HOAXES and SCAMS

This Christmas season we watched the ObamaCare trainwreck continue, and the more ‘Progressive’ of the Liberal Pundits call for the replacement of ObamaCare with “Single-Payer” or government controlled Socialist Health Care. Which is what they wanted all along, but knew would not pass even a very liberal Democrat Congress. The Obamas left for their $5 Million Hawaiian Christmas Vacation while the Socialist Democrats in Washington prepare to fight for “Income Equality”, or free money for people that don’t want to even pretend to work, but will bother to vote Democrat if bribed. Where do they intend to get this money? Just print it they say, and Janet Yellin, the new Federal Reserve Chairman seems willing to go along with the destruction of the dollar.

We did have an entertaining farce in Antactica for our “Winter Holiday” (Christmas is so Politically Incorrect!). While the “Global Warmists” try to make excuses, ignore facts, and drum up support for their failed hoax, the Media continues to ignore the known (or reported) facts and the timeline:

1. The Russian icebreaker, MV Akademic Shokalskiy, with 52 ‘Climate Scientists’ on board for a trip to gather ‘evidence’ of Man Caused Global Warming, got icebound on Dec. 24 in ice reported as being less than 2 meters thick. This was three days after the Summer Solstice (longest day of the year, mid-summer day) in the southern hemisphere.

2. The Chinese icebreaker, Xue Long (Snow Dragon), reputedly able to handle ice to 3 meters thick, tried to free the Russian ship but was unable to reach it, turned back, and appeared icebound itself by the time the heavier Australian icebreaker, Aurora Australis, arrived on the scene.

3. On Jan. 2 the ‘scientists’ were evacuated by the Xue Long’s helicopter to the Aurora Australis, which headed back to Tasmania without any further attempts to free the other two icebreakers. Ice thickness at the Russian ship was reported at 3.1 meters. While the media reported that the stuck icebreakers “were waiting for the ice to break-up”, the USCG icebeaker Polar Star, rated to break ice to 6 meters was dispatched.

4. Jan. 4 was the Solar Perihelion, the closest point of the Earth to the Sun in its annual rotation. The southern hemisphere is tilted on Earth’s axis toward the Sun.

5. For months, Solar scientists have warned of reduced solar activity, but this has been ignored by the Global Warmists and the “Media”. (Doesn’t fit the Approved Agenda?)

From the above information, I have some questions and conclusions:

1. If those “Climate Scientists” are so damn smart, why did they let their ship get icebound? Weren’t they monitoring seawater temperatures, ice thickness, surface weather and forecasts? Or are they so brainwashed by their own propaganda that they refuse to consider observable facts, or just too busy partying on their ‘Grant Money’?

2. Why doesn’t the Media report the facts instead of Warmist’s propaganda? If the ice around the MV Akademic Shokalskiy grew over a meter in thickness in 10 days DURING HIGH SUMMER, isn’t that a reportable observation of great interest to science and people in general? The ice pack should be melting, not growing at this time of year.

3. Why did the Aurora Australis, originally reported as a very capable icebreaker, NOT try to free the other two? The ice pack was growing, but reports are hazy, some said the Xue Long was only about 8 miles from “open water” and a similar distance to the Russian ship. Why couldn’t the Aurora free the Xue Long, and the two working together free the Russian? I think they know/observed conditions that the “Powers-That-Be” don’t want reported, but the Media is full of stories of all the trees the “Climate Scientists” intend to plant.

I believe that if these conditions are that abnormal for High Summer in the southern hemisphere which is angled toward the Sun and at the perihelion, there is serious evidence that our winter in the northern hemisphere is going to be longer and much more severe than normal. This “Man Caused Global Warming” is no longer just a Hoax and a scam to get grants and more government regulations, but becoming a danger to peoples’ safety and our economy because the Warmists in government and media are refusing to tell us the truth so we can properly prepare for severe winter weather.

Note: The icebound ships have freed themselves since this was submitted, but the questions still remain.

Other news you may have missed: Congress is cutting the COLA for military retirees, even those retired for wounds, but keeping “Earned Income Tax Credit” for illegal aliens claiming children in other countries. They can get huge tax refunds, way over any income tax paid, for children they claim to support even if they are not their own but nieces and nephews. No verification is required, or possible. Millions of Tax Dollars were given to illegal aliens last year in this scam. The Socialist Democrats and the RINOs are in a bidding war for the Illegal Alien Vote, but non-citizens are not supposed to vote!?!

The Little Sisters of the Poor are facing millions of dollars in fines for not providing insurance coverage for their ‘employees’ that include contraceptives, abortifact drugs, and even abortion. I’m not Catholic, but this is awful! So unconstitutional and anti-American in many ways. Obama gives exemptions to many of his cronies, why force this on Nuns?

And talk about Constitutional? Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that the “ObamaCare Mandate” was “Constitutional” because it was a tax administered by the IRS. Constitutionalists filed suit that the Constitution requires that all bills for taxes must originate in the House, which this did NOT. “Justice” Roberts has refused for the Supreme Court to hear the case. Clear violation of Constitutional Law. The Obama administration is a dictatorship. Obama has changed the ObamaCare Law many times by executive order, totally in violation of the Constitution, but has become the new “normal”. Roberts and the rest of the Supreme Court are allowing it.

Robert Gates, Obama’s first Secretary of Defense, has a new book coming out that may answer many questions about failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama just wanted “out” of Iraq, and had no confidence (or possibly intention?) in winning in Afghanistan. Coupled with the Debacle of Benghazi, The Arab Spring, Egypt & the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Qaeda in Syria getting the weapons Obama sent to the Syrian Rebels now being used to conquer Ramadi and Fulluja in Iraq, questions about Obama’s competence and even intent are bound to continue to plague him.
