I think Obama should just draft Spitzer as a special prosecutor for Wall Street. Give him extraordinary powers to examine any operation he thinks smells. A good staff of lawyer/accountants. Calculators with extra digits..

The Coming Insanity Of The Green Agenda...

Just to let you know what you can look forward to, if John "Skull & Bones" Kerry,
and Lindsey "The Boy Toy" Graham are successful in resurrecting Cap & Trade.

Say hello once again to the psyhopathic control freaks from the Frankfurt School
and Tavistock. Same old communist control freak agenda, just a new way of instituting it.

This has nothing to do with the environment, and everything to do
with smothering people with so many new regulations and bureaucracies,
that people become so overwhelmed and demoralized, that they give up
all efforts to resist the looting by the new governing elite and the monopoly
corporatists...



UK Families Forced To Use 9 Different Recycling Bins By Green Fanatics

Families are facing a nightmare future of recycling confusion.

In a regime set to spread across the country, residents are
being forced to juggle an astonishing nine separate bins.

There has already been a storm of protest with warnings that
the scheme is too complex and homes simply don’t have the
space to deal with the myriad bins, bags and boxes.

The containers include a silver slopbucket for food waste,
which is then tipped in to a larger, green outdoor food bin,
a pink bag for plastic bottles, a green bag for cardboard,
and a white bag for clothing and textiles.

Paper and magazines go in blue bags, garden waste in a wheelie
bin with a brown lid, while glass, foil, tins and empty aerosols
should go in a blue box, with a grey wheelie bin for non-
recyclable waste.

The strict regulations have been introduced as councils come
under growing pressure to cut the amount of household rubbish
they send to landfill.

However, they go far beyond anything previously expected from
householders and families.

Pressure on councils to enforce recycling schemes includes
rising taxes on everything they send to landfill and the
threat of European Union fines if they fail to hit EU targets
from 2013 onwards.

Compulsory recycling is commonly enforced by bin police who
can impose £100 on-the-spot fines for breaches like overfilled
wheelie bins, extra rubbish left out, or bins put out at the
wrong time.

If people do not pay the fines, they can be taken to court,
where they face increased penalties of £1,000 and criminal
records.

Officials in Newcastle-under-Lyme in North Staffordshire
anticipated trouble when they introduced the nine-bin system
last month.

Mrs Butler, 58, who is secretary of her local residents’
association in Newcastle and a former councillor, said the
terrace homes in her street had no gardens, yet were expected
to accommodate bulky bins for garden waste.

Mrs Butler, who lives with husband Nick, 59, a retired lab
worker, said: ‘I have had to take my brown bin down to my
allotment - there simply isn’t room in my back yard to house
it.’

Under the previous recycling system in the borough,
householders had to juggle with the five containers
that have become common in compulsory recycling and
fortnightly collection schemes throughout the country.

The new system was introduced by the local council to help
boost recycling rates from 26 per cent in 2008 to a target
of 50 per cent by 2015.

It means only food waste is now taken each week. All other
rubbish has to be stored for a fortnight before it is
collected.

Mrs Butler said that whereas previously, only one wagon would
collect their recycling, now up to three different lorries and
crews do the job.

Samantha Dudley, 34, an office administrator from Newcastle,
said recycling bags and their contents blowing in the street
were a ‘constant problem’.

She said: ‘This scheme is supposed to increase recycling but
the irony is it is creating more rubbish.

Around half the country now has fortnightly collection systems
imposed by town halls that prefer to compel their residents to
carry out complex recycling than either organise recycling
themselves in waste plants or absorb the cost of landfill taxes.

Some Tory-controlled authorities have been among the
cheerleaders for compulsory recycling and fortnightly
collections despite criticism from their own party’s shadow
ministers who have accused Labour of forcing councils to
behave like ‘bin bullies’.

A number of Tory councils are expected to continue to be
among the front-runners in enforcing recycling.

PS: Glen Beck featured an expose` on Cap & Trade during
his show this evening.

Beck finally made the connection between the Cap & Trade
Green Agenda and global governance (but failed to mention
the Club of Rome Think Tank)...

As well as the "monopoly capitalism" connections between
Barack Obama & Chicago's Joyce Foundation, and Al Gore,
Goldman Sachs & the Chicago Climate Exchange.

I'm happy that someone in the mainstream media
is finally explaining to the public that Cap & Trade
is nothing but smoke and mirrors, and will make the
transfer of wealth that occurred from CDO's, CDS's
and subprime mortgage derivative trading - seem like
child's play. Not to mention scores of new bureaucracies
and taxes, massive increases in utilty bills, and another
wave of industry and jobs exiting America with US taxpayers
footing the bill.

I pounded the table on all of this a year ago as they crammed
the Waxman-Markey Cap & Trade, Energy bill down our throats...

With no signs of global warming over the last 15 years,
and the fake pseudo-science of global warming exposed
by the East Anglia "climategate scandal"... I can't
believe that they have the guts to try to cram this down
our throats again... but, actually I can, because this
is the same game plan they used with the Lisbon Treaty
in Europe.

No is not an acceptable answer.

Not from the debt slaves anyway.
