Revelations
An economist's end of days scenario: charge a carbon tax or die;
unravelling Barbara Olson's 9/11 phone calls; and - unthinkable but
true - the excommunication of the Holy Mother of God
Salvation in a simple tax - and maybe a go
at China
Canwest:
Experts fear UN climate panel playing a 'risky' game [McGill
U. economist Christopher] Green and his colleagues say many of the
panel's scenarios are unrealistic and are diverting attention away from
the task of getting on with transformation of the global energy system.
And all this talk of CO2 is doing a good job of
diverting our minds from the wars at hand, and from all the other kinds
of earth destruction big biz is busy at.
Notice who
they want us to blame the most, though - the latest
country we are being taught to love to hate: China...
"China's
carbon dioxide emissions
are estimated to be rising at a rate of 11 to 13 per cent a year, more
than twice the rate projected by the IPCC, the researchers say. They
predict the economic transformation will expand across South Asia, and
eventually Africa, until well beyond 2050."
So nix on
that, eh? No development for those countries
allowed. No mention of how much American CO2 is increasing, but
until recently
the US were the top emitters. Here's a ranked
list of CO2 emitting countries by fossil fuels consumption - which
does not include CO2 produced by deforestation.
It's naive of Green (you gotta love that his name is "Green") to
say that carbon credit trading could produce scams, as if a carbon tax
couldn't easily be squirmed out of.
Both Green and
the Green party prefer
the carbon tax. Then there's John Baird who says "Every time
a report comes out, you can’t change your mind" and who ought to
have added: "Not unless the US admin does".
I wonder if the Nobel folks knew that Green was
anti-Kyoto. Here are his
recommendations to the Harper government (in pdf format,
requires
Adobe Reader). It's always nice to have a self-styled
"expert" give permission for what one has already made up one's mind
not to do.
As for me, the "experts" are so divided on "global warming", and so
blind to the real earth killers, I'm just glad I won't be around to
have to witness the effects on the next generation.
The
Olson phone calls - the thinning
plot
Ever since I first saw this photo
of Ted Olson
sitting beside a framed one of his dead wife Barbara I have wondered
and
wondered about him and his story that she called him from flight 77 on
9/11.
Olson has been living on the extreme right since his university days,
was heavily involved in the campaign to bring down Clinton (which I
think may just have been an effort to discredit the Democrats
since it seems now that the Clintons were and are willing tools of the
machine) and during the Reagan years, when the Environmental
Protection Agency accused Reagan of sabotaging enforcement of the
anti-pollution laws (as you can see, not much has changed in that
department), he came
very close to being convicted of perjury.
The Washington Post belatedly pegged
him
as someone who as an employee of the US Justice Department was not
averse to the government lying to the people under certain
circumstances. Such candor makes him seem almost honest, don't
you
think?.
(Meanwhile Donald Rumsfeld, who has been caught
on video lying about his lies, promised he would never lie to the
American people.)
Still, I thought it was pretty strange that Olson, upon hearing that
his wife had just died, immediately phoned up CNN to get it on the
news. That didn't sound like something a suddenly bereaved
husband
would do.
I began to wonder if Olson loved his wife. I wondered if she
really
died, or if she just wanted to go someplace else, with a new identity,
and live where he couldn't find her.
Operation
Northwoods,
for instance - a 60's proposal to create a terrorist event and
blame
it on Castro - didn't suggest putting real people on its droned-up
passenger plane, so if 9/11 were based on that model they would have
simply borrowed some names for the passenger list, and Barbara could have pretended
to have died. (They
certainly
forgot to include some Arab names, which was odd because the
"hijackers" were supposedly Arabs posing as passengers.)
Then I started to wonder if Ted hated Barbara enough to allow her to be
killed - for a good cause, of course. Still I wonder, yeah I wonder ...
there are "clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground [zero]". Creedence Clearwater Revival
Anyway, here are the up-to-date details on those famous phone calls:

The Army of Mary
Did I ever tell you about the Army of Mary? Maybe you
already know them? They live right next door in Quebec.
Read this
and tell me if Christendom would believe it if Jesus really did return
to earth - especially if he didn't have blue eyes and long, blond, wavy
hair.
If this good woman, Marie-Paule Giguère, says she's a
reincarnation of
the mother of Jesus, who's to prove she's not? No need to prove
it - she's
already out of the church on her keester.
(Personally, with that uptight hairdo she looks more like a clone of
Queen Elizabeth. And what's with the whole "army" motif? Didn't
God
give that to the Sally Anns? But I'm not Catholic, so I
shouldn't judge. )
Apparently, there's a rule in the Catholic church that "private
revelation ... cannot introduce new doctrinal truths". So God can
only
whisper truths in a believer's ear up to a certain point. After
that,
He's like Rumsfeld - not to be trusted, and the Pope dictates to Him
like John Baird to the Liberals, saying "you can't change your mind".
Maybe He was even fibbing to Bush when He
told him to attack Iraq.
So why hasn't the Church questioned that? Maybe Bush is on a
waiting
list. There must be a ton of revelations to investigate. Remember
how
long it took for the world to become round?
