MORE PROOF AGW IS BS: POLAR BEAR SIGHTINGS REACH RECORD HIGHS

THE ARCTIC SOUNDER: Polar bear appearances grow on oil fields

Polar bear encounters on the North Slope oil fields have risen to record levels the last two years, a sign that increasing numbers of the white giants may be prowling on land because the sea ice they prefer is shrinking, scientists said.

Oil field sightings along the southern Beaufort Sea coast jumped to 321 in 2007 and 313 in 2008, said Craig Perham, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist in Anchorage.

That’s more than double the 15-year average of 138. It’s also a sharp rise from 232, the previous high in 2005.

Oil companies are legally required to report a polar bear encounter to Fish and Wildlife that involves any change in the animal’s behavior, even if the bear simply lifts its head to sniff the air, Perham said.

The measure is designed to protect polar bears and humans by providing information on the bears’ whereabouts and behavior.

Increased sightings might also be up because new exploration work has taken place on the near-coast areas where polar bears are usually found, he said.

For example, ships doing seismic exploration in the Beaufort Sea have waited out storms on barrier islands those years, giving workers the chance to spot polar bears numerous times, sometimes the same animal.

Perham hasn’t “teased out” the data to find out exactly what it means, he said. “Truth be told, we don’t know,” he said.

OF COURSE THEW AGW ALARMISTS BLAME RECEDING ICE DUE TO MAN-MADE CO2 WHICH IS CAUSING THE ENTIRE GLOBE TO HEAT UP AND MELT THE ICE CAPS AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DROWN!!!!!!!

OF COURSE... THE FACT THAT AGW ALARMISTS ARGUE THAT POLAR BEARS DECREASING NUMBERS AND INCREASING NUMBERS ARE BOTH THE RESULT OF MAN-MADE CO2 HEATING UP THE ENTIRE GLOBE REALLY PROVES ONE THING: AGW IN NOT FALSIFIABLE AND HENCE IT IS NOT RATIONAL.

WHICH MAKES CAP & TRADE THE BIGGEST MOST IDIOTIC FOLLY EVAH!

UNLESS YOU'RE A SOCIALIST, THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT'S REALLY JUST A TROJAN HORSE FOR SOCIALISM AND REALLY INTENDED TO SHACKLE INDUSTRY.

[AND THAT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER THING:

• CAP & TRADE IS A TROJAN HORSE THE SAME WAY OBAMA'S HEALTHCARE PLAN IS A TROJAN HORSE.

• THE LEFT OPERATES THIS WAY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T PAS THE THINGS THEY WANT IF PEOPLE REALLY KNEW WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.

• SO THEY LIE.]

MICHAEL JACKSON WAS INSANE AND A DANGER TO CHILDREN - INCLUDING HIS OWN

HE HAD GREAT MUSICAL TALENT - AND LITTLE ELSE GOOD.

REMEMBER THIS?


IF HE HAD HAD EVEN JUST A LITTLE WISDOM HE WOULD BE A LIVE WITH ONE BILLION IN THE BANK, INSTEAD OF DEAD AND LEAVING BEHIND RED-INK TOTALING $400 MILLION.

IF HE HAD HAD SOME REAL SUPPORT - SOME TOUGH LOVE - INSTEAD OF A BUNCH OF USERS AND HANGERS ON, THEN MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE OFF THE DEEP END AND DISFIGURED HIMSELF AND DONE SO MANY EVIL THINGS.

PITY. BUT IN THE END, NO ONE IS AT FAULT MORE THAN MICHAEL HIMSELF.

PITY.

IRAN DISSECTED:IT'S THE ISLAMO-HOMOS VERSUS THE FREEDOM LOVING HOT IRANIAN CHICKS

THIS BATTLE IS ALL ABOUT ONE THING: MULLAHS WHO WANT TO KEEP TREATING HOT IRANIAN WOMEN LIKE CHATTEL.



I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE MULLAHS ARE HOMOS.


WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE WIN?

IRAN PAUSES: NYTIMES - MELANCHOLY DESCENDS; ME - IT'S THE QUIET BEFORE THE STORM...

NYTIMES: An eerie stillness has settled over this normally frenetic city.

In less anxious times, the streets are clogged with honking cars and cranky commuters. But on Saturday, drives that normally last 45 minutes took just a third of the time, and shops were mainly empty. Even Tehran’s beauty salons, normally hives of activity, had few customers; at one, bored workers fussed over one another’s hair.

People who did venture out said they were dispirited by the upheaval that has shaken this country over the two weeks since the contested presidential election, and worried they would get caught up in the brutal government crackdown of dissent that has followed.

Even in areas of the city not known for liberal politics, the sense of frustration, and despair, was palpable. Those who accuse the government of stealing the election said they had lost the hope for change they had during the protests that drew tens of thousands of people into Tehran’s streets. But others also confessed to feeling depressed.

ME: JUST A HUNCH, BUT I FEEL IT'S THE QUIET BEFORE THE STORM...

• ONE REASON I FEEL THIS WAY: THE NYTIMES IS ALWAYS WRONG.

• YES: THE REGIME'S CRACKDOWN IS HAVING AN EFFECT.

• BUT THE YOUTH HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

• THEY NEED ENCOURAGEMENT.

• IF ONLY OBAMA WOULD DO SOMETHING POSITIVE!

*******UPDATE: AP AGREES WITH THE NYTIMES.

WHICH MEANS I AM GONNA BE RIGHT!

HERE'S ANOTHER REASON: BIG MONEY FROM IRAN IS LEAVING - AND THAT MEANS PEOPLE IN THE KNOW FEAR MORE TROUBLE.

STAY TUNED...

MUSIC VIDEO: WITH CAP & TRADE, UNCLE SAM IS GOING GREEN - AS IN RAISING TAXES

Seriously, first, Cap & Trade will not impact global CO2 one iota.

And second , it will cost the USA jobs and raise the costs of everything to everybody.

And third, it will make us more dependent on foreign oil and gas.

GOLLY: that makes it a left-wing socialist TRIFECTA!

1. It will make the USA poorer - more like a Third World nation.
2. It will make America more dependent on other nations.
3. It will reduce consumption.

These three things are what it's all really about. The postmodern left has long wanted to take the USA down a notch. Cap & Trade will do that - and then some!

AZNAR: "This is no time for hesitation on the part of the West."

J-M AZNAR:

If there hadn't been dissidents in the Soviet Union, the Communist regime never would have crumbled. And if the West hadn't been concerned about their fate, Soviet leaders would have ruthlessly done away with them. They didn't because the Kremlin feared the response of the Free World.

Just like the Soviet dissidents who resisted communism, those who dare to march through the streets of Tehran and stand up against the Islamic regime founded by the Ayatollah Khomeini 30 years ago represent the greatest hope for change in a country built on the repression of its people. At stake is nothing less than the legitimacy of a system incompatible with respect for individual rights. Also at stake is the survival of a theocratic regime that seeks to be the dominant power in the region, the indisputable spiritual leader of the Muslim world, and the enemy of the West.

The Islamic Republic that the ayatollahs have created is not just any power. To defend a strict interpretation of the Quran, Khomeini created the Pasdaran, the Revolutionary Guard, which today is a true army. To expand its ideology and influence Iran has not hesitated to create, sustain and use proxy terrorist groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. And to impose its fundamentalist vision beyond its borders, Iran is working frantically to obtain nuclear weapons.

Those who protest against the blatant electoral fraud that handed victory to the fanatical Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are in reality demanding a change of regime. Thus, the regime has resorted to beating and shooting its citizens in a desperate attempt to squash the pro-democracy movement.

This is no time for hesitation on the part of the West. If, as part of an attempt to reach an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program, the leaders of democratic nations turn their backs on the dissidents they will be making a terrible mistake.

RTWT.

AZNAR IS 100 TIMES THE MAN OBAMA IS. AND ZAPATERO, TOO.

IT IS A VERY SAD TIME FOR THE FREE WORLD WHEN A CORRUPT, INEXPERIENCED SOCIALIST LIKE OBAMA ISM POTUS.

VERY SAD - ESPECIALLY NOW FOR THE IRANIANS, BUT SOON ALL OF US.

YES: ALL OF US - THE WHOLE FREE WORLD, UNLESS WE STOP OBAMA.

MORE HERE - AT AMERICAN POWER.

"DON'T YOU THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXPECT US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S IN THIS BILL BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT?"

John Boehner on the Global Warming Bill:




I guess the answer to his question was "No", because the House passed the bill just hours after the 300-page bill was released.

And, let us not forget the predicted effect (perhaps, the goal?) of this Cap and Trade policy:

CAP & TRADE = "CAP GROWTH" AND "TRADE AWAY JOBS", AND IT WON'T REDUCE GLOBAL CO2 ONE BIT. THE ONLY THING IT WILL REDUCE IS OUR LIBERTY

CAP & TRADE = "CAP GROWTH" AND "TRADE AWAY JOBS", AND IT WON'T REDUCE GLOBAL CO2 ONE BIT.

THE ONLY THING IT WILL REDUCE IS OUR LIBERTY

IT AIN'T ME JUST SAYING IT.

IT'S A FACT.

• EVERYTHING WE DO REQUIRES ENERGY.

• AND MOST OF OUR ENERGY PRODUCES CO2 AS A BY-PRODUCT.

• YOU CANNOT AS A TAX BURDEN ON CO2 WITHOUT RAISING THE PRICE OF ENERGY, AND RAISING THE PRICE OF ENERGY RAISES THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING.

• AND THAT WILL DEPRESS ECONOMIC ACTIVITY - AT A TIME WHEN WE NEED TO GENERATE AND STIMULATE MORE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.
  

IF CAP & TRADE WAS ENACTED AT A TIME WHEN ECONOMIC GROWTH WAS GREAT, IT WOULD SLOW IT.

NOW - WHEN GROWTH IS AT A BARE MINIMUM AND WE ARE CLAWING OUR WAY OUT OF A DEEP RECESSION IT IS INSANE.

REPEAT: IF CAP & TRADE WAS ENACTED AT A TIME WHEN ECONOMIC GROWTH WAS GREAT, IT WOULD SLOW IT.

NOW - WHEN GROWTH IS AT A BARE MINIMUM AND WE ARE CLAWING OUR WAY OUT OF A DEEP RECESSION IT IS INSANE.

• QUESTION: ARE OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES INSANE?

• ANSWER: YES, PARTLY.

LEFTIST UTOPIANISM IS AN IRRATIONAL AND DELUSIONAL WAY OF THINKING.

AND IT ALWAYS HAS BAD CONSEQUENCES; JUST LOOK AT THE USSR AND MAOIST CHINA AND NORTH KOREA AND ZIMBABWE AND CUBA AND KAMPUCHEA, AND SO ON.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES THINK THAT THEY ARE IN A WIN-WIN:

• FIRST, THEY THINK THAT THEIR POLICIES MIGHT WORK;

• AND SECOND, THEY THINK THAT IF THEY DON'T WORK THAT THEN THE CRISIS WHICH FOLLOWS WILL BE ONE IN WHICH THEY CAN INFLICT US WITH EVEN MORE SOCIALISM.

IF MORE GOVERNMENT AND CENTRAL PLANNING AND ARTIFICIAL CONSTRAINTS ON THE MARKETPLACE WORKED BETTER THAN THE MARKETPLACE, THEN GORBACHEV WOULD STILL BE RUNNING THE USSR.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS: PROSPERITY IS A BY-PRODUCT OF LIBERTY.

• JUST BECAUSE IT PASSED THE HOUSE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OVER.

• WE CAN AND MUST DEFEAT CAP & TRADE IN THE US SENATE.

• IT'S NOT JUST OUR ECONOMY WHICH IS AT STAKE.

• THE FREE WORLD IS AT STAKE - BECAUSE WITHOUT A ROBUST USA, THE FREE WORLD WILL COLLAPSE.

• THOUGH LEFTISTS AND THEIR HEROES HAVE LONG DREAMED OF IT, THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE A DISASTER FOR HUMANITY.

YES: THAT MUCH IS AT STAKE, AND WE MUST FIGHT FOR IT EVERY BIT AS HARD AS THE FOUNDING FATHERS FOUGHT GEORGE III.

If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending -- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained -- we must fight!

I repeat it, sir, we must fight!

... we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.

The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.

Besides ... we shall not fight our battles alone.

There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

... Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

Forbid it, Almighty God!

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

BOMB THREAT AT SAUDI AIRPORTS: MORE IRANIAN MISCHIEF?

ASIAN AGE:

Security personnel at the International Airport here swung into action after the Jeddah office of Saudi Airlines alerted the Bureau of Civil Aviation Securities (BCAS) about an anonymous bomb threat to a flight operating from India to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Airlines authorities reportedly informed the BCAS of the threat, the authenticity of which could not be confirmed, airport sources said.

The BCAS subsequently alerted all the airports in the country about the threat, the sources said adding that, it was also not clear whether the threat was to any specific flight, they said.

Security measures have been strengthened in and around Kochi airport from Friday night onwards. Additional CISF and police personnel have been deployed. All vehicles approaching the airport were being checked thoroughly, the sources said.

I STILL FEEL THAT IRAN IS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS AND IS GETTING THEIR STOOGES OVERSEAS TO STAGE AS MANY TERROR ATTACKS AS POSSIBLE OVERSEAS IN ORDER TO GET THE WEST TO DIVERT ITS ATTENTION FROM THEIR WAVE OF DOMESTIC/INTERNAL TERROR.

AND I THINK ATTACKING THE SAUDIS IS ONE FRONT. AND I FEEL THAT THIS THREAT AGAINST SAUDI AIRPORTS IS OF IRANIAN ORIGIN.

POLITICIDE IN IRAN: HRW: BASIJI CONDUCTING NIGHT RAIDS

REUTERS:

Iranian paramilitary Basij forces stage nightly raids in Tehran, invading private homes and beating residents in an attempt to stop protests against Iran's disputed election, Human Rights Watch reported.


"Witnesses are telling us that the Basijis are trashing entire streets and even neighborhoods as well as individual homes trying to stop the nightly rooftop protest chants," Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, said in a June 26 report by the New York-based group.

THIS MUST NOT STAND!

THIS IS POLITICIDE!

WE NEED TO ENACT A TOTAL BLOCKADE OF IRAN - AIR, SEA AND CURRENCY, AND THEN GO KINETIC.

HERE ARE SOME MORE HOT IRANIAN WOMEN:

MORE PROOF ISLAM IS EVIL: A RECENT HONOR KILLING ROUND UP

BERLIN:

A 45-year-old Turkish man has admitted stabbing his 15-year-old daughter to death because she did not follow Islamic customs, German police said on Thursday.

The man, a kebab shop owner in Schweinfurt, southern Germany, stabbed the teen several times with a kitchen knife as she lay sleeping on her grandmother's couch in what police said was a premeditated act.

"As a motive for the terrible crime, the 45-year-old admitted that he had problems with the fact that his daughter did not want to follow the Muslim way," police said in a statement.

INDIA: Man kills daughter over marriage row

Lucknow: In a suspected honour killing, a man allegedly beheaded his daughter who was insisting on marrying her lover in Rampur district. Shaukat Saifi was arrested after he allegedly beheaded his daughter Naseem with a sharp edged weapon on Friday in Krimcha village, about 250 km from here, police said on Saturday.

LAHORE, INDIA:

A man from Sabzazar has been arrested for allegedly killing his sister in yet another honour killing case on Thursday.

According to police, Iqbal strangled his 22-year-old sister Adeeba – in the presence of family members – for having illicit relations with a boy from their neighbourhood. The alleged murderer later asked his family members not to disclose the incident. The victim’s family planned to bury her in their native city of Khoshab, but locals informed the police and Iqbal was arrested.

THE UN ESTIMATES THERE ARE AT LEAST 5000 OF THESE "HONOR KILLINGS" - IN WHICH THE VICTIMS ARE FEMALE - EVERY YEAR.

ANY IDEOLOGY WHICH PROMULGATES "HONOR KILLING" IS EVIL - AND SHOULD BE ERASED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

YES: I MEAN ISLAM SHOULD BE ERADICATED, AND MUSLIMS SAVED, LIBERATED FROM THIS HIDEOUS IDEOLOGY POSING AS A RELIGION.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF IRAN'S ELECTION RESULTS ALSO PROVES FRAUD

LOT - VIA NORMBLOG:

Last week I wrote about the Iranian election and about tests that could tell you if it was fixed. Unfortunately, nobody had yet conducted such a test. Well, now someone has.

To remind you: the problem with fixing elections is that people are too good at it. Instead of the randomness of real data, you get patterns. People can’t help it. We are pattern-seeking and pattern- making animals and we create them even when trying not to.

So you should be able to conduct a test to see if the data is as messy as you would expect real results to be, or whether there are consistencies that you would expect only if someone had been fixing things. Bernd Beber and Alexandra Scacco first looked at the prevalence of certain digits in the announced results. They found too many 7s and not enough 5s. They concluded that fewer than 4 in every 100 non-fraudulent results would have this feature (two different departures from the expected digit pattern).

Then they looked at adjacent numbers. When people make up numbers they are more likely to make up 23 than, say, 28 or 43 than 47. Looking at the last two digits of the results, you would expect only 30 per cent of the pairs to be adjacent numbers. In Iran they found 38 per cent. This would happen in a fair election only 4.2 per cent of the time. The chance that the election in Iran was fair? On this evidence alone, less than 0.5 per cent.

THIS ATTACK AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF IRAN MUST NOT STAND: THE WEST SHOULD ENFORCE A TOTAL AIR & SEA AND CURRENCY BLOCKADE AGAINST IRAN.

OBAMA APPOINTS A SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO "THE MUSLIM WORLD"

BBC:

US appoints envoy to Muslim world

The US State Department has appointed its first Special Representative to Muslim Communities.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Farah Pandith would play a leading role in US efforts to "engage Muslims around the world".

She said Ms Pandith, who was born in Indian-administered Kashmir, would bring years of experience to the role.

The appointment is part of President Barack Obama's attempts to improve relations with the Muslim world.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER BIT OF IDIOTIC MISGUIDED APPEASEMENT FROM OUR APOLOGIST IN CHIEF.

WHAT IN TARNATION DO WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR RELATIONS WITH THEM FOR!?!?!

SHEESH.

• WE SUPPORT EGYPT AND JORDAN - GIVING ALL THE MUSLIM NATIONS OF THE WORLD MORE AID THAN ISRAEL
  
• WE LIBERATED KUWAIT FROM SADDAM
• WE LIBERATED KOSOVO
• WE LIBERATED AFGHANISTAN
• WE LIBERATED IRAQ
• WE HAVE NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR TO MUSLIMS. NOT ONE FREAKIN' SOLITARY THING.
  

MUSLIMS HAVE A LOT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR - AND TO APOLOGIZE FOR TO US FOR.

I'D LIKE THE MUSLIMS TO GET TOGETHER AN APPOINT A SPECIAL REP TO THE USA.

AND THEN I'D LIKE HIM TO KISS MY FREAKIN' ASS.

SHEESH.

ONE WAR, MANY FRONTS: WW4 - MODERNITY VERSUS ISLAMISM, AND IRAN'S NASCENT CIVIL WAR IS JUST ANOTHER FRONT

• LEBANON: ITS CIVIL WAR WAS A FRONT IN WW4. THE COUNTRY WAS VIRTUALLY PARTITIONED AS A RESULT; NOW; MODERN LEBANESE ARE BATTLING BACK, TRYING TO RETAKE THEIR NATION FROM HIZBALLAH, SYRIA AND IRAN.

• AFGHANISTAN: LIBERATED BY BUSH IN 2001, THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING ISLAMISTS - THE TALIBAN AND AL QAEDA - EVER SINCE.

• IRAQ: LIBERATED BY BUSH IN 2003 - BUT NOT TRULY FREED FROM ISLAMISM UNTIL 2008 - THEY STILL BATTLE ON AND ARE IN THE MIDST OF A COUNTER-SURGE BY THE ISLAMISTS PROBABLY BACKED ONCE AGAIN BY IRAN.

• THE PHILIPPINES AND THAILAND: WHERE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN BATTLING ISLAMISTS FOR A DECADE - WITH THOUSANDS DEAD.

• AND NOW IRAN: WHERE A SPONTANEOUS REBELLION BY IRANIANS AGAINST THEIR ISLAMIST OVERLORDS MAY LEAD TO IRAN REJOINING THE MODERN WORLD.

ONE WAR, MANY FRONTS: WW4 - MODERNITY VERSUS ISLAMISM

PEOPLE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AISLE - ALL OVER THE WORLD - MUST STOP SEEING THESE "HOT ZONES" AS ISOLATED ERUPTIONS OF DOMESTIC UNREST AND SEE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE: FRONT IN A GLOBAL WAR BETWEEN MODERN CIVILIZED WEST AND AN UNCIVILIZED ISLAMISM.

THEN PERHAPS THE WEST HAS A CHANCE.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF AMERICA'S CURRENT PRESIDENT COULD BEGIN TO SEE IT ACCURATELY, AND WAKES UP BEFORE IRAN GETS THE BOMB.

MAYBE IF HE STOPPED APOLOGIZING FOR THE USA AND STOPPED TRYING TO SOCIALIZE EVERYTHING IN THE USA HE COULD DO THAT.

MOUSAVI AS YELTSIN: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS KRAUTHAMMER BY 11 DAYS‏

KRAUTHAMMER TODAY:

Iran: Desperately Seeking Yeltsin

By Charles Krauthammer

Friday, June 26, 2009

Iran today is a revolution in search of its Yeltsin. Without leadership, demonstrators will take to the street only so many times to face tear gas, batons and bullets. They need a leader like Boris Yeltsin: a former establishment figure with newly revolutionary credentials and legitimacy, who stands on a tank and gives the opposition direction by calling for the unthinkable -- the abolition of the old political order.

TAB 11 DAYS AGO:

MOUSAVI'S "YELTSIN MOMENT"

IN 1991 YELTSIN STOOD ATOP A TANK IN MOSCOW, AND NOT ONLY STOPPED AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST COMMUNIST "REFORMER" GORBACHEV, BUT HE ALSO ENDED THE COMMUNIST TYRANNY AND USHERED IN RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY - SUCH AS IT IS...



YESTERDAY, MOUSAVI HAD HIS YELTSIN MOMENT - THE MOMENT IT MAY HAVE ENDED FOR THE MULLAH TYRANTS - WHEN HE JOINED HIS FOLLOWERS AT A MASSIVE PROTEST IN TEHRAN


HERE'S HOPING THE PEOPLE OF IRAN SUCCEED WHERE YELTSIN SUCCEEDED AND THE CHINESE FAILED AND THAT THEY OVERTHROW THE TYRANNY AND ESTABLISH A TRUE DEMOCRACY WORTHY OF THE ALL THE PERSIAN PEOPLE OR EVERY CREED!

REGULAR READERS KNOW THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. SPREAD THE WORD. BOOKMARK US. BLOGROLL US.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES IN CONGRESS SET TO PASS MORE SPECIAL FAVORS FOR UNIONS

BLOOMBERG:

The U.S. Senate proposal to impose taxes for the first time on “gold-plated” health plans may bypass generous employee benefits negotiated by unions.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, the chief congressional advocate of taxing some employer-provided benefits to help pay for an overhaul of the U.S. health system, says any change should exempt perks secured in existing collective- bargaining agreements, which can be in place for as long as five years.

The exception, which could make the proposal more politically palatable to Democrats from heavily unionized states such as Michigan, is adding controversy to an already contentious debate. It would shield the 12.4 percent of American workers who belong to unions from being taxed while exposing some other middle-income workers to the levy.

THIS CRAP IS RGHT OUT OF CHAVEZ'S AND PUTIN'S SOCIALIST PLAYBOOK.

IT MUST NOT STAND.

CAP'N TRADE WILL DESTROY THE DOMESTIC OIL INDUSTRY

DINOCRAT:

So what?

More on the folly that is called cap and trade from Bloomberg:

America’s biggest oil companies will probably cope with U.S. carbon legislation by closing fuel plants, cutting capital spending and increasing imports.

Under the Waxman-Markey climate bill that may be voted on today by the U.S. House, refiners would have to buy allowances for carbon dioxide spewed from their plants and from vehicles when motorists burn their fuel. Imports would need permits only for the latter, which ConocoPhillips Chief Executive Officer Jim Mulva said would create a competitive imbalance.

“It will lead to the opportunity for foreign sources to bring in transportation fuels at a lower cost, which will have an adverse impact to our industry, potential shutdown of refineries and investment and, ultimately, employment,” Mulva said in a June 16 interview in Detroit.

Houston-based ConocoPhillips has the second-largest U.S. refining capacity.

The same amount of gasoline that would have $1 in carbon costs imposed if it were domestic would have 10 cents less added if it were imported…

One in six U.S. refineries probably would close by 2020 as the cost of carbon allowances erases profits, according to the American Petroleum Institute, a Washington trade group known as API. Carbon permits would add 77 cents a gallon to the price of gasoline

So what?

Who cares anymore in the ridiculous TV show that is called America?

Who cares if cap and trade won’t even address any real problems, and creates incentives that are precisely the opposite of its stated goals?

Don’t bother us. We’re America and we’re sleeping.

OBAMA AND THE LEFT ARE MERELY USING GINNED UP AGW HYSTERIA TO PASS THE LEFT'S LONG HELD ANTI-INDUSTRY PROGRAM.

• OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES DON'T CARE IF THEY BANKRUPT THE OIL COMPANIES - IT MAY EVEN BE THEIR SECRET PLAN.

• THEY - AND THEIR ALLIES IN THE UNIONS - HELPED BANKRUPT GM AND CHRYSLER, AND THEN TOOK'EM OVER.

• OBAMA'S HEALTHCARE PLAN WOULD DEMOLISH THE PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY - SO GOVERNMENT COULD TAKE OVER THE INDUSTRY.

• THEY PROBABLY WANT TO DO THE SAME THING TO THE ENERGY COMPANIES - THINKING, AS "GOOD LIL SOCIALISTS" - THAT ENERGY IS A UTILITY WHICH IS IMMORAL TO MAKE A PROFIT ON.

DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.

AND THAT MEANS THROWING ROCKS AT OBAMA'S FEDS IN THE STREET IF NECESSARY.

Iran: They brought us here to hit the anti-revolutionaries. That’s why they gave us this club - They pay us $200 a day

From IReport:

This email came to me via Haleh Anvari – I decided to translate the interview:

Wednesday June 24^th  - A Chat with one of the Plain-clothed club-wielders

“We get 200 dollars a day”

Four days after the elections, there have been anti-demonstration forces on the streets of Tehran whose accents are unrecognizable. Witnesses say they are not able to understand what they are saying. Some say they have openly heard Arabic being spoken by some. Yesterday, I had a chance to chat with one of the plain-clothed men in a sandwich shop.

Me: Salaam brother. How are you?

Him: God Bless you, fine, thank you.

Me: Where are you from?

Him: Torbat

Me: Torbat?

Him: Torbat-e Jam (a small town in the Eastern region of Iran close to the border of Afghanistan)

Me: How old are you?

Him: 36.

Me: Do you have a wife and kids?

Him: No. Wife and kids costs money. I am unemployed.

Me: Unemployed? Aren’t you a Basiji? Doesn’t the army give you a fixed salary?

Him: No. I am not a Basiji. I am unemployed.

Me: But you are working now, aren’t you?

Him: Yeah.

Me: Why do you have that club?

Him: They brought us here to hit the anti-revolutionaries. That’s why they gave us this club.

Me: Who gave it to you?

Him: Haji. He told me to hit in such a way that they don’t get up anymore. They’re traitors!

Me: What do you think about that?

Him: I don’t get involved in these things. I just get my money.

Me: You get money for beating people up. That’s great.

Him: Yeah. They gave me money just to beat people up! Wouldn’t you do the same?

Me: How much do they pay you?

Him: 200 dollars (200,000 tomans) per day. (he smiles)

Me: That’s a lot of money. What’re you gonna do with all that money?

Him: Get a wife. Or even two, if I can have this kind of money. Do you know how much that is? 2000 dollars. Maybe I won’t even go back to Torbat. Maybe I’ll stay here. Haji says there will be more demonstrations. They will give us more work.

Me: How many days have you been in Tehran?

Him: 3 days. There are still 7 more days left.

Me: Where are all the other people from who are with you?

Him: I don’t know all of them. But in our dormiatory we have people from Mazandaran, Arak, Khoozestan. Also from Torbat-e Hedariye and  Khvaf.  (he takes a sip from his soda. He asks me for a cigarette. I give it to him. He lights it and he smokes and talks.

Me: There are Arabs among them, no?

Him: Yeah. But I heard they put them in a hotel. They say they are from Lebanon. Last night they gave us Tuna for dinner. The guys said the Arabs get better food.

Me: Where is your dorm?

Him: I don’t know. I don’t know my way around Tehran. But it’s far. You have to go this way to get there (he points east).

Me: Have you been to Tehran before?

Him: No. This is my first time.

Me: You pray?

Him: Yeah, sure. But here, when we are on duty, we’re not even allowed to go to the bathroom.

Me: Don’t you get upset when you beat people?

Him: People? Haji says those who are in the demonstrations are traitors. I believe him. He’s a haji. You know Haji would not lie.  (a big, burly guy walks in. He looks around angrily. He spots this guy)

Big Guy: What are you doing here? Who’re you talking to?

Him: Nothing. I came to drink a Canada (Dry).

Big Guy: Go to your post. Yallah!

He takes his club and leaves. He’s had a cold soda and is ready. I wonder if there’ll be more work for him after the 7 days.

OBAMA TO SENIORS: "DIE ALREADY!" - REALLY: OBAMA WANTS TO SAVE HEALTHCARE OUTLAYS BY DISCOURAGING CARE AND LETTING MORE PEOPLE DIE

POWER LINE:

With the advent of Obamacare, there will be a lot more of this:

President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care.

In a nationally televised event at the White House, Obama said families need better information so they don't unthinkingly approve "additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care."

He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."

ESSENTIALLY, OBAMA WANTS OLD PEOPLE TO STOP GETTING CARE.

IT MAKES SENSE - OF YOU'RE A SOCIOPATH, AS OBAMA IS.

AFTER ALL, IT'LL BE A HUGE DOUBLE SAVINGS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: THEY SAVE ON THE HEALTHCARE AND ON THE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYOUT.

REALLY.

ESSENTIALLY, OBAMA WANTS OLD PEOPLE TO "DIE ALREADY!"

NICE GUY. NICE HEALTHCARE PLAN, TOO.

JUST AS I PREDICTED: PACE AND INTENSITY OF ATTACKS IN IRAQ IS INCREASING - AND I SAY IRAN'S INCREASING DESPERATION IS WHY

The article below blames imminent USA withdrawal, but i say it's Iran attempting to divert the world's attention - I predicted this increase in attacks last week -- I was the only person in the world to do so:

NYTIMES: Iraq Struck by a Wave of Bombings

At least seven bombs exploded around the country Thursday amid a uptick in violence as American troops prepare to withdraw from Iraqi cities on June 30.

The attacks were widespread, targeting Shiites and Sunnis, civilians, Iraqi security forces, and American soldiers. There were at least five bombs in Baghdad. One, at a bus station, killed two and wounded 30 in the late morning, security officials said, though witnesses at the scene said the toll was higher.

Nine members of the coalition forces were wounded when two roadside bombs exploded near their convoy in eastern Baghdad, an American military spokesman said. Iraqi policemen were killed or wounded by attacks in Fallujah, Mosul and Baghdad, officials said.

“They’re exploiting this time, the time of the American withdrawal, to prove that Iraqi forces are not capable of handling security tasks,” Ali al-Mosawi, an advisor to the prime minister, said of those behind the attacks. “They will escalate their attacks over the days of the withdrawal, to commit as many crimes as they can.”

I BELIEVE THAT WITH THESE ATTACKS IRAN IS TRYING TO SEND US A MESSAGE: MESS WITH THEIR REGIME AND THEY'LL MESS WITH IRAQ.

I EXPECT A MAJOR ATTACK IN ISRAEL, JORDAN AND EGYPT BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

I THINK THE SOLUTION IS AM IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL BLOCKADE OF IRAN - AIR AND SEA AND CURRENCY.

AND THEN ATTACKING THE IRG BARRACKS AND THEIR NUKE ASSETS AND THEIR MILITARY ASSETS.

THE LONGER WE WAIT THE STRINGIER THE REGIME GETS.

WE WILL NEVER GET AS A GOOD A CHANCE AS NOW.

THE LONGER WE WAIT THE GREATER THE CHANCE THAT IRAN WILL GET A NUKE.

THEN WE'RE FREAKIN' STALEMATED.
