Bjørn Lomborg: “Moreover, these [Paris Agreement] promises will not *solve* global warming – indeed, they will together achieve almost nothing: By the UN’s own estimate, the Paris Treaty will reduce emissions by less than 1% of what would be needed to keep temperature rises under 2°C and yet cost $1-2 trillion per year by 2030, mostly in reduced GDP growth. So Paris will deliver far less than what most people expect, yet will cost much more than most people are willing to pay.”
“Of course, most smart people would be against paying lots for achieving little or nothing. If anything, this suggests that democracy works just fine.”
“But [Norwegian professor] Randers instead takes this unwillingness to spend fortunes on little benefits as an argument for ending democracy. ‘if people don’t want my preferred solution, then people are stupid, shouldn’t be allowed to decide their fate, and we should install a climate dictatorship instead.’ The argument literally seems to be: If I can’t have my way in a democracy, I want my way with a dictatorship.”
“That is hardly a good argument. It is also phenomenally expensive: Look at the costs to achieve the sort of climate policies that Randers and many others are advocating. If the EU fulfils its promise of cutting emissions by 80% in 2050 (which is the most ambitious climate policy in the world today), the average of the best peer-reviewed models show that the cost would run to at least $3 trillion per year, and more likely double that – meaning $6,000 for each EU citizen per year. Of course, few will vote for that.” …
Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. hit one out of the park yesterday. Well worth the 9 minutes to watch this video.
Amidst calls from UN members for her removal, she tells the UN, “Our principles are not up for a vote.”
She refers to a UN vote on Wednesday this week, when the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted for a resolution condemning the United States’ embargo on Cuba. The vote was 191-2, with Israel again being the only country to side with the U.S. ISRAEL, THE ONLY COUNTRY TO VOTE WITH THE US.
Among several other important things, she said, “Let’s be honest about what we really see going on here. This assembly does not have the power to end the U.S. embargo. It is based in U.S. law, which only the United States Congress can change.”
‘The statement from Ambassador Haley reiterated that the United States is an independent and sovereign nation that will not be bullied by nations that talk a good talk while at the same time carry out human rights abuses against their people. It was made clear that the United Nations does not control the U.S. Congress.’
‘Speaking to the assembly, Ambassador Haley explained that the United States is a democracy and that the people exercised their constitutional right to elect President Trump and that President Trump’s decision to leave the embargo in place is not up for debate.’ (Succinct explanation in single quotes by Micah Rate at Townhall.com)
After a few sentences to apologize for the 2016 decision by the Obama administration in the 25th of 26 consecutive annual votes by the UN to coerce the U.S. to end the embargo, Ambassador Haley stands her ground and pushes back against the UN oligathugs, “To those who are confused as to where the United States stands, let me be clear: as is their right under our Constitution, the American people have spoken. They have chosen a new president, and he has chosen a new ambassador to the United Nations.” She also clears the table with that statement regarding several calls within the UN for her resignation.
“The United States does not fear isolation in this chamber, or anywhere else. Our principles are not up for a vote.”
When you promote diversity, one result is divisiveness and another is identity politics. It is an indoctrination tool of Saul-Alinsky-trained community organizers / collectivists whose goal is revolution. After the run-down murders in Manhattan by a crazed man yelling something about akbar, isn’t it time to end the false mantra that diversity and tolerance are virtues? There is a point where, after which, more diversity is a bad thing, and the US and Sweden are well past that point. Instead, it is time for free people everywhere to discriminate with prejudice against by-the-book Muslims in favor of and to protect those Muslims who would reform their culture and societies.
“There will always be a ghost to chase somewhere… as Demetrius says below. nation building. Lets focus on national prosperity and leaving dollars in our people’s hands, not in the State’s for guns and so-called “terrorist” fighting. I think we manufacture “terrorists” on these outings – and if we focused on fiscal and entrepreneurial power – we will be able to wipe the bad out when the time comes, and many of the People will encourage their nations to voluntarily become the 51st and 52nd state based upon our laws and what we can do for their people. That’s the only worthy nation-state building worthwhile – inspiring people who beg to share w/ us what we have created beneath the blanket of freed and Divine Providence. ~ Ted Alexander Nov/1/2017
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (the McCarran-Walter Act), allows the “Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. The President may, by proclamation, and for such a period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate.”
The McCarran-Walter Act also requires that an “applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and in agreement with the principles of our Constitution.”
President Jimmy Carter used this process in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States after Iranians took over the US Embassy in Tehran and kidnapped U.S. diplomatic staff. President Carter made ALL Iranian students in the United States check in regularly with the government. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, and a total of 15,000 Iranians were deported from the USA in 1979.
Since the Koran/sharia forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to any government or constitution (but instead Muslims swear allegiance to and submit to Islam and Allah) and since U.S. law already REQUIRES immigrants to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, then should not ALL Muslims be refused immigration to OUR country unless and until they make a formal and credible renouncement of the superiority of this requirement in Koranic law?
Assimilation is the intention of U.S. law and assimilation contradicts Koranic law. The incompatibility of the two cultures is not difficult to understand.
In addition, we and all immigration authorities and security people must keep in mind permanently that the Koran authorizes Muslims to lie to legal authorities if it benefits Muslims or Islam. That is another fundamental incompatibility with U.S. law and culture. This means trust, and the appearance of trust, is for sale. It’s not a truth or a goal. It’s a giant con game. That is a mafioso characteristic that Americans reject.
It should be obvious that no devout Muslim should be allowed in the U.S. government at any level, much less in Homeland Security or defense forces. There are other places they may contribute to U.S. society and where Americans would protect reformist Muslims from their brothers and sisters in Islam.
It’s not a religious test. It’s a survival test, a test of your free will and sovereignty versus their indoctrinated-from-birth dark ages barbarianism whose intent, clearly and often expressed, is world domination. Thus far in the 21st century, almost all of our political leaders in America and western society have failed this test.

“We’re digging into the most pervasive and sinister attempt in U.S. history to force a president from office…the “Deep State” intelligence leak conspiracy. This scandal began during the 2016 campaign and continues today. The Deep State seems to unlawfully target President Trump and his team. We’ve filed TWELVE lawsuits against agencies including the FBI, CIA, NSA, and the State and Justice Departments, to expose the Deep State operation to undermine the rule of law. More lawsuits to follow.” ~ Tom Fitton, President, Judicial Watch, letter. www.judicialwatch.org Donations appreciated or for more information.
Letter received in U.S. Mail, undated, irregular post markings, October 30, 2017.
“…it appears that the climate establishment has discarded the so called “hot-spot”, once called the distinct human fingerprint. First so proclaimed in an IPCC Physical Sciences Working Group meeting in Madrid in late November 1995, the “hot-spot” became the justification for the statement: “the balance of evidence points towards a discernible human influence on global climate.” It was important in helping obtain the over $40 billion US government has spent in “climate science” since 1993, tens of billions on “climate change financing” and the tens of billions in tax subsidies for poor alternatives to fossil fuels – mainly solar and wind [the amounts are based on government reports and government definitions]. In “fighting” climate change, the US is spending almost as much as it did on all the Apollo missions, in 2012 dollars. The funds do not include the moneys the state department turned over to UN organizations in the closing days of the Obama Administration.”
“Part of the funds spent by the US went to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and one of its parent organizations, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), largely through the State Department and the USAID. The IPCC has become an established political organization continuing to investigate the influence of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, on the earth’s temperatures, but not rigorously rejecting or modifying hypotheses found faulty. Thus, the IPCC is masking its activities and undermining its own scientific credibility….” ~ THIS WEEK: By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)
In other words, the Obama administration funded a massive growth in government agencies which will be able to do absolutely nothing of importance for the people, about a hypothetical problem that, by the laws of science, does not exist. But, the ongoing solution that has been implemented by the governments of more than 150 nations already has cost the people many, many billions of dollars and there will be many billions more in this ongoing scam. That money could have been better spent elsewhere. For example, many millions of people have no electricity still. Much to do about nothing, Shakespeare said. Perhaps a trillion U.S. dollars have been wasted worldwide, ostensibly on reducing CO2 emissions, about reducing a trace gas in the atmosphere which is the primary nutrient of plants. But, actually what we have done is employ many thousands of people in non-productive jobs, that is, jobs which produce nothing of value.
Obama Administration THREATENED Uranium One Informant (reblog)
The truly insidious nature of the Uranium One scandal is now coming to light, thanks to the bravery of the FBI’s informant who was critical in prosecuting the Russian agents who carried out a bribery and extortion scheme to get the deal signed. What is the next revelation in this scandalous saga?
According to this informant, who still remains unidentified (probably for his own safety, if anything), the Obama administration threatened him and his career because he wanted to speak out regarding the details of the scandal.
The informant had even brought a lawsuit against the administration because he felt that the information was that important. Last year, the Obama administration wanted him to drop the lawsuit, and threatened him and his career to try and coerce him into doing so, according to The Daily Caller.
“Victoria Toensing, the lawyer for the informant, told The Daily Caller’s Vince Coglianese that Obama Justice Department lawyers told her client that “his reputation and liberty [was] in jeopardy” if he did not drop a lawsuit against the government.
On Wednesday, the Trump Justice Department released the informant from a confidentiality agreement, clearing the way for him to testify before several congressional committees about his undercover work at Uranium One, a Canada-based energy company that has ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton and their family foundation.
In 2010, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an inter-agency governmental committee that reviews applications for foreign purchases of companies, granted the Russia-owned energy company Rosatom the right to purchase Uranium One.
The informant was working with the FBI from 2009 to 2014 during their investigation of the chicanery surrounding the Uranium One deal. The investigation spanned several years, despite the deal being signed off in 2010. Nonetheless, in spite of the probe’s ongoing nature, no one on the Committee on Foreign Investment, nor anyone in Congress, was informed about the possible criminality the FBI was investigating.
This FBI informant knew what was going on, as he was directly involved in everything for years. The fact that the information still has not been made public is disconcerting, and the fact that he had to file a civil suit to lift the gag order is also disturbing as well. Not to mention the threats made against him to drop the suit. That adds another level of criminality to the entire scandal.
“The Russians have threatened him, and up until just last night the U.S. government has threatened him,” Toensing told Coglianese during an interview on WMAL’s “Mornings on the Mall.”
“He was told that if he didn’t dismiss the case his reputation and liberty were in jeopardy.”
The good news is that the Justice Department has lifted the gag order on the informant, and at some point soon he will likely testify before Congress about what he knows.
There will be a great deal of controversy surrounding his testimony. He may reveal information that could lead to arrest and prosecution of current and former government officials, at least we hope the information will be that potent and incriminating.
He better have armed security at his home and wherever he goes, 24/7 without fail. I’m sure there are threats against this man’s life beyond what will ever be made public. ~
Obama Appointed a Radical Islamist to Approve Russian Uranium Sale (reblog)
The deal that handed over 20 percent of America’s uranium resources to Vladimir Putin was approved by a radical islamist with a long history of involvement with Muslim Brotherhood-founded organizations.
Aimen Nabi Mir is the former president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America. Obama picked him to lead the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS), technically a national security post within the Department of the Treasury.
Mir was chairman of the organization from 2009 to 2014. During that time, he was instrumental in CFIUS’s decision to approve the sale of Uranium One to Russia’s agency Rosatom.
Russian nuclear industry officials have been accused of engaging in bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering to secure the deal in a scandal that has involved the State Department, the FBI, Department of Justice, the Clinton Foundation, and the Russian government.
Mir also played a key role in the Treasury Department’s refusal to investigate the UAE’s Gulftainer 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Port Canaveral, a critical military infrastructure facility for U.S. naval and space operations, the Center for Security Policy writes. Both decisions severely damaged United States national security.
Mir’s Islamist connections are troubling. The Islamic Society of North America is the largest Muslim advocacy group in the country, and a front group for Muslim Brotherhood. They are also unindicted co-conspirators in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation/HAMAS terrorism funding trial.
Further, Aimen Mir is the son of Kashmir-born physician Dr. Ghulam Nabi Mir, an ISNA Founders Committee member. Dr. Mir is also the president of the World Kashmir Awareness Forum (WKAF), an Islamic platform Dr. Mir uses to aggressively advocate for Kashmir’s secession from India in order to join Pakistan. WKAF’s Secretary General “Dr.” Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, is a convicted felon, also from Kashmir, who served as a Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) operativeinside the United States.
In 2011, Fai was arrested by the FBI for covertly operating as a foreign agent while receiving millions from the ISI. He used some of that money to fund an elaborate lobbying operation pushing Kashmiri “independence” on unsuspecting U.S. officials who remained seemingly unaware that Pakistan was running the operation.
In 2013, Fai was granted early release from U.S. federal prison by the Justice Department.
Like his father’s ISI partner Fai, Aimen Mir appears to have been running his own operation at CFIUS.
Aimen Mir was the CFIUS Staff Chairperson from 2009 until 2014. During Mir’s five years in the staff chairperson’s seat, CFIUS approved Russia’s 2010 purchase of Uranium One, effectively handing Vladimir Putin control of 20 percent of America’s uranium. Also during Mir’s term, the Treasury Department refused to conduct two legally-required CFIUS investigations of Port Canaveral’s 2014 container terminal lease concession to the UAE’s Gulftainer.
That deal placed some very nefarious people inside the workings of a national security-sensitive US port.
The Treasury Department promoted Aimen Mir to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investment Security in 2014 after the Clinton Foundation-connected Uranium One and Gulftainer Port Canaveral deals closed. Mir’s LinkedIn profile and post-Trump administration inauguration posts show he’s still at the Treasury Department, now as a career civil servant.
And now Mir is handing over America’s uranium resources to Vladimir Putin, and it was all arranged by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
This sex crime stuff had to come out of the closet. It was going to come out as a legitimization of porn, pedophilia and prostitution, and who knows what else, or, it was going to come out as criminalization of porn, pedophilia and prostitution. Think of it as a kind of industrial reform. If only Windex worked for that.
In progressiveland, it was going to come out as a legitimization of porn, pedophilia and prostitution, and Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, (and their equivalents in government) would be welcomed back to the fold. Or, in GOPland it was going to come out as criminalization of porn, pedophilia and prostitution. Hollywood feed will be reruns of the OJ Simpson trial, staged as Perry Mason with a CSI lab with Precious as his sidekick. Debby does Dallas will be confined to cinema history libraries, banned from networks, off limits unless you are a dirty old academic cinematologist.
A crisis has emerged. So look who is holding the hammer. Think of it as a kind of industrial reform. Going forward, everything depends on how heavy handed GOPers get with these new regulated areas, and of course, the elephant in the room everyone with sense is watching, whether the GOPers in power deal justice to the actual perps. If GOPers don’t meter out by the-book-punishment to the actual perps, all of them, no coverups, then the next two elections will disrupt the status quo and neither party will be pleased.
