Ocean Acidification is the new Buzzword

What was once "global cooling" was soon so scientifically invalid it was rebranded with the reactionary "global warming" that has turned into hysteria. Of course, again the science poses a burden to the agenda as the last decade has cooled, so "Climate Change" was the new tagline.

As many know, with the Climategate e-mails destroying the credibility of the top IPCC, UN and International scientists, the spin machine rolls on with the latest revamping: ocean acidification.

One can already find articles on the topic: The Tucsoncitizen.com, Mongabay.com, and even from the Copenhagen summit itself (Read here)

The name has or will be changed, but the agenda will be the same: create hysteria using extreme conditions in computer models to announce that mankind is destroying the earth. We must then spend billions on research to confirm these nearsighted claims and have the UN penalize the wealthy countries causing the problem while redistributing the funds to impoverished nations.

Maurice Strong, one of the leaders in this conspiracy is now in China (surprise!) despite ties to all of these bogus assertions, conferences and even the "Food for Oil" scandal. Strong is on the Board of Directors at the Chicago Climate Exchange (Chicago?) and is the close ally to Al Gore to push this agenda for their financial benefits.

Maurice Strong...China...Chicago and the budding new term "Ocean Acidification" -- you are now up to date, so let the emails begin.

Iranian Expanding Nuclear Program with Hostage Distraction

Iranian government has ordered their country's Atomic Energy Organization to build 10 more nuclear enrichment sites, thumbing their nose at the UN. This is after the board of governors of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency vote 25-3 demanding that Iran immediately stop operations at the nuclear facility in Qom that recently was uncovered.

"Demanded" - that made me snicker when I read it.

Now Iran has returned to their favorite diplomatic tool: hostage negotiation.

This time five Britons were being held and as usual, the Iranian regime is claims that these people broke the law (in this case by wandering into Iran's territorial waters)and denounces them as spies.

These hostages were released Wednesday morning.

So is it a distraction from their nuclear program?

After the press officially ignored the Iranian progress, the detainees were released.

Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said world powers had made no progress over the last year in settling concerns about Iran's nuclear program.

"It is now well over a year since the agency was last able to engage Iran in discussions about these outstanding issues. We have effectively reached a dead end." - El Baradei

Dead end.

Obama's diplomacy was supposed to correct this...

Different President, same results. Anyone else see a pattern forming?

Obama disses Dalai Lama, losing the Jews but awards Mary Robinson

A recent poll (August) in the Jerusalem Post revealed that only 4% think President Obama is pro-Israel. That's a staggering number and if nothing else, it's the MOST NEGATIVE Israeli view of the President.

From the article:

"Fifty-one percent of Jewish Israelis consider Obama's administration more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israel, according to the survey, while 35% consider it neutral and 10% declined to express an opinion. The poll of 500 people representing a statistical model of the Jewish Israeli population had a margin of error of 4.5%."

As the article notes, the decline began after the meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Israelis have declining faith that Obama and his support.

Perhaps we can consult the Dalai Lama.

Well, we could if Obama met with the exiled Tibetan leader when he visited, but the meeting was postponed to "strengthen relations with China."

As US News & World Report reported, "The U.S. decision to postpone the meeting appears to be part of a strategy to improve ties with China that also includes soft-pedaling criticism of China's human rights ..."

Got that...

For the first time since 1991, the Tibetan spiritual leader will visit Washington this week and not meet with the president.

This President is going to STAND UP the Dalai Lama because of China. I'm sure it will help.

The last time he was here, in 2007, President George W. Bush became the first sitting president to meet with him publicly, at a ceremony at the Capitol in which he awarded the Dalai Lama the Congressional Gold Medal, Congress's highest civilian award.

For decades we've stood firm to support the Israelis and now they question our leader's commitment. Sean Penn visits and condones the dictator Hugo Chavez and White House members (or czars) praise Chavez. Meanwhile Jewish synagogues are attacked and the Jews retreat from the country.

Lastly, Obama has awarded the Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, who is recognized as secretary general of the 2001 "World Conference Against Racism" in Durban, South Africa. This dismissed the virulent anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and at least implicitly anti-American.

John Bolton, ambassador to the UN, referenced that the conference was so vile that the "...draft declaration that Secretary of State Colin Powell correctly called it "a throwback to the days of 'Zionism equals racism,'" referring to the infamous 1975 U.N. General Assembly resolution to that effect.

Bolton continued: "Outrage over Durban reignited earlier this year when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did her best to get the United States to attend the successor conference (“Durban II”) to polish Mr. Obama’s 'multilateralist' bona fides. Because the Durban II draft declaration reaffirmed Durban I’s hateful conclusions, even the Obama administration couldn’t swallow attending."

No surprise that the "Right Wing" don't care for Ms. Robinson. This 2002 article by Michael Rubin on National Review calls her a "War Criminal" -- too harsh?

It's no denying Robinson's support of Palestians and the likemindedness of the Obama administration to walk a thin line with a hallow support of Israel. If Israel representatives at the UN were asked about Robinson, I got a feeling that they would not support Obama's selection.

So, while we still remain unpopular in the Middle East, the President seems to go to extreme lengths to limit support for our one ally - Israel. Instead, the White House will extend good will sentiments to polish relations with the Chinese Communists.

We can keep head scratching trying to understand the "Hope and Change" on the global scale, but for me, it's both saddening and disturbing.

The Pondering Prez & Illegal Drones?

I guarantee we will not hear or read much about the recent UN attack on America's unmanned drone attacks on terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the BBC report UN human rights investigator says America needs to "explain the legal basis" for these attacks.

For the article: Mr Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions, told the BBC: "My concern is that these drones, these Predators, are being operated in a framework which may well violate international humanitarian law and international human rights law. The onus is really on the government of the United States to reveal more about the ways in which it makes sure that arbitrary executions, extrajudicial executions, are not in fact being carried out through the use of these weapons."

Sounds like language that was thrust at President Bush, so where's the coverage here in the States?

Nowhere and don't expect it.

The Obama administration has the press under control and the "War on FOX" had an amazing effect to CNN, MSNBC and others: don't throw mud on the White House or you won't get the interviews.

So while the President continues his month long pondering over additional troop support for his General in Afghanistan, a car bomb in Pakistan killed 90. Hillary Clinton's visit was marred by the blast and it was reported that her response was:

"I want you to know that this fight is not Pakistan's alone. So this is our struggle as well and we commend the Pakistani military for their courageous fight and we commit to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Pakistani people in your fight for peace and security."

The UN that is critical of the US tactics garnered 6 casualties (and 9 injured)in Kabul as rockets attacked the hotel used as a UN safe house. Some eyewitness testimony was picked up by the BBC as Afghanistan is facing the most violent month to date.

Yes, October is the MOST VIOLENT MONTH since the war began in 2001 -- 55 US Troop deaths this month.

From the ABC News report:

"Meanwhile, the President continues to consult with his advisers and military leaders in reaching a decision on his Afghanistan policy. The President plans to meet with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen on Friday, as he approaches making a final judgment."

Our President "continues to consult", "contemplates", "coming closer to making a decision", "evaluate this process" on and on and on....

Secretary of State said we stand shoulder to shoulder to fight and UN says we are breaking International Law.

Quagmire?

It was easier to declare Swine Flu a national emergency than fight a war to win.

When I was young, probably too young for this analogy, my grandfather was waiting for me to get dressed to go sledding in the snow. I was bundled in layers and layers of clothes, struggling to snap the buttons on my giant parka.

"Are you going to piss or get off the pot?" he yelped from the front seat of the family station wagon.

Well Mr. President, you can keep adding layers of protection from advisers and the press, but at the end of all of this you need piss or get off of the pot.
