Rudd’s Hair

Andrew Bolt of Herald Sun on Friday August 14, 2009

Michael Smith‘s editorial on 4BC yesterday seemed to go down very well:

Here’s a way to understand Mr Rudd’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.

Imagine 1 kilometre of atmosphere that we want to rid of human carbon pollution.  We’ll have a walk along it.  The first 770 metres are Nitrogen.  The next 210 metres are Oxygen.  That’s 980 metres of the 1 kilometre.  20 metres to go.  The next 10 metres are water vapour.  10 metres left.  9 metres are argon.  Just 1 more metre.  A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre.  The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre – that’s carbon dioxide.  A bit over one foot.  97% of that is produced by Mother Nature.  It’s natural.   Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left.  About half an inch.  Just over a centimetre.  That’s the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere.  And of those 12 millimetres Australia puts in .18 of a millimetre.  Less than the thickness of a hair.  Out of a kilometre.

As a hair is to a kilometre – so is Australia’s contribution to what Mr Rudd calls Carbon Pollution.  (more…)

Ahmadinejad: Obama Must Choose Iran or Israel

Iranian President Mahmoud AhmadinejadFriday, 13 November 2009 – ICEJ
  
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said President Barack Obama must choose between Israel and Iran. The comment was made Tuesday in Istanbul during an economic address before the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference.

“The support of both Israel and Iran can’t go hand in hand. No change is made unless great choices are made,” said Ahmadinejad. “We will clasp any hand that is extended sincerely toward us, but changes should be made in practice.”

During a briefing at the Middle East Institute in Washington, Undersecretary of State William Burns responded to the remarks: “We seek a relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We do not seek regime change. We have condemned terrorist attacks against Iran.

Oprah or Jesus: Who’s right?- Evangelical author Josh McDowell takes on theology of media icon

Oprah Winfrey - New Age / False ProphetPosted on WorldNetDaily on October 04, 2009

DALLAS, Texas – “One of the mistakes that human beings make is believing that there is only one way to live, and we don’t accept that there are diverse ways to being in the world. There are many paths to what you call God.”

Oprah Winfrey said it. And when she did, many Americans who love Oprah believed it. But one of the best-selling living evangelical authors, Josh McDowell, is not about to sit back and let that statement go unchallenged.

The result is a very unusual book – both in Christian publishing and in the world of secular literature.

Get your autographed copy of “O God” exclusively from the team that published it – WND Books and the WND Superstore.

It’s called “O God: A Dialogue on Truth and Oprah’s Spirituality” – and its official debut in bookstores nationwide comes tomorrow.

“As Christian apologists who believe that salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone, we wanted to create a fictional, almost Socratic dialogue that would cover many of the themes of Oprah Winfrey’s spiritual teaching in recent years,” explain McDowell and co-author Dave Sterrett in their preface.

Hackers ‘expose global warming con’: Sceptics claim that leaked emails reveal research centre massaged temperature data

Hackers targeted the University of East Anglia\'s Climatic Research Unit, pictured, and published sensitive emails on the internetMail Online by Fiona Macrae 21st November 2009

One of the world’s leading climate change research centres has been accused of manipulating data on global warming after thousands of private emails and documents were leaked.

Hackers targeted the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and published the files, including some personal messages, on the internet.

Among the most damaging is one which appears to suggest using a ‘trick’ to massage years of temperature data to ‘hide the decline’.

The CRU, which plays a leading role in compiling UN reports and tracks long-termchanges in temperature, has repeatedly refused to provide detailed information about the data underlying the temperature records.

It is thought that this could have triggered the theft. Climate change sceptics claim that some of the leaked messages discuss ways of manipulating data that fails to comply with the establishment view that climate change is real and is being driven by man.

Brazil’s March for Jesus Draws 1.5 Million Evangelicals

March 4 Jesus BrazilBy Ethan Cole|Christian Post Reporter Tue, Nov. 03 2009

The annual “March for Jesus” event in Brazil drew more than 1.5 million evangelical Christians Monday.

In its 17th year, the event brings together hundreds of evangelical churches in a country that is home to the world’s largest Roman Catholic population. Seventy-four percent of the country describes themselves as Roman Catholic.

The march is held each year on the same day the Catholic Church celebrates the Corpus Christi holiday, which is not observed by evangelical Protestants but is a national holiday in Brazil.

Participants marched 2.5 miles in San Paulo and heard music from Christian bands and messages from preachers and local celebrities, according to The Associated Press.

The event was sponsored by Reborn in Christ Church, whose leaders had recently returned after serving a combined year’s worth of U.S. legal punishment for attempted money smuggling. The punishment included a prison sentence, house arrest, and probation. Estevam Hernandes Filho and his wife, Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes, had failed to declare $56,000 in cash that they had carried on a flight from San Paulo to Miami. The money was hidden among a child’s backpack, a Bible case and other bags.

Scientology is a criminal organisation rife with beatings, abortion, and fraud, claims Australian Senator

Senator Nick XenophonDear family & friends in Christ,
 
We thank our Most High God, the Lord Jesus Christ, for the Light and Truth of His Word increasingly revealing the hidden works of spiritual darkness in our nation! 
 
“Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Bu rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:26-28
 
On 17th October on Mount Ainslie in Canberra, we prayed that Satan’s kingdom and his diabolical activities in Australia would be increasingly exposed and justly dealt with in the righteous Name above all names, the Lord Jesus Christ!
 
First it was the Copenhagen Treaty (Global Warming), the One World Government plans for Australia and the Nations of the World!
 
Now it’s “Scientology”!  Read below the article ‘Scientology is a criminal organisation rife with beatings, abortion, and fraud, claims Australian senator’.

Victory for Life: Director of a Planned Parenthood Clinic Resigns after Watching Abortion Ultrasound

by Kathleen Gilbert: Nov 4, 2009: LifeSiteNews.com

“This is by far the most amazing thing that has happened to the Coalition for Life throughout its entire history…we thank God!”

Abby Johnson(Bryan, Texas)—The director of the Texas Planned Parenthood abortion mill, where the 40 Days for Life campaign began, has resigned saying she experienced a conversion after watching an ultrasound video of a child being killed by abortion.

“I just thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’ and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought, ‘that’s it,'” said Abby Johnson in an interview with local news network KBTX 3.

Johnson had been affiliated with Bryan’s Planned Parenthood facility for eight years, and worked as its director for two. She said she began to feel uncomfortable with Planned Parenthood’s business philosophy after the organization, suffering from the economic downturn, told her to try to bring more abortions in the door. “The money wasn’t in family planning, the money wasn’t in prevention, the money was in abortion and so I had a problem with that,” said Johnson.

But the turning point for Johnson was reportedly when she witnessed an actual ultrasound image of an abortion being performed on an unborn child.

Update on ‘climate change’ legislation – ACT NOW!

The Bill(s) now go to the Senate, where the numbers will be very tight.

A vote is expected next week. At least ten Coalition Senators are actively opposed to the emissions trading scheme and want the Coalition to oppose it – whilst the Leader of the Opposition Malcolm Turnbull is still negotiating with the government for some ‘changes’.

Praise God for Free Speech Victory

by Andrea Minichiello Williams of Christian Concern for our Nation in the UK

Dear Friends and Supporters

We are writing with wonderful news of deliverance from the pernicious attempt by the Government last night (11th November) to remove Lord Waddington’s free speech shield from the face of the laws of this land.
 
In a remarkable debate the House of Lords stood firm against the Government’s fourth attempt to impose its will upon them. Thanks to their steadfastness the vital democratic right to free speech was upheld, the police will have clarity about cases they do not need to investigate and ordinary, peaceful Christians and others who wish to be free to express orthodox Christian views on sexual ethics will not have their freedom so to do unreasonably interfered with.

Lord Monckton Trashes Al Gore’s Global Warming Nonsense

Lord Christopher Monckton by Matthew Vadum

Lord Christopher Monckton (pictured above), former UN Ambassador John Bolton, and Glenn Beck examined Al Gore’s shoddy global warming science and hypocrisy, along with the dangers of the Copenhagen climate treaty on Beck’s Friday TV show.

Monckton said the treaty would lead to global government. The powers provided in the pact are “enormous,” he said. “They are greater than any government has now.”

Lord Monckton challenged Al Gore to debate him on the science of global warming. Addressing Gore, Monckton said, “and if you don’t dare, I want you to remain silent about that subject forever from now on.”

Of course Gore won’t accept the challenge. Others have asked Gore to debate the science of global warming and he’s consistently refused to do so.

He has much to lose — financially and otherwise.

Obama can’t be bothered by Islamic terrorism – Move on? Yes he can!

KILLEEN, TX - NOVEMBER 07: U.S. Army Specialist Ryan Hill and his daughter, Emma Hill,3, pray together as they light a candle and lay flowers at the front gate to Fort Hood following a shooting rampage on the grounds November 7, 2009 in Killeen, Texas. U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and wounded as many as 30 in a shooting rampage at the Soldier Readiness Center on the grounds of the military base Fort Hood on November 5, 2009. (Photo by Joe Posted on November 8, 2009 by Ralph Peters of New York Post

In the wake of the terrorist strike on our soldiers at Fort Hood, one individual’s still missing in action: Our commander in chief. The massacre’s 51 casualties, including 13 dead, were insufficient to drag President Obama away from the White House Happy Hour.

We just saw the worst terror attack on America since 9/11. And Obama couldn’t adjust his schedule to support our grieving troops.

Instead, we got his subtle defense of the perp: Unwilling to use the word “terror,” let alone the phrase “Islamist terror,” Obama warned us not to “rush to judgment.”
 
A Muslim fanatic, known to the FBI as a fan of suicide bombers and to colleagues as an opponent of our government, coolly buys weapons, heads to a military facilityhe knows will be packed with unsuspecting soldiers, waits for the crowd to thicken, then shouts, “Allah is great!” and guns down 51 patriots, calmly reloading among the dead and dying.
