We hope that you will enjoy it and pass it around to all your friends. And please comment at the end of the story and let us know what you think.

Here is part four:

Transition of power is usually a bloody affair. The primary reason for it is ‘the unwillingness of those in power to relinquish it.’ It’s the Progressives; they are at war to achieve power over us.’

(progressives continued)

What we’re seeing in today’s news is nothing less than an all-out effort by progressives to seize permanent power and bring all aspects of our lives directly under control of government. If they succeed, government will literally decide who has money and who does not, who eats and does not, who lives and who dies. And in this cruel ‘paradise’, he who votes or speaks against government finds his name on the wrong list.

But their backs are against the wall, and you can see it. Their fingers are in their ears at every sensible complaint and every protest from ordinary Americans.

They are rushing headlong toward a finish line that is growing more unpopular by leaps and bounds as the public learns just what they’re up to.

They are fighting hard, scrambling for that allegedly moral high ground, tossing out every kind of misinformation grenade to keep their enemy at bay.

Examples:

• Fox News isn’t a real news organization.
• Tea partiers are rednecks with guns or Christians shoving bibles at you. Besides, they don’t even know what they’re talking about.
• Republicans ruined everything for the last eight years.
• Bush and Cheney were evil.
• The public really wants health care reform; why just look at those nice purple-shirted protesters clamoring for it!
• Never mind the emails, global warming is going to kill us all and we must act now, do it now, save the world, take action befor it’s too late!

Remember crisis creation; simply solution implementation?

In the military we’re taught that the quickest way to be seen by the enemy is to get yourself in a hurry. Slow movement is vital if you are to remain concealed. If you don’t have time and you need to get somewhere, you will risk exposure.

Now the Democrats are out of position and running out of time. If they get these bills through before the election next year, they believe things will ease up on them. They think the public will forget as we often have in the past. They see the other side of health reform and cap and trade as a sort of safe haven and everything will fall into place like dominos.

I hope they are mistaken. It is up to us to make that happen.

You see, progressives will do anything they can to get to that safe haven. It’s like being under the water and running out of air. You realize in your mind that you need what’s above the surface. You work like never before to get to that breath of fresh air. You’ll rip your own skin or even cut off an arm to get to that life sustaining air. You push like your life depends on it.

Could this be the great push point of this conflict? Do we really have a chance to stall it; stop it dead in its tracks; dissect it in public; give it transparency, and take away the veil once and for all?

Okay folks, it’s time to really ask what in the hell is going on? Time to take a few minutes from your day and look at all the events in the Gulf.

Why for instance is this not the biggest thing to ever happen for “Greenies” to go berserk over?

Why are liberals not screaming?

Why is the media not covering the “greatest environmental disaster” this country, and to some degree, the world has ever seen.

Where are the “Whale Wars” people?”

How come this is not the poster child of the left to tell us we can never drill in the deep again?

Where is the Al Gore?

Well, I wonder! Apparently ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’ folks are looking the other way. “Surprise, surprise, surprise”, says ‘Gomer Pyle.”

It was all a political charade and we know they know that we know it! Otherwise, they would be demanding the ouster of this administration, especially if it was a Republican, let alone the leftmost President this country has ever seen.

So why no crazy talk anymore, why no huge demonstrations, why no comment from the Al Gore?

If you have not decided already, let me take a moment and say: “WAKE THE HELL UP!” It was never about the environment, it was always about power. So we now have this little thingy going on in the south.

No big deal!

It’s getting fixed by the Obama Administration…or is it? Oh for the love of Mike, WAKE THE HELL UP!

Please read on, and do some homework folks. We have been reporting on this here on the internet, in the print media, and personally, on the air waves. Where is PETA? What about the sea kittens?

For those of you few who would argue, caution, there is no contest when it comes to the airwaves.

It is a matter of record how big a difference in reporting has taken place since events like the Exxon Valdez and other catastrophes like Katrina. Why the deafening difference in noise?

After the June 23 Cabinet meeting, President Obama said:

“We talked about energy. In the context of the oil spill, as I said last week during my Oval Office address, this has to be a wakeup call to the country that we are prepared and ready to move forward on a new energy strategy that the American people desperately want but for which there has been insufficient political will.”

“It is time for us to move to a clean energy future.”

First, let it be said that the American people do not desperately want “a new energy strategy.” They did not want Obama care.

They do not want Cap-and-Trade. They do not want amnesty for an estimated ten to twenty million illegal aliens.

Along with the totally discredited global warming hoax, this has got to be the biggest lie Obama keeps repeating, along with promises of thousands of “green jobs.”

What is Clean Energy?

Obama is referring to solar and wind energy. Neither of these enterprises would last longer than an episode of “So You Think You Can Dance” were it not for the billions of taxpayer’s dollars provided as subsidies to producers who, once the subsidies end, will abandon these most useless of all ways to generate electricity.

When the government mandates that part of the electricity you purchase must be supplied by wind or solar, they are forcing utilities to invest in means of generation that must always be backed up by coal-fired, natural gas, hydroelectric, or nuclear plants.

Neither wind, nor solar can be depended upon to produce sufficient electricity, particularly during times of peak uses.

When you see those windmills turning even when there is no wind, there is a plant somewhere providing them with electricity because, unless they constantly turn, their mechanisms famously break down.

Solar farms are even less efficient, particularly since the sun does not shine all the time and cloud cover often reduces their capacity.

This, however, will not deter the hoped-for thousands of people who will turn out on Saturday, June 26, to participate in some 700 events across the nation and, we’re told, worldwide in a mega-event called “Hands across the Sand.” It is intended to encourage more “clean energy.”

“This simple, but powerful human expression of unity will send a clear message to our leaders that more offshore drilling is not the answer and now is the time to create our clean energy future,” said event founder, David Rauschkolb, described as a restaurant owner in Seaside, Florida.

That’s who we want making energy policy, a restaurant owner!

Among the sponsors of the event are Audubon, the Alaska Wilderness League, and the Center for Biological Diversity, Clean Water Action, Defenders of Wildlife, Earth Day Network, Endangered Species Coalition, Energy Action Coalition, and Environment America, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, MoveOn.org, Ocean Conservancy, Rainforest Action Network, and the Sierra Club.

In other words, the most mendacious environmental groups all devoted to impeding the development and access to the huge quantities of energy needed to maintain industry, agriculture, and an economy that, despite their constant interference and obstruction, is still the world’s leader in value of goods produced.

To them, the Gulf oil spill is the best thing that ever happened. One well out of hundreds in the Gulf of Mexico has suffered a horrible failure, but these are the people who want to shut down all of them despite a fifty-year history of safety.

No doubt the mainstream media will have a field day showing us coverage of countless idiots holding hands on beaches, near waterways, and wherever else they will gather in the name of not having any gasoline to fill the tanks of the cars that brought them there, not having the electricity to power the air conditioners in their homes, not having anything made from plastic, not even having asphalt on the highways and streets they will drive upon after the event.

It is not likely to occur to any of them that deepwater oil wells are the result of the bans environmental organizations continue to demand as they oppose drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or anywhere along the 85% of U.S. coastal areas where huge amounts of untapped oil and natural gas exist.

This nation faces many hazards, but the greatest hazard of all is a President who wants to pass the biggest tax in U.S. history, Cap-and-Trade, on energy use. It is not a climate bill. It is not a jobs bill.

It is just another scheme based on the fraud of reducing so-called greenhouse gas emissions. The Earth produces 97% of these emissions. They are a part of the atmosphere of the Earth, albeit the atmosphere is almost entirely composed of oxygen and nitrogen. It is best understood as primarily water vapor!

The cartoon character, Pogo, famously said, “We have met the enemy and it is us.” You can watch them join hands on Saturday and demand a return to the Dark Ages.

Everyone has heard all of the rhetoric about this global warming that is supposedly happening. You know, all of us evil westerners with our SUV’s, are causing this planet to be destroyed because of our over indulgence and waste.

People like Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, have given the liberal mind yet another reason to hate America and the West. But, did you also hear that global warming is also occurring on Mars and other planets.

It seems that Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto all have warmed at the same time as Earth has warmed. If global warming is man-made, where are the polluting factories and vehicles on Mars and the other planets?

Just maybe, this is just a natural cycle of our universe that the Creator has set in place. After all, God’s act of creation is easy to find in the Bible. Genesis 1:1 says

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. If this is denied, all that one is left with is human arguments that will give you no real answers or comfort. Denial of this leads to a futile attempt at anything to prolong this life and to escape the inevitable promise of God, except the real truth.

When we look at this earth and the other planets that are experiencing this warming what is it that is the common element of all of them? Is it human and Martian activity that is causing the crisis? Not likely at least in the Martian environment.

The only common element of both is the SUN. The sun has cycles just like everything in nature. Just like in 1645 and continuing through 1715, there were no observed sunspots. This is the period known as the Little Ice Age.

This, at a time when human impacts on climate would have been hardly anything. This is one of the longest solar minimums recorded.

 Sunspot activity has been shown to a have direct affect on temperatures and the amount of sunlight hitting the earth. There has been a recent downturn in sunspot activity since one of the most active ones ever over the last 70 years.  

In 2008 there were 266 days scattered throughout the year without sunspots, and in 2007 there were 163 days without sunspots.

These are the #2 and #9 fewest sunspots years seen since 1911. So far this year there has been 243 spotless days. The typical solar minimum cycle (few sunspots) is normally 485 days before the swing to maximum. The current minimum is at 754 days.

All of this shows us that the natural ebb and flow set in place by God is the cause of our weather.

It is interesting to note that the term ‘global warming’ is being replaced by the term ‘climate change’. As global warming is being more and more debunked, the new term seems more palatable to the masses. You do know what climate change is don’t you? It is called the WEATHER.

The arrogance and audacity of certain people, led by Al Gore, to suggest that ‘changes in the weather’ are a crisis. Without exception, every place I have lived, the locals always have a saying that goes, ‘if you don’t like the weather just wait an hour. It will change”.

Weather is, if nothing else, in a constant state of change. That is why we watch the weather on tv and that is why it is so hard to predict. It constantly changes.

Another thing you won’t hear much of on the news these days is that “global warming” halted about ten years ago, and surface temperatures have been falling for seven years.

Remember, the very first Earth Day in the early 70’s had signs that said, “Stop Global Cooling”

My, we humans are a fickle bunch. Being tossed to and fro depending on the political whim of the day.  But don’t take my word for it. Check it out yourself. There is a lot of information out there. An excellent resource is http://www.spaceweather.com/  for tracking sunspots and other space events. Concerning science and sensible public policies another resource is http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/
