This story demonstrates the incompetency of the WH. The pianist picked the piece and stated that he did so to make Chinese feel good about the military power of China. The station that broadcaset the concert is very sympathetic to the ChiComs. The incompetent people in power in our government didn’t have a clue what was going on. That is the very depressing part.

““My Motherland” having been played at the White House will be seen as a propaganda triumph in China.

“In the eyes of all Chinese, this will not be seen as anything other than a big insult to the U.S.,” says Yang Jingduan, a Chinese psychiatrist now living in Philadelphia who had in China been a doctor in the Chinese military. “It’s like insulting you in your face and you don’t know it, it’s humiliating.”

“At the White House State dinner on Jan. 19, about six minutes into his set, Lang Lang began tapping out a famous anti-American propaganda melody from the Korean War: the theme song to the movie “Battle on Shangganling Mountain.”

The film depicts a group of “People’s Volunteer Army” soldiers who are first hemmed in at Shanganling (or Triangle Hill) and then, when reinforcements arrive, take up their rifles and counterattack the U.S. military “jackals.”

The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades. CCP propaganda has always referred to the Korean War as the “movement to resist America and help [North] Korea.” The message of the propaganda is that the United States is an enemy—in fighting in the Korean War the United States’ real goal was said to be to invade and conquer China. The victory at Triangle Hill was promoted as a victory over imperialists.”

I think you’re absolutely right on. In the coming stuggle for the last bastion of freedom in the world the only weapons (oh will that get me thrown in jail? should I say “tools”) we have against a thoroughly leftist judiciary may be the jury and the grand jury.

We need to exploit these “tools.”

It really does matter what your philosophy is.

“We are close to a time when all of humankind
will envision a global agenda that encompasses
a kind of Global Marshall Plan to address the
causes of poverty and suffering and
environmental destruction all over the earth.”
- Al Gore,
Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“In Nature organic growth proceeds according
to a Master Plan, a Blueprint. Such a ‘master plan’ is
missing from the process of growth and development of
the world system. Now is the time to draw up a master plan for
sustainable growth and world development based on global
allocation of all resources and a new global economic system.
Ten or twenty years form today it will probably be too late.”
- Club of Rome,
Mankind at the Turning Point

“The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable,
indeed a sacred principle of international relations.
It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to
the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.”
- UN Commission on Global Governance report

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything and
it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be faced squarely.
Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer well
suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature
of many of today’s problems do not always allow elected
representatives to make competent decisions at the right time.”
- Club of Rome,
The First Global Revolution

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The emerging ‘environmentalization’ of our civilization
and the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global
community will inevitably have multiple political consequences.
Perhaps the most important of them will be a gradual change
in the status of the United Nations. Inevitably, it must
assume some aspects of a world government.”
- Mikhail Gorbachev,
State of the World Forum

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I envisage the prinicles of the Earth Charter to
be a new form of the ten commandments.
They lay the foundation for a sustainable
global earth community.”
- Mikhail Gorbachev,
co-author of The Earth Charter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“In my view, after fifty years of service in the United Nations system,
I perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper
Earth government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present
political and economic systems are no longer appropriate
and will lead to the end of life evolution on this planet.
We must therefore absolutely and urgently look for new ways.”
- Dr Robert Muller,
UN Assistant Secretary General,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Nations are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty
to the international community and beginning to create a
new system of international environmental governance
as a means of solving otherwise unmanageable crises.”
- Lester Brown,
WorldWatch Institute

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Adopting a central organizing principle...
means embarking on an all-out effort to use every
policy and program, every law and institution...
to halt the destruction of the environment.”
- Al Gore,
Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound
reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world
has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both
governments and individuals and an unprecedented
redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift
will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences
of every human action be integrated into individual and
collective decision-making at every level.”
- UN Agenda 21

which is nature’s proper steward and society’s only hope.”

“If we don’t overthrow capitalism, we don’t have a chance of
saving the world ecologically. I think it is possible to have
an ecologically sound society under socialism.
I don’t think it is possible under capitalism”
- Judi Bari,

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the
industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn’t it our responsiblity to bring that about?”
- Maurice Strong,
founder of the UN Environment Programme

“The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another
United States. We can’t let other countries have the same
number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US.
We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”
- Michael Oppenheimer,
Environmental Defense Fund

“Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty,
reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.”
- Professor Maurice King

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place
for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and
plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams,
free shackled rivers and return to wilderness
millions of acres of presently settled land.”
- David Foreman,
co-founder of Earth First!

“Complex technology of any sort is an assault on
human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to
discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy,
because of what we might do with it.”
- Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the
worst thing that could happen to the planet.”
- Jeremy Rifkin,
Greenhouse Crisis Foundation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the
equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.”
- Prof Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“My three main goals would be to reduce human population to
about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure
and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species,
returning throughout the world.”
-Dave Foreman,
co-founder of Earth First!

“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the
affluent middle class - involving high meat intake,
use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning,
and suburban housing - are not sustainable.”

selfish and unethical animal on the earth.”

“A total population of 250-300 million people,
a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
- Ted Turner,

more than 500 million but less than one billion.”
- Club of Rome,

there is more go to the website. It explains why they support abortion & why they support taking over the food supply — all our leaders corporate, political, art are convinced that the people who support their lavish lifestyles — flying around the world to go to meetings to figure out how to kill off the rest of us so that they & their progeny can go to wild untouched wilderness without any rednecks to interrupt their vacations.

Let the bears eat them & all their younglings.

Good find. I like the follow-the-money part:

“The case of ENRON (a now bankrupt Texas energy firm) is illustrative in this respect. Before disintegrating in a pyrotechnic display of unscrupulous manipulation, ENRON had been one of the most intense lobbyists for Kyoto. It had hoped to become a trading firm dealing in carbon emission rights. This was no small hope. These rights are likely to amount to over a trillion dollars, and the commissions will run into many billions. Hedge funds are actively examining the possibilities; so was the late Lehman Brothers. Goldman Sachs has lobbied extensively for the ‘cap and trade’ bill, and is well positioned to make billions. It is probably no accident that Gore, himself, is associated with such activities. The sale of indulgences is already in full swing with organizations selling offsets to one’s carbon footprint while sometimes acknowledging that the offsets are irrelevant. The possibilities for corruption are immense. Archer Daniels Midland (America’s largest agribusiness) has successfully lobbied for ethanol requirements for gasoline, and the resulting demand for ethanol may already be contributing to large increases in corn prices and associated hardship in the developing world (not to mention poorer car performance). And finally, there are the numerous well meaning individuals who have allowed propagandists to convince them that in accepting the alarmist view of anthropogenic climate change, they are displaying intelligence and virtue For them, their psychic welfare is at stake.”

Lindzen is good -— one of my first “Wow! He’s right!” reads a few years ago.

“What’d they do?
Withhold their M&M”s???”

I believe FLOTUS is working on that

Speaking of lunch, the choice bits:

“Concannon revealed a much more ambitious agenda, saying “our goal is to provide a systematic and a reliable way for children across the country to get adequate nutrition 365 days a year.”

That really sums it up. The Obama administration seeks to feed this nation’s children all year round — not just when school is in session.”

“When is Obama, as he promised in the campaign, going to go through the federal budget line by line and cut wasteful spending? On his last day in office after a second term when he’s instituted or expanded 5,000 new federal programs?”

Well shaping up to be quite a newsworty event — doesn’t matter what the o says — only thing anybody will care about is where the critters sit.

Symbol over substance.

TAKE NAMES !

“Yeah, and the dems and the rinos want to intermingle at the SOTU address and that’s just another democrat ploy. I know this thread ain’t about that but it’s so pissing me off I can’t hardly see straight.

I’ve got another idea: Any pubbie that wants to sit over on the dem side can just stay there permanently, and become a full fledged leftist democrat. Good riddance.”

I agree with you 100%. Let McCain & Snowe & Brown go sit with the dimmies.

So much for kumbaya

“Turn the calendar back to Feb. 10, 2007. Then-Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential announcement speech said of the digital age: “Let’s lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities and rural towns all across America.”

He was making the Internet a vital part of his campaign, and his equal-access mantra recruited an early net neutrality constituency.

On June 21, 2007: John Podesta, head of the Center for American Progress, released a report co-written by Free Press that complained about conservative radio talk shows outnumbering progressive radio talk shows.

Free Press got all the attention for demanding the FCC make them equal, but the report helped one of CAP’s co-authors, senior fellow Mark Lloyd, into a job as Obama’s FCC Diversity Czar.

In November, 2007: Genachowski released the report of Obama’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications Policy Working Group, which he had been leading for months. It showed him using the Internet as an Obama constituency manufacturer and mobilizer.

His report bragged: “More than 280,000 people have created accounts on barackobama.com. These users have organically created over 6,500 grassroots volunteer groups and have organized more than 13,000 off-line events using the site.”

When Obama won on Election Day 2008, the constituency list had grown enormously, and they didn’t throw it away.

Podesta, co-leader of the Obama transition team, might want it to help fill positions in the new administration. Same with Genachowski, enlisting brain power for the transition’s Technology, Innovation, and Government Reform Group.

After Inauguration Day, both men knew what was in the constituency list and both had the expertise to mobilize it. Podesta went back to running CAP, and Genachowski became chairman of the FCC — where he created a new position for Podesta’s colleague.

It’s only a guess, but when they were ready to mobilize the foundations and activists into a phony net neutrality mass movement, it probably didn’t take more than a few phone calls.

By the way, Genachowski isn’t just Obama’s old law school buddy. He’s a digital multimillionaire who once served on the Boards of Directors of Expedia, Hotels.com and Ticketmaster.”

Mother Gaia loves her little sea creatures: four legs good two legs bad.

Besides when you get really hungry & gov gives you your people kibble (call it “science diet”), after you wait in the long grey line at the distribution trucks, you will be grateful and do what your told. Oh, you get your water bottle refilled too. (You can’t refill it yourself because gov owns the rivers and streams & you can’t collect the rain water or the aquifers won’t fill up & the “scientists” can’t guarantee that it’s “safe” so only gov water is allowed or you’re a right-wing extremist.) It’s for the good of the children.

It’s deals like this that are destroying our country. If DOD or executive branch has a suggestion about spending money to rennovate or change some facilities then it should be submitted as a bill to Congressional debate. Exchanging for votes subverts congressional deliberation on both sides — the bill being voted and the expense of the bribe.

I would hope the new tea members keep that in mind. There should be no compromise which moves the government in a centralized, socialized, globalized direction. It does not work. People are poorer and individual choice is narrowed. I am depressed the pubbies would even consider mixed sitting at the next State of U address. Not only does it break a long tradition but does not send the kind of strong message to the commies in power about their resolve.

Of course I would expect McCain and Brown and Snowe to go sit with their constituents showing exactly how willing they are to compromise.

It is depressing to see new tea reps willing to compromise.

Thank you very much for the information. Maybe you could post the report?

This is a wonderful example of do-gooders in action. Thanks for that bit. Is there anything published anywhere? Should be.

Thanks for link about Loughner attending Obama/Ayers funded school. Interesting ammo uhhhh..... gosh are they going to arrest me for saying that?
