MUSLIM TERRORIST #1.

THIS IS THE REAL REASON MUSLIMS EVERYWHERE ARE PRONE TO RADICALIZATION: IT'S THEIR RELIGION.

NOT OUR ACTIONS OR REACTIONS.

BY BLAMING US THE NYSLIMES AND THE LEFT AIDS AND ABETS THE ENEMY.

THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THE USA AND THE WEST.

NYTIMES' AS**OLE BROOKS ATTACKS JUDAISM AND HANUKKAH

BROOKS:
It [HANUKKAH] commemorates an event in which the good guys did horrible things, the bad guys did good things and in which everybody is flummoxed by insoluble conflicts that remain with us today.

YOU COULD DAY THAT ABOUT COMMMEMORIZATIONS OF THE US CIVIL WAR, WW1, WW2 - ANY WAR IN WHICH THE GOOD GUYS WON - AND FOUGHT TO WIN.

IT'S SICKENING THAT THE LIBERAL BROOKS AND THE LIBERAL NYTIMES WOULD CHOOSE HANUKKAH AS A TIME TO DISPARAGE HANUKKAH.

THEY WOULDN'T DARE DO THIS TO ISLAM AT ANYTIME, LET ALONE DURING A MUSLIM HOLIDAY.

BROOKS AND THE NYTIMES ARE DISGUSTING SCUMBAG PIECES OF SH*T LYING COC*SUC*ING GRAMSICAN MORAL RELATIVIST FUCKWADS.

THEY SLANDER JUDAISM BUT ARE SILENT ON OBAMA'S KEVIN JENNINGS AND SO MUCH ELSE,

WHAT PIECES OF LEFTIST DOGCRAP.

THE MACCBEES WERE GREAT. THE HASMONEANS EVENTUALLY FELL BECAUSE THEY TURNED AWAY FROM GOD.

AS THE POSTMODERNIST LEFTIST AND THE NYTIMES HAVE.

DANISH PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM SAVES MONEY USING PRIVATE HOSPITALS

The government agency in Denmark that administers the public health system saves 25-30 per cent by using private hospitals. This demonstrates that the private sector can operate more effectively than the publicly owned and operated hospitals.

CAIR DOESN'T RIFQA BARY TO GET CHRISTMAS CARDS

The Jawa Report informs that a lawyer for CAIR is demanding the ban and seizure of all Christmas cards sent to Rifqa Bary. In other words, he and his ilk are intent on insulting all those who wish to offer kindness to a child in distress.

This is exactly why those who find it offensive that the cards they worked so hard to send should make sure to respond to this disgusting attempt to interfere with free speech. Again, be sure to attend the rally on December 22 in Columbus, Ohio!

TURKEY STILL MAINTAINING MILITARY TIES WITH ISRAEL

And that's only for now. We can't be sure it'll survive in another decade. From The Bulletin:
Jerusalem – Israel and Turkey have managed to retain military cooperation despite rising political tension, a report by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs said.

The report asserted that the Islamist government of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has kept their military partnership with Israel despite their political crisis this year. Still, the Center, in a report by a leading U.S. analyst, warned that Israeli-Turkish relations were threatened by Ankara’s strategic alliance with Syria.

“Israel’s military relationship with Turkey, including ongoing joint air force training, military exchanges, and arms sales, appears to be secure for the time being,” the report, titled “The Islamist Transformation in Turkish Politics,” said. “Should bilateral political tensions continue, and as Ankara and Damascus enhance strategic ties, inevitably Israeli-Turkish military-to-military relations will suffer.”
I think sooner or later, Israel will have to come to terms with how Islamofascism is on the rise again in Turkey, and that's why continuation of army ties is just not worth it.
Mr. Schenker, now a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, said Ankara’s embrace of Syria over the last three years reflected the decline of Turkey’s military. He said Mr. Erdogan’s party, which has succeeded in marginalizing the military, has been promoting relations with such countries as Qatar, Sudan and Syria while rejecting pro-Western Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia.
Are they so sure they're pro-western? Because signs are that even Jordan is slowly cooling from that stance. And one can only wonder how it'll be before Turkey's army becomes more Islamised.
The report said Turkey began weakening its relationship with Israel as early as 2006. This year, however, Ankara sparked a crisis with Israel during its war with Hamas as the Turkish government improved relations with Syria. This included the first Syrian-Turkish military exercise in April.

“Clearly, 2009 was a watershed year for the Turkey-Syria bilateral relationship and a year of setbacks for Israeli-Turkish ties,” the report said. “While the long-term implications of these developments remain to be seen, the current trajectory is not cause for optimism.”
They got that right.

MOGADISHU SUICIDE BOMBER FROM DENMARK

It has now been confirmed that the suicide bomber who murdered 24 human beings, including 3 Ministers (Education, Higher Education and Health ministers) in the Somali government came from Denmark. Most of the victims were students at Banadir University. The 24 year old Somali lived for 15 years in Denmark, before returning with his wife and children to Somalia in 2008, to commit this crime, reportedly on behalf of al Shahaab. Gee...I wonder what motivates these people?

NOW IN THE UK: RAPE AS AN ACT OF ISLAMIZATION

FROM VT: BRITAIN: Eight men appear in UK court on series of rapes.

Eight men charged with sexual offences. The Star UK:

Adil Hussain, Saeed Hussain, Shaizaad Hussain, Mohsin Khan, Zafran Ramzan, Razwan Razaq, Umar Razaq

For an interesting analysis of this event please see The Opinionator
WHO HAS COVERED THIS EXTENSIVELY:

The despicable muslim Rape Jihad continues in Britain. Once again young, vulnerable white British girls are plundered like war booty by muslim men. For that is just what this girls are = war booty = as muslims continue their invasion and colonisation of Great Britain bringing with them their contempt for the Western world and it's indigenous people, culture and customs - particularly women and girls.

The government and social policies of multiculturalism and appeasement have given muslims a sense of entitlement to all things British - from sponging off taxpayer paid benefits to establishing no-go areas for white British to the rampant raping and beating of British women and children.

I (and many other bloggers) have written extensively about the muslim rape of British women and children - and yes - even men.

A small sampling:

THE MUSLIM RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE OF BRITISH GIRLS

WORSE than a "pack of animals" - 3 Muslim Men Jailed for Rape of 16 yr old British girl

Muslim Millionaire Pedophiles Buying British Little Girls for Sex

MUSLIM MEN RAPE FOUR BRITISH SCHOOLGIRLS AT AMUSEMENT PARK

UK EPIDEMIC - MUSLIM TAXI DRIVERS RAPING BRITISH GIRLS & WOMEN

MUSLIM MAN KIDNAPS 14 YR OLD BRITISH GIRL FOR SEX

THE BEAT GOES ON ----- MUSLIM ATTACKS ON BRITISH WOMEN

JAILED PEDOPHILE CONVERTS TO ISLAM

MUSLIM PEDOPHILES RAPE UK TAXPAYERS

Once again:

While dhimmi judges act the role of apologists for muslim criminals

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst dhimmi police play hijab dress-up and coddle muslim

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst politicians are cajoling and paying for muslim votes

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst the media continues to hide muslim crime/criminals (see below)

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst church leaders embrace the muslim invasion and exploitation of the British people

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN


THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS CENTRAL TO ISLAM. ALWAYS HAS BEEN. IT'S THE LITERAL RAPE OF THE WEST BY ISLAM. THE LEFT'S ADVICE TO US IS THAT WE SHOULD CLOSE OUR EYES AND ENJOY IT.

THE RIGHT'S ADVICE IS FOR US TO ARM AND FIGHT BACK - DEFEND OURSELVES.

IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE CONTINUED RAPE OF OUR CULTURE, THEN KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT/LABOUR/SOCIALIST/LIBERAL.


UPDATE: JDAMN ADDS:

It's so much worse, dude.

And those three stories are just from the top third of TROP today.

To say nothing of Sweden. OMG.

BRRRRRRR!: WORST SNOWSTORM IN IOWA IN 38 YEARS

AND IT'S NOT EVEN WINTER YET, FOLKS:
It's official: The 2009 blizzard of Dec. 7-9 was the snowiest storm in 38 years, almost 39.

It dropped some 10.2 inches of snow across Iowa on average, according to State Climatologist Harry Hillaker.

This week's storm ranks third in snowfall statewide since 1950.

"The storm we had this week was incredibly well forecast," said Hillaker. "Then it actually did what it was expected to do. It started slowly and didn't cause a lot of surprises."

A few reports from some areas of the state still haven't been received, but they are not expected to change the order of things, Hillaker said.

Here are the top snowfalls statewide since 1950:

1. March 10-14, 1951 -- 14.3 inches
2. Jan. 2-4, 1971 -- 10.4 inches
3. Dec. 7-9, 2009 -- 10.2 inches
4. March 4-6, 1959 -- 9.5 inches
5. Jan. 11-13, 1979 -- 8.6 inches
6. (tie) April 8-9, 1973; Jan. 4-6, 2005 -- 8.5 inches
7. Feb. 17-18, 1962 -- 7.8 inches
8. Jan. 26, 1996 -- 7.7 inches
9. March 1-3, 2007 -- 6.7 inches
IF YOU STUDY THAT LIST SOMETHING STICKS OUT: NO BIG STORMS DURING THE WARM BLIP WE HAD FROM 1997-2006. BUT ALREADY A COUPLE SINCE THEN.

THE WARMING BLIP IS OVER.

ALSO NOTE: THE 70'S HAD A FEW BIG STORMS - THAT'S WHEN THE LEFTISTS WERE WARNING EVERYONE ABOUT THE IMPENDING GLOBAL COOLING CATASTROPHE.

THE STORM KILLED 17 PEOPLE:
MILLIONS of Americans were braced for another deadly blast of wintry weather last night, as the death toll from the first storms of the season climbed to at least 17.

Forecasters said a massive belt of snow and ice stretching thousands of miles, from the Midwest to New England, would leave freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions in its wake, heaping more misery on those caught out by the unexpected severity of winter's opening salvo.

Entire towns lost power, colleges and hospitals were closed in several states and thousands of air passengers were left stranded by the big chill, which prompted the governor of Wisconsin to declare a state of emergency
AGW IS BS.

THOUSANDS WENT TO PROTEST BUILDING FREEZE

Many people went to a demonstration yesterday intended to protest the government's ludicrous building freeze. It's good to see that this time, there was a serious wake up call initiated.

REFERENDUM BILL APPROVED

A positive development:
The Ministerial Committee for Legislation decided Tuesday to give the government's backing to a bill proposed by MK Yariv Levin (Likud) requiring that a national referendum be held if the government ever intends to cede land under Israeli sovereignty.

[...]

The ministerial committee also struck down an appeal against a similar decision it had made in the past. The appeal was filed by Minister Dan Meridor, who is a proponent of a Golan retreat in return for a peace deal with Syria.
Glad to see that terrible politician's been put in his place too. This referendum is important for safeguarding the country, and people like Meridor cannot be permitted to sabotage it. Extra news on this here.

MOST DANISH CHURCHES DON'T RING BELLS FOR AGW

Collected/translated by the Islam in Europe Blog.

Most churches rebuff climate bells
Low support for collective church bell tolling to greet world leaders arriving in Copenhagen

Almost 70 percent of churches have decided not to participate in the collective clanging of church bells arranged by Grøn Kirke (Green Church), a climate group attached to the National Council of Churches in Denmark.

Grøn Kirke has encouraged the country’s churches to toll their bells 350 times on Sunday at their 3pm services in connection with the COP15 conference.

DENMARK SIGNS MEMORANDUM AGAINST PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD


The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Danish Parliament has approved a declaration that Denmark will oppose the establishment of a independent Palestinian state.

Wait a minute...oh, they approved a statement saying Denmark will oppose the establishment of an independent Tibetan state.

Then it's ok. Anything to appease China.

Included in the deal - butt plugs for everyone.


You Know What Would Be Really Ironic?

If Obama went to pick up his Peace Prize and came home to find he had a revolution on his hands. He wouldn't see that coming at all, would he?



Did I mention that Obama is actively trying to abrogate the Second Amendment?

Yeah, he's doing that. (Hat tip: Randy Dye.)

Fortunately, we Americans have been buying ammo like it's going out of style.

FISTGATE: IF IT DOESN'T BELONG IN PRIME-TIME, THEN IT DOESN'T BELONG IN OUR PRIMARY SCHOOLS


REPEAT:

IF IT DOESN'T BELONG IN PRIME-TIME, THEN IT DOESN'T BELONG IN OUR PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
  • OBAMA'S "SAFE SCHOOLS CZAR" - KEVIN JENNINGS - PROMOTES A GRAMSCIAN AGENDA AND A PRURIENT CURRICULUM WHICH COULD NOT BE AIRED IN PRIME TIME.
  • WHY DID OBAMA MUST HIRE HIM!?
  • OBAMA MUST FIRE HIM.
  • IF OBAMA DOESN'T, THEN OBAMA MUST SUPPORT HIS AGENDA.

WHEN WILL A REPORTER ASK OBAMA OR GIBBS OR EDUCATION SECRETARY DUNCAN ABOUT THIS!?!?

[ASIDE: It's no coincidence that the people who appointed and are defending Jennings are the same people who call Tea Partyers "teabaggers".]

WHY THE CLINTON ERA WAS UTOPIA: CLINTON NEVER INHALED AND GORE NEVER EXHALED


WHY THE CLINTON ERA WAS UTOPIA:
CLINTON NEVER INHALED AND GORE NEVER EXHALED.

GORE LIED, CLIMATE CHANGE DIED


GORE LIES.

  • GORE SAYS THE EMAILS IN CLIMATEGATE ARE OLDER THAN TEN YEARS.

LIE: SOME ARE FROM LAST MONTH. MOST ARE FROM WITHIN THE LEAST TEN YEARS.

  • GORE SAYS 50% OF ATMOSPHERIC CO2 IS MAN-MADE.

LIE: ONLY 3% IS.

HE SAYS STORMS ARE GROWING STRONGER AND MORE FREQUENT.

LIE: HURRICANE SEASON THIS YEAR WAS VERY VERY QUIET. AND GLOBALLY, WEATHER RELATED DEATHS HAVE BEEN DECLINING FOR DECADES.

LET ME ASK YOU AGW BELIEVERS TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS:

  1. IF THE TRUTH WAS ON GORE'S SIDE, WOULD HE HAVE TO LIE?


  2. IF THE TRUTH WAS ON THE CRU'S SIDE, WOULD THEY HAVE TO DISTORT THEIR DATA OR ATTEMPT TO KEEP OTHERS FROM SEEING IT OR ATTEMPT TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM PUBLISHING CONTRARY HYPOTHESES?

YOU KNOW WHAT THE ANSWERS ARE.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS:

AGW IS TOTAL BS.

ICE CORE RECORD PROVES THAT GREENLAND'S RECENT WARMING IS MINOR COMPARED TO MOST PREVIOUS ERAS

WUWT: EIGHT GRAPHS DEPICTING WARMING OVER DIFFERENT ERAS PROVES THAT CURRENT WARMING IS NOT EXTREME OR UNUSUAL.

GREAT ARTICLE!

ALSO VIA WUWT:
  • A SIXTH GRADER -
  • USING DATA FROM GISS -
  • HAS PROVEN THAT OVER THE LAST 100 YEARS
  • THERE'S BEEN ZERO WARMING IN RURAL AMERICA,
  • AND STEADY WARMING IN URBAN AMERICA;
  • ERGO: WARMING IS NOT CLIMATIC; IT'S LOCAL AND RELATED TO LAND USE,
  • (AS A G.T. STUDY RECENTLY ALSO PROVED.)
  • THIS ALSO IMPLIES THAT DATA SHOWING AN OVERALL WARMING TREND IS TAINTED BY LAND USE, AND THAT ARGUMENTS THAT IT'S CAUSED BY CO2 ARE RIDICULOUS.
MUST SEE VIDEO:

EGYPT BUILDING A HUGE SUBTERRANEAN WALL ON GAZA BORDER

REUTERS:
Egyptian earth-moving machinery was at work on the Gaza Strip border on Wednesday and an Israeli newspaper said the project under way was a subterranean metal wall to block Palestinian smuggling tunnels.

... Israeli daily Haaretz reported Egypt was installing an underground metal wall about 20 to 30 metres deep along the short border strip where Palestinians have dug a warren of tunnels to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

... Haaretz said the wall would be nearly 10 km long and “impossible to cut or melt”.

GOOD.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER HUMANS ON EARTH WHOSE NEIGHBORS MUST DO THIS!?!?!?

NOPE.

THE GAZANS ARE SUBHUMANS.

BTW: NO ONE IN THE ARAB WORLD AND NO EURO-WEENIES ARE COMPLAINING AND THERE'S NOT A PEEP OUT OF THE UN, EITHER.

BUT WHEN ISRAEL DOES STUFF LIKE THIS, THEY ALL CRY "FOUL!" - AND THAT'S ANTISEMITIC.

BRRRRRRR!; RECORD SNOW CLOSES UW-MADISON CAMPUS FOR 2ND TIME IN 45 YEARS!

GLOBAL WARMING!?!?!?!? WHAT GLOBAL WARMING!??!?!?!?!?!?!

NYTIMES: Blizzard Paralyzes Much of Midwest

Around Madison, Wisc., snow and wind are part of winter’s backdrop, like frosty breath and ice fishing; students rarely expect a seasonal reprieve. But the storm that whipped through the upper Midwest on Wednesday was no ordinary blizzard.

For the first time in nearly 45 years, officials at the University of Wisconsin-Madison canceled all Wednesday classes — the night before — and directed all non-essential employees to stay home, affecting about 15,000 faculty and staff. By morning, roads were impassible, conditions dangerous.

“It is a rare event because people are used to dealing with snowy conditions,” said John Lucas, a university spokesman.

According to the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wisc., more than 19 inches of snow fell in Madison, the area hardest hit by a huge winter storm that blanketed the Midwest, upstate New York and parts of New England. Gov. Jim Doyle of Wisconsin closed all state government offices.

On this record day in Madison, the famous “On Wisconsin” fight song might have sounded more like “Off Wisconsin.” (Only the Milwaukee and Superior campuses of the university were open.)

Records kept by the main campus date to a storm on St. Patrick’s Day in 1965, when classes were canceled the entire day. On that day, snow piled only 6.9 inches — but on top of freezing rain.

But Wednesday was the first time that classes were canceled since 1990, when Donna Shalala, who was chancellor at the time, shut them down at 10:30 a.m. because 17 inches of snow had fallen over a 16-hour period.
UPDATE: COLDEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER IN CLEVELAND
Thursday night's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns has the makings of being the coldest game ever in Cleveland for the rivalry.

The latest National Weather Service forecast calls for it to be 18 degrees with a 54 percent chance of snow at 8 p.m., just before kickoff.

By 11 p.m., the temperature is predicted to drop to 17 degrees, with a wind chill of 3 degrees below zero.

It has never been that cold for a Browns-Steelers game in Cleveland, National Weather Service records show.

The coldest date for a Browns-Steelers game was Dec. 18, 1983, when the low for the day was 14 degrees. However, that low was achieved at 4 a.m.

The 1983 game began at 1 p.m. The temperature ranged from 20 to 21 degrees during the game.

GEE, ER UM... IT SURE DON'T SEEM LIKE IT'S REALLY GETTING WARMER AND WARMER DOES IT!?

NOPE.

KNOW WHY!?

CUZ THERE AIN'T NO AGW.

AGW IS BULLS*IT, A SCAM DESIGNED TO SCARE US INTO PASSING AND ACCEPTING A SOCIALIST AGENDA.

WE MUST DERAIL IT.

JOKE OF THE DAY: EPA CHIEF SAYS TIMING IS A COINCIDENCE

From Hot Air:
Did any of us think that the timing of the EPA’s announcement to regulate carbon dioxide had anything to do with the conference on CO2 emissions in Copenhagen — which the President plans to attend? Heaven forfend, says Lisa Jackson, the EPA’s administrator, who says it’s just all one big coincidence. And she assure us of that from … where?
COPENHAGEN— Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson insisted Wednesday that her agency did not time the release of its global-warming endangerment finding to jump-start climate talks here.

“The endangerment finding and the work here are separate,” she told a packed room at the Bella Center. “Certainly, I was glad we were able to complete the finding and make that statement just before, but that wasn’t the impetus for our work.”




And, I suppose it's also a coincidence that Obama's EPA machinations look like the work of a two-bit Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro.

Administration Warns of 'Command-and-Control' Regulation Over Emissions

It seems someone needs to remind Obama that this nation began as a rebellion against taxation without representation.

From Fox News:

The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business.

The warning, from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Jackson, however, tried to strike a tone of cooperation in her address Wednesday, explaining that the EPA's new powers to regulate greenhouse gases will be used to complement legislation pending in Congress, not replace it.

"This is not an 'either-or' moment. It's a 'both-and' moment," she said.

But while administration officials have long said they prefer Congress take action on climate change, the economic official who spoke with reporters Tuesday night made clear that the EPA will not wait and is prepared to act on its own.

And it won't be pretty.

"If you don't pass this legislation, then ... the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area," the official said. "And it is not going to be able to regulate on a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty."

In other words, if you don't do what we tell you to do, we will resort to force.

That's called Totalitarianism, folks.

As Krauthammer said yesterday, if Obama attempts to do this by decree, he will have a revolution on his hands.

UPDATED: EUROPOL: 90% OF ALL CO2 QUOTA TRADE SWINDLE


The european police - EUROPOL - estimate that in the past 18 months more than 7 billion dollars of CO2 quota's have been swindled!

Connie Headguard - EU climate CZAR - has no comment.

Europol has registered an explosion in quota trading activity in the danish quota system.

Headguard was until recently Climate Minister of Denmark.

Wonder how this will affect the Danish EU Opt-Outs (EMU; Security and Defense; Justice and Home Affairs; and EU citizenship). I don't believe this will hasten any referendum!

UPDATE: SCOOPED INSTAPUNDIT AND VOLOKH BY A DAY!


LINKED TO BY TIM BLAIR! THANKS!

TERRORISTS PROBING COPENHAGEN SECURITY?

Our readers were informed yesterday of the arrest of 5 individuals, who were suspected of being terrorists, in proximity to the COP15 Climate Conference. Initial reports named a wanted American, a dane of Morocccan birth, a stateless palestinian and 2 women. 4 suspects were subsequently released after fingerprints showed that none of the arrested were the "wanted american". Now it is being reported that the stateless palestinian identified himself as the wanted american and this set off the alarms with the police. It is unclear if the wanted american's name was the result of a misunderstanding on the part of the police, or willfully provided by the stateless palestinian. Fingerprints identified the stateless palestinian as being sought for extradition. He is still in custody...
Wait a minute! If the stateless palestinian was thought to be the wanted american - how do the police arrest 5 suspects???? Who was the 5th suspect?
Was this a probe by terrorists bent upon attacking Copenhagen during the COP15 conference, or a manifestation of the heightened level of security? We know that, thanks to the Muhammed Cartoons and Danish support to the GWOT, Denmark is very high on the Jihadist target list. I fear an attack will come towards the end of the conference and pray it will fail.

DEMOCRATS FINALIZE HUGE SPENDING DEAL - AND REVEAL THEIR PRIORITIES

NYTIMES:
a huge increase in foreign aid with an 18 percent cut to a program that helps states with the cost of incarcerating criminal illegal immigrants.

... The bill reflects Democrats' control of Congress and the White House.

... There's $2.5 billion for high-speed rail programs, which comes on top of $8 billion approved earlier this year as part of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus program. A program that subsidizes flights to and from rural airports -- sometimes at thousands of dollars per ticket -- would receive $200 million, a 47 percent increase.
REPEAT:
a huge increase in foreign aid with an 18 percent cut to a program that helps states with the cost of incarcerating criminal illegal immigrants.

WE MUST THROW THESE BUMS OUT IN 2010.

MUST.

REALLY.

THE LEFT'S SOLUTION FOR AGW: "JUST LET US RAISE YOUR TAXES AND EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE!"

  • ACCORD TO THE AGW ALARMISTS, THE EARTH IS GOING TO GET A FEW DEGREES WARMER IN THE NEXT HUNDRED OR SO YEARS, AND...
  • AS A RESULT OF THAT THERE ARE GONG TO BE EVEN MORE AND WORSE HURRICANES AND TYPHOONS AND BLIZZARDS AND 250,000,000 CLIMATE REFUGEES AND MASS STARVATION AND DROUGHT AND MORE DISEASE...
(GREAT POST WITH VIDEO OF THE AGW FEAR-MONGERING HERE AT DD'S PLACE.)
  • YOU KNOW: THE SKY IS FALLING!
BUT THE POLITICIANS TELL US NOT TO WORRY:

WE JUST HAVE TO LET THEM RAISE OUR TAXES, AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE!

I THINK INSTEAD OF BEING STEAMROLLED BY THE FEAR-MONGERING PROPAGANDA, EVERYONE OUGHT TO RECONSIDER THE PROBLEM IN VIEW OF THEIR PROPOSED SOLUTION.

THEY WANT TO RAISE OUR TAXES.

AND THEY WANT US TO CONSUME LESS - OR EVERYTHING.

HMMMM...

KEEP LESS OF WHAT WE EARN AND SPEND LESS. PRODUCE LESS. HAVE TO CHARGE MORE FOR IT. RASING PRICES INFLATION........

SOUNDS LIKE DECLINING LIVING STANDARDS TO ME.

AND THAT'S THE SOLUTION?

IT'S BS.


ALL IT IS, IS A WAY POLITICIANS CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON MORE OF OUR MONEY AND TO GAIN CONTROL OVER MORE OF OUR ECONOMY.

WE MUSTN'T LET THEM DO IT.

HELP SCOTT BROWN DEFEAT THE DEM MACHINE IN MASSACHUSETTS

BOSTON GLOBE: State Senator Scott P. Brown, a telegenic triathlete and military lawyer who has won nine consecutive elections since the mid-1980s, tonight won an easy victory in the Republican primary for US Senate, launching him on an uphill battle to become the first Republican to represent Massachusetts in the United States Senate in 30 years:

Brown, one of just five Republicans in the 40-member state Senate, faces significant challenges: he is less well-known than the Democratic nominee, Attorney General Martha Coakley; he is a Republican in an overwhelmingly liberal state; and the six weeks until the final election include the Christmas and New Year's season when it will be difficult to get voters' attention.

Just 11 percent of the state's registered voters are Republicans. But Democrats are taking nothing for granted.

"He’s an attractive, articulate, moderate Republican who could tap into some of the unrest among voters,'' said Philip W. Johnston, a former chairman of the state Democratic Party.

"It would be a terrible mistake for Democrats to assume that this election is in the bag on Jan. 19. These are not normal times. There are treacherous winds blowing and Democratic candidates have to be aware of that."

I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR BROWN:

HOLD A TEA PARTY IN BOSTON HARBOR!

25% of all births in England and Wales in 2008 were to foreign-born women - a record.

BBC: The number of people from overseas living in the UK reached a record high of 6.7m last year, the Office for National Statistics has said.

Nearly 25% of all births in England and Wales in 2008 were to foreign-born women - another record.

Immigration Minister Phil Woolas said the figures did not account for those immigrants who were returning home.

The births to foreign-born women made up 170,834 out of the total of 708,711.

Immigrants from Eastern Europe, for example, had 25,000 children.

AT THIS RATE, THERE ISN'T ALWAYS GOING TO BE A BRITAIN. NOT A BRITISH ONE.

THE BRITS OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT BACK AT LEAST AS HARD AS THE SWISS, DON'T YOU THINK?

OBAMA: FOOLING LESS OF THE PEOPLE MORE OF THE TIME

  • WHEN YOU RUN AS A POST-PARTISAN CENTRIST, BUT RUN THE PLACE LIKE THE RADICAL LEFTIST YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN...
  • WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA BE OPEN, HONEST AND TRANSPARENT, BUT RUN THE PLACE LIKE THE CHICAGO MACHINE POLTICIAN YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN...
  • WHEN YOPU8 ANTAGIONIZE OLD ALLIES LIKE ISRAEL AND BRITIAN AND HINDURAS AND CANADA, BUT APPEASE IRAN AND CHAVEZ AND PUTIN...
... THEN THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN - SAMMON/FOX/GALLUP:
President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.

... When Gallup began taking presidential approval polls 71 years ago, Franklin Roosevelt had been president for more than five years. During his remaining time in office, his job approval rating never fell below 48 percent.

The next 11 presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, all had higher job approval ratings than Obama at this stage of their tenure. Their ratings were:

-- George W. Bush, 86 percent
-- Bill Clinton, 52 percent
-- George H.W. Bush, 71 percent
-- Ronald Reagan, 49 percent
-- Jimmy Carter, 57 percent
-- Gerald Ford, 52 percent
-- Richard Nixon, 59 percent
-- Lyndon Johnson, 74 percent
-- John Kennedy, 77 percent
-- Dwight Eisenhower, 69 percent
-- Harry Truman, 49 percent

WORLD'S FOREMOST HURRICANE EXPERT: AGW IS BS - AND ECONOMIC SUICIDE

The following commentary is by Atmospheric Scientist and Hurricane forecasting specialist Dr. William Gray. Gray is the renowned hurricane forecaster and Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University (CSU).


Puncturing the Climate Balloon


By Dr. Bill Gray


There has been an unrelenting quarter century of one-sided indoctrination of the western world by the media and by various scientists and governments concerning a coming carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming disaster.

These warming scenarios have been orchestrated by a combination of environmentalists, vested interest scientists wanting larger federal grants and publicity, the media which profits from doomsday scenario reporting, governmental bureaucrats who want more power over our lives, and socialists who want to level-out global living standards.

These many alarmist groups appear to have little concern over whether their global warming prognostications are accurate, however.

And they most certainly are not.

The alarmists believe they will be able to scare enough of our citizens into believing their propaganda that the public will be willing to follow their advice on future energy usage and agree to a lowering of their standard of living in the name of climate salvation.


Rising levels of CO2 are not near the threat these alarmists have portrayed them to be.

... The Cap-and-Trade bill presently before Congress, the likely climate agreements coming out of the Copenhagen Conference, and the EPA's just announced decision to treat CO2 as a pollutant represents a grave threat to the industrial world's continued economic development.

We should not allow these proposals to restrict our economic growth.

Any United Nations climate bill our country might sign would act as an infringement on our country's sovereignty.
RTWT.

WE MUST STOP THE CO2MMUNISTS!

ONLY TWO THINGS HAVE PREVENTED THE CREATION OF YET ANOTHER ARAB STATE, ONE CALLED "PALESTINE": ISLAMISM AN ANTISEMITISM

IF PALESTINIAN ARABS WEREN'T ANTISEMITIC OR DOMINATED BY JIHADISM, THEN THEY'D ALREADY HAVE A STATE.
  • NOTHING ISRAEL OR THE WEST CAN DO WILL CHANGE THAT.
  • NOT PROMISING THEM HALF OF JERUSALEM OR HALF OF ISRAEL.
  • AN ARAB STATE CALLED PALESTINE WILL NOT BE BORN UNTIL THOSE TWO THINGS DIE.
  • THAT'S A FACT.
ALL PROCESSES EFFORTING TO CREATE A STATE OR PEACE BETWEEN ARABS AND JEWS ARE DOOMED TO FAIL UNTIL THE ARABS CHANGE.
  • AND THAT CHANGE MUST COME FIRST.
  • BEFORE ISRAEL GIVES UP ANYTHING ELSE.
  • FOR ISRAEL THESE CHOICES ARE EXISTENTIAL.
  • FOR ARABS THEY ARE CONSTITUTIONAL - THE CONSTITUTION MEANING LITERALLY THE KORAN AND FIGUATIVELY ARAB MUSLIM ETHOS.
  • THE ARABS MUST "AMEND THEIR CONSTITUTION" BECAUSE ISRAEL WILL NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
END OF STORY.

TWO SIMPLE GRAPHS PROVE MAN-MADE CO2 CAUSED AGW IS BS



FOR THE LAST DECADE,
MAN-MADE CO2 HAS GONE UP EVERY DAY,
BUT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS GLOBAL TEMPS HAVE NOT.


IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ALL THE YEARS FROM 1998 TO 2009
ARE WARMER THAN
THE YEARS 1989-1998, EITHER.

THE FACT THAT EACH YEAR IS NOT WARMER THAN THE PRECEDING YEAR DISPROVES THE THEORY THAT CO2 CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING.

THEN THERE'S THIS FACT:



THE 11TH CENTURY WAS WARMER THAN
THE CURRENT WARM-SPELL FROM 1998-2009.

THE CURRENT WARMING PHASE IS NOT UNUSUAL AT ALL,
BY ANY MEASURE.

IT IS TYPICAL OF THE CLIMATIC CHANGES THE EARTH HAS HAD
FOR 4.5 BILLION YEARS.

SUMMARY:

  • THE EARTH IS COOLER NOW THAN IN 1998 DESPITE THERE BEING MUCH MUCH MORE MAN-MADE CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
  • THE EARTH IS NOT AS WARM NOW AS IN THE 11TH CENTURY WHEN THERE WERE NO MAN-MADE GREENHOUSES GASES.

BOTTOM-LINE: AGW IS TOTAL FUC*ING BULLSHIT, A SOCIALIST SCHEME TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH.

UNBELIEVABLE VIDEO OF WHAT ISLAMIZATION LOOKS LIKE: MUSLIMS PRAYING IN PARIS STREETS, BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND SIDEWALKS



HERE'S AN EXCERPT - USE THE LINK TO SEE MORE UNBELIEVABLE THE VIDEO:

Some Paris neighbourhoods have been taken over Fridays with large numbers of Muslims clearly establishing Islamic primacy by taking over huge sections of streets by ‘praying’ in them in such a manner that no other traffic is possible. (videos below) thanks to Tundra and Gaia, we have a translation of a newspaper article on a proposed referendum to end this hostile and predatory practice.

Once again, we see that this is not a religious thing, but a political practice of primacy and total dominance. Below the videos please find the English translation of the letter to President Sarkozi. Remember, this can, will, and is happening now in Canada. It is only a matter of degree and time. The more time, the greater the degree.
FOLLOWING THE SWISS LEAD, SARKOZY IS MAKING NOISES ABOUT IT, SAYS HE WANTS IT STOPPED:

Nicolas Sarkozy stoked the debate over immigration today with a warning to Muslims to practise their religion discreetly or face rejection by moderate Islam in France.

The President voiced sympathy for Swiss voters who opted last week to ban minarets as he tried to reassert himself in a debate over national identity which he launched last month but that has since spiralled out of his control.

Over the past week, Mr Sarkozy had appeared to retreat from his original comments following a backlash over the way that they were being used against immigrants, particularly Muslims.

But in a column for Le Monde, Mr Sarkozy returned to his theme and said that the result of the Swiss referendum showed how important it was for France to define its identity.

"Instead of condemning the Swiss out of hand, we should try to understand what they meant to express and what so many people in Europe feel, including people in France," he wrote. "Nothing would be worse than denial."

Mr Sarkozy called for tolerance and underlined France's respect for all faiths, but his message was intended primarily to reassure those who are unhappy about what they see as a threatening Muslim presence in the country.

"Christians, Jews, Muslims, all believers regardless of their faith, must refrain from ostentation and provocation and ... practice their religion in humble discretion," Mr Sarkozy wrote.

THIS IS A GOOD START. AND ABOUT FUCKING TIME.

IT'S REALLY NOW OR NEVER FOR EUROPE: EITHER MORE NATIONS FOLLOW THE SWISS LEAD, AND GET TOUGHER ABOUT DEFENDING EUROPEAN CULTURE, OR EUROPE WILL BE JUST LIKE TURKEY IN ONE GENERATION.

ISLAMIZATION OD EUROPE IS NEARING A TIPPING POINT, AND SO IS THE AGW MADNESS.

WE MUST NOT GIVE UP ON EITHER FRONT!

IRAN AND TURKEY TELL SPAIN TO GIVE BACK ANDALUSIA; ITALY AND FRANCE DEMAND TURKEY RETURN ISTANBUL TO GREECE

IRAN AND TURKEY TELL SPAIN TO GIVE BACK ANDALUSIA; ITALY AND FRANCE DEMAND TURKEY RETURN ISTANBUL TO GREECE.

NOT.

BUT THE EU IS DEMANDING ISRAEL SHARE JERUSALEM.

  • AND IT'S JUST AS SILLY.
  • EXCEPT THAT NOBODY IN THE WEST WOULD EVER DARE TELL ANY OTHER NATION THIS KIND OF THING.
  • THEY ONLY DEMAND IT OF ISRAEL.
  • AND THAT MAKES IT ANTISEMITIC: WHEN YOU HAVE SEPARATE STANDARDS FOR JEWS AND ISRAELIS YOU ARE ANTISEMITIC.
OF COURSE, AL QAEDA TYPES MAKE THESE SORT OF DEMANDS ON EVERYONE ALL THE TIME.

IT'S ONE REASON THEY'RE EXTREMISTS:
  • THEY MAKE OUTRAGEOUSLY UNREASONABLE AND THREATENING DEMANDS ON THIRD PARTIES REGARDING LAND AND BORDERS.
  • YES: WITH REGARD TO JERUSALEM, THE EU IS BEHAVING MORE LIKE JIHADO-EXTREMISTS THAN CIVILIZED PEOPLE.
  • BY SIDING WITH JIHADISTS IN HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND FATAH AGAINST ISRAEL THEY REINFORCE THIS CHARACTERIZATION.

NO SURPRISE HERE:

EUROPEANS - WHO AFTER ALL, ARE JUST NAZIS AND FOLKS WHO ACCEDED TO NAZIS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS - SHOULD KEEP THEIR FREAKIN' NOSES OUT OF THE WHOLE DAMN BUSINESS.

CONYERS SUGGESTS GENERALS OUGHT NOT BE CONSULTED ON TROOP DEPLOYMENT DECISIONS

From the Hill:

Obama’s move to send in 30,000 troops to Afghanistan by the summer of 2010 has clearly disappointed Conyers.

He said he intends to press his case in writing soon.

“I want something so serious that he has to respond in writing, like I am responding in writing to him,” he said.

“Calling in generals and admirals to discuss troop strength is like me taking my youngest to McDonald’s to ask if he likes french fries,” Conyers said.

Many on the left have argued that military leaders routinely respond to crises by calling for more troops.

The Left would like to take Military decisions out of the hands of the Military.

But, who should we give such decision-making powers to?

How about the EPA.

Climategate: Barack Obama's rule by EPA decree is a coup d'etat against Congress

UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST

Why is it the British papers seem to understand Obama better than the American rags?

From Gerald Warner in the Telegraph:

Who needs tanks on the lawn when you have the Environmental Protection Agency? Barack Obama’s use of the EPA to pressurise the Senate to pass his climate change Nuremberg Decrees shows his dictatorial mentality. He wants to override Congress, which is hostile to his climate gobbledegook because it is representative of the American electorate, and sideline the nation’s elected Senators by ruling by decree, courtesy of the EPA. This is a coup d’état.

And what is the justification for this undemocratic action? The allegedly imminent threat from “Anthropogenic Global Warming”. There is always a supposed threat, when tyrants take the stage. The President of the United States has just reduced his moral authority to the level of any Third World dictator heading a “Government of National Emergency”. Fortunately, the world’s leading democracy, which he is trying to subvert, has guarantees of liberty so deeply embedded in its Constitution that US citizens are well placed to fight back.

Back in February of 2009, when the EPA first announced its intention to look into whether to regulate CO2 and other "Greenhouse Gases", the New York Times predicted EPA findings would have an effect on Copenhagen:

The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to act for the first time to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists blame for the warming of the planet, according to top Obama administration officials.

The decision, which most likely would play out in stages over a period of months, would have a profound impact on transportation, manufacturing costs and how utilities generate power. It could accelerate the progress of energy and climate change legislation in Congress and form a basis for the United States’ negotiating position at United Nations climate talks set for December in Copenhagen.

But, if the EPA decision to crackdown on Carbon was to, as the NYT says, "form a basis for the U.S. negotiating position" at Copenhagen, then why did they wait until the very day of the start of the Copenhagen summit?

I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE OBAMA IS, AS GERALD WARNER IS SAYING ABOVE, ATTEMPTING TO SUBVERT THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

As was revealed yesterday, rich countries are being encouraged to provide financing for poor ones at the Copenhagen summt.

I think it is safe to assume Obama knew of this agenda going into the summit.

But, if he was aware that rich countries would be asked to pony up funds for the poor countries, where did he expect to get the money?

Did he think Congress would vote to give American taxpayer's money to the United Nations?

No, I don't think Obama believed that was a possibility.

Instead, I believe Obama intends to fine businesses who violate the EPA's regulations on "Greenhouse Gases", and use the money from those fines as booty for "developing countries".

As Reliapundit wrote yesterday, Copenhagen is all about Socialism.

IT'S ABOUT SOCIALISM ON A WORLDWIDE LEVEL.

Obama knows American voters would not approve.

He knows Congress would be unlikely to vote for Worldwide Socialism given the huge uproar that would come from American taxpayers/voters.

So, he is going to just steal the money from the corporations that are the engine of our economy.

And, he is going to hand American money over to third world countries.

Or, so he thinks.

It will be more than interesting to see how this plays out.


UPDATE:

OH YEAH? WHERE DOES HE PLAN TO GET THE MONEY?

Obama, in Shift, Expects Climate Deal at Summit

WASHINGTON -- The White House said late Friday that President Barack Obama now expects a "meaningful" climate deal at a United Nations summit in Copenhagen, possibly involving a commitment for rich nations to provide $10 billion a year by 2012 to help developing countries fight climate change.

The White House said the U.S. is prepared to pay its "fair share" of the $10 billion.



Reliapundit points out that the EPA can not write a check to the UN.

That is true.

But, that does not take away from the fact that Obama, somehow, believes he is going to be able to pony up this money.

Once again, I point back to the EPA ruling. That's where Obama thinks he's he's getting the money from.

After all, it's not taxes. It's only fines. Therefore, it does not belong to taxpayers.

That's how Obama thinks.

CLIMATE SUMMIT IN DISARRAY AFTER DANISH TEXT LEAK

It's insane to think that a NY'er would have to emit the same co2 as a bushman in Swaziland.

And it's stupid to worry about developing countries at all if they don't emit much co2 and if emitting co2 is so catastrophic; if this is the case then the developed nations merely have to cut and they can do that by rationing at once. as Kyoto attempted.

By saying that they would hand receipts to the World Bank they further expose their real aim: a transfer of capital from the developed to the underdeveloped nations: global socialism.


Copenhagen

Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN's negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents.

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.

The document also sets unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.

The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as "the circle of commitment" – but understood to include the UK, US and
Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week.

The agreement, leaked to the Guardian, is a departure from the Kyoto protocol's principle that rich nations, which have emitted the bulk of the CO2, should take on firm and binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, while poorer nations were not compelled to act.


The draft hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank; would abandon the Kyoto protocol – the only legally binding treaty that the world has on emissions reductions; and would make any money to help poor countries adapt to climate change dependent on them taking a range of actions.

The document was described last night by one senior diplomat as "a very dangerous document for developing countries. It is a fundamental reworking of the UN balance of obligations. It is to be superimposed without discussion on the talks".

A confidential analysis of the text by developing countries also seen by the Guardian shows deep unease over details of the text. In particular, it is understood to:

• Force developing countries to agree to specific emission cuts and measures that were not part of the original UN agreement;

• Divide poor countries further by creating a new category of developing countries called "the most vulnerable";

• Weaken the UN's role in handling climate finance;

• Not allow poor countries to emit more than 1.44 tonnes of carbon per person by 2050, while allowing rich countries to emit 2.67 tonnes.

Developing countries that have seen the text are understood to be furious that it is being promoted by rich countries without their knowledge and without discussion in the negotiations.

"It is being done in secret. Clearly the intention is to get [Barack] Obama and the leaders of other rich countries to muscle it through when they arrive next week. It effectively is the end of the UN process," said one diplomat, who asked to remain nameless.

The text was intended by Denmark and rich countries to be a working framework, which would be adapted by countries over the next week. It is particularly inflammatory because it sidelines the UN negotiating process and suggests that rich countries are desperate for
world leaders to have a text to work from when they arrive next week.

Few numbers or figures are included in the text because these would be filled in later by world leaders. However, it seeks to hold temperature rises to 2C and mentions the sum of $10bn a year to help poor countries adapt to climate change from 2012-15.

AGW: THE LEFT IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

THE LEFT SAID THE SURGE WOULDN'T WORK.

IT DID WORK.

THE LEFT SAID WELFARE REFORM WOULDN'T WORK.

IT DID WORK.

THE LEFT SAID THE REAGAN TAX CUT WOULDN'T WORK.

IT DID WORK.

AND SO ON.

ON THE BIGGEST ISSUES OF THE DAY, THE LEFT HAS BEEN WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

NOW THEY'RE TELLING US THAT CO2 IS HARMFUL, THAT'S IT'S CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING, THAT THIS GLOBAL WARMING IS GOING TO BE CATASTROPHIC IF WE DON'T REDUCE THE CO2 WE PUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE IMMEDIATELY AND DRASTICALLY.

THEY'RE WRONG AGAIN.

IT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS GIVING KSM AN NYC TRIAL.

IT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS SETTING A DEADLINE FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN - OR ANYWHERE WE'RE FIGHTING THE ENEMY.

IT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS RAISING TAXES TO HELP STIMULATE THE ECONOMY.

IT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS THINKING THAT TAKING GUNS AWAY FROM LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS WILL LOWER CRIME.

SO, IF YOU'RE NOT SURE ABOUT GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE - AND WHETHER IT'S A RESULT OF MAN-MADE CO2 - (AND MAY I REMIND YOU THAT HUMANS PRODUCE 1/20TH THE CO2 AS PLANTS!), THEN JUST REMEMBER THIS:

IT'S A SAFE BET, THAT IF THE LEFT IS FOR IT - IT'S WRONG.

The EPA's Tyrannical Declarations Were Based on Fraudulent Data

No, seriously. Further to Pastorius' post about the EPA, Sen. Inhofe explains that the basis for the EPA's MannBearPig endangerment finding was based entirely on fraudulent, manipulated data.



Unfrackingreal.

And this is supposed to exactly do what about this nightmare? (Via Van Helsing at Moonbattery.) I get the sense that the Jobs Summit was largely focused on how to deflect our attention so that we wouldn't make the connection and realize that our corrupt elected officials and their unelected czars are trying to Cloward-Piven us into full-on Zimbabwe-ization.

WHAT "CLIMATE CHANGE" IS REALLY ALL ABOUT AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN ABOUT FROM THE START: GLOBAL SOCIALISM




























WHAT AGW IS REALLY ALL ABOUT AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN ABOUT FROM THE START: GLOBAL SOCIALISM

TODAY IN COPENHAGEN, THE MASK SLIPPED A LITTLE:

NYTIMES - "Rich Countries Urged to Provide Financing for Poor Ones at Climate Talks"

Connie Hedegaard, the Danish minister for the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen, said financing for poor countries to adapt to a warmer planet was key to a successful accord.

Pushing rich-world countries like the United States and the European Union to lay money on the table for poor countries may prove to be the most significant obstacle to reaching a global agreement on curbing global warming, Connie Hedegaard, the Danish minister for the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen, warned at an opening ceremony for the conference on Monday.

... On Saturday, Achim Steiner, the head of the United Nations Environment Program, warned wealthy industrialized countries to come up with an adequate financing package for poorer countries or risk a public outcry in Copenhagen.
LINDZEN HAS SPOKEN ABOUT THIS: (VIDEO AT LINK)
As far back as the 1970’s, Bert Bolin, advisor to the Swedish Prime Minister and later the first head of the IPCC openly announced that “Climate Change” would be used as a vehicle to implement a variety of agendas.

Two cooperating institutions emerged n the 1990’s:

- the Tyndal Centre for Climate Studies at UEA, headed by Michael Hulme

- Potsdam Institute for Climate impact Research, headed by Joachim Schellnhuber

Both these institutions epitomize the exploitation of the climate issue.

Both have interlocking directorates (they are effectively one institution).

Mike Hulme’s recent book “Why We Disagree About Climate Change” contains some revealing quotes. He readily acknowledges that the science is uncertain, but that this doesn’t matter given the uses that this issue may be put:
The idea of climate change should be seen as an intellectual resource around which our collective and personal identities and projects can form and take shape. We need to ask not what we can do for climate change, but what climate change can do for us.”

“Because the idea of climate change is so plastic. It can be deployed across many of our human projects and can serve many of our psychological, ethical and spiritual needs.”

“We will continue to create and tell new stories about climate change and mobilise them in support of our projects.”

“These myths transcend the scientific categories of “true” and “false.”
“Create a concept and reality leaves the room”
– quote which might apply to CAGW.

The vulnerability of science was well understood by President Eisenhower, in his farewell address to the nation in 1961, he said “that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite” and that “Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract virtually becomes a substitute for intellectual curiosity …. The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations and the power of money is ever present, and is gravely to be regarded.
AGW IS RUSE.









ALL THE AGW ALARMISTS REALLY WANT IS TO SHACKLE INDUSTRY AND THE FREEMARKET TO HIGH TAXES TO FINANCE THEIR SOCIALIST-UTOPIANISTIC TRANSNATIONAL GOALS


THE LEFT IS ALWAYS EMPLOYING THESE SEEMINGLY "HIGH & MIGHTY" SOP'S - LIKE "PC":


OH, YOU CAN'T SAY THIS OR THAT ABOUT THEIR "PETS", BUT YOU CAN CALL BUSH "BUSHITLER" AND SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT ABOUT PALIN.


IF THEY WERE REALLY FOR CIVIL DIALOG THEN THEY WOULDN'T HAVE CALLED BUSH BUSHITLER - OR BE CALLING TEA PARTYERS "TEABAGGERS".


THE LEFT RESORTS TO THESE RUSES BECAUSE THE LEFT KNOWS THEY CAN'T DEFEND THEIR ACTIONS OR GOALS ON THE MERITS, SO THEY RESORT TO LIES, PROPAGANDA, SUBTERFUGE, VICTIMHOOD ETC - AND WHY THEY TRY TO IMPLEMENT THEIR AGENDA VIA STEALTH.


IT'S WHY THE LEFT CONSTANTLY CALLS ANYONE WHO IS CRITICAL OF OBAMA'S IDEOLOGY A RACIST.


OCCASIONALLY THE MASK SLIPS.
