On backseat drivers' urban legends

By Johnny D. Symon

Where is this ever changing world we're all told exists? What exactly is changing on good old planet earth that somehow fails to attract my attention? Ecologists have been using this term in several ways, one of them in a futile attempt at persuading us all that there's "global warming" and "climatic change" going on.

On the global warming front I must break the news gently to GW proponents, that in Spain last month the average high was officially 27 to 30 degrees centigrade, whereas in the same month of 2001, the temperature had reached 40 degrees. Two days ago Spanish TV weather news showed various parts of mid and northern Spain; in Lugo the rain was pouring down, and according to the locals who were all wearing winter clothing, it was freezing. Some interviewed claimed they enjoyed the cooler weather and others lamented the loss of summer. If there's global warming going on then it's some place else. Can someone tell me where it is?

Again earlier this month, on BBC radio, a loon explorer spoke from the Arctic Circle, he said that the ice was breaking up, and I don't doubt the loon's words because this time of the year Arctic-wise, happens to be summer, and we all know what summer means, right? It means warmer than winter, and hotter than colder. It means that your mint julep stays frosty for no time at all, and if you ever try having one over in southern Spain in the month of July, you might just burn your lips off. It's a natural fact of life that ice and hot sun don't get on, so our loon explorer was obviously oblivious to this fact.

But here's another fact for us all to consider: I've noted of late that the proponents of global warming are using this term less and less, and substituting it with "climatic change." The Spanish government have followed suit by recently dropping their much used term "multicultural Spain" and replacing it with "pluralistic Spain." They dropped multicultural because the average Spain dweller has discovered its true meaning to their cost over the past three years, whereas "pluralistic," I've noted, has the average Spaniard trying to guess what it's all about.

But climatic change is a better substitute to global warming because our climate does change four times a year, and always in the same order, whereas it's only too easy to prove that global warming in a nation by nation, microclimates-within-nation sense, and historically, is complete nonsense. The place I have in southern Spain has a neighboring town just 2 miles away, and yet the temperature where I am is always 5 to 8 degrees hotter!

Back in 17th century England one winter was so cold that the river Thames in London was frozen over until the following July, folks were skating on it in July. The following year was one of the hottest on record. Yes indeed the Brits even way back then kept careful account of their climate. In 11th century Andalusia, Spain, the Moors kept exact meteorological records too, and one year found them writing that for the complete twelve month period there was not a single drop of rain, and I don't have to remind you guys that the Industrial Revolution was 700 years into their future. In the times that I've been in and around Andalusia there's never been a year like it, it's always rained during each and every year.

Paul McCartney (Angela Lansbury's Doppelganger) warbled along in his song to the James Bond film, "Live and Let Die." He squeaked out the words, "In this ever-changing world we live in ... Live and let die ..." and if that sentiment was to be taken literally, he and all his other activist friends would cease their activities, thus giving the rest of us a well-earned break. I live and let die, so why don't they?

I suffered through one whole hour of the BBC World Service on Sunday July 8, (9 to 10pm Spanish time.) I say suffered because normally this show's a breeze, but July 8 was all about ecology. It would appear that they'd scooped up something from off the sidewalk named Zac Goldsmith, who publishes a rag named The Ecologist. This rag has been used habitually to rub down industry and industrious people to the bone since 1970, yet their archive section on the website goes no further back than early 2000. I suspect the genuine reason for this to be an attempt at hiding their early assurances that we were all going to slip into another ice age. But you know? whatever other excuse Zac may offer on the missing 30 years of wizardry, I ain't fallin' for it.

The boy (Zac Goldschnit) revealed his true self part way through the show, when a guy phoned in from North Wales announcing that he and two of his fellows had invented a device which captures and contains 100 percent of CO emissions from combustion engines. Zac's reply was short and sweet ... he didn't say a damn word. Had I been in his shoes, and especially in his line of business, I would have asked for an invite to their workshop to see this thing for myself, but Zac wasn't interested, possibly because, if genuine, this device would destroy the ecologists plan of removing big cars from the world; a non-polluting combustion engine is some miracle, but would call a halt to the ecologists hidden agenda.

The day before yesterday the Spanish TV news broadcast yet another scare story from Ecologists in Action. They said that the air pollution problem in parts of northern Spain, especially Cantabria I believe, is the main cause of lung and breathing problems. They went on to add that "scientific research" (no details offered) revealed that diesel engines are the root cause. They said that "diesel emits six times more damaging pollutants than gasoline," and this is possibly yet another dimension to the missing 30 years of the ecologist archives because all of these dopes were singing the praises of diesel oil during the three decades or more before yesterday's big turnaround.

Zac was asked by another caller why he and his club fail to tackle China on their pollution, to which he replied that they wouldn't listen to us if we did. So maybe the sensible ones among us should adopt the Chinese Way, through not listening to Zac and his Pack ... "Zac, Zac, don't talk back!" should be our watchword. But the truth is stranger than fiction because Zac and his fellow ecologists fail to tackle China on their industrial waste and air pollution because China is not America or Europe. China gets off because China is still Communist like them.

There was yet another caller though, who clocked Gore's big ecological pledge thing, unveiled the previous day at one of the Live Earth meets. The caller was none other than Professor James Panton. I believe he lectures at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, England. Mr Panton said that Al Gore's ecological pledge of admitting that you're a sinning polluter, then making an oath to clean-up your ways in order to clean up the world, is very much like a person who adopts Christianity through first acknowledging that they're a sinner, then giving themselves up into the hands of their savior.

I myself only heard Gore finish his rant through wishing everyone present God's blessings. Albert still needs to learn the lesson that God and ecology don't mix. Ecology is nothing more than an extra dimension to Satanism.

Which brings me back to Zac and his BBC Radio show, for during it he offered the following information; "The greatest power affecting our planet after Nature, is Mankind!" That's the key to understanding what's empowering Zac, Gore and the rest ... they never make provision or take account of the third and most potent Force affecting our planet, and the reason for this is mighty simple to determine. They make no mention of That which created earth initially, and That which holds it in its course and its destiny, because they've rejected Its existence. And those who reject their own Creator find themselves in a strange and tricky position in the wisdom stakes.

"You can discover what your enemy
fears most by observing the means
he uses to frighten you."

Eric Hoffer

All of them have to hide their past claims because everything they say and do must be modified later on when proven false, or when the passage of time does not validate their fears.

Albert was unable to hide his electric bills, proving he said one thing in public and did something else privately. And you know something? they can all breathe easy when they hear that people like myself shall never consider standing for electoral office, but if some day another such as myself successfully enters that House on the Hill, they'll find that ALL things and ALL people ecologically-minded shall be given fair warning that if their historic outpourings are not consistent, not correct, but ever changing, they'll find themselves in the slammer for a very long time indeed.

We've witnessed those bums and those entities as they promised a "new ice age," then a world that's getting "baked to death." Now they're telling us that diesel engines pollute six times more than gasoline ... God only knows what else they're gonna come up with in the future, if not made accountable; "Fresh water's carcinogenic" perhaps?

One day most of us with a brain in our heads will have to stand back and say, "Enough's enough!" and order a complete and retrospective government appraisal of those ecological arguments and scare tactics used over the past 50 years or so. I believe that it's unconstitutional and grossly unfair that American companies can be brought to task over presumed false claims on their products performance, (and I cite Apple and its recent skirmish with the Feds over the published performance of the G5 chip-set as an example,) whereas on the other hand, the "products" ... intellectual property ... produced by ecology groups and the claims they make about them, are completely ignored. They can produce one lie after another and get away with it, despite most of their false claims adversely affecting manufacturing and the economy.

How many of you bought the diesel engine story back in the 80's, paid far more for a new diesel automobile than the gasoline model, believing that with diesel being a lower price at the pumps you'd recoup the difference in two or three years, only to find the price of diesel soar until there was little difference between both? Quite a few of you, huh? So how does it feel to now be told that you're public enemy number one on the polluter stakes, and those who burn gasoline have become the good guys, six times over?

I believe that this case involves the term "hook, line, and sinker!"

Ecological groups are responsible for this term's enactment many times over. Their "products" have more airplay in political circles than any other manufacturer, and their "wares" have more control over our lives and how we live 'em, our wealth and how we can keep it and use it, than any other entity. Over the past few decades the ecological loon brigade have been acting as successful backseat drivers in our own elected and mandated governmental system, yet their "products" are not held legally accountable for damage caused to the consumer, and those who produce those "products" are above and beyond the law.

I propose that G W Bush signs an Executive Order, bringing ecology groups and people into line with the rest of manufacturing industry. I advocate a level playing field for all. With ecology groups bound under the laws of the land they'd finally have to face up to accountability for their faulty goods.

Ecologists are spiritually sick individuals and many of those sickos I've personally met over their lying and deluded years have one thing in common; almost all of them were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, which meant that they had no idea about anything, they were cosseted from the cradle and so shall they go to the grave. Real work and its necessity is to them as big a mystery as their understanding of creation. The rest of us have learned to fend for ourselves and most of us get our hands dirty. We all know the price of a quart of milk, and the price paid if we don't switch off all unnecessary power usage. But silver-spoon ecologists like Zacky, being ignorant of everyday matters, issue the following on that very BBC Radio show mentioned above; "All short-haul flights should be taxed higher. People should go by train, boat, etc." That's typical silver-spoon logic and here's why:

An extra, say, 15 bucks on a flight from London to Paris will mean nothing to a high-flying business person. They can claim it back as business expenses. Whereas a poor person who has to visit their dying mother in a Paris hospital ASAP will find 15 bucks extra more of an obstacle, and when they land in Paris, that 15 bucks would have been most welcome as the cab fare direct to the clinic. Everything silver-spoons do hits the poor.

A recent curfew law during certain working hours in London, where you have to pay a tax to use your own automobile was another silver-spoon idea because a rich business guy who needs to get central fast, in order to win a deal involving 4 million bucks for his company, is not gonna think twice about paying the tax. And before the curfew law was enacted I knew of one exec who made so much dough each week, he cared little about parking tickets. He'd willingly pay a 30 dollar fine in order to make four or five thousand dollars that day.

Yet another silver-spoon idea is the gas-guzzler tax. How many of us know people who drive small automobiles round and round cities just for the fun of it, clocking up more than 100,000 miles a year? Whereas people like ourselves drive serious cars only for serious business and do 10,000 a year, the rest of the time we take trains, planes, etc. Why do these dopes never propose a mileage tax? Surely this would make drivers more responsible and may even lure some of them over to public transport. Well again the answer is simple. The gas-guzzler tax is just another way to try and remove big cars from the roads.

Now here again is the bottom line on it all. Industry is heavily regulated by the Federal government. If a business produces poor or dangerous products they find themselves before judge and jury. Policy makers are people who think up new ways of stiffin' Joe Public, but if their intellectual products cause too much trouble, even they face a hearing. But ecologists seem to be exempt from any redress when they cook up bad intellectual products that hurt many a man and woman in the street, and damage the nation's manufacturers and economy. They should be held accountable just like any other manufacturer of policies or products, for the possible damage they may cause, and boy have they already damaged my pocketbook. That's why I propose that all ecologists and groups be registered as manufacturers and policy makers. I want them to stand accountable for the damage they cause with their lousy lying ideas.

Now before I slip off to give you good people a well-earned rest for the weekend, several recent events have caught my attention, and my weekend will be all the sweeter if I get them off my chest:

A Socialist politico in Argentina, and several other Socialist politicos in Barcelona, Spain, have all felt the long arm of the law this week due to their connections with the Russian mafia.

In London, England, the British Police foiled an attempt at assassinating a certain exiled Russian fossil fuel mogul named Boris Berezovsky. If you've read "To Solve the Big Mystery" you'll know that Putin stole his Company, and during Boris's sojourn in England he made friends with another of Putin's prime hates named Alexander Litvinenko. Alex is no more, he's glowing in the dark six feet under England's turf, encased in a lead lined coffin.

But unlike the long arm of the law in both Spain and Argentina, currently enjoying a successful mission, England's cops are being pushed from pillar to post in their quest to place Alexander's prime murder suspect, Andrei Lugovoi, KGB, in an English court. The Russian authorities quite correctly point out that their Constitution does not provide a framework for extradition of their nationals, but I have to point out that with Russia's notorious history over the past 100 years or so, most sensible observers would regard said Constitution as little more than toilet paper.

During the years of Poot many innocents have bitten the dust, and Russia's human rights record has become so badly scratched that its players stylus keeps jumping back to where it all began.

Today happens to be the 3rd birthday of my ed entitled "The Proof is in the Putin," and in this ed I mentioned another person who bit the dust called Paul Klebnikov. He believed that Poot would eventually end up in disgrace and be on the run as an exile. Paul's book tied in Poot and his regime with the Russian mafia as one big happy family. Had I been in the Poot's shoes and heard those allegations, and knew that I was innocent, his remarks would not have phased me, but somewhere and somehow folks did get a little shook up and that's why Paul is also no longer with us.

During Poot's eight long official years in office hundreds of his opponents have either disappeared, bitten the dust, or glowed in the dark, and all of them share the same predicament as one whose life was extinguished by his own brother ...

"And he said, What hast thou done?
the voice of thy brother's blood
crieth unto me from the ground."

Genesis 4:10

If shed blood has a voice, Putin's regime has created an almighty choir, and like the late Paul Klebnikov, I foresee a time of Justice for those who have fallen.

Have a great weekend folks, Johnny D
