They Can Run, But They Can't Hide Their Crimes Forever
The scoundrels masquerading as climate scientist already have motivated billions of dollars of wasted public funds as “investments” in uneconomic green boondoggles and inflicted unnecessary increases in energy costs on the public, hurting the poor more than anyone else.

Michael Moore
Liberal-progressive multiculturalism - our educational euphemism for the one-world-government aspiration of socialism - begets virulent anti-Americanism. Michael Moore, a voluble exemplar of that ethos, understandably is drawn to the liberal media frenzy surrounding the Occupy Wall Street demonstration.
For additional background information, read about Moore’s encomium to Castro and his slandering of anti-Castro Cubans.

Global Warming and Gnostic Paganism
The modern irruption of religious gnosticism, exemplified in the philosophical materialism of socialism, is a paradigm in which an intellectual elite see themselves alone possessed of special knowledge to restructure societies and perfect human life here on earth.
That sort of hubristic pretension to knowledge is simply a liberal-progressive urge to supplant our Creator God. It was described thousands of years ago in the Biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge to become like God. Such pretension has always resulted in expulsion from Eden.
Lenin and Stalin, backed by their American liberal-progressive supporters, were prepared to liquidate tens of millions of citizens in order to impose socialistic materialism, believing they were creating social, political, and economic perfection for future generations. Today’s believers in man-made global warming are prepared to wreck the world economy, casting millions of people into penury, to finance their schemes for reduction of so-called greenhouse gases.
Read this excerpt from Cardinal George Pell’s Global Warming Policy Forum annual lecture Wednesday at Westminster Cathedral Hall, London.

Energy Department’s Stimulus Crime Wave
Jonathan Tobin Comments on the Commentary website.
Quote:
In testimony before the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, Gregory Friedman, the DOE’s Inspector General, said that his office had launched more than 100 criminal investigations in probes of the 2009 stimulus spending that emanated from that department. While the Solyndra debacle has garnered a great deal of attention in recent weeks, the problem goes deeper than the bogus activities of just one company. This government crime wave was focused on false submissions and claims as well as fraudulent use of funds. During the course of his presentation Friedman pointed to the fact that, despite what President Obama claimed at the time, that, “in reality, few ‘shovel ready projects’ existed.”
