Invitation to Mr Al Gore for a debate on Climate change.
Mr Al Gore here is your opportunity to convince us all that your push for your cause is not just one big scam to enslave us all in the way of a great big tax and perhaps to enrich you in the process? I am sure your convincing ways would be no match for your opponent, although Lord Christopher Monckton seems to have some good pointers on the subject. Surely a good story need never get in the way of a few facts ?

Freedom from crisis driven hoaxes
One insidious aspect of huge government is its ability to so overwhelmingly fund a cause that it perverts it. The perverted cause becomes a government-supported industry whose purpose is to grow and feed itself like the rest of government. Its power, control and money grow at the expense of all we hold dear - like freedom, individual rights, productivity - but most especially, truth.
This article summarizes essential points of this aspect for the Global Warming fraud and the crisis-driven government-industry complex it has spawned.
The Global Warming Crisis is only one of several government-sponsored crises that have cut deeply into the rights, social structure, and productivity of the U.S and its citizens. It shows the 4-stage progression to oppression that huge government helps create for the power, control and money it offers itself and its affiliates.
Let me state these steps then tie them to what tyranny the global warming hoax has led us.
4 Stage Progression of Government-Supported Crisis to Tyrannical Control Massive government funding leads through 4 stages to a government and crisis-based affiliated complex that exercises tyrannical control over citizens. These stages are:
*Stage 1: A cause is identified for government funding - from a few facts found
*Stage 2: Cause is propagandized as a crisis for urgent solutions and government funding - from distorted projections of few facts
*Stage 3: Both funding and crisis-justified privileges instigate burgeoning agency affiliations. More facts are sought in support of the cause while crisis-justified privileges are demanded that negate freedom and rights of others. Propaganda grows and a party-line develops at the expense of facts and freedom.
*Stage 4: Government and the crisis-based affiliates form an incestuous complex exercising crisis-justified tyrannical control and power. Propaganda becomes essential for continuation and growth of primarily government funding. Facts are perverted to support the 'party-line' while opposing facts are suppressed. Those opposing the party-line are scorned and vilified.
The end result is a crisis-driven conglomerate of industries and agencies which is effectively a government- supported tyranny based on propaganda and the suppression of the 'facts', the truth, and people's freedoms.
Global Warming's stage 1 started from a study that showed temperatures were increasing - and more so as time went on. Stage 2 began with attributing the warming to increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere - trapping heat just like the glass of a greenhouse traps heat to keep the plants warm. But when the rising carbon dioxide appeared to track man's rise in industrial outputs it made global warming a man-made crisis. Funding takes off.
In Stage 3 countries setup agencies to deal with global warming and held international meetings to find ways to control future energy use. The 'carbon footprint' came into being. Extensive funding for global warming facts, projections, and solutions gave us 'global warming-friendly' ones. The party-line perverted results and interpretations while pushing for more control over people and industries. Global warming propaganda grows to convince the people it's all settled science and those opposing it are crackpots. Government funding rises.
Stage 4 explodes on the scene with national and international programs and meetings to decide how politicians and money-hungry scientists will control industry. Unlimited and endless funding is forthcoming for all those 'on board' the Global Warming train with hundreds of billions-of-dollar-consequences to our industrial lives. The propaganda has the public and media on board.
The Fraud Exposed:
Fortunately, many brave scientists objected to and proved how fraudulent or irresponsible the facts and assertions that supported global warming were. They did it on their own 'dime', and faced being labelled heretics defying the 'settled science' and threatened with loss of their positions and future prospects too.
But it was only when the emails exchanged among the global warming proponents were 'hacked into' that 'Climate-Gate' became a major media issue. The emails made it clear that concerted effort was going into covering up opposing data. Global Warming scientists had intimidated scientific journals to keep sceptics from publishing, and they had altered data to make the phony case for man-made global warming. NASA's Goddard Institute even stonewalled freedom-of-information efforts to hide the fraud and keep the money flowing.
A government funded crisis-based affiliate complex can pervert science and restrict truth to achieve their ends of money, power and control.
What we're left with:
We're left with much of the crisis-based complex. With the power they've assumed, they're spinning their way out of 'Global Warming' into 'Climate Change' to justify their support. It's almost impossible to tear this apparatus down. We're left with more government control and less freedom.
This is how big government grows bigger and more tyrannical. The divorce and domestic violence complex is another government-supported fraud that followed the same pattern.
It's time to expose frauds and reduce government. It's bigness is harmful to sustaining freedom.

Freedom to say no to Vaccines
One year ago this month, The Washington Post ran a story that not only extolled the use of the influenza vaccines but pushed for a new and improved version by saying, "Why wait for the pandemic to benefit from better flu vaccines?"(1) The story went on to say that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is planning to strengthen the flu shot "destined for the elderly" by adding an immune-boosting compound to the shot called an adjuvant.
An adjuvant is a substance added to produce a high antibody response using the smallest amount of virus (antigen) possible. By definition adjuvants are considered to be "pharmacologically active drugs." They are designed to be "inert without inherent activity or toxicity" and yet they are required to "potently augment effects of the other compounds" in the vaccines. It is difficult to explain how a substance can be defined as "pharmacologically active" and at the same time be described as "inert and have no activity or toxicity."
The limiting factor for approval of new adjuvants has been that most are far too toxic for use in humans. However, one adjuvant has been approved in Europe and its approval is on the way for use in the U.S. It is an oil-based adjuvant called MF-59, a compound primarily composed of squalene.
On first blush, squalene seems like a good choice for an adjuvant. Manufactured naturally in the liver, squalene is a precursor for cholesterol. In addition, squalene can be purchased at health food stores in its more commonly known form, "shark liver oil." However, ingested squalene has a completely different effect on the body than injected squalene. When molecules of squalene enter the body through an injection, even at concentrations as small as 10 to 20 parts per billion, it can lead to self-destructive immune responses, such as autoimmune arthritis and lupus.(3)
Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this reaction. Metabolically, squalene stimulates an immune response both excessively and nonspecifically. More than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers from ten different laboratories throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia have been published documenting the development of autoimmune disease in animals subjected to squalene-based adjuvants.(4) A convincing proposal for why this occurs includes the concept of "molecular mimicry" in which an antibody created against the squalene in MF59 can cross react with the body's squalene on the surface of human cells. The destruction of the body's own squalene can lead to debilitating autoimmune and central nervous system diseases.
The squalene in MF59 is not the only cause for concern. One of its components, Tween80 (polysorbate 80) is considered by vaccine manufacturers to be "inert" but is far from it. A study published in December, 2005 discovered that Tween80 can cause anaphylaxis, a sometimes fatal reaction characterized by a sharp drop in blood pressure, hives, and breathing difficulties. Researchers concluded that the severe reaction was not a typical allergic response characterized by the combination of IgE antibodies and the release of histamines; it was caused by a serious disruption that had occurred within the immune system.(5)
Vaccine manufacturer Chiron is already using MF59 in its European influenza vaccine for seniors called Fluid(TM). It remains to be seen if Chiron will gain approval for using this adjuvant-containing vaccine in the U.S. In the mean time--and for the first time--all children from age six months to five years will be targeted for the flu shot this fall. Expect even more children to be on the vaccine list as early as 2007; discussions are underway to mandatorily vaccinate the healthy five to nine year-old group as a school requirement.
A record 121 million doses of flu vaccine was produced for the 2006-2007 flu season and production is being ramped up to 140 million doses for the coming flu season. Be prepared for a huge push to get everyone vaccinated this fall. Consider it to be psychological pre-conditioning. The plan is to get each person ready--and eager--to roll up their sleeve for an injection of the "pandemic" flu vaccine when it becomes available.
Retaining freedom of choice will become increasingly important for those who want to refuse. Get politically active by joining the American Association for Health Freedom at health freedom, the organization on Capitol Hill that lobbies for a person's right to choose and the practitioners right to practice. Self-appointed experts at the WHO and the CDC who really believe the only way to survive a pandemic to be inoculated with viruses and chemicals will be pressuring you to comply. Don't let the bird flu vaccine become mandatory in your State.
When the media begins to, once again, shriek about the coming bird flu pandemic by urging everyone to be vaccinated, remember that the bird flu vaccine will be largely untested. Worse, it will be no more effective than the annual flu shot and there is a high probability it will contain MF-59.

Discipline equals Freedom
There is no better mantra for the procrastinator than discipline equals freedom. As a human you can only do so many things in a day. As a entrepreneur you let some of the things you have to do as a human override the time you need to generate business. What is one to do? Schedule. Discipline. Follow through. I have a knee jerk reaction to a tight schedule because I think it takes away from my freedom. That evil schedule has me doing all kinds of things I don't want to do and I have to do them because they are on the schedule. Not necessary. Make your schedule YOUR schedule. The secret to enjoying your day is to include enjoyment in time slots.
For example get your morning underway with waking up- giving your self time to do so and how you do it. Then start small- try scheduling 30 minutes of staring at the wall. Just try it. About 5 minutes into it you will be going crazy- I have this to do and then this and then.....breath. Keep staring. You will realize that you can't do it yet throughout the day you will do it to avoid something else. Don't avoid it.
The next day try a 5-10 minute break every hour. You will think you get no work done- take the break. Walk in a circle just take the break. By scheduling in fun and 30 minutes here and there in your day to watch a cartoon- cruise YouTube, check the failblog and other activities that seem to be unproductive you will find that they release the tension set out at the beginning of the day and you have ample time to stay on track- write that article or call that person. When you set up from 1 p.m. in the afternoon until 3 p.m. as the time to call people back you train your self and them that is your talk time- everyone including yourself will have freedom before and after that slot. Your brain space will be open to new ideas and have stare at the wall time to think about whatever.
With this type of disciplined scheduling comes freedom and with that you have a day full of fun, breathing in between lifting and look at the end of the day what you have accomplished both for your sanity and the to do list.
To Freedom!

Financial Freedom
"Financial Freedom" - The magical buzz words, lot of you might have heard yelled at you in radio's or whenever you attend a finance or investment seminars. It is very lightly used these days without any weight to the actual concept. Let us put some thoughts together to dwell on to understand better.
What does it exactly mean to be Financially Free?
I know many of you have the answer just right under your collar. That is, Financial freedom means "Earn more so I don't have to count each dollar I spend and not worry about paying my expense every month" Or "Make more money to spend like there is NO tomorrow".
Is that the answer you got or something close to it?
If you think you got the right answer, please I am sorry to say that you are wrong. It's not just you got the answer wrong, it's just general outlook is not syn with reality. When you search Google. You get the first result from Wikipedia as "Financial freedom describes a well-planned lifestyle where one no longer is required to work for income to cover their expenses...."
It's not just you you got it wrong. It's the people who started it all out and echo everyday so it is easy for them to mold to their own view point.
Like many of you I also thought that's the answer few years ago. We all think if we have more money that will solve all the problems. No, its not going to solve it. It's going create more problems and even bigger worries.
Financial freedom is not about having or earning more and spend whenever for whatever you want. According to me, "It' is all about being content with what you have(earn) now and manage to work within the boundary instead of stretching it long to get in debt". Its being self sufficient with the money you have and manage to spend wisely for all the expenses and grow it efficiently for the future. That's what I call Financial Freedom.
You might even have million dollars. If you don't manage it wisely, it will vanish in a month. With that million dollar comes great power and lot of responsibility. If you are not responsible enough to manage it, you will fail pretty soon and you still won't get to sleep well at night.
Let me take a simple example. For a scenario, we assume an average middle class American earns on average of $40,000 - $50,000 a year. If he makes an habit to work with this income limitation and make proper planning to take care of all the expenses and also manage to grow some money(10%) for the future that's what I call financially free. If you don't have debt you can't pay off and you have ability to manage and grow your hard earned money, that's simply financial free in its own version.
Our schools or college system, never teaches us lot about Money management unless you opt for finance course. Yet it will be more theoretical, money lessons can only be learned in a hard way by practical means. But you don't have to learn only from your experiences and mistakes, you can also learn from others mistakes. That's a wise way.
So don't make the mistakes others are making by going beyond your boundary unless you have the guts to pull back otherwise you will be in deep deep debt by inviting trouble. Watch out folks, don't just take the advise of you finance guru's or planners. Give it a thought and you will dwell on something on your own.

Seems that governments of various persuasions will stop at no ends in their perpetuation of the global warming hoax, designed to lump many citizens of the world with an evil tax that will extort even more cash out of their pockets.
Effectively this is an air tax and combined with an emission trading scheme it is really an attack on the freedom of the battlers in the world and will no doubt create many millionaires and billionaires as the wealth and power manipulators find a new method of grabbing even more wealth from powerless citizens.
The ASA in England has banned some government advertisements that may have falsely misled folks about the extent of global warming following many complaints from concerned citizens.
Ads banned for lying about global warming
