IPCC Computer Climate Model

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

In addition to human-hating environmentalists who wish to attack humanity’s prosperity, other groups are hostile toward individual rights and freedom (e.g., socialists, dictators, or anyone else envious of the prosperity of the west). Vilifying the industrialized world with charges of adverse climate change rallies many of these seemingly unrelated groups.

It’s important to understand how political and unscientific much of the international effort to address climate change is. These groups seek to convince people to allow further layers of government determine what they can and cannot do. These new government entities will certainly have the ability to bend the new restrictions for party members and friends.

To help reveal the agendas in the recent anthropogenic global warming hysteria, I’ve created a small Flash movie to illustrate the political motives of these seemingly objective groups. Feel free to distribute it far and wide, but please keep the credits intact.

Environmentalism is the Religion of Man-Hatred

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Regardless of its origins and claimed intent, environmentalism has become the religion of man-hatred. According to environmentalists, all nature (that which is not human) is good, and normal human activity is evil. They view humanity as a pox on the earth, and tirelessly work to make human life morbidly miserable. Their end game is the elimination of humanity.

This may sound like an extreme accusation, but one simply needs to listen to their rhetoric and identify the premises of their arguments. Protracting their arguments in to the future reveals a utopia in which humans are simply wiped from existence (except perhaps a few environmentalists living in caves).

This perverted rewriting of reality has recently gain political traction mainly due to the aging of indoctrinated public school students, and environmentalism’s compatibility with Marxist and Kantian ideals of self-sacrifice. Modern political demagogues (e.g., hypocrite Gore and countless other Marxists) know that the ecco-conditioned public is ripe to be led to a more Fascist existence with their party being the voice of the “people” and of “threatened nature.”
 
If humanity is to keep from plunging in to another dark age with the environmental church replacing the god-du-jour church as the source of earthly punishment, we must immediately reassert the right of humans, INDIVIDUAL humans to exist and to act in their full capacities as rational beings—not to be arbitrarily scorned and jailed for living larger than sheep.

Paying lip service to environmentalism or staying silent in the face of such absurd claims about the proper role of all individuals allows humanity to slip further to this nightmarish statist future.

US Defense Against Radical Islam Looks Grim

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

The US currently has no strong leaders in sight that will defend it against foreign attack.

The current president (GW Bush) is an inept leader who blew the US’s limited willingness to fight on the wrong target. Iran has been the hub of radical Islam for many decades while Saddam was mostly a local punk. GW continues to feed the lives of American soldiers to a seemingly hopeless cause. Unless the US was to write the constitutions of Iraq and Afghanistan (ala WWII Japan and Germany), the locals will continue to create blood-bath government systems.

Alternatively, most people (who aren’t peace-at-all-costs pacifists) are afraid that a Democrat white house will implement self-sacrifice and “turning the other check” in the face of the rising Islamic fascist world movement. The leftist influenced Democrats hold on to the naïve belief that these thugs wish to live in peace and respect the rights of everyone else.

It’s easy to go on about daily life (going to work, raising children, interior decorating, parties, etc.) and repress the rising threat to civilization coming from the Middle East. The US citizens should start demanding that the threat be taken seriously and that our country be properly defended against those religious fascists who seek to force all to bow to Allah.

Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” appears to be a good news-clip summary resource of what the Islamic fascist seek and how they train their children to fight and die for Allah. A free 12-minute preview of the film is here. These are truths that you won’t see on the media’s leftist agenda.

Our 2006 tax bill is $26,546.

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

For our family’s productivity in 2006 alone, we are forced/extorted by the US governments to pay a total of $26,546 (twenty-six thousand, five hundred and forty-six dollars). This does not include any sales taxes, hidden taxes included in our utility bills and other goods and services we purchased, or our time spent keeping records to defend ourselves. This was based on an adjusted gross income somewhere in the low $80,000’s. We paid a CPA an additional $600 to try to understand the bizarre IRS laws, and prepare our taxes.

Our federal portion was $14,595, and our state (California) portion was a surprisingly low $1,115. Our Medicare bill was $600, our Real Estate taxes were a whopping $7,314 (on a 1500 sq.ft. home, and we don’t even have any children), our social “security” bill was $2,564, and our state disability insurance bill was $331.

Other people may see these numbers and think I got off pretty easy, while others will be shocked at how much their neighbors are being attacked. We are not criminals or charity cases, so we do not burden society at all, but rather create wealth and improve it.

It should be obvious to everyone that the US governments have ballooned way beyond their proper purpose, and all productive people are being bled to pay others entitlements for making bad life choices. Even though the US is still the freest country in the world (based on the respect for individual rights), it’s no excuse for some US citizens to eat/farm/enslave/persecute other people.

Governments have a monopoly on the use of force. If I were to refuse to pay even a portion of my taxes, I would eventually be shot and killed if I tried to defend my earned property or myself against incarceration. This is why I pay my taxes.

Yet I find it incredible that US citizens keep supporting raising taxes over the years. It’s obvious that many politicians convince people that the cause of their (relative) poverty is the “rich” (defined as anyone who makes 10% more than you), and that they have the moral (via Kant and Marx) right to attack the wealth that others have created.

Please spend a few minutes and add up your withholding and tax bill to understand how much you’re getting penalized for creating wealth for others to consume. Please vote for any and all tax reductions, and don’t allow any further tax increases.

Dictators Are Once Again Rewarded For Using Force

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Now that Britain has conducted back-room deals to get their abducted sailors back (with help of the US), the dictators of the world know more than ever that challenging the west is easy and profitable. Be sure to expect more extortion schemes from all over the world in the coming years.

Iran is NOT a peace-loving nation. It is the hornet’s nest of radical Islam, which seeks to eliminate Israel and impose Islamic fascism on the world, by force and murder. For evidence of this, just observe the statements from their leaders and mullahs. They have state censorship, so the people in Iran are told lies and are being conditioned to carry out these doomsday goals.

The west must NOT appease this behavior; allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons is simply suicide.
