GLOBAL WARMING:

Here's a good reminder that the reason global warming frauds are pushing this scam is to get rich: NASA fraud James Hansen has amassed over $1 million in outside income from promoting this scam in addition to the taxpayer funded income. I bet you Phil Jones and Michael Mann both live like kings too.

In another example, here's an excellent breakdown of how government subsidies guarantee rich people make a ton of money for investing in inefficient green energy.

"Ripping off both the consumer and the taxpayer to allow millionaires to make a guaranteed 29% return on a not-ready-for-market technology, and charging ratepayers 50% above market for the electricity? That is reprehensible and indefensible. In particular, the rate hikes hit the poor much harder than the wealthy, so we are billing the poor to line the pockets of the 1% … and all this in the name of enlightened carbon fears."

But of course the Occupiers want more green energy.

POLICE STATE:

Expose of fake terror plots ginned up by the FBI.

FOREIGN POLICY:

It looks like western countries are starting another civil war to topple another Arab government, this time in Syria.

"As the UK Independent newspaper reports in its Saturday edition, the British government has formally opened talks with the Syrian opposition movement. This move parallels early Western efforts in Libya in advance of the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime and installation of the Benghazi rebels to ruling position in the country. Surely direct military intervention, likely under the NATO flag but with US as the majority partner, is not far behind."

But as in Libya,

"The 'Free Syria Army' is literally an army of militant extremists, many drawn not from Syria's military ranks, but from the Muslim Brotherhood, carrying heavy weapons back and forth over the Turkish and Lebanese borders, funded, supported, and armed by the United States, Israel, and Turkey. The latest evidence confirming this comes in the form of a report out of the International Institute for Strategic Studies where Senior Fellow for Regional Security at IISS-Middle East Emile Hokayem openly admits Syria's opposition is armed and prepared to drag Syria's violence into even bloodier depths."

Why are western rulers toppling moderate governments and installing Islamists? Is it because those government's weren't scary enough? Is this to limit China's influence in the Middle East? In Libya at least, the Islamists promised to sell oil to the west using the dollar. Is it the same in Syria? Don't expect them to keep that promise. Muslims don't think it's a sin to lie to infidels.

POLITICS:

For four years now, I've said that Ron Paul is the only candidate in either party with the knowledge and a plan to minimize the damage that's been done to our economy and our country by government already. But I've been looking for a sign that he can break through and win, and so far, I hadn't seen such a sign. Today the New York Times is talking about him potentially winning Iowa. That's a big sign.

Article explains the impact the state has on capitalists-entrepreneurs, and it isn't pretty. I would love for every Occupier to read this essay.
