Stark Naked

#494

In Hans Christian Anderson's story The Emperors New Suit, written in 1837, the crowds were cheering as the Emperor rode by in his carriage. In the politically correct, state controlled, brainwashed populous of his time (just as today's Democrats) only one small boy had the courage to point out to the people that the Emperor did not have on any clothes, he was naked. About 30 years ago, when I walked through the Hans Christian Anderson house in Copenhagen Denmark, I thought of this story as well as his story of the little girl who sold matches. It never occurred to me that I would live to see a naked Emperor (President Obama) or children trying to stay warm in an era of global warming as the earth was in it's coldest winter in years...heading for a predicted global freeze. All this because of the liars of government and media, and the greed and immorality of such pseudo-scientists as the great Al Gore, John Edwards, Tiger Woods and New York's Governor, Paterson. In fact, we can say with all sincerity the entire congress, representatives and senators, are all “stark naked”.

America pays a tremendous price for energy resources transported from our enemies, from all over the world while, at the same time, sitting on a wealth of energy...Alaskan oil, Western coal and natural gas reserves on each coast. The Democrats, through their illustrious leader Mr. Obama, speak of green energy production. It will take 76 million wind turbines to supply our energy needs...when, at the same time, many of the great Democrats do not want to view these turbines just as coastal residents are afraid they will see a petroleum pumping derrick from their beach. Democrats for years prevented the building of refineries and all over Democrat voting strongholds we found the signs, “No Nukes”. Now, all of a sudden, Democrats love nuclear generating power plants...such clean energy. Then the fight will be over the disposition of the waste from these plants. The fight over Yucca mountain storage has ended before it began because of the fault lines.

The recent Obama budget was 3.8 trillion...exactly twice the budget of ten years ago.

Stark naked and sickening beyond words to explain, the adventure in the Blair house last week at which time the corrupters of Federal government in absolute deference to the 50 sovereign states pretended to provide national healthcare to the citizens of this republic. Mr. Obama, with an IQ of 145 dominated the sessions because, as he said, “I am the President” (Known for his stupidity, Governor Schwarzeneggar has an IQ of 135 but Sharon Stone has an IQ of 143 and Lisa Kudrow has an IQ of 154). I became ill as I heard Charlie Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, still being investigated for tax evasion, talk of his concern for the citizens of this nation and, Nancy Pelosi who always seems intoxicated by her power, spoke of her concerns for the tax payers (how much concern did she have for the tax payers when on her trip to Copenhagen she had a 100,000 dollar liquor bill?). How concerned were these civil service masters and corrupt politicians when bailing out banks...to make it simple...one who could not afford a 500,000 dollar house...deserted same house, and the government in it's bailout largess gave the bank it's 100,000 dollar difference. Almost as insane, Goldman Sachs, with taxpayer money, bailing out it's friends with bonuses and even lending money to a floundering Greek government.

Greece, changing it's drachma for the euro bill, is in a state of financial desperation. 1/4th of all Greek business is now done “under the table”...no receipts, no record of transactions. Your greatest business expense is bribing the tax collector. In order to get healthcare you bribe the doctor. For your child to get education, you bribe the teacher. In the book, “The Misfortune of Being Greek”, in Socrates time, and the greatest civilization known to man, the Greek society, a warrior had rather return to Athens dead on his shield than to discredit his country in any way by dishonesty or as a traitor.

The bloated civil service, as in America, has produced a class of citizens who feel they must get a government check every month as an entitlement. In Greece, as in America, we have a spoiled decadent society. The European union is about to fail into obscurity because Greece has lost it's way and the countries of Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal are just behind. Sovereign nations, with sovereign borders, traditions, and history, actually thought they could jump into a mutual cauldron...that what was good for one was good for all forgetting their past wars and competition. I never could understand how a Muslim father could keep peace among his seven wives and their children. Once, in the Cameroons, I visited the “compound” of a Muslim ruler who had 59 wives. There were women doing different chores in different areas of the house...children everywhere. I asked him how he kept up with the wives or the children. He said, “that is not my job”.

Congress is clueless, not only about health care but everything else. Like a car, full of people, heading towards a cliff, Congress does not realize that each state is sovereign. Congress, because of states grabbing for bailout money, now expects the states to finance their “care of the people”. The states, simply mandate the expenses to the counties. It is at the county level with the tax appraisals of real estate and businesses that the general public will learn the expense of liberal tax and spend politics.

Don't go to the banks for help. The tax dollars with which the government bailed out the banks are now being loaned back to the government by the banks!

Again, this weekend, we had a horrific earthquake in Japan and Chile. The Chile earthquake was 500 times greater than the one which struck Haiti. As I stated in another commentary the time has come to prepare for these global catastrophes. The most important single preparation, drinking water to the victims. Human beings can survive a long time without food but must have water. Stupid beyond belief, we still ship in individual bottles of water. Much easier, large filtration systems to be used near rivers or ponds then, you no longer have the problem of empty bottles but you have water for emergency facilities such as tent field hospitals and tent cooking facilities. In earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods you always have the same problems. In India, on a train, (the rail bed was high enough that a train could go through a flooded area) I saw water pollution mostly because of dead bloated animals. I will never forget the appearance of the women with containers at every train stop trying to get water from the train for perishing children. When will we learn, the stark naked truth, human misery cannot be taken lightly anywhere at any time?

During WWII every town had a civil defense area with large signs labeled CD. Here, everyone knew, they could find safety. Here, it was well known, there was storage of water, food and medical supplies. It is time for civil defense around the world. As in football, the greatest defense is a good offense, action not reaction.
