As Algore becomes more and more unhinged about "global warming" - his latest hysteria was to proclaim this week that "Our earth is in a full scale planetary emergency" - people are searching for the cause of such weird behavior.

They have found it in Roswell, New Mexico.

It was on a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell that an alien space ship crashed on July 8, 1947.  This is a well known incident long covered up by the US Air Force and the Federal Government.

But just why would the government engage in such a cover-up conspiracy?  What really happened at Roswell?

THE COLORADO CANARY Print E-mail

Tuesday, 17 October 2006

The meta-story regarding the mid-term elections is how the Democrats can't wait to get to the voting booth to inflict electoral doom upon their enemies, while Republicans are so depressed they will either stay home or have to be dragged to the polls.


Maybe, but there's this Colorado canary in the Democrat coal mine that's warbling a contrarian song.

In Colorado you can vote up to 30 days ahead of election day by absentee ballot.  To do so you must of course request a ballot.  The absentee ballots won't be counted until November 7th, but what is known is the number of requests for them.

It turns out that the number of requests by registered Republicans is way up from past years while those from registered Democrats is way down.

Here's more of the buzz heard in the halls of the Capitol Building three weeks out:

THE DEATH OF THE ARGUMENT FOR MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Thursday, 19 October 2006

One year ago, in September 2005, you learned what is actually causing whatever global warming the earth is experiencing. 

Solar Warming explained the specific mechanism involved:  the sun's increased magnetic activity deflecting the rain of cosmic rays upon the atmosphere, resulting in fewer clouds reflecting sunlight back into space and thus a warmer earth.

This month, scientists at the Center for Sun-Climate Research at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen released the results of very well-designed and controlled experiments demonstrating the chemical mechanism of cosmic ray action upon cloud formation. 

Folks, this a big deal.  These are the results of a controlled experiment by serious scientists, not some GIGO (garbage-in/garbage-out) computer climate modeling.  They experimentally demonstrate how the cause of global warming or "climate change" is the sun, not us.

The argument for man-made global warming is dead.

NORTH KOREA: THE NEXT CHRISTIAN NATION IN ASIA Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Friday, 20 October 2006

2008.  That's the number that dooms North Korea's lunatic tyrant Kim Jong-il. 

If there's one thing the Chicoms in Beijing are not going to let anyone screw up, it's their coming-out party to the world, the 2008 Olympics.  They are not about to tolerate some nuclear fruitcake causing a million-death war on their doorstep.  That's why they are studying Romanian history, circa 1989.

That was the year that communist generals in the Securitatae (secret police) staged a putsch and seized power after executing Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena.  Their death by machine-gun was videotaped.  Baby Kim has a copy, and is requiring all his subordinates to view it.  It's to teach them a lesson, but you'd think that it would give them ideas instead.

It's a good bet that the Chicoms will soon be instigating a Romanian-type overthrow of Baby Kim and installing a new regime in Pyongyang.  It won't be a pro-West democracy promising disarmament and union with South Korea - but it will be far less belligerent and far more peaceful.

Such a regime will be a colony of China and will resist demands for genuine democratic elections.  What it won't be able to resist is its being rapidly Christianized.

WHY IS NORTH KOREA OUR PROBLEM? Print E-mail
Written by Jack Kelly   
Wednesday, 18 October 2006

As the U.S. takes the lead in formulating the international response to North Korea's (apparently fizzled) nuclear test, there is a question which ought to be asked:

Why is this our problem?

In 1950, this was easy to answer.  The fledgling democracy in South Korea was too weak to protect itself.  North Korea was then an agent of an international Communist conspiracy.  But that was more than half a century ago.  The Soviet Union has collapsed. 

North Korea remains Stalinist, has a formidable military, and still dreams of conquering the South.  But its objectives are peninsular, not global, and it has little likelihood of obtaining them, even without American intervention.

That's because South Korea now  has a formidable military, which could be made much more formidable if the South Koreans chose to do so.  South Korea today has more than twice the population of North Korea, 24 times the national wealth.


So why can't the South Koreans take care of the problem themselves?

THE IMMORALITY OF LOSING A WAR Print E-mail
Written by Ralph Peters   
Wednesday, 18 October 2006

Have Americans lost the will to win wars? Not just in Iraq, but anywhere? Do we really believe that being nice is more important than victory?

It's hard enough to bear the timidity of our civilian leaders - anxious to start wars but without the guts to finish them - but now our military leaders have fallen prey to political correctness.  Unwilling to accept that war is, by its nature, a savage act and that defeat is immoral, influential officers are arguing for a kinder, gentler approach to our enemies.

They're going to lead us into failure, sacrificing our soldiers and Marines for nothing: Political correctness kills.  It's all in the Army's new counterinsurgency doctrine laid out in Field Manual 3-24.  The doctrine is so dishonest and cowardly that it's message is: Let our troops die, just don't hurt anyone's feelings

WHY SHOULD WE RESPECT OUR ENEMIES? Print E-mail
Written by Tibor Machan   
Wednesday, 18 October 2006

Freeman Dyson, who is a famous physicist and Professor Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton University, argues in the current issue of  The New York Review of Books that the 9/11 Moslem terrorists are deserving of “respect” :

"Yes, I wrote that we should respect our enemies as human beings in order to understand them. I do not retract or apologize for this statement. I would like only to add a more general statement, that our lack of respect for our enemies made it harder for us to deal with them effectively." 

Yet it needs to asked:  Why should one respect someone as a human being? Does the mere fact of membership in the human species amount to some worthwhile achievement? No.

Why then respect one merely for being human?  Hitler was human, child molesters are human and it is pretty preposterous to consider them worthy of any sort of respect.  So, that part of Professor Dyson's claim is arguably false.  Let's take the other part. Why would lack of respect imply lack of understanding?

Much of the world around us deserves no respect at all, yet we can understand it pretty well. As a physicist, while he understands them, does Professor Dyson respect the electron or the quark?

IDEAS THAT MAKE THE WORLD WORSE Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Joel Wade   
Friday, 20 October 2006

In the "post-modern" philosophies that have so affected our current culture, the most harmful fundamental idea is this: Because we don't know everything about something, we can't know anything about it, so any "narrative" is just as valid as any other.

This is the idea that leads directly to so much muddled thinking, so much acceptance of ridiculous theorizing, and such a lack of moral clarity today.

This idea leads people to accept other ideas that are based on theory, wishful thinking, or ideology, rather than looking to confirm or disconfirm them through scientific study. If we can't really know anything anyway, what's the difference?

Let's look at some of these other ideas, many of them from the field of psychology, that make clear thinking, rejection of false ideas, and moral clarity difficult:

POLITICAL NASDAQ – October 13-19, 2006 Print E-mail
Written by Dagny D'Anconia   
Friday, 20 October 2006

The market continued upward over the last two weeks, as it has since mid-July.  It took a hit as the US confirmed the nuclear test in North Korea, and the media showed the medieval rally of torch-bearing peasants in Pyongyang.  North Korea declared that the UN had issued a "Declaration of War", and President Bush signed the long delayed detainee bill. 

The market stumbled but carried on with its upward inertia and apparent Democrat election victory.  Yet this Wednesday (10/18), our DDI predictor of market movement flipped to down.

Which means something happened to make Republican prospects on November 7 go up.

WHY ARE THERE NO ARABS ON STAR TREK? Print E-mail
Written by To The Point News   
Friday, 20 October 2006

The Saudi Ambassador was ushered into the Oval Office for a meeting with the President of the United States.  After a cordial discussion, Prince Turki Al-Faisal leaned over to President Bush to say:

"Mr. President, there is something that puzzles me about America.  Actually it puzzles my son, so I thought I should ask you about it."

"Whatever I can do to help explain life in America, I'll be happy to do so," responded Mr. Bush.

The Ambassador lowered his voice.  "My son is a big fan of your television show ‘Star Trek.'  He noticed that Captain Kirk is American, Scotty is Scottish, Chekhov is Russian, Sulu is Chinese.  The Star Trek crew is quite international, yet there are no Arabs.  My son is quite upset about this, and doesn't understand why there are no Arabs on Star Trek."

NORTH KOREA'S NUKE TEST FLOP Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Tuesday, 10 October 2006

[Note:  Written the day after North Korea exploded its "device," an Update with new information is now appended at the end.]

The public face of Bush Administration officials regarding North Korea's nuclear test is a mask of utter seriousness, or "grave concern."  Behind the mask, folks are laughing their heads off.  Meanwhile, the world's dumbest nuclear scientists - namely, those in North Korea - are terrified of what Baby Kim will do to them when he finds out the truth.

Essentially, we have a replay of the total fiasco of Baby Kim's headline-garnering missile test launch last July.

North Korea's claim to have successfully conducted a test explosion of a nuclear bomb on Monday (October 8) has resulted in even more public hysteria that its missile tests, and even more private laughter.  The test shows the entire plutonium stockpile of North Korea is worthless:  It's not "weapons grade" so bombs cannot be made ot it.  Here's why.

IMPLODING IRAN Print E-mail

[This is the text of a speech I am giving on Friday, October 13 to an organization composed of prominent conservative leaders throughout the country called the Council for National Policy. --JW]
 
How many of you here have been members of CNP since the 1980s and remember the critical role the CNP played in generating support for anti-Soviet freedom fighters?  Please raise your hand.

Keep them up, thanks - now, the rest of you notice who these folks are.  Remember them, and after this panel, go up to them and ask them what it was like 20 years ago when the thought of collapsing the Soviet Union seemed completely off the wall. 

Yet it was the incessant, unrelenting, demand of thousands, millions, of conservatives who belonged to organizations led by members of the Council for National Policy, that enabled the Reagan Administration to support and supply with money, training, and equipment, anti-Soviet freedom fighters.  And that turned out to be the key to winning the Cold War.

I want to talk to you today about how you, as current members of CNP, can play the same role in winning the war on Islamofascist terrorism by ridding the world of its principal sponsor, the Mullahcracy ruling Iran.

CELEBRATING COLUMBUS AND WESTERN CIVILIZATION Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Thursday, 12 October 2006

Today, October 12, is the 514th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' landing on Guanahani (now known as San Salvador or Watlings) island in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492.

Unfortunately, Columbus Day is for most Americans just an excuse for a three-day weekend, which is why it fell on Monday, October 9.  What it should be is a commemoration and celebration of  Western Civilization - which is why the Left hates Columbus and his holiday.

Fortunately, North Korea's botched nuclear bomb explosion shooed the Columbus Day protestors off the newspaper pages and television screens. 

Thankfully ignored was the usual spectacle of American Indians using the holiday to denounce the White Man and his genocidal war-mongering culture-destroying earth-murdering imperialism, blah blah blah - with White Liberals joining in, masochistically condemning their own civilization.

But they will be at it again next year, so let us suggest to them now that they abandon every vestige of the civilization they hate as so evil - for else they are bottomless hypocrites.

Not just every material benefit - electricity, the wheel, and all post-Stone Age inventions. Every psychological vestige as well - starting with the very concept of American Indian or Native American or any other collective term.

For the reality is that there were no Indians in America when Columbus discovered it.

BRAYING JACKASSES CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO LEAD AMERICA Print E-mail
Written by Tony Blankley   
Wednesday, 11 October 2006

The BBC reported on October 10 that in the Indian state of Jharkhand, villagers fled their homes to escape a rampaging herd of grief-stricken elephants. "They say the animals are agitated because one of their herd disappeared. Officials say the missing animal became disoriented, and fell into a ditch and drowned over the weekend."

There was no mention in the BBC report whether or not the village jackasses were braying with delight at the sight of the distressed elephants.

Of course the Indian people are always disturbed when their elephants run amuck, because, since time immemorial they have relied on the strong, intelligent and friendly elephants to do their heavy lifting for them. The donkeys simply do not have the mental or physical capacity to substitute for the prized elephants.

Meanwhile in Washington...

IF ONLY DEMOCRATS HATED KIM JONG IL AS MUCH AS GEORGE BUSH Print E-mail
Written by Jack Kelly   
Thursday, 12 October 2006

If Democrats went after America's enemies with the relentless ruthlessness with which they attack Republicans, the Axis of Evil would be toast.

No sooner had North Korea made its (either botched or faked) nuclear bomb test last weekend than Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Hillary Clinton were blaming it on "the failed policies of the Bush administration."

Democrats tend to view foreign policy crises through the narrow prism of their impact on domestic politics.  But the villain here isn't Bill Clinton or George Bush.  It's Kim Jong Il.  And what's important here is not which party controls the House of Representatives. 

It's whether we can prevent a second Korean War.

The Democrats are behaving as if the cost of another Korean War with thousands of American soldiers dead is the price they'd willingly pay to gain control of the House.
