Haven’t seen this here before – NWO’s insights on how to manipulate the masses politically
http://www.worldforum.org/new-political-compass.htm
It seems the educational experiment (refer to Yuri Bezmenov’s interviews that Kate posted earlier, outlining Soviet efforts to undermine the west) is working according to plan:
“• The new data shows that a significant majority of American adults and youth now express liberal or progressive values (53%).”
The scare tactics and bashing of all who don’t conform to the AGW propaganda is working. too:
“• The survey also shows that 70%-80% of the American public as a whole support strong action to deal with global warming. The public wants decisive action now from both business and government, and people are prepared to engage with the issue themselves.”
Now to exploit these for political power:
“• This polling indicates that creating an alliance between progressive values and green politics could be a winning strategy for this election.”
And of course it is associated with Ted (cut the population back) Turner our very own Maurice (duty to ruin western civilization)Strong:
“The first State of the World Forum was convened in 1995 by Mikhail Gorbachev and fellow Co-Chairs Oscar Arias, Ruud Lubbers, Thabo Mbeke, George Schultz, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Maurice Strong and Ted Turner.”
And to top it all off, our own CIDA is one of the sponsors. Your tax dollars at work.
This was sent me by a friend who has a business acquaintance in the US who is really pissed off.
“Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s home district includes San Francisco.
Star-Kist Tuna’s headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi’s home district.
Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.
Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan work force.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy’s husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition’s.
Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an ‘economic development credit in American Samoa ‘.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration “CORRUPT” ? ?
How do you spell “HYPOCRISY” ?
Her new idea on tax shortages…she wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income
Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you’re so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That’s what the Speaker of the House is saying.
Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this.
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is true – all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening.
She quotes…’ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.’ ( I am not rich, are you)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
‘We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘Americans’.’ (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. ‘Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it’. ”

The Untied States of America: Polarization, Fracturing, and Our Future (Kindle Edition)- book by Juan Enriquez
Amazon.com Review
Will America always fly the Stars and Stripes? Will its borders be the same in 50 years? It may sound crazy, but the answers to those questions are less certain than most Americans probably think. History shows flags and borders change frequently. Countries are like marriages–they fall apart all the time. Three-quarters of the countries in the United Nations were not there 50 years ago. In his book The Untied States of America, Juan Enriquez chucks out conventional wisdom and says the U.S. may not be immune to mounting global forces of national dissolution. He argues that Americans should get ready now for a messy, secession-driven future.
Enriquez is a former Mexican government official and fellow at Harvard’s Center for International Affairs. He says growing political, racial, and economic divisions in the U.S. could provoke secessionist movements in the South and New England. It has happened before. Enriquez points to the Philippines, which gained independence from the U.S. in 1946. In Texas, he writes, 42 percent of people support secession and a confederation with the U.S. Unfortunately, while Enriquez addresses an important topic, his writing style is sensationalistic and plays loose with some facts. (For example, he claims that the Canadian province of Quebec bans toys that use a language other than French–not true–and that 94 percent of Quebec voters rejected independence for the province in a 1995 referendum; the correct number is 51 percent.) Enriquez also employs a distracting and jarring presentation style: He rarely writes a paragraph longer than one sentence, and each page is a cacophony of bolded and capitalized words and varying font sizes, a provocative choice that in this case comes off as strange and amateurish. –Alex Roslin
From Publishers Weekly
American history, both distant and recent, is troubled with violence and schisms that constantly threaten the foundations of the country. The country has endured a civil war, two world wars, slavery, genocide and now, of course, the raging battle between the red and blue states. Are we on the brink of dissolution? That’s the question Enriquez poses in this fact-filled, statistic-laden book. For more than 200 pages, Enriquez, the founding director of the Life Sciences Project at Harvard Business School, gives readers as many reasons as he can for why America may be headed toward an un-united future. On occasion this means glossing over pesky details and relying on simple generalizations, such as lumping together various quotes about the deficit and social security to maximize the sense of impending doom. Enriquez skips from topic to topic, relying on the fractured narrative layout (perhaps deliberately reminiscent of essayist Paul Metcalf’s work) to heighten the book’s sense of urgency. The facts, dates and numbers he presents are undoubtedly interesting, but in the end they don’t add up to much. What’s lacking is the complexity and depth that come with focused, developed arguments, the kind that provide a meaningful context for statistical information.
dave – I don’t understand why the 12 million illegal immigrants ‘need the US taxpayer’s help’.
I also don’t understand why income should be equalized. Are you sure she said this? It’s insane; why should someone working at Macdonalds get the same income as a heart surgeon?
Also, to assert a desire to ‘limit the amount the rich can invest’ is equally senseless. After all, the investments of the rich are the basis of economic development; they operate the foundations that fund science research etc. Again, are you sure she said this? It’s an insane comment.
And since when is a ‘standard of living’ a ‘right’?
From what I can find out, this Windfall Tax suggestion is an ‘urban myth’; in other words, it’s not true. Google it.
ET, I will check out the statements behind my friend’s email to verify their accuracy.
My friend has a small industrial business here and worked in Florida for 6 years and still has contacts and a business partner there. So many of his friends down there and business acquaintances are just devastated by what is happening. They are watching, as my sister-inlaws relatives in California are, the crumbling of their society and they are angry with elitists like Pelosi.
The CBC’s Susan Bonner owes an apology to all Canadians!
dave, it isn’t just Pelosi who is an elitist, but the Liberal and Democratic political parties are structured as a two-leveled system. There’s the elites who govern, and the people who are governed. No middle class.
The elites set themselves up a Ultimate Authorities; they do this by financial and political power (cronyism, networks..notice how many of Obama’s team were tax-dodgers). They do this by attributing special qualities to themselves. Obama links himself to Lincoln; Ignatieff links himself to his Russian nobility.
The system of the Liberals/Democrats operates in a way where they tax everyone, and tax the rich the most, and redistribute this money to ‘even’ out the income. So, those who work hard support those who work less hard.
The Republicans/Conservatives operate with a three-leveled structure. The largest portion is the middle class who move into/out of this class by merit and hard work. This class is politically and economically empowered, while in the Liberal and Democrat system, there is no middle class and the elites hold power – as long as they can, and particularly, by ignoring the electorate.
The upper class in this three-leveled system is ‘mythic’. In the US, it’s their heroic presidents, their generals, their heroes. Unfortunately in Canada we haven’t developed this mythic class and are the weaker for its lack.
By the way, there’s an interesting debate on Hot Air, which is pointing out Obama’s ‘flip flop’ on NAFTA. A year ago during the campaign he was adamantly opposed to NAFTA and wanted it renegotiated; now, he’s all soft and in favour of it. What will he be like tomorrow? Can he be trusted? Remember, as an extreme narcissist, Obama’s agenda is always on himself and his power to ‘make people focus on him’.

Erik Larsen: “I’m sure a complaint to an ombudsman, such as the individual at the CBC, would result in a pleasant letter back, but what are the ‘results’ of these complaints?”
Robert W: “I’ve now formally complained to the CBC twice. A complete waste of time.”
I’ve been complaining to the CBC through “official channels” for almost 30 years. Yup: “pleasant letter[s] back” and “a complete waste of time.”
In almost 30 years, I’ve seen no improvement in the CBC’s coverage of things political: Their coverage is as pro-l/Liberal/anti-c/Conservative as it’s ever been.
A few years ago, the CBC Ombudsman Vince Carlin phoned me at my home. He said my complaint (‘can’t remember the issue) was one of the “more articulate” ones that he had received and that he wanted to touch base with me. I appreciated his call and, again, I reiterated my concerns with the CBC’s imbalanced and biased coverage of political issues.
He actually shared some personal information with me which included that he was American (New York, I believe), that he had worked as a journalist at the CBC, that he had then moved on to the Department of Journalism at Ryerson, and after nine years there, had been invited back to the CBC to be their Ombudsman.
Mr. Carlin seemed a thoroughly decent and pleasant man. However, isn’t it a conflict of interest to have been an employee of the CBC and, nine years later, to have been “invited” back to be their Ombudsman? How can he possibly be impartial in his judgments?
In fact, he hasn’t been impartial in his judgments. He admits journalistic failures and indiscretions on the part of CBC employees — e.g., Julie Van Dusen and Ms. Erikson — but there are no permanent repercussions or consequences for Van Dusen, Erikson, or ANY CBC journalist. They continue to get full pay by Mother Corp[se] and are, eventually, restored to full status at the CBC and to full view of the Canadian taxpayers who are paying their inflated salaries.
As I said somewhere else, who will rid me of this meddlesome MSM (or, as my husband just said, “the new priest[hood])? (Check out Henry and Thomas a Beckett …)
Check out Henry II and Thomas a Beckett re the “who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?” quote.

“NY Times Feeds Into Notion that Republican Opposition to Stimulus Bill is Racist
South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn appeared on WIS-TV yesterday in a round table setting to discuss how the stimulus bill will affect South Carolina. During the debate he stated that he was insulted by opposition to the plan; specifically targeting GOP Governors of Southern States by implying that their opposition was a “slap in the face of African-Americans” as if race was a determining factor.
Rather than actually quote Congressman Clyburn on these claims the NY Times chose to demagogue the issue by providing their own rationale in a caucus blog post that appears designed to embarrass South Carolina’s Republican Governor Mark Sanford.”

20 02 2009
You may recall that I posted about how the National Snow and Ice Data Center has an issue with the DMSP satellite sensor channel used to detect sea ice. Cryosphere Today is a few days behind in update compared to NSIDC, and here is what their imagery now looks like before and after.”
Commenter: “Mark J (15:31:44):
*AL Gore says sea ice will disappear in 5 years. Now we know how!
It is imperative that this data is corrected and maintained accurately. So much media attention is paid to melting sea ice. This is one of the major emotional drivers that sway many in the public over to the Anthropo Global Warming camp. It’s an easy one for the media to grab. Honest and expedient sea ice information is not only suggested…it is REQUIRED.”

You all talk a good game here among friends, but when I post a link where you can go and actually confront the skulls full of mush – and I am talking about simple headed teenagers who are being programmed by media – on their misguided belief in AGW I get a big fat no show.
The hell with all of you posers.
batb @5:07 PM – Excellent commentary as usual. WRT “…indiscretions on the part of CBC employees–e.g., Julie Van Dusen and Ms. Erikson–but there are no permanent repercussions or consequences for Van Dusen, Erikson….”
I’ve often been critical of Van Douchebag’s over the top bias and leftoid ‘journalism’, but I can’t recall the occasions re your specific reference of these two.
Can you enlighten? Thx

re Julie Van Doesn’t:
Heck, pick any one of her tirades over the years. When she opined on the CBC, however, that CPC Cabinet Minister David Emerson should have got “his tush” over to a media scrum — like, how DARE he not show up? — there were a lot of complaints to the CBC about her injudicious use of words and Vince Carlin admitted that she could have been more professional, or words to that effect.
If you find a link, I’d be happy to know!
