Back in 1956 there was a science fiction movie entitled ”Invasion of the Body Snatchers”.  A re-make of the movie was released in 1978.  Both films were done fairly well and were a hit at the box office.

For those of you unfamiliar with the film, “seeds” from outer space descended on America and started growing into fairly large, man-sized pods.  Through some mechanism the pod would select a victim and when the victim was asleep, the pod would start giving birth to an exact replica of the sleeping victim and before he could awake, the replica took his place and the original body disintegrated.  In the end, the newly constituted bodies acted as a collective, collecting pods from the fields where they were being cultivated and distributing them widely throughout the land, thereby propagating the invasion.  If a person recognized the plan and what was going on, there was no escape.  They were immediately pointed out, captured, put to sleep and their body replaced by the contents of a pod.  At the end Kevin McCarthy, the lead actor in the original version, saw what was taking place and realized that there was no defense.  The Earth was doomed.

This tragic, deadly, and destructive weather -- not to mention the droughts in Georgia, California, Kansas, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, North Dakota, and elsewhere across the country -- are consistent with the changes scientists predicted would come with global warming. Gov. Chet Culver (D-IA) called the three weeks of storms that gave rise to the floods in his state "historic in proportion," saying "very few people could anticipate or prepare for that type of event." Culver is, unfortunately, wrong. As far back as 1995, analysis by the National Climatic Data Center showed that the United States "had suffered a statistically significant increase in a variety of extreme weather events." In 2007, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that it is "very likely" that man-made global warming will bring an "increase in frequency of hot extremes, heat waves and heavy precipitation." The Nobel Prize-winning panel of thousands of scientists and government officials also found, "Altered frequencies and intensities of extreme weather, together with sea level rise, are expected to have mostly adverse effects on natural and human systems." In 2002, scientists said that "increased precipitation, an expected outcome of climate change, may cause losses of US corn production to double over the next 30 years -- additional damage that could cost agriculture $3 billion per year." Scientists have also found that the "West will see devastating droughts as global warming reduces the amount of mountain snow and causes the snow that does fall to melt earlier in the year."

Ben Bernanke, Condoleezza Rice, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton amongst a host of other global power brokers have all convened in Chantilly Virginia to secretly discuss the future of the world - yet not one mainstream U.S. corporate media outlet has uttered a single word about the 2008 Bilderberg conference.

Bilderbergers seem to enjoy visiting the U.S. because they can be assured that in the "land of the free," the American "free press" are certain to follow orders and not print even a puff piece about a confab of over 125 of the globe’s most influential movers and shakers.

A Google News search on "Bilderberg," which is now in its third day, returns 47 results, all of which consist of reprints from this website and a smattering of other alternative media reports, in addition to a few snippets out of the Netherlands and Turkey.

The Australian Broadcasting Company has a question for children: When should you die to save the planet?

They have made a cute little game with pigs to show the kids how much of a “greenhouse pig” they are, and at what age they should have died. I took the test. It told me I should have died when I was 3.6 years old.

The site accomplishes two tasks at once, instilling antihuman environmentalist propaganda, while at the same time establishing that authorities are in a position to determine how long you should live.

This is what moonbats present to children online, where their parents can see it. Imagine what they’re teaching kids at school.

Move over, Klondike bars: The polar bear is about to have its moment.

In what can only be regarded as a marketing triumph for the global-warming camp, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced last week that it was listing the polar bear as a federally "threatened" species. (Several leading environmental groups had petitioned the government back in 2005.)

While the move might not seem like a big deal to most consumers, the environmental marketing cognoscenti say it potentially could have a hefty impact in communicating the impact of global warming to a mass market that still doesn't quite believe such a thing exists. "The polar bear is the poster boy of climate change," says Hugh Hough, founder of Green Team, a New York ad and communications agency that helps companies audit their supply chain, and then promote authentic environmental and sustainable activities.

In his story, “Analysis: Polar Bear's Impact on People is Felt,” Hebert explained that the polar brings a “face” to the global warming debate. Whereas scientists have “long have talked of the visible damage that global warming has done to sea coral” this has “escaped the notice of the average person.” However, the polar bear, according to Wildlife Conservation Society President Steven E. Sanderson as quoted in the article, is different because it is “big, it's charismatic and it's powerful. It's beautiful and it generates sympathy. If it blinks out, you'll notice.”
