Re Climagedon: Seems the science is less settled and the jig is more up.

Re KSM goes to NYC: carnival sideshow barkers Obama and Holder bring a three-ring circus to NYC. If Obama’s ostensible concern for the economy were genuine he might entertain the idea of holding the trial in Madison Square Garden, making it a pay-per-view event, and sell the foreign rights to a Saudi/Wahabi syndicate.

Three topics:
1) unemployment
2) environmental extremism.
3) terrorism

All can be traced back to government backed central banking.

1) is self-evident so I won’t bother.
2) is more subtle but basically environmental destruction is a form of mal-investment that the illustrious School of Austrian Economics teaches about. Communism (Reincarnation of the Reds) is a flawed reaction to the boom/bust cycle caused by government backed central banking. Marx mistakenly blamed the free market for the sins of government enforced money and banking cartels.
3) is not so subtle. My wise and witty brother said the US dollar is based on the “Plutonium Standard.” Basically, the US enforces its privilege of issuer of the world’s reserve currency by military aggression if necessary. The “sin” of Iraq and Iran was/is repudiation of the US dollar in favor of the Euro, IMO.

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity. Ecclesiastes 5:10

For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10

If the contractions are here, they must be a lot worse out in the “boondocks”.

CLIMATE-GATE – It is not clear to me that Obama has the political skills to govern effectively. The “Oh look, a black man can become President” Hope-n-Change romantic dream hooey has lost its luster. These environmental restrictions are a major damper on an already bad economy and may be political suicide for the Democrats and their Messiah.

KHALID Sheikh Mohammed – also known as KSM. It ought to be possible to give him a jury given so-called “overwhelming evidence” of guilt – presumably beyond confessions.
Clowns in judicial robes like Lance Ito should be removed from the bench. A competent legal system should be able to hold a fair but not out-of-control trial and convict those who are guilty. Perhaps I ask too much of American jurisprudence. Televisions must be kept out of courtrooms lest we turn them into entertainment studios.

The government is not telling the truth about unemployment? What a shock! What? The government and their minions are BSing the public with lies about global warming so they can advance what even Lord Monckton calls a “global governance”? What a shock! What? Obama and his henchmen are stacking the deck in favor of anti-American jihadists? What a shock! I’m just a red state rube who has never been to an Ivy League school, not even for just a football game. (Come to think of it why would anybody go to an Ivy league football game?) But that’s another subject. My point is, none of this should be news to anybody who even remotely uses a little logic and common sense in reviewing the news of the day.
