		<description><![CDATA[Strategy papers call for United Nations to boss economies and erect world government under pretext of environmentalism

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-453" title="flag-united-nations-un" src="http://teapartynewswatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/flag-united-nations-un.gif" alt="flag-united-nations-un" width="500" height="333" />Paul Joseph Watson<br />
<a href="http://prisonplanet.com/">Prison Planet.com</a><br />
Tuesday, December 1, 2009</p>
<p align="left">Shocking newly uncovered UN strategy documents reveal how elitists are recruiting members of academia from all over the globe in an effort to hide the “end-run” around national sovereignty that their agenda represents, emphasizing how the climategate crooks who were recently caught manipulating scientific data in order to “hide the decline” in global warming are working with the United Nations in the pursuit of a world government justified by the global warming fraud that they are helping to perpetrate.</p>
<p align="left">One of the planning papers, entitled <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/113009_IISDreport.pdf">“The UNEP That We Want,”</a> was produced by a specially selected group of influential environmental bureaucrats and delivered to the UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.</p>
<p align="left">The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the regulatory body that established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the politicized organization that has attempted to slam the lid shut on global warming skepticism by claiming it is the supreme authority, despite the fact that scientists used by the IPCC were caught manipulating data and conspiring to hide evidence of global cooling during the climategate scandal.</p>
<p align="left">The IPCC has <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/29/ipcc-climate-change-leaked-emails">attempted to deny the gravitas of climategate</a> by claiming that it has no bearing on their conclusions about global warming, despite the fact that scientists at the University of East Anglia used intimidation and academic witch hunts to ensure that data they didn’t agree with politically was blocked from appearing in the IPCC’s fourth assessment report, which was published in 2007.</p>
<p align="left">Participants who contributed to the first UNEP document included Janos Pasztor, currently head of the team pushing U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s unprecedented Seal the Deal lobbying campaign to pressure U.N. member governments into signing a new environmental agreement at Copenhagen, Dominic Waughray, currently head of environmental initiatives at the World Economic Forum; and Maria Ivanova, and Bulgarian academic Maria Ivanova, director of the Global Economic Governance Project at the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy.</p>
<p align="left">The first document is very similar to a second UNEP paper entitled, “<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/113009_unepstrategy.pdf">Proposed Medium Term Strategy 2010-2013</a>.”</p>
<p align="left">The documents outline a program of implementing a global system of governance based around environmental regulations and laws, stressing the agenda for the “evolutionary nature of strengthening international environmental governance.”</p>
<p align="left">The aim of elevating UNEP’s influence to a position where it dictates rules to nation states, rather than nation states being the supervisors of UNEP as is currently the case, is advocated.</p>
<p align="left">The documents discuss recruiting academia to further the power of UNEP, noteworthy in light of the recent climategate scandal where scientists at major universities were caught hiding evidence of global cooling.</p>
<p align="left">“As the Swiss paper puts it, UNEP “should pioneer a new style of work. This requires going beyond a narrow interpretation of UNEP’s stakeholders as comprising its member states — or even the world’s governments — and recruiting a far wider community of support, in civil society, the academic world and the private sector.” At the same time the paper warns that these groups need to be “harnessed to the UNEP mission without appearing to make an end-run around the member governments,” <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,577827,00.html">summarizes Fox News’</a> George Russell.</p>
<p align="left">This passage is fairly damning, as the UN is all but admitting that the program does represent an “end-run around member governments,” and that they have to do their best to hide the fact. That academics should be “harnessed to the UNEP mission” and not harnessed to producing unbiased scientific data about global warming also reveals how the climate change issue has been hijacked to serve the requirements of a global elite hell-bent on world government.</p>
<p align="left">The first document also calls for an “Environmental Bretton Woods for the 21st Century,” where the environmental agenda is inextricably linked with the economy and the UN’s role is to have command over the economies of national governments.</p>
<p align="left">The goals included in the four-year strategy paper include “efforts at local, national and global levels” to raise “sufficient finance to meet environmental challenges, including climate change,” which translates as using the problem of global warming to raise money for the operation of the global government structure which is being called for in the planning papers.</p>
<p align="left">The goals enshrined in the documents, a counterpart to the globally binding agreement the UN is seeking to achieve in Copenhagen next month, are “certain to remain a UNEP rallying cry long after the Copenhagen meeting is over — and while the other brainstorming ideas that went into the new four-year strategy, not to mention the strategy itself, go into effect,” writes Russell.</p>
<p align="left">This document represents yet another smoking gun proving that the climate cult movement is all about expanding the power of a dictatorial, unelected global government, diluting powers of nation states, seizing control of the global economy, eviscerating the middle class with a raft of new regulations and laws, and shutting down industry with impossible CO2 reduction mandates, while erecting environmentalism, which is really a thin veil for global fascism, as the new universal religion.</p>
<p align="left">This has nothing to do with saving the earth and, as the climategate scandal has illustrated, nothing to do with the real science – but everything to do with a relatively small clique of globalists running roughshod over humanity itself in pursuit of their malthusian control freak agenda.</p>

<p>Response I received from Dianne Feinstein, as sent (if you would like me to forward this to you, send me a message with your email address &#8230; interesting how they altered the original message):</p>
<p>Thank you for writing to express your opposition to the ratification of the Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials (CIFTA). I appreciate hearing from you on this topic and welcome the opportunity to respond.</p>
<p>While I understand your concerns about the ratification of CIFTA, I strongly believe that the U.S. should act promptly to take up and ratify this convention. For many years, I have been concerned about the proliferation of firearms worldwide. From Afghanistan to Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Haiti, the proliferation of firearms and light other weapons undermines peace, stability, economic growth, and harms U.S. national security interests.</p>
<p>Specifically, the illicit trafficking of firearms from the U.S. has helped to exacerbate recent violence amid drug cartels in Mexico. Recent cCongressional testimony provided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms &amp; Explosives (ATF) revealed that approximately 90 percent of traced weaponsconfiscated firearms used by cartels come from thewere traced to the U.S. It is estimated that, with 2,000 guns per day crossing the border from the U.S. into Mexico. Further, 6,000 people were killed in Mexico last year due to drug-related violence, with another 1,000 people killed in January 2009 alone. I believe that the ratification of CIFTA will help to combat the threat of narcotics trafficking and illegal arms transfers in Mexico and Central America, and provide an unequivocal statement that the U.S. is serious about stemming the tide of weapons flowing into the region.</p>
<p>Again, thank you for writing. While we do not necessarily agree on this particular issue, your views are important to me, and I hope that you will continue to write on matters of importance to you. Should you have any further comments or questions, please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841.</p>
<p>Sincerely yours,</p>
<p>Dianne Feinstein<br />
United States Senator </span></div>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/I1qa9xprJ4s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1">Inhofe Announces Climategate Investigation on Fox News</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Washington, D.C.</span></span></strong><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">-Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today sent letters to several scientists, some of whom allegedly manipulated data to prove the scientific &#8220;consensus&#8221; of global warming, as well as to the inspectors general of several federal agencies, notifying them to retain documents related to the release of emails from the <span style="COLOR: black">University of East Anglia </span>Climatic Research Unit in England.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>&#8220;The stakes in this controversy are significant, as it appears that the basis of federal programs, pending EPA rulemakings, and cap-and-trade legislation was contrived and fabricated,&#8221; </strong>Sen. Inhofe said.<strong>  &#8220;Moreover, it appears that, in an attempt to conceal the manipulation of climate data, information disclosure laws may have been violated.</strong></span></span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; color: #000000; font-size: small;">&#8220;I certainly don&#8217;t condone the manner in which these emails were released; however, now that they are in the public domain, lawmakers have an obligation to determine the extent to which the so-called ‘consensus&#8217; of global warming, formed with billions of taxpayer dollars, was contrived in the biased minds of the world&#8217;s leading climate scientists.&#8221; </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: small;">The letters are the first step in the investigation of the climate scandal.  Last week, emails released by a computer hacker revealed that several leading climate scientists allegedly manipulated climate data and research used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).  These scientists also appear to have refused outside access to their raw data, obstructed freedom of information requests, and plotted ways to prevent the publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals by scientists who question global warming alarmism.</span> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://teapartynewswatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/gore.jpg" alt="gore" title="gore" width="480" height="270" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-412" /><a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/16818">By Paul Driessen  Friday, November 13, 2009 at Canada Free Press</a><br />
House Global Warming Subcommittee Chairman Ed Markey (D-MA) was outraged that a renegade freelance lobbyist had sent a dozen phony letters to members of Congress, urging them to vote against cap-and-trade legislation. </p>
<p>Congress will not tolerate “forgery and identity theft” in attempting to influence the passage of legislation, members solemnly intoned. The letters misled Congress and imperiled its integrity and deliberative process.</p>
<p>Few Americans would disagree. But after their usual pontificating, the Democrats once again proved that, if they didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards.</p>
<p>Mr. Markey and his big-D colleagues excoriated the guilty parties they had summoned to their Star Chamber. They then refused to allow testimony by the Republicans’ proposed witness. Competitive Enterprise Institute lawyer Chris Horner had intended to discuss a recent hoax by environmentalists, who had impersonated U.S. Chamber of Commerce officials, forged Chamber documents and staged a phony news conference to announce that the Chamber had reversed its position on global warming legislation.</p>
<p>That and Horner’s other examples of green fraud would only “confuse people” and diffuse the anti-industry venom of Democrats, who didn’t even mention the bogus Chamber event.</p>
<p>Worst, all this fakery pales next to what the full Energy and Commerce Committee had blessed as proof of imminent Climate Armageddon in April 2009. The Democrats’ superstar witness was renowned climatologist Al Gore, who had earned a C and a D in the only science courses he took in college.</p>
<p>Once again, Democrats refused to permit the Republicans’ intended witness to testify. They knew Lord Christopher Monckton, former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, would rubbish Gore’s Doomsday scenarios. So Gore was allowed to mislead Congress and promote his unfounded assertion that humanity faces “an irreparably damaged planet,” if we don’t immediately slash fossil fuel use. He didn’t face a single tough question over any of his false or misleading claims.</p>
<p>Gore: The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate. Truth: The Arctic region warms and cools dramatically every few decades, due to shifting currents and winds. Arctic ice also melted significantly during the 1930s; it is now back to seasonally normal levels.</p>
<p>Gore: If the Greenland and Western Antarctic Peninsula ice sheets were to melt and collapse into the ocean, seal levels would rise 40 feet. Truth: Snow and ice are increasing in interior Greenland and Antarctica. The peninsula ice is mostly unstable sea ice, and interior Antarctica temperatures would have to rise 85 degrees (from an average annual minus-50) to cause Gore’s fanciful cataclysm.</p>
<p>Gore: The US West and the Southeast are experiencing prolonged severe droughts. Truth: America also endured the Dust Bowl and a 25-year drought that forced Anasazi Indians to abandon their villages.</p>
<p>Gore: Carbon dioxide “pollution” is acidifying our oceans. Truth: Higher CO2 levels fertilize ocean algae and improve seashell growth. In some areas upwelling can acidify surface waters with carbon-rich water from deep ocean zones.</p>
<p>Gore: Global warming is increasing the number of wildfires in US forests. Truth: Fires continue to threaten habitats, wildlife and homes because insects are killing trees and environmentalist legal actions prevent foresters from managing dense stands of brush and thin, diseased and dead trees.</p>
<p>Gore: Climate change is increasing the intensity of hurricanes. Truth: Hurricane numbers and intensity are on par with historic records and trends. Katrina was a large Category 3 hurricane when it hit a poorly prepared New Orleans.</p>
<p>It’s a good thing the committee didn’t put Gore under oath. He’d be sanctioned for wanton and reckless disregard for the truth – if not perjury – in both his testimony and the movie he produced to terrify young children, so that they pressure their parents into demanding passage of cap-tax-and-trade legislation.</p>
<p>A British High Court judge ruled that “An Inconvenient Truth” promotes “partisan political views,” was riddled with errors and falsehoods, and could not be shown any more in schools, unless accompanied by a teacher’s guide correcting information that Gore had misrepresented. Two of the most egregious distortions are especially likely to scare kids.</p>
<p>* Polar bears are drowning because a warming planet is melting the Arctic. Fact: Four bears drowned during a particularly violent storm, and polar bear populations are actually increasing in Alaska and Canada.</p>
<p>* Warming temperatures have brought malaria to Nairobi, Kenya, killing little children. Fact: Nairobi has always had malaria, and anti-insecticide policies promoted by Gore have helped perpetuate the problem.</p>
<p>Indeed, contrary to Gore’s false assertions, there has been no global warming for a decade – and Earth has actually cooled slightly since 2002 – even as atmospheric CO2 levels continue to rise. Climate alarmists habitually magnify the alleged risks of warmer temperatures, ignore the potential economic and health benefits of a warmer world, and obfuscate the clear dangers to agriculture and life from planetary cooling.</p>
<p>But Al Gore passionately wants Congress to enact punitive cap-and-trade legislation, because he detests the hydrocarbon fuels that provide 85% of the energy that powers America – and because he stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars via carbon trading deals and subsidized renewable energy technologies.</p>
<p>Gore refuses to give up his private jets, limousines and carbon-intensive lifestyle. He refuses to correct any of the errors in his movie, lectures or testimony. He just wants us to give up our living standards.</p>
<p>The former VP’s media, Hollywood and congressional friends always protect him and his junk science. He will not debate anyone. When he gives six-figure talks on college campuses, the only questions allowed are those he has preapproved. On the extremely rare occasions when someone does ask an inconvenient question, as during a recent convention of friendly journalists, Gore dodges the question until the uppity interrogator’s microphone can be switched off.</p>
<p>It’s time for America to have its long overdue debate over global warming science and the painful economic impacts of anti-hydrocarbon cap-and-trade policies. A little honesty, transparency and robust debate would do wonders for the integrity of the legislative process and Americans’ trust in Congress.</p>
<p>No more excuses, Mr. Gore. Have the guts to defend your views. Show some cojones. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://teapartynewswatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hr-1826-s-752.jpg" alt="hr 1826 s 752" title="hr 1826 s 752" width="480" height="270" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-325" />The Fair Elections Now Act reached a milestone recently as the 100th member of the U.S. House of Representatives signed on to H.R.1826. </p>
<p>The bipartisan act, which was introduced by Representative John Larson, a Connecticut Democrat, and Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican, offers an alternative to current campaign finance system by allowing candidates to run for Congress with small contributions and public grants. Its goal is to eliminate candidates&#8217; reliance on big money contributors.</p>
<p>In response, Fair Elections Now Coalition &#8211; which includes groups such as the Brennan Center for Justice, Change Congress, Democracy Matters and U.S. Public Interest Research Group &#8211; released a statement suggesting the ongoing healthcare, energy and financial regulation debates are exposing the extent to which the legislative process in the U.S. has become dominated by powerful interest groups spending millions of dollars lobbying in Washington. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s apparent now more than ever that the only way to have a healthy, balanced debate is to free members of Congress from the constant pressures of fundraising,&#8221; it stressed. </p>
<p>H.R.1826 provides a public grant to those who qualify by collecting a set number of contributions in amounts of up to $100. Once qualified, the candidates can continue to raise small contributions that are matched on a four-to-one basis up to a limit. </p>
<p>The Senate has also introduced its version of the Fair Elections Now Act (S. 752) which is sponsored by Assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin of Illinois and Senator Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Democrat. </p>
