This just in, I’m blogging from a public terminal at a hospital, more later:

Yes., Van Rompuy must be very disappointed.

Wow. The Grauniad must have a dilemma!
To attack the US or to support the AGW scam?
Their two favourite missions in conflict.
We’ve got folks of integrity all over this globe. Some may be a bit ‘slower’ than others
in seeing Truth, but ~ they’re friends, nonetheless.
So many of us have become ‘watchmen’ by what appears to be coincidence ~ but, also understand that there is NO SUCH THING as that word.
To put my ‘faith’ where my typing fingers are, too, Anthony. I’m getting on my knees
right now for you and your family and I don’t even know what’s going on, but God assuredly does… I’m off to lift you and your family up.

These articles show that the less developed countries are using GHG as a shakedown operation, and that the Obama administration was falling all over itself to browbeat them into taking money to go along with a plan to give them more money.
The country is in the best of hands.
Amen, Quinn. Well said.
C.L. Thorpe
I really do wish you and your family well Anthony.
You may not come back to us with bad news!
Does anyone wonder whether the EU cartel on carbon emissions matters in reality?
John
Yes Quinn,
[Coalsoffire, +1. Thanks! ~dbs]
“I’m blogging from a public terminal at a hospital”
Anthony your dedication is remarkable, and I thank you for it! You and your site have made a real difference.
The “shakedown” mentioned by Quinn the Eskimo above has always been pretty obvious but these leaked emails just make that clear – rather like what the Climategate emails did.
Not as well explained is that the UN et al are part of it, facilitating it, and that global multinationals are the ones which will benefit the most.
Interesting in the first link, the Guardian, always a source of unimpeachable truth, maintains the mantra of the US being the ‘world’s largest polluter’ even though China has now become #1.
Hope all goes well where you are.
“Through the Looking Glass”
Our formerly first-rate nation is seeking ways to shovel money we don’t have to eco-shakedown artists in the name of “solving” a non-problem, all the while enriching CO2 speculators.
This is insanity, but at least some of it is being exposed.
Assange is a self-serving twit and his distribution of leaked cables has done great harm to America – but has also inadvertently cast a bright light on greencrap diplomacy.
Here’s to the death of CON-cun international agreements. When the thieves can’t trust each other to tell the same lies, there’s a chance that truth will prevail.
Can anyone copy these cables and post them in full here? I cannot ever get on the UK Guardian and Wikileaks is moving around shifting sand. Or can these cables be found elsewhere? Thanks
“The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming;…………”
==================
Careful, who would oppose free money.
Let’s not walk into a trap.
…GREAT FILM CLIP…now……..since I’ve only enjoyed ‘So Dear to My Heart’ and ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’………can someone fill me in on where this comes
from???
ps ~ a few years ago, when Ian and I drove my Aussie parents-in-law around 10,000 miles to ‘see the U.S.A’ for the first time, there was a tornado while we were on the road. When I woke in the morning, the little city we were near was pretty devastated, but ~ at the local car dealership there was a HUGE American flag on a big flag pole that had been ripped through. I gasped as I took in the sight:
The flag ~ Ol’ Glory ~ was being propped up by a beefy pickup truck. I was amazed
and thought that it was pretty clearly a vision of how America is gonna be saved
on the backs of GRATEFUL hard-working Christian Americans. No Less. (I feel the fear leaving and the intensity growing. There will certainly BE A CLIMATE CHANGE but, jus’ not what them ‘greenies’ had in mind…
Well, that was the truthful story and now..prayerfully someone can tell me where I can find that DVD to watch the rest of that movie. Now…..where’s my popcorn…?

“…Any linking of the billions of dollars of aid to political support is extremely controversial – nations most threatened by climate change see the aid as a right, not a reward, and such a link as heretical…”
kind of says it all
Dutch internet users start petition addressed to the Dutch Prime Minister to offer political asylum, legal support and personal protection for Assange and to offer a redundant provider services to keep Wikileaks online.

Use Google Translator Dutch/English and if possible sign the petition.
But…. I thought I thawed repudiate?

“The biggest shock has been Japan’s announcement that it will not support an extension of the existing Kyoto climate treaty. That gives a huge boost to the accord. US diplomatic wheeling and dealing may, it seems, be bearing fruit.”
Dear Cynthia Lauren Thorpe

Cancun will work out just fine now that prayers have been offered to the Mayan Moon Godess:

I will not stop worrying about what is being done by my government and how badly it is screwing things up in the name of AGW until they are finally defeated.
I hope it happens in 2012, but I have seen these folks survive worse than the 2010 “shellacking” before. They are like those danged energizer bunnies!
Anthony,
Hoping all is well with Mrs. Watts and the hospital visit is a scheduled check-up.
Best regards to you both.
I am not sure on the focus on ‘countries’ (Quinn the Eskimo), thank you for your insightful comment. Surely interest groups within countries needs to be plotted?
Yes, great clip, thanks for posting
Cynthia – you may also enjoy the versions by Patti Page (1950) and Patsy Cline (3/1963 for the US Airforce) – The Tennessee Waltz – on you tube.
Wiki states the TTW was the highest selling in Japan- where rating is of musical quality rather than country or name of artist (28/12/1974).
Anthony, sorry to hear you are back in the hospital scene, we all wish you well!
There’s an interesting perspective on Wikileaks files from the DOE Fermilab, please see “Preventing Wikileaks access” at this link:
http://www.fnal.gov/pub/today/
“While it might seem intuitive that once a classified document has been publicly exposed it would no longer be considered classified, that is not true. There is some risk to you as an individual of being involved in an investigation if you view or possess classified information.”
Wow. this is big.
I used to think that Wikileaks was a lot about ruining the efforts of the US and allies in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But I have begun to think that the corruption of the Karzai regime and the unwillingness of the Obama government to push for fair, democratic elections and government in Afghanistan are the most important threats to convincing Afghanis that democracy is a good thing.
Wikileaks exposes the dealings of US diplomats with corrupt Afghani government officials.
And the more the political elites in Europe and the world isolate themselves from, and lie to the populations they are supposed to represent, the more I am happy that Wikileaks shows what they are really up to.
I am carefully beginning to like Wikileaks.
I’m interested to see that The Guardian now thinks that the EU is a “country”.
Or have I missed something?
