  “AS nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

  Re last video by Thatcher’s policy adviser, Lord Monckton…

  here is link to the treaty he refers to

  http://www.globalclimatescam.com/documents/un-fccc-copenhagen-2009.pdf

  I just had a look and quickly notice that there are a lot of substitute words/phrases for signatories to decide upon (or perhaps before negotiators will hammer out the decision?). For instance, on Page 9, para 14, it says “[must][should] show leadership”. Big diff.

  This makes the document hard to read/ evaluate since one will not know beforehand which word will be chosen in which paragraph.

  I guess one must assume the worst and hope for the best — which would be a weasel treaty that means little, just like the first one (Kyoto) and will fade from the scene as the planet continues to cool down.

  What cheeses me off is that while humanity chases its tail on aGW, it does nothing on real problems such as overfishing, dead ocean zones, erosion and other direct/ unarguable impacts we have on the planet that we should be attending to as a far greater threat.

  While things look grim, one unappreciated reason democracy still has a chance is that for the first time (more or less) in history, there is a plurality of democracies all existing & competing at the same time. Hopefully, one will continue to hold the flag/ shine the torch, but which one, i cannot say. Which is why I now oppose the NWO reality (despite having some sympathy with certain laudable global goals).

  Slider,
  On gold, it continues to bother me that the XAU/HUI has seriously lagged gold/GLD. You know my concern about naked shorts which continues despite not being able to prove anything.

  But I also wanted to ask for your take on this email i received which sounds good but which i distrust. There is a great misunderstanding on this topic because people only listen to pundits instead of reading original texts.

  A Culture of Political Correctness

  by Guy Rodgers

  http://www.actforamerica.org

  Dear Robert,

  The horrific massacre at Ft. Hood has exposed the degree to which political correctness impacts government and military action — and media coverage.

  Fox News contributor Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (retired) exhibited a courage and clarity that has been lacking in most media coverage when, during two different interviews I saw, he angrily and indignantly denounced what he referred to as a “culture of political correctness” in the leadership of the military.

  He pointedly asserted that this was an act of Islamist terrorism, and listed just some of the telltale signs to back up his position. For instance:

  * Nidal Hasan opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and would argue with his patients, vets returning from combat, against the justification for the wars.

  * Hasan said the “war on terror” was in fact a war against Islam.

  * There is evidence that Hasan believed “infidels” deserve beheading.

  * Internet postings in Hasan’s name months earlier compared suicide bombers to heroic soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

  Col. Peters went on to blame the culture of political correctness for the failure of the Army to take any action against Hasan, in spite of an awareness that Hasan held these views.

  Other evidence of Hasan’s beliefs include statements he made to colleagues that Muslims have the right to rise up against the U.S. military, and that they have the right to rise up against their “oppressors” — the United States.

  A fellow student at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences complained about a presentation Hasan gave that “justified suicide bombings and spewed anti-American propaganda.”

  Here’s the disturbing question that needs to be asked: Could this act of terrorism had been prevented had there not been such a politically correct reluctance to act on what was known about Hasan?

  Imagine if the Army had acted. It’s easy to envision the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) indignantly blasting the Army with statements alleging “discrimination.”

  Yet if the Army or law enforcement authorities had stepped in, taken action months ago, and brushed aside the typical and predictable rants from groups like CAIR, is it possible that twelve dead soldiers and one dead police officer would be alive today?

  Why are so many in government and the military apparently afraid of “offending” a group like CAIR, which deserves to be investigated for its many questionable activities and ties to terrorists, not accommodated? (See our petition calling for such an investigation.)

  But in the aftermath of this terrorist act, too few in the media or government have been willing to call it that. There has been a desperate search for another motive, the most common focusing on his mental state.

  Edina Lekovic, communications director for the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), also appeared on Fox News. Lekovic was unequivocal in her remarks, claiming Hasan was “clearly disturbed” and comparing him to the killers at Virginia Tech and Columbine.

  Remarkably, only a minute or so after making this unsubstantiated claim as if it were fact, when asked about any possible connection to Islam, she warned we must not “rush to judgment.”

  But isn’t that precisely what Lekovic did when she asserted Hasan was “clearly disturbed?” Is she a psychiatrist? Did she examine him?

  Of course not. What qualifies Lekovic to assert Hasan was like the Columbine killers? Nothing.

  She did exactly what she is warning others not to. She “rushed to judgment.” And while anyone who is contending that this massacre has all the earmarks of a terrorist attack is challenged, no one on the Fox News program challenged Lekovic’s unverifiable claim falsely asserted as fact.

  Why not? Political correctness?

  More political correctness. Prior to killing 13 people on Thursday, Hasan gave away furniture and Korans, a telltale sign of a jihadist preparing for martyrdom.

  So how does a Washington Post story characterize Hasan’s giving furniture away? As an act of kindness.

  But the tide may be turning. Facts are stubborn things. There are just too many signs that Hasan was in fact a radical Muslim bent on jihad. Too many signs to be ignored.

  ABC News last night ran a headline asking if the Army missed signs that Hasan was an Islamic extremist.

  On Fox News Sunday, Bill Kristol referred to an AP story that quoted colleagues of Hasan at Walter Reed Hospital who admitted they did not report his suspicious actions due to fear of appearing to be discriminatory toward Muslims.

  It may well be determined that Hasan had emotional problems. It may also turn out that he didn’t.

  But as Brit Hume stated on Fox News Sunday, even if Hasan had emotional or psychological issues, the facts clearly point to the conclusion that Hasan was a radical Islamist who acted on his beliefs.

  You can help enlighten America about the truth of this terrorist attack.

  Forward this email to everyone you know.

  And help us shed light on one of the leading “enforcers” of the political correctness that is undermining our ability to prevent terrorism. If you haven’t done so already, sign our petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR’s questionable activities and ties to terrorists.

  Let’s not let the purveyors of political correctness mislead us yet again.

  I thought this was a group lined up on the right side when i added myself to the mailing list but now i’m wondering if that was such a good idea.
