If you take into account that Bachmann enticed 4000 people with a free country music concert in return for their vote, Paul is miles ahead in the lead.
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. Isiah 62:6


Prime Minister Gillard has finally laid her Carbon Tax cards on the table. This is despite the fact she promised us before the election we would not get a carbon tax. It was interesting to see a poll conducted on Channel Ten Sydney last night. The immediate reaction to the question “Will the carbon tax be good for Australia?” 81% said “No”.
Another thing I’ve noticed. Gillard has spoken a lot about the tax, but only now is she mentioning “carbon credits”. It’s one thing to have a tax. Even if the premise is bogus, at least the money is collected by government and is redirected back into the Australian economy. However, if the tax is used to purchase carbon credits on the international market or set up the economic infrastructure to make it possible, that’s just opening the door for our prosperity to be sucked out of our country.
We are being taxed for producing carbon, something which, to the average person, has no tangible substance. This “nothing” is somehow measured and quantified. This turns into a penalty notice or a sin. We absolve ourselves by purchasing an indulgence or a carbon credit to expunge our guilt. We show our indulgence to the climate papacy and they grant us forgiveness for our sins of emission. This was a cruel scam in the middle ages. It is no less so today.

The banks will love it. Look how they have wrecked the world economy with dodgy derivatives and toxic assets whilst feathering their own nests through the digital mayhem. Carbon trading is so nebulous it will be a playground for scammers. Where are the countries that are planting hectares of trees and sucking up all the carbon that they can afford to sell “carbon credits” anyway?

What's really tragic is the fact that this carbon fiasco gets all the airtime whilst other real crises get little or no coverage: peak oil, US dollar collapse, US debt default, global food crisis...and any of these can spark world war or turn our world upsidedown very quickly indeed. When the food shelves at Coles start to look empty you won't be worrying about the thermometer.


Fake image of dead Osama Bin Laden
What a bizarre day. First we get the announcement that Obama has finally killed Osama. I immediately think, well, they will have to thaw him out first. He's probably been dead for years. Then I see young American crowds cheering USA USA USA! Like they've just scored the winning basket in the NBA final. Then I get home to watch the news and discover that Osama's body has been buried at sea in accordance with Islamic traditional practice? What?! Let me get that right, you just got the guy supposedly responsible for the crime of the century (9/11) and you don't bring back the body for independant verification because of Muslim religious observance? You don't put his head on a spike outside Ground Zero? You've got to be joking. The building in which the final shootout occured has gone up in flames. There goes the crime scene as well.
So basically, we've got nothing. No evidence whatsoever. The Whitehouse has proved nothing. Was nothing learnt from the demise of Hitler, about the need to verify such deaths with proper documentation, lest the persistant doubts thereafter. This would get nowhere in a court of law.
How stupid do they think we are? Well, by the way the news is being taken at face value and the celebrations have erupted, they think we are quite stupid and sadly they are right.
Regardless of the veracity or otherwise of OBL's death, here are the likely benefits to the Obama administration:
-Immediate boost to Obama's flagging approval rating
-Everyone fails to notice the Photoshop experts declaring Obama's birth certificate a fake
-Afghanistan can be declared mission accomplished and they can move the troops out of there and into Libya
-They have an excuse to go and thump Pakistan for harboring OBL
-The Truthers heading to Ground Zero this year for the big 10th anniversary of 9/11 will now be challenged by pro USA chanting dupes emboldened by today's news
-But worst, they can stage another false flag attack on the US mainland in the guise of an Al Qaeda "retaliation"
The War on Terror is not over. It's meant to be a war without end against a faceless foe. OBL will be replaced by another boogie man and he will held responsible for a staged atrocity. Tomorrow, the TSA will continue to naked body scan US citizens and grope their gentials. Osama might have been written out of the script but this soap opera has plenty more episodes to run.
