Britain has its own Climate Change Secretary, Ed Millband. Britain also has its own Climate Change Act. The price of combating “climate change”? 20,000 British pounds per family. The Mail accuses Millband of massaging the government spending statistics secretly to mask the increased spending, which is now over 400 billion pounds.

Pravda comments on FDR’s famine

Posted By on May 7, 2009

From Pravda, a year-old article commenting on Franklin Roosevelt’s policies of “defarming” and work camps. Specualtive research, handle with care.

We no sooner asked the question and lo! we soon found an answer, from Foreign Affairs, of all places. (more…)

Is Undoing the same as progress?

Posted By on May 1, 2009

If technological progress culminates in the project of the global grid control system, and if free trade agreements subvert national constitutions and laws in favor of the three-region global control model, should we interpret every setback or Undoing of this global control system as genuine progress?
