  New World Order Rams Through Sham Cap & Trade Bill

The U.S. House of Representatives are nothing more than prostitutes for the international banking cartel. Brothels in Washington D.C. were packed Friday afternoon with eager congressman who sold Americans out 219-212 in favor of The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES). Also dubbed "Waxman- Markey" the bill will implement the infamous cap-and-trade system on greenhouse gas emissions, signaling the NWO's final moves towards total financial bondage.

Under the guise of philanthropic style environmentalism, the New World Order is blasting forward with draconian legislation every week it seems. Using thuggish tactics such as switching bill numbers & phone numbers to DC representatives and of course, good old fashion disinofo bombs got the job done. Cap and trade sets a limit on the amount of greenhouse gases that a factory, business, utility, or other energy producer is allowed to emit The goal of the Waxman- Markey bill is to cut CO2 emissions by 17 percent by 2020.

Most energy producers and manufactures will be severely affected by these caps, bu the increase cost will be passed onto their customers through higher prices. Companies will purchase permits that will allow them to exceed the "cap" These permits will be issued by our gangster government, and then be auctioned off to the same companies participating in the cap-and trade system. The theory is to create a free market for carbon permits where the price is set by those being forced to participate in the new system.

Consumers will be affected the most by this these new caps on energy. Douglas Elmendorf, the director of the Commission Budget Office testified before the Committee on Finance in May. He says a cap-and trade system would be devastating to the working poor. According to Elmendorf, the cost to for an average American household would be $1,600 a year, with low-income households carrying a heavier burden because they spend more of their income on energy than higher-income households.

Remaining scraps from revenue created by the auctioning off of carbon permits will go to the families with lower incomes such as a whopping $161 per year tax credit for single persons and $359 for 5-person families. Here's the rub. According to Elmendorf, "such price increases would be essential to the success of a cap-and-trade program because they would be the most important mechanism through which businesses and households were encouraged to make investments and behavioral changes that reduced CO2."

   
The federal government will have an annual allowance of almost a trillion dollars worth of grants/ bribe money to use as they seem fit.. Much like the mafia acting as a middleman between people and businesses, the EPA will create a list of companies who are "trade sensitive" or rely on imports.

With General Electric's smart grid technology in place, energy companies along with their customers will have no other choice but to convert to the communist style system of rationing vital utilities. What smart grid visionaries foresee are home thermostats and appliances that adjust automatically depending on the cost of power.

The availability of $4.5 billion in federal economic recovery money for smart grid technology gives incentives for companies to convert over to the new digitalized grid.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu says, "If you want to create mischief one very good way to create a great deal of mischief is to actually bring down a smart grid system. This system has to be incredibly secure."

"Is the average consumer willing to pay the upfront costs of a new system and then respond appropriately to price signals? Or will people view a utility's ability to reach inside a home to turn down a thermostat as Orwellian?" Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said at a recent hearing on smart grid.

Lastly, there is the option for companies to avoid a cap on their CO2 emissions by offsetting them. Al Gore, part owner of carbon offset company Generation Investment Management testified in front of a congressional committee that a cap-and trade system along with a direct carbon tax would be ideal.

Limiting the amount of CO2 will do nothing to help make the planet less warm, make us energy independent or create millions of jobs. It will on the other hand destroy whatever is left of our industry here in the North American Union by leaving companies no choice but to move offshore. Some of the biggest oil reserves in the world are here in North America, yet we rely on foreign oil. The elites indirectly control every facet our life.

Citizens will never be energy independent until every home is off the grid. Green jobs will include heavily fluoridated drones enforcing new EPA laws/codes. Besides, the amount of jobs that will be lost due to companies either moving offshore orgoing bankrupt will certainly be higher than the millions created by our fuhrer. With the hookers in Washington granting dictatorial powers to the Federal Reserve last week, it seems as though HR 2998 is part a two prong attack. The New World Order is moving fast, and there is really only two more obstacles in their way: our right to speak freely and our right to protect ourselves.

Just send your tax payments directly to Algore. An extra $7500 a year will be fine.

I watched a little of this debate on CSPAN Friday and got to see the one-party theater in action.

The asses' leadership didn't have enough votes to pass the bill and the elephants were taking turns speaking out against it. Their argument was that nobody had enough time to read the entire bill

Time ran out for the elephants and they should have voted even if there weren't enough votes to pass it.

Thanks to an unwritten rule of congress that gives the leadership of a party the privilege of using "a few extra minutes" to make their point, the minority leader was granted an additional hour to nitpick a paragraph here and a sentence there.

This allowed the asses (and probably some elephants too) to drum up the votes they needed to pass the new tax bill.

Gore is just a tool of all this.

EPA Quashed Report Skeptical of Global Warming.

CNET reports that less than two weeks before the EPA formally submitted its pro-carbon dioxide regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty 'decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data.' In an e-mail message (pdf) to a staff researcher on March 17, the EPA official wrote: 'The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward...and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision.' The employee was also ordered not to 'have any direct communication' with anyone outside his small group at EPA on the topic of climate change, and was informed his report would not be shared with the agency group working on the topic. In a statement, the EPA took aim at the credentials of the report's author, Alan Carlin (BS Physics-Caltech, PhD Econ-MIT), describing him as 'not a scientist.' BTW, the official who chastised Carlin also found himself caught up in a 2005 brouhaha over mercury emissions after top EPA officials ordered the findings of a Harvard University study stripped from public records.

yea there is some talk about criminal activity and the vote being nulled

[John Edward Mercier]

NH has been under cap-n-trade since the RGGI passed and was signed into statute a few years back...
At the national level, since the SCOTUS finding in Mass vs. EPA... not sure what would be the best outcome. Congress or EPA? Pick your poison.

I pick "or".

Gore is just a tool of all this.

He's a well paid tool. And even though I suspect he has the IQ of warm buttermilk, even he is not so stupid as to not be aware that he's profiting from a scam.

[John Edward Mercier]

Gore actually believes that science can pick the perfect level of atmospheric carbon.
Its one of the few areas that Lovelockeans and Nansens digress. Lovelockeans believe the planet is self-regulating and will seek a natural balance, while Nansens believe that it won't.

Oddly its not that warm from a paleoclimate perspective.

Much of the bill is even worse than thought. Get ready for housing prices to artificially skyrocket because this bill, if passed, will federally-mandate the price of your current house go down because it's not "energy efficient" enough, and the price of new houses will increase to meet the new federal mandates. You won't be able to sell your old house if its too not energy efficient, and you won't be able to afford to buy another. Nice.

[violence]

cap and tax.

our govt is our of control when will people have enough

[John Edward Mercier]

Actually most purchasers assess energy efficiency as part of their decision on the value of a home already. It may affect some mortgage instruments, but in general those are the ones that are government-guaranteed...

[Ogre]

Ah, but now you will be required to assess such things, and after a few years, if your house does not meet arbitrary requirements, you will not be allowed by the government to even sell your house. And they think foreclosures are bad now.
