EPISCOPAL HEAVEN
Saturday, March 28th, 2009 | Uncategorized
Let’s see. I’ve got a decent knife but I’ll probably need a better one. And a throwing knife. Oh, and an axe. And probably a hatchet.
A gun? Probably not. Be nice to have but ammo costs money and I don’t expect to have any of that much longer so I guess I’ll go the bow-and-arrow route since you can reuse arrows.
Shelter and firewood shouldn’t be too much of a problem and there’s enough deer around here to keep me going for some time. I’ll have to learn how to butcher ‘em but that shouldn’t take too long. And there’s always fishing. And picking berries and wild onions and whatnot.
Yeah, I think I can make it work:
A United Nations document on “climate change” that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies, and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes — all under the supervision of the world body.
Those and other results are blandly discussed in a discretely worded United Nations “information note” on potential consequences of the measures that industrialized countries will likely have to take to implement the Copenhagen Accord, the successor to the Kyoto Treaty, after it is negotiated and signed by December 2009. The Obama administration has said it supports the treaty process if, in the words of a U.S. State Department spokesman, it can come up with an “effective framework” for dealing with global warming.
Among the tools that are considered are the cap-and-trade system for controlling carbon emissions that has been espoused by the Obama administration; “carbon taxes” on imported fuels and energy-intensive goods and industries, including airline transportation; and lower subsidies for those same goods, as well as new or higher subsidies for goods that are considered “environmentally sound.”
Other tools are referred to only vaguely, including “energy policy reform,” which the report indicates could affect “large-scale transportation infrastructure such as roads, rail and airports.” When it comes to the results of such reform, the note says only that it could have “positive consequences for alternative transportation providers and producers of alternative fuels.”
In the same bland manner, the note informs negotiators without going into details that cap-and-trade schemes “may induce some industrial relocation” to “less regulated host countries.” Cap-and-trade functions by creating decreasing numbers of pollution-emission permits to be traded by industrial users, and thus pay more for each unit of carbon-based pollution, a market-driven system that aims to drive manufacturers toward less polluting technologies.
The note adds only that industrial relocation “would involve negative consequences for the implementing country, which loses employment and investment.” But at the same time it “would involve indeterminate consequences for the countries that would host the relocated industries.”
No problem. No problem at all. What the heck, everybody’s going to die some time. And I have to think that it’s way better to cash in your stack on your feet rather than on your knees.

That drivel reads like the latest manifesto from the Politburo published in Pravada back in the good old days when Lenin’s heirs held sway. Also reads like exactly what George Orwell warned us about. Starts with a false assumption and goes on from there. Regulation Hell is what it is. Note – either get a ball of string and a couple safety pins for the fishing or secure one of them there “pocket fishermen.” Good luck!” You’re gonna need it. Apparently, we ALL are!

Change you can believe in. Change to the new dark ages. I live in the upper midwest. I’ll pay 40% more for gas and electricity if the Obama-bots get their way.

Good place to start: http://www.coldsteel.com/

This ain’t Hell, but you can see it from here.
And don’t forget to dig a well. I just heard that in 2012 we are in for major solar flares that will knock out the electricity grid and we’re all going to die.
Just in case the Un and Obama weren’t enough to keep you up at night…..

OK, I’m working on a metaphor for this. Let me know if I am stretching too far.
A bunch of clams are sitting around their sandbar discussing how the sand is getting wetter as the tide comes in.
A scientist in the group notes “Every time we eat, we squirt out water, and thus make the sand wetter.”
“Aha,” says the environmental activist, “we are causing this increased wetness. I know that the tide has been coming and going from time immemorial, but this time it is our fault. We must reduce our food consumption to keep the sand dry.”
“But,” says a little clam, “then we will all suffer.”
“Yes,” says the activist, “but our suffering will have meaning because we will stop the tide from coming in.”

Geez, guys, I did all this crap when I was a summer camp counselor at these very gung-ho girls’ camps. We did the Junior Maine Guide thing where we’d go on three day wilderness canoeing trips and make sassafras tea from bark and stuff.
And let me tell you I have evolved way beyond that.
My idea of the perfest afternon is when the waiter comes along and asks ‘Would madam like a drink poolside?’
Yes madam would.

Who gives this ‘global body’ authority over the US Constitution?
Whose trillions are going to be re-distributed globally?
Who get’s the trillions?
Who oversees this distribution?
Sounds like a really big heist to me.
March 28, 2009
RW has also been spouting off about a global distribution of goods and services, etc.

I would have commented earlier, but I was out clubbing baby seals and burning old rubber tires all day. Hope you all are having a great weekend.

How do they go from global (anthropogenic) warming to this cap-setting process – in which nearly all the caps seem arbitrarily set and some countries have extrememly high caps. How does shifting the origin of pollution reduce the aggregate? This is like a shell game – they’re hoping you lose sight of the fact that they’re just re-distributing wealth (mostly our hard-earned wealth.)

Now the plan to clone a Mastadon begins to make sense.
This is just a way for the UN to gain mastery over all world governments. There is an agenda behind all this nonsense. It is bad science contributing to bad economics and really awful government. All the “statists” in the world are behind this nefarious scheme to enslave us all.
That President Obama is just peachy keen on the idea is an ominous sign for the US economy. Hopefully the voters will have enough sense to start reversing the trend in 2010 and finish the job in 2012.
This is very dangerous stuff.

Who get’s the trillions? Such a grandiose scheme will have to be implemented by highly educated global politicians. They must be compensated adequately. Chevy may go bankrupt, but Bentley will still have a market.
March 29, 2009
JM:
“Chevy may go bankrupt, but Bentley will still have a market.”
I think that is the basic idea.

Lately I have been playing a simple game with my computer. I make a file. Name it Barak Obama. Then I hit the X. My computer will ask me “Delete Barak Obama?” I then affirm and push enter. Doesn’t do any practical good. It does make me feel better, though.
The Episcopal idea of heaven seems to be SWPL heaven – essentially Sweden – but with their version of church. None of the Wrong Kind of White People and none of the superstitions of the ethnics, who’ve been domesticated.
This is just another example of that class trying to order us around.

Check out this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/magazine/29Dyson-t.html?_r=1) for a politically incorrect take on global warming by one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century. Since he has liberally correct political credentials in other areas, this might cause cognitive dissonance for Al Gore, et. al.; but then again, never underestimate the left’s capacity for shouting down anyone who disagrees with them
