THE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY OF GLOBAL WARMING |

This is what they did - these climate "scientists" on whose unsupported word
the world's classe politique proposes to set up an unelected global
government this December in Copenhagen.
An unelected global government with vast and unprecedented powers to control
all formerly free markets, to tax wealthy nations and all of their financial
transactions, to regulate the economic and environmental affairs of all
nations, and to confiscate and extinguish all patent and intellectual property
rights.
The tiny, close-knit clique of climate scientists who invented and now drive
the "global warming" fraud - for fraud is what we now
know it to be - tampered with
temperature data so assiduously that, on the recent admission of one of them,
land temperatures since 1980 have risen twice as fast as ocean temperatures.
Now we know why: As a revealing 15,000-line document from the computer
division at the Climate Research Unit shows, the programs and data are a
hopeless, tangled mess. In effect, the global temperature trends have simply
been made up.

THANKSGIVING IN PERSPECTIVE |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Joel Wade
|
|
Friday, 27 November 2009 |
Though the spirit of Thanksgiving began with the abundant harvest in 1623
that Jack refers to in Why Liberals Can't
Celebrate Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
as a national observance began in 1789 with George Washington's proclamation
for a national day of thanks, in honor of our then brand new US
Constitution. In Washington's
words, its purpose was:
"to recommend to the people of the United
States a DAY OF PUBLICK THANKSGIVING and
PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and
signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity
peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."
So when we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are not only practicing gratitude in
general, with all of the practical benefits that this can bring. We are also
honoring our founding principles, as were put forth so brilliantly and
realistically within our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
But right now, you might be thinking, we've got an abominable commander in
chief, a congress and senate that are out of control, we are racking up debt
and discouraging business like never before, and the world, by our absence, is
becoming more dangerous every day. So what is there to be thankful for?
Plenty.

THE GOOGLE DROID: and Other Thoughts From Scottsdale |

Even though I'm
on vacation in beautiful Scottsdale,
Arizona, I can't resist telling you about the
latest techie innovations.
Recently a new
phone was made available to Verizon customers in two models with a new Droid OS
from Google. At first look it is quite an impressive smart phone. The two
models covered are the Motorola models that flip open to reveal a keypad, and
the Eris, which is a touch screen accessible device, similar to the iPhone.
The Motorola
Droid has a slide out keypad and is presented with 24 bit color ( 16.7
million ) and the Eris has 16 bit colors with ( 65,536 ). The HTC Droid Eris
has a 528 MHz MSM7600 processor with 147 MB of memory. The Motorola Droid has the 550 MHz ARM Cortex
A8 with 256 MB of memory.
It is only a
matter of time before different versions of the Droid OS will make it to
additional US carriers. Hopefully other carriers will
not do what Verizon has handed to their customers.

HALF-FULL REPORT 11/20/09 |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Friday, 20 November 2009 |
Perhaps you've enjoyed reading about how Israel
has "brushed
off" Zero's demands for no more Jews in Jerusalem. Zero has now stamped his foot and claimed it
was "dangerous"
for Israel to ignore
him and build more homes for its citizens.
Israel
shrugs.
It is becoming blindingly obvious that Zero's antipathy to Israel
is due to his being a Third World America/Israel-hating Moslem at heart. There couldn't be clearer evidence for this
than his appointing radical Moslems to key positions in the Department of
Homeland Security.
We
should not be surprised that someone who bows to the King of Saudi Arabia would
do this. What did America
expect by electing someone with three Moslem names and attends a church that
prays for God to damn America?
Zero's
election is an ultimate object lesson regarding the masochism of the fear of
envy.

THE DOMINO OF HONDURAS |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
|
|
Thursday, 19 November 2009 |
Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It is an overwhelming, inspiring experience
to be here. There are no people in the
world more worthy of our admiration and respect right now than Hondurans.
For the initial background on the situation here, see The Bravest Country
In The World from last July. This is
what's happening now.
First, the description of Honduras
in the State
Department Travel Warning is a lie.
The US
ambassador, Hugo Llorens, is the most despised man in Honduras
for his bootlicking of Mel Zelaya, and insists on warning Americans not to come
here.
This country is at peace.
There are no roadblocks, no problems of any kind that I saw. Everything is normal. There are no demonstrations. I went to all four entrances to the Brazilian
embassy where Zelaya is holed up. They
were blocked by concrete barriers and armed police guards - who couldn't be
more bored for there was absolutely nobody, not one single lone demonstrator
for Zelaya to be seen.
From taxi drivers to businessmen to shoppers in the malls to
folks on the street, Hondurans are extremely proud of how their country stood
up to the bullying of the world. "We are
the little country that could," is an expression you hear often.

WE'RE NOT OUT OF ACES YET: or The Apple Farmer, The Gambler, and Chicken Little |
|
|
|
Written by Rebel Holiday

Friday, 20 November 2009 |
People often ask me what it's like being married to Jack Wheeler. One interesting aspect of all these 26 years
talking with Jack is that he is Mr. Macro, Mr. Global, Mr. Big Picture
Philosopher.
By contrast, I am Ms. Micro.
Naturally a people-person, my career has involved working with individuals mostly in business since
1997, before that training men and women in effective change in their lives
since the 1980's. While I was focusing
on how individuals and businesses change and make things happen, Jack typically
thinks about how America
and other countries change.
Influenced by Jack's macro interpretations of what America is going through,
it seems to me that America has been living like that Kenny Rogers' The Gambler. Perhaps in more ways than we care to face.
The song admonishes, "You never count your money when you're sitting at the
table," which may also turn out to be one of America's
mistakes.
The Gambler continues, "I can see you're out of aces..." and for America
that could be a grim reality or possible future. This is a lot of what we hear lately on the
news, and for good reasons. But there's only so much value in seeing the down
side. And we're not out of aces yet.

AMERICA HAS A HUMILIATED FOOL FOR A PRESIDENT |
|
|
|
Written by Jack Kelly
|
|
Friday, 20 November 2009 |
President Obama took his massive ego and sparse
historical knowledge to Asia last week. The results were so ugly even the New York Times took
notice. Obama's Pacific Trip Encounters Rough Waters was its headline
over a news analysis yesterday (11/19).
The humiliation began in Singapore,
continued in Japan
with his now-infamous bow to Emperor
Akihito, and climaxed in China where his communist hosts made
an utter fool of him.
Throughout it all, he remained cluelessly oblivious to his
humiliation.

IS OBAMA CAMPAIGNING TO BE A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT? |
|
|
|
Written by Jack Kelly

What were President Obama and
Attorney General Eric Holder thinking when they decided to try Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed, the chief architect of the 9/11 attacks, and four other al Qaeda
bigwigs in a civilian court in New York City?
From the standpoint of politics,
this decision makes no sense. According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp.
poll released Monday (11/16), only 34% of Americans support the decision to try
the al Qaeda bigwigs in a civilian court. 64% say they should be tried by
a military commission, as the Bush administration was planning to do.
The decision is unlikely to grow
more popular with time. At a minimum, a highly publicized trial will
remind Americans of the 9/11 attacks, something Democrats have been encouraging
us to forget.
The potential consequences for the United States of extending to these terrorists the
constitutional rights afforded U.S. citizens in a civil trial are grave. And should the terrorists walk due to legal technicalities, Mr. Obama's presidency will be in the grave.

FORT HOOD AND THE MAKING OF AN AMERICAN TERRORIST |
|
|
|
Written by Alex Alexiev
|
|
Monday, 16 November 2009 |
Much has been written already
about what happened at Fort Hood last
week but precious little as to why it happened. To understand why it happened
it may be useful to start by reminding ourselves again that the mass murder at Fort Hood was the
first act of suicide terrorism on American soil by a homegrown Islamic
extremist.
To come to this conclusion we
do not need to know what motivated Major Malik Nidal Hasan, but only that he
was a Moslem and that he was on a suicide mission. There is no doubt about the former and little
doubt that somebody embarked on mass murder in a military base had much hope of
coming out alive.
The real question then, is not
what made Major Hasan commit mass murder, but how he became a terrorist. It is
a question of seminal relevance given the strong probability that homegrown
terrorism might well be a greater threat to homeland security in the future
than foreign jihadists.
To understand the nature of the
problem a quick look at the origins and evolution of Islamic extremism in America and
its sponsors is essential.

CLUELESS, DESPOTIC, OR BOTH? |
|
|
|
Written by Richard Rahn

Wednesday, 18 November 2009 |
Do you think people who refuse to (or cannot for whatever
reason) purchase health insurance should be subject to a $250,000 fine and/or
five years in jail?
Well, a slim majority of the U.S. House of
Representatives seems to think such a draconian (and probably unconstitutional)
measure is just fine because that is one of the provisions of the health care
reform bill they just passed.
A person, or group of people, who are unable to think
through the consequences of their actions and often resort to oppression of
others are either clueless or despotic. Thinking
and compassionate people, by contrast, understand that there may be many good
reasons why people do not buy, or do not wish to buy, health insurance.
The health care bill is Exhibit A to demonstrate that a majority of Congress is now
clueless/despotic when it comes to economic sense or understanding about how
the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect individual liberty. Then there are Exhibits B, C & D.

IS THERE ANOTHER GOVERNOR LIKE SARAH PALIN? |
|
|
|
Written by Dewey Whetsell
|
|
Thursday, 19 November 2009 |
The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial
fishing town in Alaska. I
understand Alaska politics but
never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the
breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about
persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never
mention the things that I'm about to mention here.
1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as
soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and
tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt
Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing
in State housing and wearing orange jump suits.
The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing
confetti and singing "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another
governor in this country that has ever done anything similar. But while you're
thinking, I'll continue.

HALF-FULL REPORT 11/13/09 |

Roatan, Honduras. It's far easier to get from the US
to here than from Tikal, Guatemala.
It took me an entire day. You can fly from Houston (Continental) or Atlanta
(Delta) nonstop in less than three hours.
Roatan is the largest of the Bay Islands off the Honduran
Caribbean coast, 37 miles
long and five miles at its widest, home to 30,000, some 3,000 of whom are
expats from the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
Increasing numbers of Americans are figuring out that this
is the tropical paradise they've been looking for as a safety escape while
Hurricane Obama passes by. I'll have
lots more to say about it in my report on Honduras
next week.
***
I just learned from TTPer Paul Rosenberg, developer of Cryptohippie,
that I am a character in a libertarian video game called 2011: Obama's
Coup Fails. It posits that after the
Dems suffer devastating losses in the 2010 elections, Zero suspends Congress
and rules by executive decree. An armed
rebellion breaks out.
The player (you) joins the leaders of the rebellion, known
as The Founders, in combat against the crumbling Marxist forces of Obama's
loyalist Black Tigers, the Islamic fundamentalist Nation of Malsi, and The Cong
- a group of de-elected Democrats.
Evidently, I am one of The Founders. In the Breaking News section of the game, a
news bulletin entitled "Hillary Clinton Finally Captured," dated March 15, 2011, begins:
"Upon receiving an anonymous tip, the forces of Jack
Wheeler, Ollie North, and the CIA were able to track down and capture former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."
I don't know the game designers, and just found out about
this from Paul. But it's cool, don't you
think?
That's the fun news.
Now for the ominous news.

THE APOCALYPSE OF 2012 |

Tikal Mayan Ruins, Guatemala.
I just got a wonderful birthday present from my wonderful wife. Knowing that scuba-diving is my favorite
outdoor activity, and that I've dreamed of diving the famous Blue Hole in
Belize - that's what I got for my birthday.
It was incredible.
Just across the border in northern Guatemala are the
gigantic Mayan ruins of Tikal, so I
caught a bush plane over to here, and after exploring the ruins am now
ensconced in a lodge where I have an internet connection so I can write this -
while being serenaded by roars of howler monkeys and barks of toucans in the
surrounding jungle.
The Tikal temple
complex was built by an impressive and successful culture that flourished from
400 to 900 AD. Then it died. It wasn't conquered. It just collapsed, died, and vanished from
history, leaving behind only the extraordinary ruins overgrown with jungle, and
the Mayan people mired in subsistence poverty, totally ignorant of the great
achievements of their ancestors.
Sure sounds like a possible future for America,
the future the current White House occupant seems determined to have for
us.
