Russia Not PC, Coffee Police are GOOD

Preview For Sunday 112909

Hey folks,

Welcome to the Big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog. Glad you checked in. You know, ever Russia knows who to look for when something happens. According to the AP - Russia: Bomb caused train crash that killed 26 By IVAN SEKRETAREV and DAVID NOWAK, Associated Press Writer Ivan Sekretarev And David Nowak, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 43 mins ago

UGLOVKA, Russia – A powerful homemade bomb sent a high-speed Moscow-to-St. Petersburg train careening off its tracks, Russian officials said Saturday, killing at least 26 people in what officials consider an act of terrorism.

The head of Russia's Federal Security Service, Alexander Bortnikov, said experts found pieces of an explosive device that detonated around 9:30 Friday night as the train raced over it, gouging a five-foot (1.5 meter) crater and strewing smoking wreckage over a rural stretch of track. He said a terrorism inquiry had been opened.

As many as 100 people were left injured by the disaster, officials said, and 18 remained missing Saturday night.

"Indeed, this was a terrorist attack," said Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the investigative committee of Russia's General Prosecutor's Office, according to Interfax. Bortnikov said the bomb exploded with a force equivalent to 15 pounds (7 kilograms) of TNT.

So they consider this a terrorist attack. They have no problem calling it what it is. Why does our President? Anyway, since they DO call it what it was, who do the Russians look at?

Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer told APTN that Islamist separatists who operate in the North Caucasus and nationalist groups would naturally fall under suspicion.

Really? Just like us, Russian has had dealings with Muslims before.

Russia has been hit by a number of major terrorist attacks since the 1991 Soviet collapse, including the seizures of the Dubrovka theater in October 2002 and the taking of more than 1,000 hostages in Beslan's School Number One in September 2004.

Both were staged by Muslim separatists from Russia's North Caucasus, who also claimed responsibility for the bombings of the Moscow subway, a rock concert and two airliners.

So they are not afraid to call it what it is, and look for the most likely suspects. I bet you Dollars to Donuts that they are not going to be stopping little old ladies at the Airports. Or just randomly searching vehicles to avoid the PC police. They are going to do whatever they deem necessary to protect THEIR Citizens and interests. Why shouldn't we?

Coming right up today?

Eating Healthy Can Prevent The Flu

IWA For Sunday 112909

I have to mention something here. You know those two banners that you see on the top left? Fluwiki.com and Pathology.org? They were both awarded to me for being an accurate and useful source of information. That means, what you see here, can be trusted and is helpful to those dealing with certain Health issues. I have posted them on every post for the past 7 days, however, I have had to put a disclaimer on a few posts because they have nothing to do with health. I do not claim to nor do I work for Fluwiki.com or Pathology.org . So from this point on, just to avoid any hardship or aggravation of these two fine organizations, I will only add the banners on Health related posts. I thank them both again very much for the recognition, and will continue to visit both on a regular bases, sharing useful information from the Sources. But Politics, Religion, or any other "Hot Button" issues, I will spare them the headaches. {Smile}

Oh, all that in a second. Did you catch this? I do not know how I should feel about this. It's almost time for me to say to you, "I'm going to fill my cup, today's Coffee is, Folgers Gourmet Selections, Carmel Drizzle, that can be found in your local store or at www.folgers.com." Then I would tell you to "go get whatever gogo juice that gets you going, and I'll be right back."

You all know I drink Coffee. I don't just drink it, I live on it. About three pots a day. So when I saw this, Reuters - "Coffee police" fight fraud on shop shelves by Peter Murphy Peter Murphy – Wed Nov 25, 11:57 am ET, I didn't know HOW to react.

GUARAJUBA, Brazil (Reuters) – Brazil's coffee industry is engaged in a tireless battle against rogue roasters who cut corners and costs by bulking up their products with corn, soy or even wood, the ABIC industry association says.

Ewww, REALLY? How hard is it to just pack Coffee Beans? One of the reason I prefer Whole Bean most of the time. I know what I'm getting.

The tainted products have not been known to cause health problems in the consumers who drink them, usually unknowingly, but the industry takes a hard line against the fraudulent practice to protect the beverage's image.

{Laughing} "Usually unknowingly," WHO WOULD DRINK IT KNOWINGLY?

The joint initiative known as the Seal of Purity is run by the Brazilian Coffee Industry Association (ABIC) and involves laboratory testing of coffee picked at random from supermarket shelves. The seal was launched 20 years ago.

"The most common thing is to find wood from the (coffee) tree and shells from the beans but you can also find corn or caramel, which is much cheaper than coffee," said Almir Jose da Silva, ABIC's chairman.

Most of Brazil's exported coffee is shipped as raw beans, confining this problem to products sold at home. Silva said the problem was still small given the huge amount of coffee sold in Brazil, the world's No. 1 coffee grower and No. 2 consumer.

Oh? {Sigh of relief} That's good news. That is one Food Police I would be happy to see. {Smile}

OK folks, Like I said before, be right back.
Peter

New Method Discovered To Kill Cancer

Why is this NOT Headline News?

Hey folks,

Seriously. Why is this NOT Headline News. Why is this not, at least the POSSIBILITY of this leading to an actual CURE for Cancer, NOT the Headline, Byline, Front Page news?

I first heard of this by a friend of mine. I started searching for this in the news, on the web, and anywhere I could think to look. I only found it HERE. According to Rocket News - Vaccine implant ‘kills tumours’

An implant placed under the skin can instruct the immune system to attack and kill cancer cells, at least in mice, say researchers.

It is the first "cancer vaccine" delivered in the form of a plastic implant that can destroy tumours, say the Harvard University team.

It works by attracting certain immune cells and showing them what the tumour in question looks like.

This really is fascinating.

Cancer Research UK said that vaccine research was showing "real promise".

Cancer cells are good at evading the immune system because the body does not recognise them as "foreign".

Plastic disc

The idea of a vaccine to create an immune attack against a tumour is not a new one and there are versions currently in clinical trials.

"This study provides some useful insights into how we can effectively train the immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells"

Dr Joanna Owens, Cancer Research UK

But most other studies have looked at removing immune cells from the body, reprogramming them to recognise the individual’s cancer and then returning them.

In the latest study, researchers developed an 8mm plastic disc that releases chemicals that attract a specific type of immune cell called a dendritic cell.

Immune cells can access the disc, which is implanted just under the skin. Once inside, they are exposed to proteins found on the surface of the cancer cells to be targeted.

With this information, the dendritic cells move on to the lymph nodes where they tell another type of immune cell, known as T cells, to hunt down and kill the cancer cells.

In mice with skin cancer, the implant was shown to successfully eliminate the tumours, the journal Science Translational Medicine reported.

ELIMINATING THE TUMOURS! Killing the Cancer. Or, in other words folks, CURING the person that has Cancer.

Healthy tissue

The researchers believe such implants could one day be used alongside chemotherapy and surgery to treat cancer.

In theory, the fact the immune system only targets the specific cancer cells avoids causing damage to healthy tissue and it is hoped the technique might produce long-term resistance reducing the chance of relapse.

For use in humans, the structure of the implant itself would need little modification but researchers said the immune activation components would need to be altered.

Study leader Professor David Mooney, an expert in bioengineering, said the technique was a "major step forward" in cancer vaccine design.

"Inserted anywhere under the skin – much like the implantable contraceptives that can be placed in a woman’s arm – the implants activate an immune response that destroys tumour cells," he said.

Dr Joanna Owens, science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said research into therapeutic cancer vaccines was beginning to show "real promise".

"This study provides some useful insights into how we can effectively train the immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells.

"The use of an implant to deliver the vaccine is particularly interesting and the results look encouraging but more research is needed to see if the technology can be scaled up and adapted for use in people."

Of course it can. Why is this not making Mainstream News? Why are there not FAILED Government Programs that are being shut down and the financing of these FAILED programs being diverted to THIS Program immediately. Why other than the fact, most, most likely, have never heard of this, is there not PRIVATE Investors lining up to fund this?

Think of the savings in Healthcare. No more long term care. No more, in the long run, no more or REDUCED need for Chemo. No more long term Medication need? A person, in the future, maybe able to go in after diagnosis, have this disc implanted, and their own bodies can heal themselves. Think of the Billions Saved in,,,Oh. Perhaps I just answered my own question.

Obama Offends India, US Workers, At The Same Time

Ignorant or Dangerous. Both lead to the same result.

Hey folks

Let's leave aside the fact that Obama, just offended the entire country of India by putting them in a tent, surrounding himself with his own staff and leaving MANY Indian Americans, even those in high public office, off the invite list, and making a statement like this.

"Yours is the first official state visit of my Presidency, its fitting that you and India be so recognised."

Why thank you your Hindass. The general reaction in India has been of course "Who the heck does this guy think he is?"

Uh, King Hussein Obama.

Do you remember this?

Obama campaigned, "I will stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship job overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America."

Yet, Obama filled some of his top White House posts with people who not only support expanding the H-1B visa program, but see Offshore Outsourcing as a plus for the U.S. Economy. Will it hurt the Job growth here? Some say of course it will, and of course, it goes against what he said during the campaign.

This lead to Diana Farrell, who is now Deputy Economic Advisor to Obama, releasing a Study that Created a new rule for Offshore Outsourcing. It claims that for every dollar spent on a Business Process outsourced to India, the US Economy gains at least $1.12. It really doesn't do anything for Job Growth here, "but it is good for the Economy" they claim.

So now in the tent, Obama attempts to explain this concept he has over Outsourcing. According to Computer World - White House sends out 'world is flat' message with India visit 'Outsourcing America' author says claim of balance in the trading relationship is wrong Patrick Thibodeau

Again, you will not find this anywhere in the MMD.

November 24, 2009 (Computerworld) The California wine served at a U.S. State Dept. lunch today for India's Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, was called Conundrum, a word that sums up the difficulty trying to decipher President Barack Obama's approach to offshore outsourcing and H-1B visas.

The Obama administration has yet to outline its views on offshore outsourcing of skilled jobs and this continued today with Singh's visit. But there were clues nonetheless among the people who were invited at a State Department luncheon for Singh.

Among those at the luncheon was Thomas Friedman, a columnist at The New York Times and author of "The World is Flat."

And among the 16 people seated at the head table were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, whose state was picked by Tata Consultancy Services for its North American Delivery Center in Milford. The state offered about $19 million tax credits and other incentives to get Tata and, as of this month, 225 Ohioans work at the facility, according to the governor's office.

But although more than 50% of Tata's revenue comes from North America, of the more than 123,000 workers employed by Tata Consultancy Services, only 900 are Americans, says a report Tata issued in July. In fact, Tata has more workers who are Ecuadoran than American.

{Sigh} We already know about the Ecuadoran and Liberal US relationship.

Also at the head table was Ratan Tata, of the Tata Group, the parent of the IT consultancy group, says a White House pool report from the luncheon filed by Politico reporter Amie Pames.

Tata's Ohio project, announced in Oct. 2007, was expected to create 1,000 positions within the first three years. But Tata and Indian offshore firms will have to add a lot more U.S. workers if legislation by U.S. Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is adopted. Of particular concern is the bill's so-called "50-50" rule that limits the number of workers on H-1B or L-1 visas to half of a firm's total U.S. headcount. The majority of Indian companies in the U.S. have far more people working with visas than not.

Obama didn't address offshoring and only talked broadly about economic cooperation. "India will play a pivotal role in meeting the major challenges we face today. And this includes my top economic priority, creating good jobs with good wages for the American people," he said.

Obama also said that "Indian investment in America is creating and sustaining jobs across the United States," adding that there is "significant balance in our trading relationships."

REALLY? Folks, we already know Obama just makes stuff up all the time. Could anyone show me a balance here?

Ron Hira, an assistant professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology and author of "Outsourcing America," says the claim that there's balance in the trading relationship is wrong. "In fact we're running a large services deficit and an even larger jobs deficit with India," he said.

"[Expanding trade relationships] in the absence of needed policy changes means that more American jobs will be shipped overseas," Hira said. "That may be good for U.S. companies but it will be another blow to American workers. Obama has not lifted a finger for American workers when it comes to offshoring, and he's done even worse by giving the false impression he would."

Folks, he LIKES the unemployment Rate in double digits. It means MORE US Citizens on the Government Dole. It means more US Citizens are reliant on the Government just to survive. It means more Votes for Democrats {So they think} in the future.

Among the steps that Hira said he believes are needed are changes to the H-1B and L-1 programs so U.S. workers "aren't being forced to train foreign replacements," action on government tax subsidies for multinationals that operate in low tax places, and a "full accounting" of the work that its moving offshore.

"What's more troubling with pronouncements like this is that Obama isn't even addressing the real concerns American workers have about outsourcing," said Hira.

Be it Outsourcing, be it "Green Jobs," be it "Shovel ready Jobs," Be it, ANY JOBS, Obama lies. He really doesn't care. Saying he will do something, then doing the opposite, or nothing at all, IS Obama's M.O.. He comes right out and LIES to the American people on a daily bases. Why should this be any different?

Then again, offending India is not abnormal for Obama either. He offends India, Israel, Brittan, and even our own country, on a daily bases. He offended Poland, South Korea, and many other US Allies. Yet he goes out of his way to Bow before other World Leaders and works really hard at NOT offending those that hate us, and would love nothing more, than to see America wiped off the Map.

Naive or the most Dangerous threat that our country have ever faced. You be the judge. In 2010, you can start making the point by slowing this Quest for Tyranny down by Voting back a BALANCE in Government. If he continues non-the-less, in 2012, you can be the Saviour of this country. VOTE THIS DICTATOR WANNABE, or IGNORANT FOOL, out of office all together.

Iran to Pull Out of Nuclear Treaty

I really do not know what else I can say on this.

Hey folks,

It really gets frustrating. I really do not know what else I can say on this. I have been watching "Little Hitler's" rise in power in Iran. I have been telling you they want to Wipe Israel off the map, chant death to America, and CONTINUE to build a Nuclear Bomb to achieve said goals. I have told you over and over again, that Sanctions will NOT work, that they have more Nuclear Facilities than they tell us about, and that they are closer to achieving their goal than we "know." I keep telling you that they will not stop, unless they are stopped.

Yet, time and time again, all we hear is the "experts say" then, "the experts were surprised." Now this? According to the AP - Iranian lawmaker: Iran could leave nuclear treaty By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press Writer – 8 mins ago

TEHRAN, Iran – A conservative Iranian legislator warned Saturday that his country may pull out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty after a U.N. resolution censuring Tehran — a move that could seriously undermine world attempts to prevent Iran from developing atomic weapons.

There is only one way to stop them. However, our President is to much of a coward to even entertain that.

Iran's official news agency quoted a hardline political analyst who made the same point, another indication the idea could be gaining steam.

If Iran withdraws from the treaty, its nuclear program would no longer be subject to oversight by the U.N. nuclear agency. That in turn would be a significant blow to efforts to ensure that no enriched uranium is diverted from use as fuel to warhead development.

IT'S NOT SUBJECT TO IT NOW!!! They do not care what the UN says, nor do they care what the US says. Especially Obama.

The lawmaker's threat came a day after the board of the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency passed a resolution demanding Tehran immediately stop building its newly revealed nuclear facility near the holy city of Qom and freeze uranium enrichment.

Newly Revealed, yeah right.

"The parliament, in its first reaction to this illegal and politically-motivated resolution, can consider the issue of withdrawing from the NPT," Mohammad Karamirad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency, referring to the treaty. "The parliament ... (also) can block the entry of IAEA inspectors to the country."

SO WHAT?!?

Karamirad, a senior lawmaker and member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, does not speak for the government but his statements often reflect the government's thinking. His threat could be a tactic to warn the West of possible consequences if it pursues further action against Iran, such as strengthened sanctions.

{Sigh}

Another hardline lawmaker, Hossein Ebrahimi, was quoted by IRNA as saying that Iran's parliament will discuss the IAEA resolution on Sunday and will make a decision on how to react.

Iran's parliament has issued similar warnings in the past, most recently in 2006 when some lawmakers threatened to pull the country out of the nonproliferation treaty during another time of increased U.N. pressure over Tehran's nuclear program. Iran backed down, and the government has said that it has no intention of withdrawing from the treaty, which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology.

They don't really need to. It's not doing anything to stop them.

Iran's government insists its nuclear program is meant only for peaceful purposes, though the U.S. and other Western nations suspect Tehran is seeking to acquire atomic weapons.

Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's chief delegate to the U.N. nuclear agency, was also defiant Saturday in the face of the agency's fresh demands, saying on state television that Iran will limit its cooperation with the U.N. watchdog to its treaty obligations and will not cooperate beyond that.

"Our first reaction to this resolution is that they (the U.N. agency) should not expect us to do what we did several times in the past few months when we cooperated beyond our obligations to remove ambiguities," Soltanieh said.

He added that the country's nuclear activities will not be interrupted by resolutions from the U.N. nuclear agency's board, the U.N. Security Council or even the threat of military strikes against the facilities.

Don't threaten. Just DO IT!

Ali Shirzadian, spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said his agency his ready to proceed with its nuclear projects.

"Technically speaking, we are fully prepared to produce fuel required for the Tehran reactor. To begin this, we are waiting for the order from top authorities," Shirzadian told the government-run Borna news agency.

Ready? Blah, blah, blah,

Friday's resolution — and the resulting vote of the IAEA's 35-nation decision-making board — were significant on several counts.

The resolution was approved by 25 members of the 35-nation board — including the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — marking a rare measure of unity from the six world powers on Iran.

Moscow and Beijing have traditionally cautioned against efforts to punish Iran for its defiance over its nuclear program, either preventing new Security Council sanctions or watering down their potency.

The IAEA resolution criticized Iran for defying a U.N. Security Council ban on uranium enrichment — the source of both nuclear fuel and the fissile core of warheads.

It also censured Iran for secretly building a uranium enrichment facility, known as Fordo, and demanded that it immediately suspend further construction.

The resolution noted that IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei cannot confirm that Tehran's nuclear program is exclusively geared toward peaceful uses, and expressed "serious concern" that Iranian stonewalling of an IAEA probe means "the possibility of military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program" cannot be excluded.

Are you kidding? Seriously? Idiots.

The Iranian news agency also quoted hardline political analyst Mahdi Mohammadi as saying that the U.N. agency's resolution was forcing Iran to reconsider its membership in the nonproliferation treaty.

"The attitude of the agency is gradually bringing Iran and the rest of the developing nations to the conclusion that membership in NPT has no benefit but damage and restriction. In this case, the question that will be raised seriously is will continuation of this path serve Iran's national interests?" IRNA quoted him as saying.

Folks, there is really nothing more to say. They will not stop unless they are stopped. They will continue until they are unable to continue. They will build a Nuclear Bomb. They will USE it. The next time the "experts" are surprised again, maybe while the world watches a giant Mushroom cloud rise over Israel, or even a US City. Enough is enough already. Let's end this now.

Eating Healthy Can Prevent The Flu

Health and Science for Sunday 112909

Hey folks,

So now that you may be starting to recover from all that Turkey and sides, you may be ready to getting back to eating everyday food. Some of you just ordered Pizza last night. {Smile} I did. But when selected "What's for Dinner" one of the things you may want to consider is that the "WHAT" can be important.

Our new friends over at Fluwiki.com have a great piece. It's by, well OK, I have no idea, but it's entitled The Natural way to be Healthy. Here it is.

In order to prevent against the flu, you should do more than just practice good hygiene. Every aspect of you life should be help in accordance with preventing from getting ill. Because even the simplest illness can lead to complication an ultimately end in something worse.

A well balanced diet and keeping up with your nutrition should be a daily endeavor that will help to ensure your health and keep you from coming down with an illness. Most doctors recommend that their patients should take supplements made from all natural products that have been fermented. The majority of your immune system is found in your gastrointestinal tract. And a healthy upkeep of your intestinal bacteria is vital to helping our bodily defenses function in the way they are supposed to.

In fact many times you can link any of your past ailments to the origin of where you illness started, and you undoubtedly you will see that your illness originated in your gastrointestinal tract.

Key supplements that will help to strengthen your immune system are the following:

Probiotics: these supplements will improve your body’s ability to fight infection.

Mushroom Blends: certain times of mushroom blend supplements enhance the immune component activity of your cells. These mushroom blends are even more effective if they are paired with a health dose of probiotics.

Cod Liver Oil: Many studies indicate that high omega-3 fatty acid supplements help to regulate your immune system’s response to any type of illness. Cod Liver Oil is also one of the best sources of vitamins A and D. Vitamin A is a vital component of post illness recovery, because most of the time if you have an illness, your Vitamin A is severely lessened, so you must try to rebuild that component on your immune system.

Vitamin A has also been found to manage your viral conditions, but be weary high doses of Vitamin A for long periods of time can be toxic, a medical doctor should be consulted before committing to taking a regular dose of Vitamin A.

Coconut Oil: In its simplest form, coconut oil has been found to be anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-monolaurin. It has been found to destroy viruses such as influenza, therefore healthy doses of coconut oil will prevent you from coming down with an illness.

Whole Food Supplements: Herb and spice extracts have been used for thousands of years. These can include: goldenseal, elderberry, garlic, ginger, oregano, oregano, and horseradish. Most of these are household items, and can be used without limit. Formulas that use a combination of supplements have been proven to be most effective.

Vitamin C Supplements: This is probably one of the best supplements you can take to bolster a healthy immune system. If you feel the symptoms of a cold coming on, it is most effective if taking 24 hours before you feel the full-swing symptoms of an illness. To ensure a strong immune system, be sure to take vitamin C supplements as often as everyday. Vitamin C is safe to take in large doses, and can be found in most fruit and vegetables as well.

If you do not like taking excessive numbers of pills, then try to incorporate any of the following into your cooking. Not only will it help prevent you from coming down with an illness, but you will also “spice up” your cooking.

Now any of you that have known me for any length of time, KNOW that I have always said, and will always say, I eat what I want. All these studies that come out every year, always seem to contradict themselves all the time. Coffee bad, good, bad. Red Wine, good, bad, good, ETC. However, FACTS and TRUTH, are FACTS and TRUTH.

It is TRUE that an Apple is better for you than say a Chocolate Bar. A Banana is better than a bag of chips. Etc. So do not misunderstand me here. I understand and DO try to eat healthy. I DO take Vitamin C at the first signs of me getting a Cold. It WORKS. But at the same time, I understand everything in moderation.

It is true, the healthier you eat, the healthier you will be. Try it, you may find you like it. I GUARANTEE you will feel better at the same time.

IWA For Sunday 112909

ANYONE who is still propagating the whole GWBS

Hey folks,

Since the news came out, not in the Mainstream Media Drones Reports, but the News came out non-the-less, that the Chicken Little Crowd {Official Scientist paid to continue the scam of Global Warming} have been Emailing each other as to how to continue the SCAM that is Global Warming, keep those REAL Scientist out of publications that PROVE it is a SCAM, and how to hide the FACT we are no longer Warming AT ALL, some have decided to INCREASE the propaganda that is GWBS.

So this week, I am awarding ANYONE who is still propagating the whole GWBS. From Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, India's environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva {Who says Rich Countries have to pay him to protect the Rain forest, which is being destroyed by Man but not GWBS}, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, President Barack Obama, Kim Carstensen, WWF's climate change director, Denmark's Climate Minister Connie Hedegaard, all the way down to the Idiots like Arthur Max, Associated Press Writer, that are either ORDERED to or chose to write Dribble such as this, AP - US and China to reduce emissions, but not enough, while ignoring the FACTS that is it all based on a SCAM!

AMSTERDAM – Even after the U.S. and China set targets this week for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the world's combined pledges ahead of next month's climate summit fall far short of what experts say is needed to avert dangerous global warming.

That's all I have to post here. You want to read the rest of this garbage, then clink the link.

There IS NO GLOBAL WARMING. Not since 98. MORONS! There is no man-made-global-envio-threat to this World. Period. It is all a SCAM! As I posted Tuesday, Nail in The Cap and Tax Coffin?

These are from those pesky Private Emails form those claiming GW is anything more than BS. You know, the whole bases for Cap and Tax? The whole bases for the Government to come in and start regulating your life. The whole Bases for Al Gore to make more Millions, while YOU have to live in a tent and ride a bike to work. The whole bases for our President to give up our Sovereignty to the UN and join the One World Government. The whole bases of the new and growing Green Industry. IT'S A SCAM!!!

Hey folks, I do not have time to go over everything that I have told you for YEARS. The evidence is clear. THERE IS NO MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING!!! From the fact we haven't "Warmed" in over a decade, to the Polar Bears exploding in record numbers. From the fact the ICE is NOT melting and the sea is not rising, to the Caribou are mating in record numbers by the Alaskan Pipeline. From Al Gore using a clip from the Sci-Fi, "Day After Tomorrow" movie in his movie about man destroying the planet, to and including the fact, this is ALL MADE UP.

But those computer models? Garbage in, garbage out. I have talked about that as well. I could get a computer to tell us the probable out come of an Asteroid hitting San Fransisco, and it will seems dire. Problem is, THERE IS NOT ASTEROID! You get the point.

We have talked about how devastating Cap and Tax would be. The Poor and Middle Class will be hit the hardest. The Rich? They can afford to play the game and buy the scam that is Carbon Credits. YOU? You better get ready to chose if you will buy gas, or food.

So instead of investigating the FACT that this is all a Hoax, Some just continue to propagate the SCAM in the FACE of all the evidence that the only thing that is Man-Made is the claim that there IS a threat.

Congratulation to all of you propagandists out there. That either out of ignorance or blind obedience have decided to continue to attempt to push this obscene agenda of power, control, and money, YOU are the idiot of the Week. You are just making yourselves look like fools, and you will be recognized as such in the long run. When more and more Americans, and people all around the world WAKE UP to this scam, ANYONE attempting to further advance it, will be seen for what they are, IDIOTS!

Boot Licking Obamanite Does Not Change The Facts

From The Emails 11-27-09

Hey folks,

"I agree with this. I know you want to Blame Obama for the death of our soldiers in Afghanistan. But I would rather place the blame where it rightfully deserves to be. That is with the nonthinking gut reactionary decision making by Bush that got us into this to begin with."

105, that we know about. 105 or our Men and Women in Afghanistan had been slaughter since August 30,when Gen. Stanley McChrystal sent Defense Secretary Robert Gates a War Assessment in which he said more U.S. troops, and a new U.S. strategy, are needed if the U.S. is to defeat the insurgents in Afghanistan. Since he said HELP, and Obama dithered, 105 of America Children have been killed. While Obama played Golf, partied at the White House, literally, and tour the world apologizing for American and bowing to foreign Leaders, WE lost Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Husbands and Wives, Sons and Daughters. THAT IS THE FACTS. No mater how many Boot Licking Obamanites attempt to excuse him will change that. The BLOOD is on his hands.

Here is the piece they are thinking excuses Obama. This Boot Licker, Joel Achenbach, in the Washington Post, wants you to believe that Obama's indecision is actually a sign of his Brilliance. I'm not kidding folks. According to The Washington Post - In his slow decision-making, Obama goes with head, not gut By Joel Achenbach Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, November 25, 2009

President George W. Bush once boasted, "I'm not a textbook player, I'm a gut player." The new tenant of the Oval Office takes a strikingly different approach. President Obama is almost defiantly deliberative, methodical and measured, even when critics accuse him of dithering. When describing his executive style, he goes into Spock mode, saying, "You've got to make decisions based on information and not emotions."

OK. Nothing wrong with being a Star Trek fan. But you can tell where this guy is coming from by this next paragraph.

Obama's handling of the Afghanistan conundrum has been a spectacle of deliberation unlike anything seen in the White House in recent memory. The strategic review began in September. Again and again, the war council convened in the Situation Room. The president mulled an array of unappealing options. Next week, finally, he will tell the American public the outcome of all this strategizing.

Yeah, this guy does not like us being in Afghanistan to begin with. He thinks that sending more Troops to help those dying there is an unappealing option. This guy is most likely an antiwar kook to begin with. But I continued on.

"He's establishing his decision-making process as being almost diametrically the opposite of the previous administration," says Lawrence Wilkerson, a retired Army colonel who served as Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's chief of staff. Wilkerson, who teaches national security decision-making at George Washington University, says the Bush-Cheney style was "cowboy-like, typical Texas, typical Wyoming, and extremely secretive."

{Sigh}

Stephen Wayne, who teaches about the presidency at Georgetown, said: "He's not an instinctive decision-maker as Bush was. He doesn't go with his gut, he thinks with his head, which I think is desirable." Referring to the Afghanistan decision, Wayne said, "I don't think he is an indecisive person, I just think this is a tough one."

Complete and utter BS. Not "an indecisive person?" What a joke. He is only decisive if the polls say he should do something. Well, then, and when he has to satisfy his Kook Base. He is not indecisive about Afghanistan either truthfully. He seems that way because he can not do what he WANTS to do and that is surrender and move on with attempting to take over this Country. But even some of his major supporters will not allow that to happen. So he has to do something.

But to his critics, Obama's prolonged Afghanistan review suggests weakness rather than wisdom. Former vice president Richard B. Cheney lobbed the "dithering" accusation last month. Then last week, former senator Fred D. Thompson (R-Tenn.) said on his radio show that Obama has waited so long to decide on an Afghanistan strategy that the war is now lost. "The president does not have the will and determination to do what's necessary to win it. His heart's not in it, and never has been," Thompson said.

Our ENEMIES also see this as a weakness rather than wisdom. Why do you think that they are stepping up attacks on us? They do not fear Obama.

Obama's style has been attacked from his left flank as well. Liberals have zinged him as being too cautious, too much of a compromiser. Some of his supporters would like to see him show more fire in the belly and recapture the energy that propelled him to victory last year.

"I think the Obama we've seen as president is a very different Obama than we saw during the campaign. He doesn't seem to be connected, he doesn't seem to have the passion, he doesn't seem to be conveying the grand and inspiring vision," says the progressive historian Allan Lichtman of American University. "If you want to be a transformational president, you've got to take the risks."

{Laughing} He is not kooky ENOUGH for the Kooks.

Sean Wilentz, a history professor at Princeton, says Obama has suffered from unrealistic expectations among those who put him in office. "They kind of were sold Utopia, and they bought it, and it didn't happen," he says. "People were comparing the candidate to Abraham Lincoln before he served a day of his presidency. Nobody can live up to that."

DUH! This guy, Obama, is a MORON! He has no experience. No VISIBLE or PROVABLE signs of intelligence whatsoever. Has accomplished NOTHING! Yet, there are still people in this country waiting for him to pay off their mortgages and buy them a new car.

Many jobs, many crises

As commander in chief, economist in chief, diplomat in chief and figurehead in chief, the president has a job description nearly as long as the tax code. He is in the Situation Room one night, holding a state dinner in a South Lawn tent the next -- and pardoning a turkey in the Rose Garden the following morning. His portfolio of responsibilities covers much of the planet; no president has seen so many countries so fast. But critics are not satisfied. The reaction to his recent trip to Asia was, in effect, that he went all the way to China and came back with only a lousy T-shirt.

You know folks, this is complete BS as well. You want that ACTUAL Job description of a President?

“Article II" Of the US Constitution

Section 1.

The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Section 2.

The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.

Section 3.

He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.

Section 4.

The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.''

Yeah I know this was just an excuse. He's a busy guy. Don't give him to much of a hard time. He's busy. Being the President is hard work. Problem is though,

"Economist in chief," Not in his Job Description
"Diplomat in chief" Not in his Job Description
"Figurehead in chief" Most DEFINITELY not in his Job Description
"The president has a job description nearly as long as the tax code." No. I just posted it.
"He is in the Situation Room one night," Because he is to much of a COWARD to make an EASY decision.
"holding a state dinner in a South Lawn tent the next" Yeah where he insulted India
"and pardoning a turkey in the Rose Garden the following morning." Cute, but started by Bush the first and NOT in the Constitution. Just a corky, fun, tradition.
"His portfolio of responsibilities covers much of the planet;" No, not really.
"No president has seen so many countries so fast." No President has ever gone around APOLOGIZING for America as much as Obama has either. THAT does not make it right.
"But critics are not satisfied. The reaction to his recent trip to Asia was, in effect, that he went all the way to China and came back with only a lousy T-shirt." He accomplished NOTHING. Can you point to SOMETHING? ANYTHING? that he can say he accomplished? {Crickets chirping}

OK I'm done with this Boot Licking dribble. Click the link if you want to read on. Thank you for pointing this out to me. Truth is though, all this attempt to make Obama look smart, by stupiditly wasting time while our Men and Women are DYING crying out for help in the midst of a WAR does, is show the mentality of the Obamaid drinkers themselves. It's NOT a tough decision to make. We are fighting a War, we are LOSING. Our Soldiers are being killed, they are crying out to our Commander and Chief to send HELP. You SEND HELP! Obama is partying, playing President, and attempting to stall so he does not lose support for his insane domestic agenda. But since we already know Obama is not a Man, we can expect non-the more. Sorry, but no amount of Book Licking can change the facts, that the blood of 105 of our Soldier have stained Obama's hands.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving

Hey folks,

I have a lot to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my family. My Mother for giving birth to me. My Wife who takes good care of me. My Son. Of whom I again can see the world through the eyes of a Child. A World of Magic and Miracles. Innocent and pure.

I am thankful for my Job, in a time so many are struggling to find one.

I am thankful for my home, in a time when so many can not get one of their own, or are in the process of losing theirs.

I am thankful for being born an American. Born into the greatest country on Earth. Thankful for our Freedoms.

The Freedom to be whatever I chose to be. In a land where our Poor, have homes, cars, cell phones. On Average two TVs, Computers, and a means to an education. In a World who's poor live in huts, with no toilets, running water, or electric.

The Freedom to speak out against our Leader's Policies, without fear of punishment and death.

The Freedom to DREAM, and the ABILITY to achieve that dream.

The Freedom to believe. To practice whatever Faith I believe in, anytime and anywhere I chose.

I am thankful for the Men and Women, who stand up, leave their Families, and put their dreams on hold, to take an oath, to defend those Freedoms. Those that understand that Freedom is NEVER given freely. It is ALWAYS taken and defended by force. Those that are willing to pay the ultimate price, including the laying down of their own lives, for that freedom.

But most importantly, I am thankful to God, for Life itself. For without that, we would have NOTHING.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you have a happy and healthy Holiday. Just remember, even those with the least, have MUCH to be thankful for.

Nail in The Cap and Tax Coffin?

It should be.

Hey folks,

Happy Tuesday to you. Time to check in From the Energy Front. Yes. The Science is settled. There is a Consensus. The debate is over. We are killing the planet, and YOU are evil.

Manipulation of evidence:

I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.

Private doubts about whether the world really is heating up:

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.

Suppression of evidence:

Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4?

Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family crisis.

Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don’t have his new email address.

We will be getting Caspar to do likewise.

Fantasies of violence against prominent Climate Sceptic scientists:

Next
time I see Pat Michaels at a scientific meeting, I’ll be tempted to beat
the crap out of him. Very tempted.

Attempts to disguise the inconvenient truth of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP):

……Phil and I have recently submitted a paper using about a dozen NH records that fit this category, and many of which are available nearly 2K back–I think that trying to adopt a timeframe of 2K, rather than the usual 1K, addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to “contain” the putative “MWP”, even if we don’t yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far back….

And, perhaps most reprehensibly, a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process. How, in other words, to create a scientific climate in which anyone who disagrees with AGW can be written off as a crank, whose views do not have a scrap of authority.

“This was the danger of always criticising the skeptics for not publishing in the “peer-reviewed literature”. Obviously, they found a solution to that–take over a journal! So what do we do about this? I think we have to stop considering “Climate Research” as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…What do others think?”

“I will be emailing the journal to tell them I’m having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor.”“It results from this journal having a number of editors. The responsible one for this is a well-known skeptic in NZ. He has let a few papers through by Michaels and Gray in the past. I’ve had words with Hans von Storch about this, but got nowhere. Another thing to discuss in Nice !”

These are from those pesky Private Emails form those claiming GW is anything more than BS. You know, the whole bases for Cap and Tax? The whole bases for the Government to come in and start regulating your life. The whole Bases for Al Gore to make more Millions, while YOU have to live in a tent and ride a bike to work. The whole bases for our President to give up our Sovereignty to the UN and join the One World Government. The whole bases of the new and growing Green Industry. IT'S A SCAM!!!

He folks, I do not have time to go over everything that I have told you for YEARS. The evidence is clear. THERE IS NO MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING!!! From the fact we haven't "Warmed" in over a decade, to the Polar Bears exploding in record numbers. From the fact the ICE is NOT melting and the sea is not rising, to the Caribou are mating in record numbers by the Alaskan Pipeline. From Al Gore using a clip from the Sci-Fi, "Day After Tomorrow" movie in his movie about man destroying the planet, to and including the fact, this is ALL MADE UP.

But those computer models? Garbage in, garbage out. I have talked about that as well. I could get a computer to tell us the probable out come of an Asteroid hitting San Fransisco, and it will seems dire. Problem is, THERE IS NOT ASTEROID! You get the point.

We have talked about how devastating Cap and Tax would be. The Poor and Middle Class will be hit the hardest. The Rich? They can afford to play the game and buy the scam that is Carbon Credits. YOU? You better get ready to chose if you will buy gas, or food.

Check the archives here. Just type in Global Warming, Climate Change, or GWBS, and you will see that EVERYTHING that I have been telling you for YEARS, including the Psychology of Brain Washing you into thinking "Green"

The new group is about to launch the most ambitious U.S. marketing campaign ever on climate change, at a cost of more than $100 million a year for three years, to focus on the urgency of the problem and solutions.

The need for a different approach is apparent, environmentalists say.

"We've come up against a brick wall with Americans," says Lee Bodner, executive director of ecoAmerica, an environmental group based in Washington, D.C. Despite Americans' widespread familiarity with global warming, "only a small group are changing their behavior."

There's little research on how to lower people's energy use, but early evidence suggests that many people will change if:

• They think others similar to themselves are jumping on the "green" bandwagon.

• They get frequent positive feedback for effort.

• They feel able to make a difference by taking concrete steps.

• They think their children will be harmed by global warming, or children encourage the family to lead a greener life.

They are telling you what they are doing.

This is the very definition of Scaryence. Scare Science. "Don't forget, if all else fails, the KIDS. Bring up the kids."

Though research about green behavior is sparse, there's strong evidence on what sparks behavior change in general. "We just haven't applied it to global warming the way we have to public health issues like smoking and cholesterol," says Douglas McKenzie-Mohr, environmental psychologist in Fredericton, Ontario.

Fact-jammed books — appeals often used by global warming activists — and terrifying threats about the future that don't offer solutions won't motivate many people and may even backfire, says Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale University Project on Climate Change. The more people are inundated with facts and figures, the more emotionally turned off many become, "and you have to have an emotional response — bad or good — to put a high priority on doing something."

They are not even trying to hide this anymore folks. He just SAID it. "and you have to have an emotional response — bad or good — to put a high priority on doing something."

Forget the SCIENCE, or in this case, the LACK of, make them FEEL. Unbelievable. The absolute arrogance of this.

So will this new revelation of the fact that these Idiots were Emailing each other on how to deceive the public and make them THINK that we are all going to die, going to be the nail in the Coffin of Cap and Tax? It SHOULD be. At the very least, more people are going to wake up.

You can aid us in this fight by simply putting a banner or link up for us, making our site available to your vast public. I have included the code for the banner within this email showing you exactly what this banner will look like. Thank you for your time, effort, and work you have done, we look forward to any thoughts you may have.

Well thank you Kia Ren.

I have checked out their site, and just like Fluwiki.com, they have fast resources in dealing with health and disease. I do HIGHLY recommend that you take a few minutes and check them out. That's Pathology.org.

Now I have been thinking about this. Seems that I'm getting quite a few Emails from different health organizations and others out there, want to share with YOU, the information that they have coming directly from the experts. The REAL Experts. Since you know that:

A- I love Science.
B- I love helping to Educate people, including myself, on matters of sickness and Disease.
C- ALWAYS say, if you want answers, ACCURATE and USEFUL Information, go DIRECTLY to the source.
D- Believe in these sites.

I have no problem posting the Banners. However, I'm starting to feel that I should post a bit of a disclaimer here. So here it is.

The thoughts and comments of the OPNTalk Blog, do not necessarily represent the thoughts and opinions of Fluwiki.com or Pathology.org. The views expressed here are MINE. I am in no way related to, nor do I speak for, anyone outside of the OPNTalk Blog. My opinions here, are, well always right {Smile} and you should agree with me. However, you have the freedom to disagree.

I will be posting these banners on the Daily Article for about a week. Then I will post them anytime I talk about Health, Science, ETC. I do not know what political views they have, Religious, ETC. I do not want to give the illusion that they agree with a certain point of view that I am expressing. So I will stick to the Health stuff to display the Banners.

Thank you again Kia Ren.

Be right back.

IWA For Sunday 112209

Oh, and of course the Healthcare debate, uh, to debate, passed 60-39 Vote, as expected. On with the show in the Senate. It's FAR from over folks, FAR from over. Of course the LWL, Left Wing Loons, will herald this as a major Victory, but really it's nothing more than permission to duke it out. Let them know, a Vote FOR Obamacare, will be, without a doubt, a Vote OUT of the Senate in 2010.

Meanwhile over in Iran,

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran's military said it will begin large-scale air defense drills on Sunday, and a cleric in the Revolutionary Guards warned that the Islamic Republic would fire missiles at "the heart of Tel Aviv" if attacked.

The war games, due to last five days, are intended to help protect Iran's nuclear facilities, Iranian media reported, citing Brigadier General Ahmad Mighani

IBD Has It Right, The Day Global Warming Stood Still

So does Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe

Hey folks,

I really do not have much to add to this one. This is great all by itself. Here it is.

Investor's Business Daily - The Day Global Warming Stood Still
Posted 11/20/2009 07:46 PM ET

Climate Change: As scientists confirm the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade, others wonder how this could be and what it means for Copenhagen. Maybe Al Gore can Photoshop something before December.

{Laughing}

It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.

The collapse of the talks coupled with the decision by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put off the Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill, the Senate's version of Waxman-Markey, until the spring thaw has led Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the leading Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, to declare victory over Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the triumph of observable fact over junk science.

"I proudly declare 2009 as the 'Year of the Skeptic,' the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard," Inhofe said to Boxer in a Senate speech. "Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked."

Amen!

Inhofe added: "Today I have been vindicated."

The Ada (Oklahoma) Evening News quotes Inhofe: "So when Barbara Boxer, John Kerry and all the left get up there and say, 'Yes. We're going to pass a global warming bill,' I will be able to stand up and say, 'No, it's over. Get a life. You lost. I won,'" Inhofe said.

Now we have the German publication Der Spiegel, which is rapidly becoming the house organ for climate hysteria, weighing in again with the sad news that the earth does not have a fever so we really don't have to throw out the baby with the rising bath water.

The World is waking up folks.

In an article titled, "Climatologists Baffled By Global Warming Time-Out," author Gerald Traufetter leads off with the observation: "Climatologists are baffled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years." They better figure it out, Der Spiegel warns, because "billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations."

Power, Control, and of course, all that money. That has ALWAYS been what all this is about.

We are told in sad tones that "not much is happening with global warming at the moment" and that "it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year." But how can it be that the earth isn't following all those computer models? Is the earth goddess Gaia herself a climate change "denier"?

Folks, THIS nailed it. This is all the stuff I've been telling you for YEARS. Now the World is starting to wake up and look around. It is amazing what happens when people start paying attention, and thinking for themselves, instead of just blindly following whatever they are told.

The Poor and Middle Class ALWAYS Get Hit The Hardest

Just the truth.

Hey folks,

You know, every time Libs talk about raising Taxes, they engage in Class Warfare. They come right out and lie to you, right to your face. They always talk about how YOU, the Poor and Middle Class will not have to pay more, but only the evil super rich will. Only those Evil Mega Corporations will be effected. They make to much money anyway. But do not worry, it will not effect YOU.

That is always assine on it face. ALWAYS. Corporations do not pay tax. YOU do. Let's see if I can explain this to you better. Wal-Mart. You go into Wal-Mart and pay $4.00 for an item. The Government comes along and slaps Wal-Mart with an insane and inaccurate "Windfall Profit Tax." Along with fines and regulation costs. Now you go into Wal-Mart and buy the same item which NOW costs you $10.00.

Look at Gas. It actually costs UNDER $1.50 a gallon. The rest is Tax. Both State and Federal. If they succeed in passing Cap and Tax, watch Gas and Home Energy costs to "SKYROCKET." Who will be most effected by this? The Poor and Middle Class. Why, they can not afford it NOW.

DO you really think that the Millionaires in Congress care what a Gallon of Milk costs? Do you even think that they KNOW? They don't care. But the Single Mom working two jobs does. What about this? According to Sphere - 10 States Where the Poor Pay the Most Unfair Share of Taxes

(Nov. 19) -- The tax code is unfair and it's the poor and the middle class who are getting the raw end of the deal.

Those are some of the conclusions of a new study released by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a nonpartisan research group. The report found that after itemized deductions, the richest 1 percent of Americans pay taxes at an average rate of 5.2 percent of their income. Middle-class residents, on average, pay taxes at a rate of 9.4 percent, and the poorest 20 percent pay at a rate of 10.9 percent.

"In effect, what we have is an upside-down system in which the more you earn, the less you pay in taxes," said Matthew Gardner, executive director of ITEP and the principal author of the study. "I don't think anyone would intentionally set out to design a tax code that way."

According to Gardner's findings, the 10 states where "regressive" taxation most significantly tilts in favor of the rich are Washington, Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Alabama.

In Washington, for instance, the poorest 20 percent of residents pay taxes at a rate nearly six times higher than those of the state's richest 1 percent.

Vermont, Delaware and New York, meanwhile, are states with relatively flat, fair tax practices, the study found.

The study's goal was to try to inform future tax policy by creating an understanding of how differing state approaches benefited varying income levels, Gardner said.

"We want to shed light on how tax systems work and help provide a benchmark for judging the current systems," he said, though he stressed that ITEP was not making any specific policy recommendations.

The study's figures were calculated by analyzing the three most common forms of taxes: income, property and sales. In general, the report found that income taxes tend to be fairer than property or sales taxes because they graduate depending on salary. Sales taxes, on the other hand, tend to disproportionately target the poor and lower-middle class, because over time those fixed costs account for a much higher percentage of wages than they do for the well-off.

The report comes at a time when cities and states across the country are enacting a host of new taxes and surcharges to try to cover budgetary shortfalls brought on by the recession. In New York, Gov. David Patterson has proposed an "iPod tax" that would add a surcharge on every music download. In California and Pennsylvania, tuition hikes at state colleges and universities are being implemented. Oregon is debating whether to raise income taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

Which we just discussed will increase the hardships on the Poor.

On the federal level, raising taxes remains a taboo subject, but Congress has moved to close tax loopholes for offshore accounts in the hopes of recouping billions of dollars in potential revenue.

Amid this backdrop, Gardner said he hopes his study will help illustrate who is bearing the largest tax burden in the country. "The answer for just about every state," Gardner said, "is the poor and the lower to middle classes."

Yes. It will be the Poor and Middle Class that are hurt the most with ANY increase and new Taxes. I have ALWAYS been a proponent of the Flat Tax System. Plain and simple, you make a Million, and you Pay 35 percent of that in Tax. You make $20,000, you pay 35 percent of THAT in Tax. You are paying the same amount in Tax, which makes it fair for all.

Now if we CUT Capital Gains Taxes, giving an incentive to create more, hire more, and sell more, it will lower costs, and create a jump-start this Economy needs. If we CUT sales tax to a reasonable level, people will BUY MORE. Hence, jump-start the Economy again.

It is really easy to understand. If you sell something for $10.00 and you sell 10 of them, you make $100.00. You sell the same thing for $4.00, yet you sell 100 of them, you make $400.00 dollars. More people will buy from you, if the price is cheap. Same thing with Taxes and the Economy. If the Tax code is reasonable, more people will simply pay it. If it becomes oppressive, more people will work hard at AVOIDING paying. Fire Employees, and become less productive.

So the next time you hear a Politician say, they are going to tax the Rich, just understand what they are telling you is this. YOUR Taxes and Costs of Living are about to go up. It really is just that simple.

Vegetarians Using Global Warming to Convert

EVERYONE is using GWBS these days.

Hey folks,

In the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" Category, we now have Vegetarians telling you that if you want to save the planet, DON'T EAT Beef. Yup. According to AFP - Shun beef to stop climate change, says India

NEW DELHI (AFP) – India, a stronghold of vegetarianism where the cow is a sacred animal for the majority Hindu population, has urged the rest of the world to give up eating beef to help reduce global warming.

"The single most important cause of (carbon) emissions is eating beef," Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said during a speech on Thursday, his office told AFP.

{Laughing} Really? Says him.

"My formula is stop eating beef. This would stop the emission of methane," said the vegetarian minister.

HOW? Will the Cows not still fart? Have you, and I have, eaten some Vegetarian meals made with Beans? Trust me, that produces Methane more than when I eat a good steak.

Ramesh, who recently made headlines for disputing international research suggesting glaciers in the Himalayas are melting, made the remarks on Thursday at the launch of a UN report on world population in New Delhi.

Meat eating is common in India, albeit in smaller quantities than in Western countries. However, the vast majority of India's Hindus shun beef and the sizeable Muslim minority do not eat pork.

Non-meat eaters help in "climate mitigation", Ramesh said.

In 2008, Rajendra Pachauri, who chairs the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, also suggested that people should cut their meat consumption to help combat climate change.

His study found meat production accounts for a fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions.

So I have a question. If we did not eat them, would there not be more OF them. That would be an increase in farts. Would it not? Then you have everyone turning to beans. Again, that would be an increase in farts amongst Humans. Would it not? The only way to keep the number of "meat" be they Cows, Chickens, Buffalo, Horses, Turkeys, or whatever, would be to KILL them. Right? But if the Cow is Sacred, would killing it be considered a Sin? What would you do with all the byproducts? It's all so confusing.

Folks, GW is BS. We all know this. But I thought that this guys take on it was pretty funny. Save the Cows, EAT Steak, Hamburgers, or whatever else you fancy. A lot of Cows would not be around if it were NOT for their beef.

All kidding aside folks. Eat whatever you want. I do. If you chose a Vegetarian Lifestyle for Religious or any other reason, do it. It works for my Wife. I even enjoy a good Veggie meal myself once in a blue moon. But do not use a SCAM to attempt to FORCE me into doing what you do. Especially if there is no Logic or REAL Science behind it.
