Why we have a Muslim Problem 20 November 2015

 

Our muslim problem is a self-inflicted one as western liberals have used the importation of muslims, as well as Hispanics, into our midst as a means of fracturing our American culture and homogeneity.  It’s a part and becoming a very significant part of the liberal war on American culture, conducted under the liberal banner of “multiculturalism”.  We’ve all heard the term, probably are sick of hearing it as its one of our liberal’s favorite terms.

Liberalism has advanced in our nation and the West as a whole by basically wearing out the normal average citizen.  By making the citizens so tired of hearing about this or that, that they finally tune it out and move on.  By now, who really cares all that much about “multiculturalism”?  Have most of our citizens finally thrown their hands up in the air and have concluded that, while America has become somewhat balkanized, divided into groups, there is still such an overwhelming single American culture that our multi-cultures do not pose all that much of a risk to our nation?

Choosing the on-line Encyclopædia Britannica website to lift a definition of “multiculturalism” we find –

Multiculturalism, the view that cultures, races, and ethnicities, particularly those of minority groups, deserve special acknowledgement of their differences within a dominant political culture. 

That acknowledgement can take the forms of recognition of contributions to the cultural life of the political community as a whole, a demand for special protection under the law for certain cultural groups, or autonomous rights of governance for certain cultures. Multiculturalism is both a response to the fact of cultural pluralism in modern democracies and a way of compensating cultural groups for past exclusion, discrimination, and oppression 

Most modern democracies comprise members with diverse cultural viewpoints, practices, and contributions. Many minority cultural groups have experienced exclusion or the denigration of their contributions and identities in the past. Multiculturalism seeks the inclusion of the views and contributions of diverse members of society while maintaining respect for their differences and withholding the demand for their assimilation into the dominant culture. 

Multiculturalism stands as a challenge to liberal democracy. In liberal democracies (classic definitions, not liberal democrats!!), all citizens should be treated equally under the law by abstracting the common identity of “citizen” from the real social, cultural, political, and economic positions and identities of real members of society. That leads to a tendency to homogenize the collective of citizens and assume a common political culture that all participate in.

However, that abstract view ignores other politically salient features of the identities of political subjects that exceed the category of citizen, such as race, religion, class, and sex. Although claiming the formal equality of citizens, the liberal democratic view tends to underemphasize ways in which citizens are not in fact equal in society. Rather than embracing the traditional liberal image of the melting pot into which people of different cultures are assimilated into a unified national culture, multiculturalism generally holds the image of a tossed salad to be more appropriate. Although being an integral and recognizable part of the whole, diverse members of society can maintain their particular identities while residing in the collective. 

Some more-radical multicultural theorists have claimed that some cultural groups need more than recognition to ensure the integrity and maintenance of their distinct identities and contributions. In addition to individual equal rights, some have advocated for special group rights and autonomous governance for certain cultural groups. Because the continued existence of protected minority cultures ultimately contributes to the good of all and the enrichment of the dominant culture, those theorists have argued that the preserving of cultures that cannot withstand the pressures to assimilate into a dominant culture can be given preference over the usual norm of equal rights for all.

_______________________________________________________________________

The “culture war” that rages inside our borders is between the traditionalists who value traditional American Culture and the democrat party that deploys multiculturalism as a weapon to destroy it.  Logic dictates that if liberals win this battle, America will no longer be America, but rather a nation divided into irreconcilable groups seething with rage.  Liberals/Socialists/Democrats (LSDs) have been playing this divide and conquer game for several decades now and their assault on America has culminated with the two elections of Obama.  Whether America is lost remains to be seen, but we must grasp the fact that it is in critical condition.

Obama is not a product of the real world, but of radical academia.  Our colleges and universities are staffed by liberals, overwhelmingly.  More than 70 percent identify as liberals, less than 10 percent, conservatives.  The “elite” schools are even worse, 96 percent of the Harvard faculty vote for democrats.  Our schools have gone mad, where wild anti-white racism and anti-Americanism run rampant as we’ve noted this past week at several college campuses across America.

The education system has spent at least the last two generations bringing us to the point where we are today, where blacks, especially, are currently rioting on several campuses screaming “black lives matter”, intimidating and actually engaging in physical violence.  Now “racism” and “micro-aggressions” are discovered under every rock or turn of the page.

Going hand in hand with multiculturalism is “Political Correctness”, which means any speech must be such that it cannot be perceived as negative toward a minority group.  It’s not politically correct for instance, to say that nearly 80 percent of all violent crime is committed by blacks, or to say that homosexuals are up to 14 times more likely than the general population to commit suicide, or up to 7 times higher for alcoholism, or 19 times higher for drug abuse, or that the queer men make up 76 percent of our population with aids.  Near identical statistics used to be put out by our CDC until it became politically incorrect to do so.  The statistics just stated were from the Canadian Healthcare System report of earlier this year.

Rape, murder and other violent assaults on white European women by the muslim invaders in their midst dominates crime statistics from Europe.  There’s no use in repeating in this posting what you can easily find yourself on the internet.  Our main stream media, i.e. the democrat media has no intention of ever revealing the carnage and destruction that muslim invaders are wrecking in Europe because they actually want the exact same thing to take place here in America.  Obama and his crowd are dedicated to destroying American culture and islam is tailor made to be the wrecking crane to conduct this deconstruction of America.

However, just to spur you on to become an informed citizen, type in “muslim rape and assault statistics in Europe” in a search engine and read away.  Two quick examples are as follows:

In 2012, it emerged that over a thousand mostly white young girls in the northern England town of Rotherham were systematically groomed, trafficked, beaten and sexually abused by rape gangs consisting of mainly Pakistani Muslim men. A report released earlier this month confirmed that the local Labour government council and the police covered up this horror because they were afraid of being characterized as racist or politically incorrect. 

For over 15 years, criminal rape gangs were protected by the authorities because of their foreign ethnicity. Meanwhile, young girls were being beaten and raped, then ignored, labeled liars and left defenseless because they were white… 

Crime rates broken down by nationality in Denmark show that individuals from Muslim countries make up eight of the top nine places on the list. In addition, 2012 figures show that Somalis were sentenced for crimes, including innumerable sexual assaults, almost ten times more often than those with Danish citizenship. 

Indeed, more than half of all convicted rapists in Denmark have an immigrant background, according to official statistics, despite the fact that immigrants and their descendants account for less than 10 per cent of the population. “Iraqis, Iranians, Turks and Somalis are dramatically overrepresented among convicted rapists in Denmark,” reports BT.dk. 

When Lars Hedegaard, the President of the Danish (and International) Free Press Society, drew attention to these shocking statistics, he wasn’t hailed by feminist groups for shedding much needed light on the matter, he was found guilty of “hate speech” under section 266b of the Danish penal code… 

Since it embraced multiculturalism in 1975, Sweden has become the rape capital of the west, with only the tiny African nation of Lesotho recording more sexual assaults. 

Rapes in Sweden have skyrocketed by a shocking 1,472% since the mid-70’s, with 6,620 sexual assaults being reported to police in 2014 compared to just 421 in 1975. 

“77.6 percent of the country’s rapists are identified as “foreigners” (and that’s significant because in Sweden, “foreigner” is generally synonymous with “immigrant from Muslim country”), writes Selwyn Duke. “And even this likely understates the issue, since the Swedish government — in an effort to obscure the problem — records second-generation Muslim perpetrators simply as “Swedes.”… 

In Norway, almost half of all rapes committed in Oslo in 2011 were carried out by individuals of African, Middle Eastern or Asian origin, despite the fact that Muslim immigrants only represent 1.5-2 per cent of the population.In addition, 100 per cent of aggravated rapes involving physical violence were committed by individuals of African, Middle Eastern or Asian origin. 

Leftist political leaders responded to the figures by absolving “traumatized asylum seekers” of blame and instead pointed fingers at police for encouraging “xenophobia and prejudice” merely for reporting the statistics…(Infowars – Feminists Mute on Muslim Rape Epidemic Sweeping Europe, February 19, 2015)

From the website “digitaljournal.com” March 20, 2013, we read: 

Muslim gang-rapes across Europe under-reported in press

High profile-gang rapes in India have been in the headlines since December. The phenomenon is growing across Europe too, but tends to be under reported due to the high incidence of Muslim perpetrators hich makes it politically incorrect to mention.

In December 2011 a Swedish mother-of-two was subjected to a brutal gang-rape by 12 Afghan immigrants in a refugee camp in Mariannelund. Reports stated “The rape was oral, anal and vaginal sometimes with three rapists inside her at the same time while everybody was cheering and clapping. The gruesome rape marathon lasted for 7 hours. 11 suspects may have been involved taking turns while drinking and getting high on drugs. The asylum seekers were cheering and clapping their hands during the rape marathon while calling the victim “whore” and “slut”.”

And the democrats want to import this into America.  They appear to be gearing up for their final assault on America to at last conquer it and turn it into a socialist hell hole where they, our enlightened master will hold all of the power.

“We are not a nation that delivers children back into the hands of ISIS murderers because some politician doesn’t like their religion,” she continued, “and we are not a nation that backs down out of fear.”  Elizabeth Warren on the Senate floor 11/17/2015

“…we should increase numbers of refugees. The administration originally said 10 (thousand). I said we should go to 65, but only if we have as careful a screening and vetting process as we can imagine, whatever resources it takes.”  Hillary Clinton during the democrat debate 11/14/2015, one day after the Paris, France slaughter!!

“Apparently, they (Republicans) are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” the president said. “At first they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of 3-year-old orphans. That doesn’t seem so tough to me.”  Barack Hussein Obama

We might be inclined to say that these democrat leaders are simply fools, divorced from any sense of reality, but are they?  Or do they have an agenda?  Their agenda is to complete the final destruction of America as any sort of cohesive nation.  Their agenda is to destroy traditional American culture and turn it into a nation, a multi-culture incapable of rallying around a set of central principles.  This is what Obama meant by his “transformation” of the nation, and the democrat party, like children, following the Pied Piper are nearly all on board with this.

At the beginning of this article we read the definition of Multiculturalism.  Look at the emphasized phrases, “special acknowledgement of their differences …demand for special protection under the law… autonomous rights…compensating cultural groups for past exclusion, discrimination, and oppression…seeks the inclusion of the views and contributions of diverse members…diverse members of society can maintain their particular identities while residing in the collective…special group rights… preference over the usual norm of equal rights for all”. 

Whether, radical silly women who hate men, homosexuals and other deviants, blacks, hispanics, girly boys or muslims, the democrat coalition advances all of these trademarks of multiculturalism and political correctness.  The media refuses to identify minorities as perpetrators, instead simply calling them “youths”.  Texas police authorities are now identifying Hispanics as “white” to skew statistics.  Muslim attacks in America are never identified as racially or religiously motivated.  Instead some instances are classified as “work place violence” while others prompt a call for some psychological evaluation because the authorities can’t figure out why little Mohammed went nuts and killed some whities.

As we consider the condition of the muslim invasion of Europe and its consequences as touched on above, we must realize that what is happening there is the democrat blueprint for America’s.

There was an article on the Americanthinker.com website on 11/20/2015, entitled “Europe’s Scoffing its way to Annihilation”, written by Andrew Longman.  He observed that

Europe is convinced – utterly – of the superiority of its civilization.  Europe today has no questions.  It “knows” there’s no God.  It knows that socialism in a secular liberal democracy is supreme.  It knows that atheistic science is the only science allowed to be done.  It knows that wanton sex isn’t just a right, but an entertainment industry orthogonal to morality.   

It knows that abortion is a shrug of the shoulders and… the continent “knows” that religion is a thing of the past.  And it knows that the march towards dissolution of personal sovereignty, national sovereignty, is an inevitable fact of evolution, evolution being the unquestionable god of all things. 

And all that evidence-free fundamentalist secular-liberal certainty is becoming Europe’s complete undoing…Europe has no knowledge that it is psychologically programmed to be indifferent to God… And so this is how Europe dies – obediently, collectively.  The Muslims enter, wild and uncontrolled, individuality as a suicide bomb, caring not for exalted systems.  Burn it; Europeans can’t grasp the euro disobeyed.  Europe can’t grasp dying for God, while Islamists lust for it…

Sooner or later, they think, the Muslims will figure out that a highly paid job at Bosch with state health care, state college education, state direction for your life, unlimited access to state-approved hookers, state certification and training for your every impetus – that this will somehow be honey so compelling that all these little passions about Islam will leave the head, and drugged up drones will trot off to precision assembly training.  Europe’s belief is the unsupported presumption of universal atheism… 

 But there’s no force in Europe’s bucolic Animal Farm.  Muslims believe in force – they make babies, they make war, they make demands, and they use whatever violence they have to weaponize all those things.  Europe does not make babies, does not make war, does not make demands on Muslims.  Instead, Europe purses its brow and wonders how long the realization of European superiority will take to dawn in the mind of the Ummah.  Europe de-weaponizes everything; Muslims sneer, shrug, and reload.”

Our American liberals are of the same mold as their European counterparts.  All are functional atheists, regardless of their claims otherwise.  Hillary, as a sop for the little people, trots out her Methodist upbringing.  Obama made much of his two decade attendance at Jeremiah Wright’s Black Liberation Theology church until the veil was lifted exposing the church and its theology for what it was, Marxism and anti-Americanism disguised as religion.

LSDs always in presenting their case trot out “individuals”.  In every large group there are almost always all sorts of individuals because a group is made up of individuals (duh).  Were there decent Nazis?  How about Nazi party member Oskar Schindler?  We all know that story, largely thanks to the movie Schindler’s List.  Here’s one you may not have heard of, Albert Goering.  Yes, Hermann’s brother. An interesting story on the UK Daily Mail of April 8, 2010 tells us a tale of this man who worked to save Jews, not exterminate them.  While not a Nazi party member, Albert was “Nazi royalty” due to his brother,  but worked against them and his brother actually protected him.

“Standing before the war crimes investigators, the German prisoner hung his head.  It was May, 1945 and he was being held at the U.S. Army’s interrogation center in Augsburg, Bavaria.            

A soldier marked his name off on a list: Goering.  

But this was not Hermann Goering, Hitler’s right-hand-man; Commander of the Luftwaffe and architect of the Holocaust – ‘the final solution’.  

No, Hermann Goering waited down the corridor in cell number 5. The man who stood here, defending himself against a charge of complicity with the Nazi regime, was Hermann’s brother, Albert.  

Surely, his guilt too, was beyond doubt.  But lifting his head, Albert Goering told the investigators an extraordinary story.  He said that he had used his family name – by now synonymous with evil – to help innumerable Jews escape the clutches of the Gastapo.  

Risking his own life, he had saved old Jewish ladies from being humiliated by Nazis in the street and set up money-smuggling syndicates to spirit refugees across the border.  Most daringly of all, he had driven to a concentration camp and convinced guards to load hundreds of Jews into trucks before driving them to freedom.  Three times he had evaded Gestapo arrest warrants. 

The tale he spun was one of heroism, espionage and audacity.  The investigators looked at each other incredulously…The man before them was, after all, Nazi royalty thanks to his high-ranking brother.  Surely this was a desperate ploy to whitewash the death penalty…Undeterred, Albert handed his interrogators a list of 34 names written across five sheets of paper – people he had personally rescued.  The list would eventually secure his freedom, for Albert Goering was indeed the heroic man he described. 

Now his story is told for the first time in a book, Thirty Four, by William Hastings Burke.”

Interestingly despite being exact opposites politically and even humanly, both men, “in this private world…remained devoted brothers”.  Hermann saved Albert’s life several times after being captured by Nazi authorities and quashed arrest warrants put out by the SS.

“Hermann would later tell an American psychiatrist from his Nuremburg cell: ‘Albert was always the antithesis of myself.  He was not politically or militarily interested.  He was quiet, reclusive.  I like crowds and company.  He was melancholic and pessimistic and I am an optimist.  But he’s not a bad fellow, Albert.’ “ 

____________________________________________________________________

The issue isn’t the individual that democrats may trot out to convince the world the muslims or any member of any group for that matter may not be “a bad fellow”.   Any rational and fair minded American values the contribution of individuals from all races and most religions that comprise our citizenry.  The issue is the group, it’s all a matter of statistics.  25 percent of younger muslims in America according to reliable polling have no problem with suicide bombing.  About 40 percent of Pakistanis approve of suicide bombing attacks against Americans.  83% of “Palestinians” approve, 62% of Jordanians, 42% of Turks, about 30% of Egyptians, etc.  Ten percent of native born “American” muslims have a favorable opinion of Al-Qaeda (how about ISIS?).  All across the islamic world, America is viewed by a startlingly high percentage of muslims to be destroyed.

Let’s be conservative and say that 33 percent of all muslims hate America and what it stands for.  Would you buy a car that the manufacturer has put out a warning on that one of three of their new models at the car lot will explode unexpectedly at some point soon after driving it off the lot?  Yet, LSDs want to bring in millions of muslims of which is an element, a significant element, that will never assimilate, has no desire to assimilate or even accommodate and will always work against the interests of America.

While we cannot with any certainty predict the actions of an individual, we can with certainty predict the actions of a group.  90 percent of blacks, or even higher of in the case of Obama, vote for democrats, 60 to 70 percent of Hispanics vote democrat, 70 percent of muslims vote democrat.  Is it any wonder democrats are hell bent on importing as many of these ethnic groups as possible?

Traditional Americans have thoroughly rejected the atheistic socialism of the democrat party.  LSDs have been harvesting the lush fields of the third world to find enough voters to outnumber normal Americans.  These third worlders will trade off their own religious and moral values for the relative wealth promised to them by the democrats taken from productive Americans.

If you think liberals are bad enough in wanting to destroy all of the symbols of our Judeo-Christian heritage and beliefs in America, wait until the muslim population grows just a bit more.  Liberals whine and take you to court before a like-minded liberal judge to get his way.  Muslims will simply attack you, rape your women folk and burn your house down.

No, “president” Obama, republicans and concerned American citizens aren’t afraid of three year old Syrians (well, not until they grow up), we’re afraid of the millions of muslims your party wants to import for the purpose of destroying our culture.  We’re afraid of the day when a “presidency” such as yours is the norm, not an aberration.

Barbarians at and Inside the Gates – 16 November 2015

Muslims at their leisure launched another attack against the West in Paris, on Friday, the 13th of November.  Such attacks were predicted, certain really, as the West has allowed this violent strain of humanity inside its gates.  Most of its cult followers are more than inclined to follow the teaching of Mohammed in the fifth verse of the ninth Sura of the Koran rag which states, “fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every scheme.”

Polling of muslims who infest America usually yields fairly consistent results.  The most shocking opinion expressed by these muslims is that nearly 25 percent support suicide bombing.  That goes along with half wanting to see America subject to Sharia law, but can we expect anything different from this bunch.

The main stream media (democrat media) and liberal researchers usually inflate their numbers in order to increase their political and cultural importance (the same for homosexuals), but if we use their likely inflated number of about 7 million, then that means there may well be close to two million Bin Laden wannabees lurking in our nation.  Certainly liberals want to increase their numbers as fast as possible as they’re ready made allies in their war on America.

America’s founding religion and ethos tells us to love our neighbor, muslims are compelled by their religion to either kill, enslave or convert at the end of a gun barrel.  Islam is not simply a false Satanic religion, but it is a philosophy of conquest.  Mohammad, its lunatic founder, rose to prominence by waylaying caravans, then as his power and the size of his pirate gang grew, he eventually conquered the middle-east and from there all the way to Western India.

We ignore islam at our peril, it is dangerous because it is being enabled and aided by our domestic enemies, the democrats.  The democrat party is nothing more than an amalgamation of various disgruntled minorities, both real and imagined, who are being “harmed” by traditional American culture and values.  Think about it, the democrat party’s only appeal is to radicalized man hating silly women, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals and other sexual deviants, girly men, environmental wackos, young people who are products of the liberal public education mills and their latest group, the muslims.

Democrats don’t even bother to make a pretense any longer of being a mainstream political party.  Of course, they claim to be the mainstream and their media constantly echoes that claim, but all evidence and polling indicates otherwise.  Only their incredible ability to lie and their reliance on their propaganda machines allow them to fool enough Low Information Voters to get elected in most areas of the nation.  The only play in the democrat play book is divide and conquer, ginning up hatred in the minds of its disparate groups that white conservatives are out to get them.  The “war on women”, “homophobia”, “islamophobia”, “racism” is just about all they have going for them.

Two of the groups, deviants and muslims, are interestingly polar opposites in most ways except they find their common ground in their hatred for American values.  Their value to democrats, aside from their voting and money, is that they enhance the democrats’ ability to assault and degrade the Judeo-Christian foundations of our nation.  In the democrat camp at this moment is a race to see who can advocate bringing in the most “Syrian refugees” with Hillary trying to outbid all of the others.  Diluting to the point that America is stripped of the cultural glue that holds it together is the goal of the democrat party.

The battle for the heart, soul and survival of America waged fiercely Monday, November 16th, as the democrats doubled down on their intent to bring as many savages as possible into our nation while the republican spines stiffened considerably.  19 states, all led by republican governors and one state, New Hampshire, led by a democrat called for no resettlement in their states.  Six governors, all democrats, proclaimed they welcomed “refugee” resettlement into their states.

Obama still has his own ban on allowing any true refugees from the war torn middle- east, the Christians, from entering the nation at all.  The Christians in these arab countries are being exterminated, targeted by all muslim sides of their civil war.

Obama, mouthing his usual nonsense (every time his lips move) today said it was “shameful” that our nation would have any sort of religious tests in considering these “refugees”, “That’s not American…That’s not who we are. We do not have religious tests to our compassion.”

Democrats don’t believe in the dangers of islam, in fact, as you know, they all refuse to use even the term “radical islam” (as if there’s any other type).  The administration maintains that any refugees resettled into our midst will be carefully screened and vetted.  This consists of two interviews with the “refugee” himself conducted by drones from the State Department and Homeland Security.

I can just imagine how these interviews go,

“Are you a terrorist?”   “Huhhhh, no”

“Have you ever been or do you plan to engage in terrorist activities?”       “Huhhh, no”

“What will you do to contribute to America?”      “I will be a good voter for democrats.”

“Excellent, welcome to America!”

________________________________________________________________________

“If you have a handful of people who don’t mind dying, they can kill a lot of people”, Obama said today, so just how many “handfuls” are going be imbedded into the tens of thousands of these “refugees” the democrats want in this country and their liberal European counterparts want in theirs?

The United States Government War on Coal -11 Nov 15

Any right thinking, logical and rational American knows that our government at the moment is controlled by radical leftists.  A government headed by an anti-American hack who was an accomplished street hustler, but as president, not so much.  The danger he and his administration and the entire democrat party, for that matter, pose to our nation is grave.  Whether we will survive intact as the nation resembling America as we have known it is in serious doubt.

Much of this site will deal with the global warming scam and plot that socialists in Western countries have adopted to be their means to near total control over our lives.  While the nation is up in arms about the rogue and radical Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with its assault on all Americans and on all reliable energy sources, beneath the national radar is another Agency that is steadfastly working to cripple coal and now the Federal Government has ratcheted up its assault on coal through its Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).

MSHA created by congress to administer the provision of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, enforcing federal mining laws in our nation’s coal and mineral mines and facilities.

Apparently, the Government believing that rank and file MSHA mine inspectors have not pounded on the coal mines enough, haven’t shut enough of them down, haven’t collected enough hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties so it has begun engaging in a despicable program of propagandizing it’s inspectors.

MSHA, like other federal and state agencies and various corporations and organizations has it’s own intranet.  “An intranet is a private network, accessible only to an organization’s staff.  Generally a wide range of information and services from the organization’s internal IT systems are available that would not be available to the public from the internet.”  (Wikipedia)  All MSHA mine inspectors have computers and the MSHA Intranet is there as a source for various resources inspectors must access on occasion as they perform their work.  It is a recent development that MSHA has been posting propaganda on its intranet.

MSHA also maintains a public website where mine operators, miners and civilians can access a great deal of valuable information.  However, it does not (yet) post the rank propaganda that is now showing up on its private intranet.

A November 3, 2015 opinion piece found on the CNN.com website was posted on the MSHA intranet entitled, “We’re Winning the War Against Coal” written by Michael Bloomberg and Michael Brune.  CNN, a liberal organization in its own right, at least had the decency to preface the article with a disclaimer that

”Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the U.N. secretary general’s special envoy for climate change and cities and Michael Brune is executive director of the Sierra Club. The opinions expressed in this commentary are theirs”

No such disclaimer was found on the MSHA intranet as it reposted the opinion piece.  What makes this fantasy masquerading as fact so egregious is that it is our tax dollars which obviously finances MSHA and pays the salaries of MSHA personnel.   Obviously the message of the opinion is designed to inculcate anger if not rage against the very industry that the federal inspectors are charged with overseeing.

We begin dissecting this hit piece against one of the great energy sectors of our nation with the very title itself, “we are winning the war against coal”. These federal employees supposedly are the servants of “the people” and I don’t recall any citizen uprising demanding the government war against them.  Only in Obama-land does the government war against its own citizens and indispensable industries.

The propaganda begins with the issue that liberals think will sweep them to permanent power over our lives,

“Here’s some good news that many Americans may not realize: Domestically, we are winning the fight against the carbon pollution that drives climate change.  And by doing so, we are giving President Obama a strong hand to play when world leaders gather at the U.N.’s climate summit in Paris in five weeks to negotiate a global agreement to limit carbon emissions.”

Of course “carbon pollution”, is not pollution, carbon dioxide is the gas of life.  Without carbon dioxide there would be no life on the planet at all.  Liberals like to talk about man-made global warming as an established fact but saying it over and over again doesn’t make it so.  A corrupted “science” community making its grave pronouncements of doom as it feeds at the government trough of our tax dollars doesn’t make it so.  A corrupt education system designed to create liberal voters teaching young minds that man-kind, especially the United States, is destroying the planet doesn’t make it so.  The temperature of the world has remained unchanged for the past 17 years, yet the liberals are still stuck on stupid.

Poll after poll has shown that not only in the United States but worldwide, concern for global warming or its derivative “climate change” ranks near the bottom of concern for average citizens.  The boy simply cried wolf too many times.  Over the past three decades that the global warming scam has been afoot we have passed date after date that the purveyors of doom said we were to be destroyed or seriously affected by catastrophic changes in our environment.  The no more snows, the increased hurricane activities, the rising oceans creating millions of “climate refugees” just didn’t materialize.

“To understand how the White House finds itself in this position of strength, think back to 2010, when Congress failed to pass a cap-and-trade bill. That seemed to end any hopes of making major reductions in emissions and demonstrating American resolve to the global community. But in fact, even though the bill did not become law, the United States has already exceeded the carbon reduction goals it aimed to reach.

 

According to a study being released Wednesday by the Sierra Club and Bloomberg Philanthropies, 2015 U.S. economy-wide carbon emissions are even lower than they would have been had the bill passed. In fact, the United States can now say it has led the world in reducing carbon pollution over the last decade…

A primary driver is that over the past five years 130 coal-fired power plants have been retired and another 70 are preparing to retire over the next few years.”

So? If this is true, then why the mad rush to further degrade our nation’s electrical power supply and decimate coal producing states and regions?  Obama and his EPA have already done more than enough to seriously damage our energy supply and reliability, yet they want even more.  Developing countries, especially China are putting coal fired power plants on line as fast as they can build them, in China about one per week.  Obama puts our nation at risk while China forges ahead to meet the energy needs of its growing country with reliable coal.

“…the decline in coal use also stems in large measure from citizens demanding cleaner air and action on climate change. People across the country joined with the Sierra Club and many other organizations in standing up for their right to breathe clean air. Five years ago, coal pollution helped kill 13,000 Americans a year. Now, that number is down to 7,500.”

So where is this hue and cry from Americans demanding cleaner air and action on climate change?  Less than a fourth of Americans in a recent poll express significant concern for climate change.  On the world stage, a recent UN poll of citizens around the world found that concern for climate change ranked dead last on a list of 16 areas of concern.  Considering the all-out 24/7 propaganda blitz by the democrats and their media and the liberal education mills for the past 25 years or more, only reality has prevented a complete mental programming of Americans to accept this hoax.

The real truth is that American air quality has shown drastic improvement year and year for the past half century.  Depending on which “study” conducted by agenda driven “researchers” we consider, coal pollution kills between 13 to 30 thousand Americans per year.  Liberals claim that CO2 causes global warming which causes ozone smog which causes asthma which kills all of these Americans.  Yet ozone levels have continually declined over the past few decades while diagnosed asthma illnesses have increased.  There is no correlation between the two.  Might it be that Americans are unhealthier, fatter and less active than previous generations and these factors along with better diagnosis or expanded definition criteria have led to an “increase” Americans suffering and dying from asthma?

The EPA created a dire hazard from thin air (no pun intended) by claiming that Particulate Matter (soot) equal to or less than 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) kills Americans “prematurely”.  Yet there is no proof for this.  Studies conducted at the University of North Carolina and Harvard refute this.  The EPA relied on the Harvard study in its pronouncement of doom, however, the data of the Harvard study itself indicated that there was no significant risk to the population for PM2.5.

The EPA claims that these premature deaths are caused by exposure to PM2.5 (most caused by burning coal of course) at concentrations beginning at 35µg/m3.  As you may recall, China had to temporarily shut down its local coal fired plants to clear the smog from the area of Shanghai for the Olympics it hosted.  The Chinese report that the PM levels typically of Shanghai is around 600µg/m3, yet the city enjoys an average life expectancy of 82.5 years, much higher than US cities.

Make no mistake, there is a war on coal.  It is being waged by those who would see the United States revert back to stone age living standards.  Our nation for decades has reduced all pollutants, our air and water gets cleaner by the day.  The issue isn’t science, the science truly is settled.  Puny humans do not alter the climate or weather.  The global warming or climate change movement is just that, a movement, a religion, a cult.  It’s all about politics and control.  It is the line between those of us who value liberty and prosperity on one side and an opponent on the other that craves control over our lives.

Advances in coal technology continues and it’s quite amazing.  According to the Institute for Energy Research

“One factor in improving air quality has been the pollution-control technologies used by coal-fired power plants. Today’s coal-fired electricity generating plants produce more power, with less emission of criteria pollutants, than ever before. According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), a new pulverized coal plant (operating at lower, “subcritical” temperatures and pressures) reduces the emission of NOx by 86 percent, SO2 by 98 percent, and particulate matter (PM) by 99.8 percent, as compared with a similar plant having no pollution controls. Undoubtedly, air quality will continue to improve in the future because of improved technology…

… Between 1970 and 2006, SO2 emissions in lbs per million Btu were reduced by almost 80 percent and NOx emissions in lbs per million Btu were reduced by over 70 percent. Between 1970 and 2006, total SO2 emissions were reduced by about 40 percent. Between 1980 and 2006, NOx emissions were reduced by almost 50 percent.”

Liberals are good at only two things, lying and hatching plans to destroy the United States.  The “war against coal” hit piece goes on to say

“Moreover, the phase-out of coal in the United States has only just begun. Our analysis of the new data shows that once all planned and targeted coal plant closings are factored in, the United States will exceed the Obama administration’s flagship pledge to cut electric sector carbon emissions — even if no other actions are taken — 32% by 2030.”

All at the expense of American industry and American lives.  New England over the past two years has forced the closing of several critical coal fired plants to rely on alternate power sources.  Supposedly when crunch time comes, whether a hot or cold spell, it intends to buy electric power from Canada which itself already is plagued with black and brown outs due to its own precarious ability to meet its own needs.

When MSHA republished this hit piece it attacks the Republican party, the party that overwhelmingly won the last election and controls congress.

“There will always be U.S. elected officials who seek to protect special interests, but they are fighting an irreversible trend, and they should be focused on helping workers from the coal industry find new opportunities.”

Apparently, MSHA leadership is attempting to encourage its rank and file inspectors to focus on helping coal mine workers to “find new opportunities” by putting their coal mines out of operation.  Americans expect law enforcement to be fair and impartial and not be motivated by a leftist agenda to destroy their livelihood and put them on the unemployment line.  Furthermore, its rather surprising that a federal agency that is budgeted by congress, would attack and insult the party that controls congress and the agency’s budget.

Robert H. Jackson, FDR’s Attorney General at the time in a speech to federal prosecutors on April 1, 1940, made a very powerful observation and warning that is very appropriate to the subject of this essay.  While he is specifically speaking to federal prosecutors, the concerns and principles apply to all government law enforcement including those that enforce our nation’s mining laws.  Substitute MSHA mine inspector for “prosecutor” and I think the point will be made very clear

“If the prosecutor is obliged to choose his cases, it follows that he can choose his defendants.  Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor:  that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.  With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone.  In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him.

 

It is in this realm—in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies.  It is here that law enforcement becomes personal, and the real crime becomes that of being unpopular with the predominant or governing group, being attached to the wrong political views, or being personally obnoxious to or in the way of the prosecutor himself.”

It’s obvious that Obama and all liberals hate coal, heck they hate just about everything, especially anything pro-American or pro-civilization.  This hit piece on American energy and coal has no place on a government intranet designed only for its federal mining law enforcers to read and be motivated by.  One can only assume it was the upper political echelon of the federal agency that was brazen enough to post this sort of propaganda.  There is a war for the heart, soul and survival of this nation.  We are in an era where the government itself is at war with the nation’s own citizens.
