AL GORE JOINS THE CHORUS
Toward the end of 2006, Paramount Classics and Participant Productions released a theatrical film entitled An Inconvenient Truth hosted by former Presidential candidate, Al Gore. The message was the same as delivered by Tom Brokow [on the History Channel] a few months earlier: (1) Global Warming is a terrifying threat to the future of life on Earth; (2) Global Warming is caused by industrial development and human consumption of energy; (3) therefore, industrial development and consumption of energy must be controlled and curtailed by government.

The film’s scientific fallacies were masterfully exposed in another documentary, entitled The Great Global Warming Swindle produced in rebuttal by Channel 24, the public-service TV station in Great Britain. Scores of world-class scientists, many of whom are credentialed professors in their fields, state flatly that Global Warming is caused by solar activity, and that warming cycles like the one we are now experiencing have occurred many times throughout history. They prove their case with hard data showing that, over long periods of time, as sun-spot activity went up, so did Earth temperatures; and, as sun-spot activity waned, temperatures dropped. They show also that temperatures on Earth actually went down in previous years when human industrialization was increasing at its greatest rate.

In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore strode along a mammoth wall chart pointing to the close historical connection between Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere and Earth temperature. The two have always risen and fallen together. The studio audience was deeply impressed. Who could deny that CO2 was linked to Global Warming? However, in The Great Global Warming Swindle, climate scientists and professors explain that, yes, there is a connection between global temperatures and CO2 levels, but the connection is just the opposite of what Mr. Gore said.

Gore said that, because the two trends were aligned, it was CO2 that was causing warming; when, in fact, it is the other way around. A rise in temperature heats up the oceans and causes them to release huge amounts of CO2, far more than any other source on the planet. Historical records show that a rise in temperature always came before a rise in CO2 and, conversely, a drop in temperature always preceded a drop in CO2. Yes, the two trends are locked together, as Gore dramatically illustrated, but CO2 levels are the result of the process, not the cause of it. Did Mr. Gore know this? If he didn’t, he is incompetent. If he did, he is corrupt. Either way, his audiences were terribly misled.

AN INCONVENIENT STATEMENT
What motivates people like Brokow and Gore to mislead the public in this fashion? The answer was provided by Gore himself in an unguarded statement he made in 2006 during an interview by David Roberts for an environmentalist periodical called Grist. Roberts asked: “There’s a lot of debate right now over the best way to communicate about global warming and get people motivated. Do you scare people or give them hope? What’s the right mix?” Gore replied:

Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis. http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/05/09/roberts

When this statement found its way into the mainstream media via The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Gore’s defenders were quick to explain that “over-representation” does not necessarily mean falsification or exaggeration, and that what he was saying is that extra time needs to be spent on frightening people with the real threat of global warming in order to get their attention. However, even that sanitized version is quite revealing, because it shows that there is a well-calculated strategy for opinion engineering, to emotionally manipulate people into a receptive state of mind to accept Mr. Gore’s so-called “solutions.”

The purpose of the global-warming myth is to scare the daylights out of us with visions of massive planetary catastrophe. The images of global winter, global dessert, global storms and floods, global migration, global starvation, and global extinction of species is on a par with the terrifying images conjured up by the threat of terrorist attacks and nuclear war. In both cases, the intended reaction is an emotional, uncritical acceptance of any solution that may be offered. Who cares about the political and social consequences? With such visions of destruction before our eyes, who could think about anything else? Why worry about national sovereignty or property or privacy or even freedom when mankind is on the verge of extinction?

Such is the power of propaganda.

SLASH YOUR MORTGAGE!
This is not debt-consolidation, debt-cancellation, or something-for-nothing. It is an ethical way to trim years off your debt and eliminate huge amounts of interest.

Those who are familiar with my book, The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at the Federal Reserve, know that I am a strong advocate of getting out and staying out of debt. Consumer debt is a trap in which people find themselves working all their lives to make exorbitant interest payments.

Home ownership is different. It is a foundation for financial security even though it may require debt. If we don’t have sufficient capital to purchase a home outright, we have no choice but to borrow the balance, but excessive interest payments remain a serious problem.

There are numerous ways to reduce or eliminate interest payments, but the ones I have examined are too complicated, too expensive, or, in some cases, unethical. Now I have found one that has none of these handicaps and, frankly, I feel I have an obligation to tell you about it.

THE MONEY MERGE ACCOUNT (MMA)
Recently, I was introduced to a program that, although not new in concept, was unique in its implementation. The company is United First Financial, formed by two young men from the mortgage-lending business who wanted to help their clients acquire homes without being obligated to 20 or 30 years of debt. They developed a method to borrow money at one cost and use it to eliminate a much higher-cost mortgage. It is similar to rolling over a high-interest loan into a lower-interest loan, but the effect is a hundred times greater – and that is not an exaggeration. They call this unique program the Money Merge Account, or MMA.

I have examined this program closely and am happy to conclude that, not only does it work exactly as the company guarantees, it is entirely ethical as well. So I decided to add the MMA to the Reality Zone. If you are making mortgage payments, I highly recommend that you check it out. You will be amazed at the huge amount of interest you can eliminate and how much sooner you can achieve true home ownership.

SALT YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
A low-salt diet is good for you if you have high-blood pressure. WRONG! Says Dr. Brownstein. Here are the reasons for his view. He shows the errors that led early researchers to believe that low salt intake would reduce blood pressure and then presents studies showing a 400% increase in heart attacks among hypertension patients on a low-salt diet. He also shows the value of unrefined salt in combating Thyroid and Adrenal disorders. (More)

THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING
Here is the hard scientific proof that:
♦ The Earth has been hotter than it is now.
♦ Only a tiny portion of greenhouse gases are man-made.
♦ Most of Antarctica is getting colder.
♦ The media only recently abandoned the "global cooling" scare.
♦ Global warming has not made hurricanes worse.
Here are the facts to counter the global warming junk science that is being used to scare people into accepting the expansion of government. (More)

THE IRON TRIANGLE
Inside the Secret World of the Carlyle Group
The Carlyle Group is an investment consortium of international financiers and top level political figures who use their influence to obtain highly profitable U.S. government contracts. Their companies specialize in war production and also construction projects for rebuilding from the aftermath of war. Profit in, profit out. This book traces the unsavory history of this group and shows yet one more reason that the Bush Administration – which has close ties to Carlyle investors such as George H.W. Bush, James Baker, Donald Rumsfeld, Frank Carlucci, Paul Wolfowitz, and even King Fahd, king of Saudi Arabia – pursues a war policy that is not wanted by the American people but highly profitable to the Carlyle Group.

WHY STOMACH ACID IS GOOD FOR YOU; Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux & GERD
It is well known that a slight alkaline balance in our cells is healthy, but many are not aware of the importance of acid in the stomach. The stomach needs hydrochloric acid (HCL) to digest food and, if we take anti-acids or acid blockers, we create an environment in which incomplete digestion causes excess acid in the cells, and this can lead to all kinds of illnesses. Even without anti-acids, HCL production declines with age and should be supplemented. Heartburn and acid reflux often are caused by too little acid in the stomach, not too much. That’s because low acid in the stomach causes the valve at the base of the esophagus to relax and allow upward passage of what is in the stomach. Higher levels of acid cause the valve to stay closed and prevent the upward flow. There is much to learn about this topic, and this book has it all. (More)

AMERICA from FREEDOM to FASCISM
A documentary by Aaron Russo
An award-winning Hollywood producer sets out on a journey to find answers to questions about the legality of the income tax – but soon discovers that there is much more being hidden from public view than simple tax issues. What he discovers is a quiet conversion of the American political system from a constitutional republic to a democratic dictatorship modeled along the lines of fascism – and it is happening without the public even being aware of it. For Americans, there is nothing more serious or more important in their lives than the issue raised in this film. Even outside the US, this will affect every aspect of your personal existence in the very near future. When martial law arrives, it will be too late to change anything. We must act NOW. (More)
