With great thanks to Dutch fellow Conspirator Andre Somberg, we would like to draw your attention to something that has been out on the web for the past few days, and deserves multiple viewings, recommendations and high praise.

Shortly after attending the NH Liberty Forum between February 22 and the 25th, Andre mentioned that there was a documentary coming to British television that would surprise many people. Entitled "The Great Global Warming Swindle", the program is authoritative and solid in the science. It features scientists who were once attached to the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and who left in disgust over the political agenda they saw, and it also features many speakers who have appeared on "Against the Grain" and who have sound files available in our archives.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years

Let's allow NH Senator John Sununu to say it. His call for Gonzales to be fired has framed the issue well. Here is the text of his statement:

_________

During the next two years, our nation must address critical questions affecting the investigation, pursuit and prosecution of terrorism at home and abroad. In this effort, we must have a strong, credible attorney general who holds the confidence of Congress and the American people.

I do not believe Alberto Gonzales can fill that role. The president should fire the attorney general and replace him as soon as possible with someone who can provide strong, aggressive leadership prosecuting the war on terrorism, running the Department of Justice, and working with the president and Congress on important homeland security matters.

The Bush Betrayal

As reported by many news organizations, Pope Benedict XVI made an unambiguous announcement today that Catholics must oppose abortion and homosexual marriage. He placed particular emphasis on the need for Catholic politicians to hold to those standards.

Here is the Washington Times report. Your religion is your own choice, but Politicians make choices for others. It is up to you to decide where government should be playing a part in any of these issues.:
_____
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI yesterday set out "nonnegotiable values" as he urged Catholic lawmakers to oppose laws favoring divorce, abortion, homosexual "marriage" and euthanasia.

Once more, the unconstitutional federal drug prohibitions have been upheld by judges who seem more interested in serving political agendas than in serving justice or the US Constitution.

In a continuation of a case that went to the Supreme Court two years ago, a 41 year old woman suffering from a tumor and scoliosis tried to bring a new defense to the table. She was rebuffed again. Here is the article from the AP:

Calif. appeals court rules against dying woman in medical marijuana case
By Associated Press.
Wednesday, March 14, 2007 - Updated: 05:10 PM EST

SAN FRANCISCO -- A California woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only medicine keeping her alive can face federal prosecution on drug charges, a U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The news has just been released that the US Circuit Court for DC has ruled against a 30 year old ban on handguns in the District of Columbia.

In the opinion, the justices noted that there was an INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms, and that this right is protected in the US Constitution.

Note, the phrase "Court strikes down gun ban" will often be used in reporting of this event. That is imprecise. The court has ruled on a certain CASE. The law will still stand, until the Congress eliminates it, or replaces it with something else. Functionally, the law is not going to be prosecuted, because all prosecutors and police would know that, based on the ruling of the court, any case they TRIED to prosecute would eventually go to the same justices upon appeal, and the justices would again rule against the prosecution for the violation of what they determine to be an unconstitutional law.

On Saturday, March 10, Gardner Goldsmith will be traveling to the Foundation for Economic Education, in Irvington, NY, to see Dr. Anna Ebeling offer her thoughts on growing up in the USSR. Both frightening, sad, and uplifting, her true stories of the economic hardship, the political idiocy, and the murderous activities of the communist rulers in the USSR are unforgettable. If you would like to join Gard, e-mail him at ELGGRANDE@msn.com. If you miss the chance, you can link to www.fee.org and then hit their audio link. The audio recording of Dr. Ebeling's speech should be posted there in a few days.

As has been noted by many Conspirators, the rationale often offered by politicians to support their continued control of the airwaves is that the radio spectrum is a "limited resource". Of course, being limited does not mean it ought to be owned by the government. In fact, it means just the opposite. A "scarce" resource ought to be husbanded through the drives of the consumers in the market, not politically driven special interests and Congressmen. One could argue that TREES are, at any given time, a limited resource, because we could, potentially use them all up without enough to replace them. But, even if this were the case, it would not convince anyone that the federal government should regulate the content of books, newspapers and magazines.

Gardner Goldsmith's latest piece, in which he takes on John Edward's concept that charity begins with government bureaucrats and that Jesus Christ would be "appalled" by the selfishness of Americans, has just been published by Human Events, the longest-running conservative publication in America.

Those selfish people. How dare they keep publishing? Here is the link: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19731

Speaking to a website interviewer from Beliefnet.com, the former US Senator and current Presidential candidate claimed, "I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs," Edwards told the site. "I think he would be appalled, actually."

This is the same man who supports federally funded abortions, for those of you who are interested in checking a supposed Christian's hypocrisy, and for those who aren't Christian, but perhaps believe in the philosophical tenets of the Judeo-Christian traditions that formed this nation, there IS this set of rules called the Ten Commandments. One of them is That Shall Not Steal.

As noted in the Liberty Conspiracy pages, John Edwards knows how to cater to emotion. Too bad his ideas are anti-economic and unconstitutional.

As you will hear in another of our BRILLIANT Conspiracy audio files, Presidential candidate and former Senator John Edwards recently spoke in Berkely, CA, well-known as a location with MANY people hostile to his leftist POV. While there, he tried, as he has many times in the past, to tie the "plight" of union workers to the problem of low wages that he thinks government can solve through regulation and the redistribution of wealth.

Here is the piece:

Of course, his ideas don't work, and have been proven wrong-headed over and over. But he is catering to emotion, not logic or ethics.

Just like Hillary Clinton credited her name to the trek of Sir Edmund Hillary to the top of Mt. Everest, but had been born BEFORE he made the journey, Barak Obama (or is it Irish, written O'Bama?) has credited a race march that happened AFTER he was born for bringing his parents together... Is Doctor Who playing matchmaker? And in all seriousness, can one trust people who will lie with such impunity? Why not just be honest and attract people to your IDEAS, Barak?

Here is part of the report, from Jake Tapper, of ABC News:

By JAKE TAPPER

March 5, 2007 — Sunday's march in Selma, Ala., may have been a sacred commemoration of the "Bloody Sunday" civil rights march of 1965, but beneath it all lurked raw politics, with Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., competing fiercely for black voters.

In the latest witch trial-like permutation of the "anthropogenic global warming" cult, a group of Canadians wants the US Government cited for "human rights violations" over the change in temperature that they claim is caused by man.

Since, they say, the US uses the largest proportion of oil and emits the most CO2, we should be held responsible for hunters falling through thin ice.

Of course we should!

Here is the text of the piece, from Worldlink.com, and after you read it, you might want to read our friend Mac Johnson's piece on what the US CREATES with its use of oil and release of CO2. We are far more productive than any major nation in this regard. The piece by Mac can be found here

Greenhouse sceptics to congregate

Katharine Murphy and Brendan Nicholson, Canberra and Richard Baker

Latest related coverage

HARD-CORE global warming sceptics will descend on Canberra today for the release of a book claiming environmentalism is the new religion.

Former mining executive Arvi Parbo will launch Ray Evans' new publication, Nine Facts About Climate Change, at a function at Parliament House.

The book claims climate change is nothing new and declares Howard Government investments in solar power and in cleaning up coal a "complete waste of taxpayers' money".

The latest development in the religion that man is creating global warming and can also stop or slow its progress, is this idea from the United Nations: Tax carbon, and create a "Global Temperature Ceiling". YEAHH!

Very exciting, yes, yes...

Here is the article. Refer to the Dutch study mentioned here earlier as a way to compare approaches to politics and science.

Climate Panel Recommends Global Temperature Ceiling, Carbon Tax
By Peter Heinlein (GROK! - ed)
United Nations
28 February 2007

A panel of scientists has presented the United Nations a detailed plan for combating climate change. VOA's correspondent at the U.N. Peter Heinlein reports the strategy involves reaching a global agreement on a temperature ceiling.

The Hollywood adoration of Al Gore couldn't stop the facts about his hypocrisy from being exposed. In fact, all one has to do is THINK about his work to realize that he subsumes his environmental objectives for his own personal pleasure.

Here is a good piece from the AP on Gore's exposure during this supposed time of anthropogenic global warming:

Group: Gore a Hypocrite Over Power Bill

Feb 27 11:40 PM US/Eastern

By KRISTIN M. HALL
Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Al Gore, a leading voice against global warming, is being criticized by a conservative group that claims his Nashville mansion uses too much electricity. A Gore spokeswoman said the former vice president invests in enough renewable energy to make up for the home's power consumption.

One of the many sharp individuals visiting the NH Liberty Forum between Feb 22 and 25 was a man from the Netherlands named Andre Somberg. Andre, a technical entrepreneur, has been watching a large number of issues, and has supplied the Conspiracy with details of an independent report that counters many of the spurious claims made by the politicized IPCC of the UN.

The author of the report is a man named Arthur Rorsch, who is a retired Dutch scientist in the field of climatology. It comes in the form of a Powerpoint presentation, and here are a few of his key points about the IPCC and its political agenda:

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years

We have often cited at the Conspiracy the trio of points that government restrictions on immigration politicize what ought to be market processes, retard economic productivity, and are unconstitutional on a federal level.

The debate on the other side of the statist isle has usually been whether the feds should allow lots of immigrants to stay, or ship them back, whether the federal government should build a wall along our southern border, or allow passes to the people who comply to their rules; whether to spy on businesses to see if they are hiring "illegals", or let them do their business.
