He's Still Preoccupied With 1985

Via Glenn, Walter Russell Mead paints a picture of future energy abundance led by North America:

The two biggest winners look to be Canada and the United States. Canada, with something like two trillion barrels worth of conventional oil in its tar sands, and the United States with about a trillion barrels of shale oil, are the planet’s new super giant energy powers. Throw in natural gas and coal, and the United States is better supplied with fossil fuels than any other country on earth. Canada and the United States are each richer in oil than Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia combined.

Does Obama do or say anything to suggest that he gets this? We have a President who thinks it would be politically awkward to approve the Keystone pipeline from Canada before the election. Meanwhile, his ardor for solar, wind and electric cars seems undimmed.

Electric cars will take their place alongside flying cars as utterly obvious advances that never quite arrived. Well, until we have cars running on natural gas powered fuel cells, which arguably shouldn't count.

Yes Obama gets this. That's why one of his early acts was to get his National Science Foundation under Czar John Holdren to create the Belmont Forum that would push the US into quietly implementing the UN's sustainability and environmental initiatives.

It is under the direction of this man http://www.ncar.ucar.edu/Director/killeenbio.htm--Timothy Killeen.

I have all the documentation and this is actually operating over in Sweden out of prying eyes. It is scheduled to go operational as the Future Earth Alliance in 2013. I really do not think this is a part of my understanding of that oath he took.

[rse]

I came across all this documentation when I was reading all the policy briefs that were created for the Planet under Pressure conference in London in March. It actually ended up being more substantive than Rio+20.

This is the story I wrote about the Belmont Challenge.http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/the-belmont-challenge-and-the-death-of-the-individual-via-education/ which involves remaking American society including the American people around this social, political, and economic vision.

The Future Earth Alliance is covered in the next post on June 17, 2012. An NRC report released last week appeared to be relying on the technology companies to provide the needed hardware and software and consulting to make it possible to keep track of the data needed to implement the Belmont Challenge sustainable economy.

I think this is nuts but there is no question this exists and these goals are being actively pursued. With our money.

So actually having energy resources is contrary to the desired template being put stealthily in place. To be completed by 2020 according to the documents.

[Ignatz]

If Republicans were serious and if Romney ends up elected with a Repub congress, they would withdraw the US from the UN and kick it out of NY.
Let the left play defense for a few decades and see how they do.

[Ignatz]

And let's not forget Israel has more shale oil than Saudi Arabia has oil and vast stores of shale gas.

[James D.]

God, if only, Ignatz. Withdrawing us from the UN would be very high on my wish list of things a President and Congress that actually honored their Constitutional responsibilities and gave a damn about the American people would do.

Also on that list would be the elimination of the departments of Education and Energy, and the gutting and defunding of most of the rest of them.

We can dream, right?

Good Morning.

Talk Radio Roundup.

Today caught Rush for 2 hours, then Dennis Miller interviewing Thomas Lifson of American Thinker, then a quick interview by Hannity on his Radio Show interviewing Pat Buchanan.

Rush was hammering that this election will not be won simply by arguing economics. Says that would have worked in the past but not now. Says if the Republican establishment thinks that will work then they are dead wrong.

Lifson and Miller pretty much agree on that point. Lifson was very disturbed that Mitt is sitting idly by and allowing the Obama camp to paint an untrue image of Romney that will convince enough voters in the swing states to vote Obama over Mitt, and that Mitt has to get off his butt ASAP and counter that and do it without worrying about whether he comes off as not nice.

Miller agrees completely and is sick of Mitt saying Obama is a nice guy. Says Mitt has to take the battle to Obama and call a spade a spade and explain why Obama must be stopped.

Over at Hannity Buchanan says that Team Obama cannot run on their record which is awful, so their strategy is to paint Mitt as an unacceptable ugly alternative, and in his opinion they are so far doing that very effectively. Hannity agrees and they both hope Mitt either has a strategy in place to deal with that which we are just not yet seeing, or comes out swinging soon.

Overall seems like the talkers are all on the same page. Mitt has to define himself and go on offense, and cannot sit relatively idly by hoping that economics pushes him over the top.

[Sue]

Hannity agrees and they both hope Mitt either has a strategy in place to deal with that which we are just not yet seeing, or comes out swinging soon.

Oh noes...this brings out the ugly in someone...

[centralcal]

Ha ha ha ha, Sue!

Oh, but over at HotAir they say Romney is gonna hit back hard and call Obama a "liar." Ooooohhh - that should do it!

I nearly gag whenever I hear Romney or a surrogate call Obama a "nice guy." I guess they think that saves them from being called racist or something?

[Extraneus]

So actually having energy resources is contrary to the desired template being put stealthily in place.

They're not that stealthy.

[Carol Herman]

Obama is still ahead.

And, the "anger" level isn't the best way to win over voters who could care less about a party's "label."

When you think back to Reagan, what people gave him lots of credit for was the twinkle in his eye. And, his laugh when he said "he was once a democrat."

Mitt has yet to find this vein.

[Extraneus]

Speaking of radio personalities, here's a link from Instapundit.

Levin pre-election tax proposal:

Ok, two can play the Obama game. Here's the Levin proposal: A one year tax holiday from all federal taxes of any kind (income, payroll, capital gains, and death) for all tax filers with adjusted gross incomes of $200,000 or less, and all joint and business returns with adjusted gross incomes of $250,000 or less. The status quo will apply to all filers earning above these thresholds.

I realize these guys have to do a lot of talking, and that sometimes means they don't get to think much before talking, but how does this make sense? Somebody with AGI of $200,001 has to pay almost 35% of that in federal income taxes, but if they had only made $1 less, they're tax free?

Perhaps he meant that the first $200K should be tax free?

[Danube of Thought]

I'm sure he means it that way, Ext.

"Does Obama do or say anything to suggest that he gets this?" Does Romney?

This is the exact reason why I didn't want Romney as the nominee. I was hoping for someone who would take it to Obama in no uncertain terms and just kick his ass from one end of the country to the other. Rarely has there been such a target-rich environment, but perhaps he's just keeping his powder dry or planning on a VP nominee doing it for him.

[Chubby]

((Rush was hammering that this election will not be won simply by arguing economics.))

thanks a lot for that recap daddy. I wasn't able to listen today. I agree with them all, that there the economy cannot be the only issue because what if there is a semblance of prosperity created by pumping the markets? Did Rush say what other issues he thinks should be trumpeted?

[Sara]

Rarely has there been such a target-rich environment, but perhaps he's just keeping his powder dry or planning on a VP nominee doing it for him.

Or maybe he just decided to take a couple of days off and spend the 4th with his family at his bought and paid for with his own money vacation home.

Wasn't it just a little over a week ago that everyone was talking about how quickly the Romney campaign was responding to everything coming from Obama as if they were inside his head or at least the campaign planning sessions?

[Chubby]

((I was hoping for someone who would take it to Obama in no uncertain terms and just kick his ass from one end of the country to the other. ))

and I'm sure we can agree that there is at least one person who would have done that very well.

Also thought I would mention that (I think it was ABC) radio news ran a story at the top of the hour break by some Doctor saying that he just concluded a study that shows that vascular stints that we put in patients made of some high quality material are non-essential and we should do the procedure much less often and do it with lower quality material, and that it would save approximately a quarter billion dollars a year in Medical savings.

Struck me that we will probably be hearing a lot more of these sort of stories about how expensive medical care and procedures which were essential before Obamacare passed are suddenly not essential and if done at all should be done on the cheap.

I'm back home. 21 hour drive from Idaho to DFW yesterday/this morning. We made much better time than expected - so we arrived at 4am. My flight didn't leave until 10. We had tried to kill some time in Denver going through old stompin' grounds to show the kids, including the townhouse we lived in when hit and run jr was born. But in the end, you cannot stop my lead foot and you can't really even hope to contain it.

Via Insty:

Obama vs. Romney: Bully vs. Nerd.

Romney’s big problem is that he grew up in another America. He was raised to believe there is a clear standard for adult conduct, that even politics has rules and that it is the duty of a president to unite and lead the nation through its economic crisis.

Timing could be his great misfortune. Fate has given him a demoralized electorate that is growing distant from that old America and an opponent who spouts its verities, but actually believes in none of them.

Barack Obama believes that politics is a knife fight, and the only rule is that he must win. His conduct reflects the unholy mix of a messiah complex with the muscle of The Chicago Way. His goal, he tells us, is to “transform” America, not fix it.

This culture clash explains a presidential campaign operating in parallel universes.

Old-fashioned America’s remedy for bullying: Punch the bully in the nose. Twice as hard. Think Romney knows that?

Here's that stint story in print: Drug-coated stents overused in heart patients, study finds

"Cardiologists are routinely over-using drug-coated stents to prop open blocked arteries in the heart rather than using bare-metal stents for patients at low-risk of another blockage...they cost about $1,000 to $2,000 more than the bare-metal ones."

"The paper underscores the broader problem of cardiologists performing too many angioplasties and stent procedures in patients...Yeh and his colleagues calculated that reducing the unnecessary use of drug-coated stents by half would save $205 million in US health care costs each year and lead to an increase of stent failures in only 5 out of every 1,000 patients treated."

[Clarice]

[narciso]

Yes, I am, that detail is not as important as this other item, at the end;

Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz, 1950, as part of a program where American doctors and agricultural experts sought to help jump-start developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, returning to Chicago in 1963.[3]

In 1966 her mother, Barbara T. Bowman, was one of four child advocates that created the Erikson Institute. The Institute was established to provide advanced knowledge in child development for teachers and other professionals working with young children.[4]

"Valerie Jarret was born in Iran. Did you guys know that? "

Why I Asked For A Recount, What We Learned, and Why You Should Care

Wanggaard:

"While people across the state were required to sign the poll list before receiving a ballot to prevent fraud, hundreds of voters in Racine did not. In Racine, poll books were missing dozens of pages, missing names or addresses, and contained wrong information. For hundreds of clerks across Wisconsin, including every other community in Racine County, the poll books were in perfect order. In every other municipality, ballot bags were sealed properly on election night. But in the city of Racine, 20% of the wards had ballot bags that were sealed and reopened, or never sealed at all. All of these discoveries raise serious, and troubling questions."

Sounds to me like he wants to push it, but is uncertain that it will produce anything except excuses of the "Gosh, we inadvertently screwed up, so sorry" variety.

Lightning struck a tree next to the garage where we were sheltering during a neighborhood cookout once. Blew several people about 25 feet into the yard. Two required CPR and hospitalization. One of them was blown out of his shoes which were smoking several minutes later.

Then we noticed his house caught on fire as the lightning forked and evidently hit several things at once. Damage to the attic but luckily the paras and the firetrucks both responded. Scary as hell.

Nice little thunderstorm here right now. The TV is on mute and the rain is falling. So much for Berman. :)

Daddy, Wanggaard is an ex cop. He was very deliberate asking for the recount. The MSM has ignored the fraud side so far. The question is whether $1-200,000 spent on this lawsuit will get anyone to pay attention. I have no idea how the RPW or Priebus are pushing him. I agree that he wants to pursue it -- to uncover the crimes if for no other purpose.

"Not everyone can be as brave and frankly fearless as you..."

It appears that everyone is, except those comical Texas Rangers. A true laff riot, that bunch.

Never been to Racine in my life. I went and looked up demographics and its approx 21% black so more than the US average. Any chance that the shenanigans were basically confined to the inner city precincts Henry? I dont think you pull this level of noncompliance except where you are certain everyone is in on it and any monitors can be intimidated and silenced.
