Obama to GIVE AWAY our SOVEREIGNTY to New World Order in December

NO DEMOCRACY – NO CIVIL RIGHTS – NO CONSTITUTION – NO FREEDOM – COMMUNIST STATE

On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted climate change skeptic, gave a presentation at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN.  In this 4-minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty, scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009.

 Lord Monckton served as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher.  He has repeatedly challenged Al Gore to a debate to which Gore has refused.

Monckton sued to stop Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies.  The judge found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to be corrected.  Lord Monckton travels internationally in an attempt to educating the public about the myth of global warming.

Capping and Trading for Profit

By Jack Duckworth

The Washington Times reports that three utilities and two manufactures, Nike Inc. and Apple Inc., resigned from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because of the chamber's fight against the proposed "cap-and-trade" legislation ("Backers of climate bill quit chamber," Page 1, Tuesday).

I worked for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and its predecessor, the Federal Power Commission, for 32 years, and that experience taught me that no corporation or utility acts in the interest of the American environmental or social conscience.  You can be assured that Nike, Apple and the three utilities want a cap-and-trade bill to pass the House and Senate because it will strengthen their position in the marketplace and increase their profits.

Nike has installed energy-monitoring devices in its manufacturing plants in China and Vietnam in an effort to cut energy consumption.  That's a noble effort, but even if Nike fails to cut its energy consumption, it will not be penalized by a U.S. cap-and-trade law because its energy consumption and its manufacturing take place outside U.S. borders.

Apple is in the same boat with its overseas production.  It has undertaken a program to reduce the energy consumption of its finished products, but it will not suffer any impact to its profits due to passage of a cap-and-trade bill.

The three utilities that want to see a cap-and-trade bill passed are PG&E of California, Exelon Corp. of Chicago and PNM Resources Inc. of New Mexico.  PG&E has been heavily invested in hydroelectric generation since it came into being and has significant nuclear power generating resources; both of these will be profit boons under a cap-and-trade bill.  Eighty-three percent of Exelon's electric generation resources are nuclear, which will make it a profit king under a cap-and-trade bill.  PNM Resources is a 10-percent owner in the Palo Alto nuclear-generating station near Phoenix.  All of these corporations have everything to gain and nothing to lose if the cap-and-trade bill becomes law.
