Bush/McCain’s gas price scam is an Enron rerun

The Bush/McCain gas price escalation is an Enron rerun. It is Chapter 2 of the scam Bush crony “Kenny Boy” Lay used in 1999-2001 to steal $100 billion from California ratepayers.

Now this administration is replicating that crisis to funnel untold billions into the coffers of its oil baron backers . . . and to push the failed strategies of offshore drilling and nuke power.

My name is Edgar J. Steele.

Even the most ardent of Barack Obama’s supporters generally will confess to a small, nagging (dare I say niggling?) doubt about the object of their ardor.

Similarly, even Obama’s most vocal opposition stops and stares just a bit overlong when they see him speaking.

What an odd situation.

Obama Nation or Abomination?

I recall the JFK era and, while Obama is no JFK – not by a far stretch, I might add – some similarities do exist, similarities that have more to do with grace and appearance than with character and substance.  Put your prejudices aside and admit it:  Not only is Barack Obama rather handsome, he moves and speaks with a natural grace unseen on the national stage in quite some time.

Pay just a little attention, however, and it becomes clear that Obama never really says anything.  That is no mistake and it is not because he has nothing to say, either.  He knows exactly what he is doing, rest assured.  Obama puts the smoke with the mirrors of Jerry Brown’s classic observation about politics:  “A little vagueness goes a long way in this business.”

PROUD PAGAN WITCH BACKS OBAMA’S POVERTY BILL

While Senator Barack Obama struggles to keep the public in the dark about the nature of his pro-U.N. Global Poverty Act, a recent “Bay Area Interfaith Leaders’ Luncheon” was held to lobby for Senate passage of the bill, whose cost has been estimated at $845 billion. An actual witch who spoke at a “Pagan Pride” festival in San Francisco was one of the listed participants.

The witch, known as the “Elder Donald Frew” of the “Wiccan Community,” was interviewed by the Reverend Don Lewis of “Witch School International” for a “reality” show called “Magick TV” and is shown talking about his involvement in the United Nations-backed United Religions Initiative. You can see the interview here. Magick TV features a “daily spell.”

MICHELLE OBAMA, FIRST LADY WANNABE

Does Michelle Obama remind you more of Teresa Heinz Kerry or former First Lady Hillary Clinton? Read on and decide for yourself.

As we recall, First Lady wannabe Teresa had a habit of shooting first and aiming second. Remember when she wondered out loud whether Laura Bush “ever had a real job”? And the time she cut off a reporter’s questions with the rebuke, “Now shove it.”?

Likewise, Mrs. O has a penchant for freely speaking her mind on almost any topic.

Speaking to CBS reporter Steve Kroft, Michelle commented, “As a Black man, Barack can be shot just going to a gas station.” (Note to would-be gunslingers: Next time you see a white woman at the gas station, try to hold your fire.)

EXTREME ENVIRONMENTALISM IS DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH

There is a Religion that has been growing in stature over the last decade. Now it is becoming one of the most powerful, well funded and organized Religions ever. It is the Religion of “environmentalism” and worship of animals and nature. In this Religion people are in the way and way down the totem pole of worth next to animals and nature. The organizations and people behind this have unlimited amounts of money, both foreign and domestic. Their goal is to control land, people and the world, having ultimate, global power and money. If you look at The Earth Charter you get the idea. They use all sorts of manipulative language hoping you don’t notice it is the worship of animals and nature with you and I being the unpardonable sin. We are the endless cause of carbon emissions and problems.

If you think I’ve waxed a little insane and conspiratorial, why are we seeing the environmentalists cramming bills and laws into place at the state and federal level, trying to seize millions of acres of property all across this country? You may not have followed or tracked just how many areas across the U.S. are being studied to turn into national parks and wetland areas. Right now there is a study group looking at turning the entire Mississippi river into a national park. Translation, that would mean seizing, hundreds of thousands of acres all around the river that would have to be morphed into wet land areas. Goodbye farm lands and major food sources for America. Now the farmers, land and business owners would be controlled, regulated and go through permit hell before they could do things with their property, water crops and act like normal farmers.

I interviewed Chuck Cushman, director of Landrights.org last night and asked him how the environmentalists position and manipulate their land grabs. He said they first circle a big chunk of land, like the Y to Y corridor (Yukon To Yellowstone Land Grab) use the excuses in congress of “clean water” “preserving national treasures and wetlands” nature and certain animals. Once the take over happens, farms and businesses within the mapped area notice the new regulations and permit process that is unfolded to do any normal thing with the land. Roads here and there begin to be closed because they are compromising to animal life or plant life. At this stage you see businesses and farms starting to perish due to traffic diminishing and regulations and permits overwhelming the people. Hark, the good news is that the Bruno snail and trees are happy.

Allow me to share with you a few of the many land grabs that have been or are in the works now. S 2739 Omnibus Parks Bill, Rim of the Valley, HR 2421 Clean Water Act (Wetlands), S 1870 Senate Wetlands, HR 3287, HR 2593 Grijalva Border Wilderness, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) Yukon To Yellowstone Land Grab, Bouquot Canyon Fire Threat. In addition, there is a current study group looking at turning in the entire Mississippi river into a national park.

These land grab attempts are unconstitutional and don’t reflect the original purpose in our constitution for using eminent domain for a city to finish a highway or stop blight in an area. As you may recall in the Kelo v.s. New London decision in the Supreme Court, they ruled that even a major corporation can trump the rights of the small business and homeowners. The City and big corporation won because the city would make more money and tax revenue with the big corporation developing the area. Since then many states have limited the use of eminent domain.

NOT TO OFFEND LESBIANS AND SINGLE MOTHERS, FATHER’S DAY BANNED IN SCOTTISH SCHOOLS

Following the recent law in Britain prohibiting the use of the words mom (‘mum’) and dad in public schools, the politically-correct forces in Europe once again succeeded — this time having fathers removed from their children’s classrooms.

According to reports coming out of Edinburgh, Scotland, children in public schools are prohibited from making Father’s Day cards and related gifts as was customary in the past.

The rationale given by school administrators for their action is their wish to avoid embarrassing school children who live with single mothers or lesbian partners. According to conservative political strategist Michael Baker, who for years predicted such political-correctness, this new school policy was secretly adopted by the public school system without the input of students’ parents.

Hand Signal Pays Respect to Soldiers in Uniform
KNDO ^ | June 23, 2008

SEATTLE, Wash– A Seattle man started a trend that pays respect to soldiers in uniform when they are in public places like airports. Since launching a website in September he’s received millions of web hits.

The trend is called the Gratitude Campaign and it all starts with a hand signal that you can do anytime you see a soldier in uniform. The signal is a new way to thank soldiers for their service without having to interrupt them or make them feel uncomfortable.

Gunny G: Good Old Harry Truman Wanted To Be A Piano Player….

June 27, 2008 1 comment

This just came to me by way of my daily e-mail–so I have no idea as to its authenticity. Who cares anyway, I liked old Harry.

Never before heard of him turning down a MOH, either.

Whether you liked HST or not, he was entertaining. I like the one just below here about wanting to be a piano player….

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, ‘My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.’

Here’s another one I like….

Gunny G: So, What The Hell Is HAARP?

June 27, 2008 2 comments

What is HAARP? – three short articles

HAARP FACT SHEET

“HAARP”, an acronym for “High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program”, is a project having the goal of studying fundamental physical principles which govern the region of the earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere. It is through this region that earth-based communications and radar transmissions must travel to reach satellites or to probe solar and planetary bodies; and conversely, for radio signals from outside the immediate environment of the earth to reach its surface. It also is from these ionized layers that radio waves reflect to achieve over-the-horizon communication and radar systems. The proposed research will be undertaken using high power radio transmitters to probe the overhead ionosphere, combined with a complement of modern scientific diagnostic instruments to investigate the results of the interactions.

Our offspring are becoming the footsoldiers of the re-education crusade

Once upon a time, not so long ago, parents were supposed to educate children in the ways of the world. But the Government appears to have turned that arrangement on its head. Now it is deemed the job of children to teach parents right from wrong.

I have concluded that both sexes are grave mistakes, and constitute a sort of festering biological schizophrenia (if schizophrenia can fester), but they seem to be errors of different sorts. I wonder whether men and women live in quite the same mental world.

It would be fascinating to get Zogby to run a poll which would ask the following questions:

The Second World War in Italy: was it worth it?

The Second World War in Italy: was it worth it?

The folly and brutality of war, from Sicily to the Po Valley

During the Italian campaign in the Second World War the Allied forces lost over 300,000 men, the Germans perhaps half a million. Probably over a million Italians were killed or wounded, to say nothing of the destruction inflicted on virtually every town and village between Sicily and the Po Valley.

No battlefield could have been worse chosen. For nearly two years the Allied armies had to fight for mountain after mountain, hill after hill, in a theatre that might have been specifically designed for defensive war. The decision to invade the Italian mainland was taken at only six weeks’ notice, and had to be carried out by armies neither equipped nor trained for the mountain warfare that lay ahead of them. Likewise, the decision to defend the peninsula was made only after the campaign had begun, when the German commander on the spot, Albert Kesselring, persuaded Hitler to abandon the original intention to pull back to the Apennines and allow him to defend the mountains south of Rome. The result was two years of fighting in a theatre at best secondary, and one in which the Allies always found themselves at a disadvantage. Was it worth it?

Who’s Planning Our Next War? by Patrick J. Buchanan

DIGG THIS

Of the Axis-of-Evil nations named in his State of the Union in 2002, President Bush has often said, “The United States will not permit the world’s most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world’s most destructive weapons.”

He failed with North Korea. Will he accept failure in Iran, though there is no hard evidence Iran has an active nuclear weapons program?

William Kristol of The Weekly Standard said Sunday a U.S. attack on Iran after the election is more likely should Barack Obama win. Presumably, Bush would trust John McCain to keep Iran nuclear free.

Yet, to start a third war in the Middle East against a nation three times as large as Iraq, and leave it to a new president to fight, would be a daylight hijacking of the congressional war power and a criminally irresponsible act. For Congress alone has the power to authorize war.

Yet Israel is even today pushing Bush into a pre-emptive war with a naked threat to attack Iran itself should Bush refuse the cup.

Liberals, who hate guns almost as much as they hate cars, got a well-deserved lesson in Second Amendment rights when the Supreme Court spit in their face by ruling that the Constitution really does guarantee the right of Americans to own guns.
