The Art Of Science Fiction

Our Near-Death Experience at the Hands of Global Warming Alarmists

History is rife with examples of the value hindsight could offer were it not so aptly named, for its very nomenclature suggests the tardiness by which it is presented. The utter destruction of many past societies, when examined by the cooler heads of historians, could have been easily averted if only the participants at the time had the benefit of such counsel.

In the computer age, it must be acknowledged that hackers and writers of malicious code are usually of the criminal element, certainly. But when the unscrupulous stumble upon a scheme more nefarious than their own, and when they expose it for the good of their fellow Earthly inhabitants, I believe that some leniency may be in order.

The people responsible for the release of the incriminating emails of the perpetrators of the Global Warming Scam may have done more to save the Free World than they realized. Of course I could be wrong. They may very well have known exactly what they were doing, which to me would only enhance my gratitude to them. Unfortunately, the American media establishment suddenly sprouted "consciences" and refuse to report on this major development because the source is tainted. Please...

So very near to their goal of a New World Order were these alleged scientists and their accomplices that carelessness got the better of them. They were on a clear, unobstructed trajectory - on auto pilot - to the landing strip; Copenhagen. Then someone spilled their beverage on the console and the plane demanded human attention, but those in the cockpit were novices. It seems that the folks in the tower had it right all along.

As for those who squawked the loudest about this myth, even the antithesis to Lord Monckton, George Monbiot, was humiliated as he stated, "It’s no use pretending that this isn't a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I’m dismayed and deeply shaken by them." Monbiot mentions the illegality of this bombshell but still concedes that "there are some messages that require no spin to make them look bad."

The entire argument that "the science is settled" has been erased in a swift revelation by some person or group of people who will be classified in the coming days as being anywhere between the unprincipled to the intrepid. To be sure, the left will attempt to fixate the public's attention on the actions of the hackers to deflect from the broader issue of what they have discovered. It seems that the media today is less interested in truth and more cognizant of what would be considered admissible evidence.

Nevertheless, the damage inflicted thus far is damning to the tyrannical and a blessing to free people. Thankfully, our population seems to have recently awakened from a warm, comfortable slumber and will no longer tolerate the dictation of news dissemination by once-noble news sources that have long ago watched their own souls depart in nearly transparent, ghostly vapors. While it admittedly took the shock of having our nightcovers suddenly ripped off of us on a cold night, we have the political opposition to thank.

Nothing like a cold slap in the face to revive the contest. Sphere: Related Content

Rope And Chains

Before anyone out there begins frantically dialing up Janet Napolitano, rest assured that this is not a threat to our president. As hard as it may be for the Left to believe, despite the fact that I am a staunch Conservative, I am not a treasonous racist. And lest the painful memories of ropes and chains cause trauma to any readers, I use them for ballast rather than for any menacing purpose.

There is an incredible irony in the fact that America's first African-American president is not descended from slaves. Perhaps this is because - in my mind, at least - a valid argument could be made that if Obama were indeed a descendant of slaves, it would explain his intended enslavement of us as a sort of vengeance. But there are several fallacies in such reasoning, such as the fact it is not only Caucasians who will be his victims, but everyone, including those with bonafide ancestors of bondage.

Obama's Utopian socialist vision is not about race, after all, but about domination and control. For as wealthy as he has become as a beneficiary of a free society, the money is never enough for those of his mindset. It is the insatiable quest for power that is the driving force for men such as he, and the table has been set. He is preparing to feast.

Despite the horrible history for past victims of the society Obama hopes to create, there are still far too many people aiding and abetting our march to a gray doom, a colorless landscape of despair and universal poverty. The visions of desperate people imprisoned in their own country by the Berlin wall apparently is not enough evidence for those who anxiously await the same fate at the hands of a totalitarian Obama.

Satellite photographs of a pitch black North Korea at night - where the only lights shine in the compound of the Communist ruler - are not enough of a deterrent for this segment of our nation. Visions of long lines of Russians hungrily hoping for one loaf of bread have seeped from their memories, if those visions ever existed there in the first place. It could very well be that those who applaud his maneuvering have become conditioned to believe that this - existence in America - is the Hell they wish to escape. Poor, misguided souls.

Equal misery for all has long been my own understanding of the end result of Obama's - or Saul Alinsky's - plans. There have been no signs to sway me from that opinion. To the contrary, his tacit approval of the governance of places like Cuba, Venezuela or even Iran make me all the more wary. And the nauseating apologies to the world for our success is nothing short of frightening.

Knowing that it would be impossible to raise everyone up to the level of a Bill Gates, the only way to achieve the insane goal of total equality for all is to level the mountains and make us all a plain. Young adults today are the first victims of such a mentality, having grown up playing games instead of competing. Drummed into their little skulls was the notion that there was no need to keep score because it didn't matter who won. There would be trophies for all whatever the outcome of the game.

Removing the desire to excel has been part of the plan, and it seems to have borne fruit. The work ethic of our youth today is dismal, to be kind, and the sense of entitlement staggering. So it is that when the carrot of "free" stuff is dangled before them that they will follow blindly, fixated on the carrot alone and oblivious to where their feet land. That is a dangerous, myopic march, one that removes peripheral vision and allows for nefarious events to go undetected.

For as much as the Democrats have opposed every attempt at keeping illegal aliens from entering our country, don't be surprised if they suddenly experience an epiphany and endorse the completion of the wall on the border with Mexico, or the construction of one on the northern border, as well.

Browning The Neighbor's Grass

Now that the blame for America's economic woes is being laid at the feet of businesses, Pelosi wants to wall them in to prevent any chance of their fleeing to more fertile grounds. In effect, she wants to imprison them here so that she and her insatiable cohorts can finally bleed them dry. Oh sure, it is not being portrayed as imprisonment, but attempting to make the surrounding landscape just as unappealing as the grass on this side is tantamount to offering no choice but to die or die.

Rather than reducing the money wasted annually by the government - thus enabling the lowering of taxes on corporations - the Democrats want the rest of the world's nations to raise their own taxes to be as equally prohibitive to success as America's. More accurately stated, they want competition erased, havens for prosperity eliminated and our neighbors' lawns to beckon to no one.

And far too many Americans - those who form their political opinions based on blaring headlines and tantalizing sound bites - have been conditioned over the years to loathe the entities who not only provide the very goods by which they obtain their information, along with myriad other staples of their lives, but who also provide the jobs for which they hunger.

So successful has the divide-and-conquer strategy of the Left been that stemming the tide of all-out socialism in this country - once a ludicrous notion - will now require Herculean efforts by those who still love Mom and apple pie. Even as people yell from the rooftops their opposition to everything from universal health care to massive deficits to confiscatory taxation, the Democrats cavalierly march forward and audaciously claim to be "fighting for the American people".

Perhaps there is a gratuitous preposition in that phrase, as they more accurately appear to be "fighting the American people". Losing all of their false campaign humility the moment their oaths are sworn, the controlling Democrats begin the task of undermining the will of those who voted them into office. When the electorate protests their actions, they belittle them without a modicum of respect and then begin the unheard-of practice of holding votes critically important to more and more of their constituency on weekends, when they think no one is watching.

Our elected officials have lost the American ethic of improvement through hard work and sacrifice on the part of the people, preferring instead to lower the bar, scrape the excess off the top and plop it at the bottom to equalize the masses. They vilify the entrepreneur to curry favor with those below who await whatever scraps may fall their way, rather than enabling the wretched to climb. Once they had finished sawing the bottom rungs of the ladder, they took to the task of plucking those at the top and throwing them downward.

Speaking at a news conference on the prospect of imposing higher taxes on financial transactions, to prevent Wall Street jobs from moving off shore, Pelosi said that it would have to be an international effort. "It would have to be an international rule, not just a U.S. rule," Pelosi said at a news conference. "We couldn't do it alone, we'd have to do it as an international initiative."

Wars in foreign lands were once the only endeavor in which our Congress sought international support. Now they apparently seek the same global approval in their war on their own people. God help us. Sphere: Related Content
