This is so typical of how the CONgress critters like to pretend that they are being a watchdog on the administration.

Dennis Kucinich presented 35 articles of impeachment against Bush on the floor of the senate, yesterday. There's just one problem there, Denny... you're about 7 years too late. He's about to leave office, anyway. Idiot.

Bush should have been impeached and prosecuted for his crimes against our country a long time ago. The only problem is that who would replace him? Dick Cheney? He's been running this country from the back seat all along, if the truth were told. Old friend-shooting Despot Dick, with his psychotic stare and his appetite for Armageddon, would take over as the administrative letter opener in the Oval Office. Would the no-bid contracts for Halliburton end with a Despot Dick presidency?

The Kucinich move is nothing less than a political ploy to make it look like democrats have been doing a stellar job at being a watchdog on the evil republicans. It is just more dialectical B.S. and it will go absolutely nowhere. Even if they are successful at impeaching Bush, will they remove him from office a few months before he would have departed anyway?

When Clinton was impeached he stayed in office. He was never prosecuted for his crimes. In fact, Ken Starr's investigation didn't even address the real issues for which Clinton should have been impeached. It was all about his relationship with the metabolically-challenged whore that he had in the Oval Office.

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but Bush will leave office at his scheduled time. That is, assuming that he doesn't declare martial law, suspend what's left of the constitution, and decide to stay. He has joked about it, you know.

We have been getting pounded! As one storm front moves out, leaving damage and power outages in its wake, another rolls in from the lake immediately following. There haven't been many days that we haven't gotten rain and thunderstorms. We have gotten several inches of rain this month, and we've just entered June. Rivers and streams are close to cresting, and there are more boomers in the forecast.



Over the weekend, at least six people died as a result of the storms. In Allegan county, a 51 year-old woman and her 17 year-old nephew were out delivering newspapers. They both died when the road they were driving on collapsed into a washed-out ravine. They fell 40 feet. Another woman in Eaton county was also killed when a trailer blew over the top of her, crushing her. There were tornado warnings in a dozen counties on our peninsula.



So, needless to say, summer has arrived and we're finally getting the severe weather it brings.



Despite it all, I was able to get outside, do some badly needed yard work, and break ground for a new garden. I had wanted to already have it seeded by now, but my rototiller has been down. Plus, we've had an unusually cool spring this year. It kept frosting late into May. I'm almost glad that I didn't plant much earlier.

Nevertheless, things are moving and with the food shortages coming, everyone who can should be gardening. Those who are unable, should be stocking up on as much as they can get from the store. Don't wait for someone else to take care of you. We can all look back to the Katrina fiasco to see just how well the authorities intend to take care of you.

On other fronts, I've noticed that our CONgress critters are in the process of debating the bill that will begin to charge you a tax on your usage of the air. Many people, myself included, have warned how detrimental a carbon tax would be to our economy. Don't think for a second that the Capitol Hill prostitutes don't know this. In fact, this is the very reason why the senate refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol back in 1997.

The current bill, referred to as the "Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008" is another attempt to establish what amounts to a "life" tax in the u.S. If you think you're paying high prices to heat your home and drive to work now, then wait until they get this baby into place!

What's worse, is that there is nothing you can do without emitting CO2 into the atmosphere. That's why I called it a "life" tax.

The way it works in Europe and other places that have adopted it, is that businesses and individuals have to pay for carbon credits. Now, bear in mind that these carbon credits are issued by the World Bank. That means that the globalists are now officially charging you for your air, like they own it.

The purported purpose of carbon credits, aside from raping the population, is to lower emissions. Hence, they are naturally in short supply and high demand. Anything that is in short supply and high demand is expensive.

This immediately gives small businesses a major disadvantage, competitively. When huge multi-national corporations can buy up the carbon credits, driving up the prices, smaller businesses will be squeezed out.

Individuals will be forced to drastically scale back their lifestyles (as if they haven't been forced to do this already!). Businesses from which they buy goods and services will be passing down costs to them, while they, themselves, will be forced into purchasing their "personal" carbon credit allowance.

All of this goes on, while the so-called "science" of global warming is very much the source of much contention, debate, and uncertainty within the scientific community. I have talked to numerous atmospheric scientists who disbelieve global warming is even happening.

It seems to this observer that the only "scientists" who really believe in global warming, and that humans are the cause of it, are the "scientists" that receive grant money from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, some major foundation, or a socialist university.

This is why we see that "Science For Sustainable Development" is the title of Chapter 35 of the United Nations' Agenda 21. It says,

"Scientific knowledge should be applied to articulate and support the goals of sustainable development..."

Gee, I thought that the purpose of "scientific knowledge" was supposed to be to support the truth, whether or not it fits your political agenda. That isn't the way the United Nations says it in Chapter 35. They go on...

"In the face of threats of irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific understanding should not be an excuse for postponing actions which are justified in their own right. The precautionary approach could provide a basis for policies relating to complex systems that are not yet fully understood and whose consequences of disturbances cannot yet be predicted."

Translation: If we cannot get all of the scientific community to agree with us, we need to implement our agenda of control, anyway.

How will they accomplish this?

Means of implementation

A) Financing and cost evaluation

35.8. The Conference secretariat has estimated the average total annual cost (1993-2000) of implementing the activities of this programme to be about $150 million, including about $30 million from the international community on grant or concessional terms." These are indicative and order-of-magnitude estimates only and have not been reviewed by Governments. Actual costs and financial terms, including any that are non-concessional, will depend upon, inter alia, the specific strategies and programmes Governments decide upon for implementation.

B) Scientific and technological means

35.9. The scientific and technological means include the following:

(a) Supporting new scientific research programmes, including their socio-economic and human aspects, at the community, national, subregional, regional and global levels, to complement and encourage synergies between traditional and conventional scientific knowledge and practices and strengthening interdisciplinary research related to environmental degradation and rehabilitation;
(b) Setting up demonstration models of different types (e.g., socio-economic, environmental conditions) to study methodologies and formulate guidelines;

(c) Supporting research by developing relative-risk evaluation methods to assist policy makers in ranking scientific research priorities.

They fund the scientists, the research projects, the universities, and give the recommendations to the policy-making prostitutes on the Hill. The whores on the Hill then introduce and pass crap like the "Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008", which, I predict, will be the final nail in America's economic coffin.

And people say the UN is just another useless, irrelevant think tank. We are living in UN America. Every policy, every UN resolution, every convention — they all matter because they are all being implemented right under our noses.

If only the American people could tear themselves away from the television...

Always wanting to bring you good news, instead of just all bad, the following is an encouraging development. -DW

Victory in Hage v. United States

Stewards of the Range
www.stewards.us

After seventeen long years in the US Court of Claims, Wayne and Jean Hage's taking case has finally been decided ... and it is a great victory for private property rights in America!

The Hages claimed that the federal government (US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management) had taken their western ranch, a combination of private base property and federal grazing allotments, through physical and regulatory takings. It is a landmark case because it was the first of its kind to pursue clarity on the property rights owned by ranchers in the west and to seek a precedent that if these rights are taken through grazing and environmental regulations, then the government must pay just compensation.

The court has decided that the Hages owned the water rights and the 1866 ditch rights of ways on the federal grazing allotments, and the range improvements the Hage's constructed on the federal lands. The court has ruled that although the government has the right to authorize grazing and cancel grazing permits, it does not have the right to prevent the ranchers from accessing their water rights on federal lands. It has ruled that regulatory and physical takings occurred, and therefore the government owes the estates of Wayne and Jean Hage just compensation and attorney's fees.

The members of Stewards of the Range, especially those who have been supporting this effort for the past 17 years, are directly responsible for ensuring this case endured the long battle. Without the Stewards members, this landmark decision would not be written in case law. The critical precedent and deterrent is now set that when land management agencies attempt to regulate away private property, they risk invoking a taking for which they must pay just compensation under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution.

Congratulations to the members of Stewards of the Range!

I took this photo Wednesday evening. I was standing on a mound of dirt, looking off to the west, and being attacked by the Michigan Air Force — more commonly known as "mosquitoes".

Recent thunderstorms have brought a lot of rain and standing water to the area. Temperatures are supposed to stay warm, after a start to spring filled with frost and very chilly weather. Perhaps, summer has finally arrived.

Chinese espionage is rampant in America today. No one has covered this fact better than Roger Canfield in his book China's Trojan Horses: Red Chinese Soldiers, Sailors, Spies Occupy America's Homeland. Though I don't agree with everything Mr. Canfield says about terrorism and terrorist attacks, I nevertheless place a high importance on his work regarding the China threat and I strongly recommend his book.

In light of Canfield and others who have written on the ongoing communist Chinese espionage which takes place in America every day, I submit the following, which was reported in Newsweek:

U.S. authorities are investigating whether Chinese officials secretly copied the contents of a government laptop computer during a visit to China by Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez and used the information to try to hack into Commerce computers, officials and industry experts told The Associated Press.

Surreptitious copying is believed to have occurred when a laptop was left unattended during Gutierrez's trip to Beijing for trade talks in December, people familiar with the incident told the AP. These people spoke on condition of anonymity because the incident was under investigation.

Gutierrez told the AP on Thursday he could not discuss whether or how the laptop's contents might have been copied.

"Because there is an investigation going on, I would rather not comment on that," he said. "To the extent that there is an investigation going on, those are the things being looked at, those are the questions being asked. I don't think I should provide any speculative answers."

A Commerce Department spokesman, Rich Mills, said he could not confirm or deny such an incident in China. Asked whether the department has issued new rules for carrying computers overseas, Mills said: "The department is continuing to improve our security posture, and that includes providing updates, guidances and best practices to staff to maintain security."

It was not immediately clear what information on the laptop might have been compromised, but it would be highly unorthodox for any U.S. government official to carry classified data on a laptop overseas to China, especially one left unattended even briefly. Modern copying equipment can duplicate a laptop's storage drive in just minutes.

The report of the incident is the latest in a series of worrisome cyber security problems blamed on China and comes at a sensitive time, with looming trade issues between the countries and special attention on China over the upcoming summer Olympics. Gutierrez returned just weeks ago from another trip to Beijing, where he noted he had "traveled here more than to any other foreign city during my tenure as commerce secretary." ...

The Pentagon, State Department and Commerce Department all have been victimized by widespread computer intrusions blamed on China since July 2006. Defense Secretary Robert Gates confirmed in September that parts of the Pentagon's unclassified e-mail system - used by Gates and hundreds of others - were disrupted in June 2007 due to a break-in.

The Commerce Department break-ins have been so serious that its Bureau of Industry and Security, which regulates exports of sensitive technology that might be used in weapons, effectively unplugged itself from the Internet. [Full Article...]

There is no question that China is actively preparing for a war with the U.S. China and Russia have been routinely and repeatedly engaging in war games together, pretending to be at war with the United States. Furthermore, China and Russia signed a friendship treaty in 2001. If one of them goes to war with the U.S., they both will go to war with the U.S.

Article 9 of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation Between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation states,

When a situation arises in which one of the contracting parties deems that peace is being threatened and undermined or its security interests are involved or when it is confronted with the threat of aggression, the contracting parties shall immediately hold contacts and consultations in order to eliminate such threats.

I am firmly convinced that the so-called "Cold War" was intended to put the west to sleep to the threat of communism. We are supposed to believe that Russia is no longer a threat, that "democracy" has taken root in Russia — note that democracy is really socialism and is not the American form of government. We are supposed to believe that Vladamir Putin, once the head of the Soviet KGB, has now turned into a cute, purring kitten.

Obviously, nothing could be further from the truth.

Even the spooks at the Council on Foreign Relations have admitted that Putin has been responsible for re-centralizing power in that country. And guess what... his excuse is that he needs to win the Russian war on terror! Sound familiar? Apparently, Mr. Putin is taking a page from the George W. Bush play book. You know what they say: Birds of a feather...

In mid-September, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans for a radical overhaul of his country's political system, with the goal of centralizing power in the Kremlin. Acting in the wake of the hostage crisis in Beslan, during which Chechen separatists killed hundreds of children, Putin claimed that his power grab was necessary to help Russia win its own war on terrorism. Whatever his motivations, the move represents a major step backward for Russian democracy. [Full Article...]

In America, it isn't called communism. When they say that communism is dead, what they really mean is that they've combined it with capitalism into a new third-way system of governance called "communitarianism". It is very similar to communism in that the individual possesses no rights. No rights to privacy, no rights to free speech, no rights to property. Instead, it is the "community" which has all of the rights. This is what is meant by the term "common good".

Our leaders will never take seriously the threat of communist Chinese espionage. If the truth were told, the international banking cartel at the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the World Bank, and the Bank for International Settlements are all in bed with the communists. These international organizations, along with the United Nations and its various offshoots were established by people possessing devout communists worldviews. These bankers are so powerful that they literally control the governments of the world, including the United States government.

Why else would we still be sending all of our jobs to a communist country that has threatened to nuke Los Angeles if we interfere with their attack on Taiwan? Why else would we be supporting their massive military buildup by purchasing their cheap, unsafe crap which fills our retail and grocery store shelves? Why else would our leaders keep in place trade policies which have caused massive deficits and have enabled our avowed enemies to hold so much economic leverage over our heads? As Canfield points out in his book, the largest U.S. export is empty containers, headed back to communist China to be refilled.

I'll ask the same question about China that I asked about Vietnam, when Bush made his historic trip there and praised the Vietnamese for their progress. Has China repented of its communism? Has communism become any less evil than it was during the so-called "Cold War"? If McCarthy was a kook, then why is our government aiding and abetting a country like China, which, to this day, terrorizes and oppresses its citizens, engages in widespread espionage and computer hacking of our nuclear facilities, and threatens to nuke our major cities if we don't comply with its wishes? Is it in our best interests to support such a state, while bankrupting our own?
