Copenhagen Accord
“The current Global Warming Debate is not about temperature or CO2 levels. It is an ideological clash between those who want to change us (rather than the climate) and those who believe in freedom, markets, human ingenuity, and technical progress. The advocates of global warming alarmism ask for an almost unprecedented expansion of government intrusion, of government intervention into our lives and of government control over us. We are pushed into accepting rules about how to live, what to do, how to behave, what to consume, what to eat, how to travel. It is unacceptable.” – Hon Vaclav Klaus, President Czech Republic
On December 7th, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) began its last government-level conference in Copenhagen, Denmark before the Kyoto Protocol is scheduled to expire in 2012. The Kyoto Protocol, which established the infamous treaty to combat supposed global warming, was signed by President Bill Clinton but never ratified by the U.S. Senate. This time, things could be different. The UNFCCC is putting forth a strong effort to establish a new “Copenhagen Protocol” to replace Kyoto and in the US, the stage is set to enforce agreements made in Copenhagen, even without Senate approval.
The Copenhagen conference hosted representatives from over 170 nations including the United States. President Obama and congressional leaders made it a goal to enact domestic cap-and-trade legislation prior to arriving at the Copenhagen conference. The House passed the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, also known as ACES. It’s now pending approval in the Senate. The Copenhagen conference ended without any meaningful or binding agreement, so should the legislative processes fail to produce a domestic cap and trade law, President Obama has a plan: bypassing the legislature and regulating carbon dioxide via the Environmental Protection Agency.
President Obama had intended to sign a new “Copenhagen Protocol,” which critics say would be a back-door approach to world government that could undermine US sovereignty. Indeed, the framework language assembled by the UNFCCC did appear to establish global government and a world energy tax that will primarily target the United States. It should be noted that the United Nations is currently funded by voluntary donations from member nations. It has no taxing authority, but the draft treaty language would have established a permanent tax revenue stream for the UN. Perhaps thanks in part to growing opposition to the plan, coupled with the leak of “climategate” emails that showed data manipulation and other deceptive practices by leading UN climate scientists, the UN conference in Copenhagen fell apart. President Obama has been heralded in the press for saving the conference and helping bring about an international agreement – but the agreement is next to meaningless (for that, we can be thankful).
The Copenhagen Accord is a non-binding agreement of principles, including the audacious goal to set the world’s thermostat, limiting the average global temperature increase to 2 degrees C. It also provides that the participating nations should, by January 31st of 2010 come up with proposals for how they will mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. Lastly, the agreement alludes to the establishment of an international fund of $100 billion by 2020 which would be used to transfer money to developing nations to discourage deforestation and pay for lower-emission infrastructure. Not specified is where the money will come from, who will administer it, or who will get it.
The Obama Administration has made the regulation of carbon dioxide a top priority. With or without the approval of Congress, he’s moving ahead with cap and tax plans.
Although the Copenhagen treaty negotiations fell apart, President Obama has made it clear that he intends to pursue the policies, with or without a treaty. Before the Copenhagen conference began, he said that the Copenhagen talks should produce an “immediate operational effect,” even if a legally binding treaty isn’t agreed upon.
With the EPA’s recent announcement of an endangerment finding regarding CO2, the Obama Administration is equipped with ostensible authority to act on the agreements made in Copenhagen without any need for the normal Senate ratification, or even a simple majority vote in Congress that would normally be needed to enact legislation.

I am totally against the signing of any treaty which threatens the security and sovernigty of the United States of America.
Communism at its best!!! its sad to see this all happening but it is in fact prophecy. From a Christian standpoint it just shows that we are getting closer and closer to Christ’s 2nd coming! If your focused on that then Obama , Nazi Pelosi, or any other anti-U.S. people really even matter. God bless

Thad – yes we need to be watchmen for sure and praying. However, as Christians we have a huge responsibility to uphold our Constitution and our freedom and the American way of life based on Christian principles. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to lay down and submit to authority such as impending communism or sharia law. We are to fight for the Christian way of life, fight the enemies foreign and domestic to uphold our Christian rights. Otherwise, we will be submitting and bowing to Islam instead of God our Father. We will not be able to share our faith and increase the kingdom of heaven! God in no way would agree with our laying down and giving up. So, we must with our last breaths, if necessary, fight for what is right to preserve our Constitutional freedoms and share the gospel. To lay down and embrace impending communism would be wrong. To lay down and just let evil win over good is wrong. It is lazy and it is not Christian. We are to submit to authority within reason if that authority is not taking away our right to worship, share the gospel or replacing our God. The impending evil will take away all three. We must fight – and I am not too sure where you feel America is mentioned and that it will become a communist nation. We need to pray and call out to God for a re-dedication of our Christian spirit and ensure that we preserve this nation as so many soldiers before us have done. God will bless these efforts and his flock will be multiplied. To do anything less is cowardly. It is time to stand and be counted. We have no idea when the rapture will happen – but in the sequence of things it may be pre-trib or pre-wrath. We may go thru a huge time of deceiving and the church may be deceived by this very thinking that makes us totally useless to the enlargement of God’s family. We must be careful what we tend to fall back on as prophesy. It may be prophesy somewhere in the country but nowhere are we named as having to succumb to evil.
We’ll said.
Watching the world and knowing Bible prophecy surely makes the news more interesting than scary and just makes me more in awe of God. Maranatha!
Prophecy at it’s best. The Democrats don’t get it. Blog till your blue in the face. It is time to impeach this man before we all are slaves to this evil dictator. If your a Christian, he can’t show he has a birth certificate! He’s a pawn aka the………..!
Revelation is unfolding right now!!!!! We need to try to stop the signing of this treaty!!!
I agree these events are happening because we are in the end times. Remember God are Father is in control.
We must also stand for him and how he told us to live and to honor him by fighting for our countries principles. We as christians will educate many people by
educate many people and give them the opportunity to see the truth As for the rest oh well. God knows their hearts and I respectfully leave in his hands.
this is so evil it is scary
This is a very scary step towards socialism – we are becoming a fabianistic society. !
Stop the madness! How did a communist get elected in the United States? Every day he chips away at our freedom.
because the American public is a bunch of morons
I second that … a nation of morons
I read these comments pitying individuals that left them. Obama is not the issue; Man is the issue. Our freedoms have been compromised before Obama’s administration. BUSH (who, like many presidents before him) is a member of the Skull and Bones. That organization is predicated on world domination and the subjugation of all that are not willing to bow to there edicts. What we are witnessing is continous process that caught serious momentum after 9/11, which occured during Bush’s administration. It was horrible, but no one can convince me that America did not see that coming. What happen after that event–our freedoms and peace of mind were jeopardized. We ate Bush’s nonsense, which set the stage for his predecessor. We are so distracted with consumption and media bunk that we are unaware that the impending Treaty has been in the works by our leaders for decades. Fight for your rights, but this snowball effect has been foretold for centuries. America will lead the world government, but its people will be prisoners. If Obama is kicked out, then it will be a republican that will carry their plans out. Check the facts! Every president has been a member of a secret soceity. And we all know that those guys are up to no good. Sorry, the time has come.
Remember that Kerry is a member of Skull and Bones. So, if he had won the presidency he would have been another presidential member of the secret society. So, don’t make it appear that only the republican Bush was a member. I’m sure there are other members of congress that belong as well.
Yes, the liberals have convinced, wrongly, many that the sky is falling. Now our goofy President is really going to stick his foot in the Country’s mouth by subjecting us to the treaty. This is total madness. I can only pray that there are enough congressmen & congresswoment that have their heads screwed on right! The only alternate, if President Obama follows through with the signing, is to impeach him. That in itself is unlikely if the Senate votes the way the House has.
I’ve read through all these clauses, and my qestion is, “so what’s wrong with these things? It appears to me that this treaty is EXACTLY what the world needs. Of course, if we think maintaining our wasteful lifestyle is more important than that of future generations and the rest of the world, then perhaps we should continue with the misconception that the U.S. deserves all the world’s resources. Heck, who cares about anyone else, right? I’m sorry to see intelligent people pulled in by these scare tactics. It’s time to realize that we are part of a world community. As an international teacher, my eyes have been opened. Try opening yours to the rest of the world and let go of this “Me, Me, Me” tunnel vision!
Well, if climate change is really due to human activity then I could somehow believe that ‘’some” of the clause are for a ”good” cause. In fact, I never did research from my own so I can only rely on things I see and hear, so far I dont believe that we are the cause of climate change so I dont believe that imposing more and more taxes and way to consume is a good thing for humanity.
What makes this country great is the fact that it is a SOVEREIGN entity, just like any other country. No one single entity should reign over EVERYONE. That kind of absolute power corrupts completely (look it up…read your Bible or just study your history, it has happened and will again). Yes, we are part of a world community. Take away your sovereignty (i.e. freedom) and you lose your identity as what you are now, American. Just watch…
Open your eyes Ann Mary your almost asleep at 1:37 Am. This country is doing what it can to keep the lights on for YOU and reduce greenhouse gases and if you don’t like it head for that cave and stay there. I have 2 small children and it disturbs me to no end when I see the SO CALLED SENATORS & THAT UNDOCUMENTED GUY IN OUR WHITE HOUSE giving this ONCE great country AWAY. Your probably a Pelosi lover well next time you see her you ask her why she swapped in her Leer Jet if im not mistaken, and got a 737 that burns 70,000# ( or 35 TONS ) IMAGINE TONS of fuel to get her sickening A– back to ca. twice a week!!!!!!!!! Just a reminder watch the Discovery Channel and it will show you where 1/2 of the gases come from the EARTH. O yeah and by the way watch the highs and lows on your forecasts at night. You will see as far back as records go there has been hotter days than are shown for the day you’re in. HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Ann Marie,
selfless service, compassion for others and the protection of the environment are all good things. that is not what this is about. cap and trade is about a dictator control state taking property from one group, keeping most of that for themselves[ goldman sachs, rothchild, bilderburg, etc.] and passing on the crumbs to the rest of the players. nobody wins except the control group. and the environment stays the same. if you want to help- plant a tree, help your neighbor, support liberty. the world will thank you later.
Climate change/ Global warming whatever you want to call it, is a TOTAL SCAM and should not be allowed to pass.
All the male members of my family have served our country in order to protect and defend it from those that would want to impose upon us their ideas and believes that are not our own. And now we have a president along with many of his party that want destory that which I spent most of my adult life to defend. The president has the authority to make treaties but not to turn against the majority of freedom loving Americans. He dose not have the power to betray this great nation as he looks as if he is going to do. He needs to be stoped.
Prophecy at it’s best. I am against the signing of any treaty that threatens the United States of America. world Government is not a positive approach.
I am against the signing of this and any treaty which threatens the security and sovernigty of the United States of America.
I am absolutely against the signing of the Cap and Trade bill which appears to be before the Senate now. It should never have gotten through the House in the first place. I do NOT want to be on the road for any world protocol for global warming to be signed in Copenhagen to replace the Kyoto Protocol.
Are we are going in the right direction? Yea if you want to be another poor socialist has been country like Russia. Hope and change suck.
Bible prophesy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. Father deliver us from the evil that is before us. I do not agree that our President should sign any treaty that puts our country at such jeopardy.
President Obama, if you sign this Treaty you are singing away America’s sovereignty.
The cost to jobs and productivity will devastate this wonderful country.
Do Not sign this Treaty.
If President Obama signs this treaty he clearly does not have America’s best interests at heart.
I do not believe in America any longer. That President Obama is leading the US into The New World order, a prophesy I heard in a sermon 20 years ago.
DO NOT SIGN THIS TREATY PRESIDENT OBAMA
please do not sighn treaty in and donot give my country of the United States of America to any World Goverment
Nice to see everybody opening their eyes to this. This was predicted years ago duringthe Clinton administration and this was laughed at by the people of this country and by the media. The people are finally waking up on this and realizing just what it has come down to, the lost of our freedoms and soverinty. It is now becoming a biblical event for this world and everbody must now start urging the main stream media to get off their ass and start reporting this on the news and what it is going to do to the world we live in.
If Obama signs this treaty, we must continue to urge the Senate not to ratify it. Its not legally applicable to the U.S. if the Senate doesn’t approve it. But we need to let everyone we know and our representatives that we do not support cap and trade (tax!) and do not want Obama to sign this treaty . . . (or is his name really Barry Sotero?) Seriously, search the name.
Ann Marie- “…if we think maintaining our wasteful lifestyle is more important than that of future generations and the rest of the world” You assume to know my thinking, and my lifestyle. I for one do think of the future generations THEIR FREEDOMS. The freedoms my ancestors died for to give them. The world did not give them those freedoms.
“..then perhaps we should continue with the misconception that the U.S. deserves all the world’s resources.”
We deserve our own since they are produced through our labors. Perhaps you would prefer to live in a cave gathering nuts and berries so that you don’t overtax your resources.” Last time I checked We were and are the most generous nation on the planet when it comes to providing for the needs of others.
“Heck, who cares about anyone else, right? I’m sorry to see intelligent people pulled in by these scare tactics. It’s time to realize that we are part of a world community. As an international teacher, my eyes have been opened. Try opening yours to the rest of the world and let go of this “Me, Me, Me” tunnel vision!
I am glad you said this. My question for you is when are you going to take the doors off your house and make duplicates to all your keys, so that the rest of us can come over and partake of your personal resources you worked for? Or are you going to say it’s mine. I earned it?
Oh, America, America, will freedom ring no more? This must be stopped people! We are the only true free nation left! Don’y let us be sold into bondage!!!
For the love of God! Take off your blinders people! Yes, our way of life is going to change in one short year. Like it hasn’t already with the ganster banks being pardoned and the oil companies charging triple what gas should cost. When is this health care document going to be available to the “people” to see? – NOT. Just like the wars and the new laws etc, etc, etc have never been put to the “people” to vote on, this treaty will never be put to the people to vote on either. Democracy? Not any more. Hind sight is always 20-20 so take the time to look back a few presidents to see how this has come about.
Obama and his people fooled you once, can he fool you twice? Will you take your blinders off and really pay attention or will you stay glued to your couch and again do nothing but complain? Prepare now for the time is at hand………
There’s that year again, 2012. If this treaty is signed globally, it will take effect after the Kyoto Protocal expires. It even says it in the treaty “The new agreed post-2012 institutional arrangement and legal framework…” (Page 18). Now, I’m beginning to think there is something to this 2012 thing.
My wife and I are totally opposed to the President signing any treaty and in particular this one in Copenhagen that would in any way
diminish or abrogate the Constitution of the United States of America.
WOW this is criminal what this administration is trying to do the american people not to mention the constitution I just cant wrap my head around it. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW CAP AND TAX will help economy for heavens sake were bleeding to death people are hurting and imposing a huge climate tax is suppose to help!!!!!!!!you gotta be kidding its a joke right not to mention obamacare whose going to pay for it we are and people can barely keep a roof over their heads. I just dont get it!!!!!their agenda is not the peoples that is for sure!
I have read one comment on how Revelation is unfolding right before us, and I have to agree. But we can’t stop it. It was foretold nearly 2000 years ago, even in Daniel’s day. Don’t get me wrong, I strongly disagree with the idea of a treaty being signed that would bring us to a world govt and taking away our Constitutin. I do love my freedoms and what this Country once stood for. And I have contacted my Representitives to ask them not sign any such bill.
People (sheople) are blind, that’s what they get after voting for someone whom they absolutely knew nothing about.
Matthew 24:36-37: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
It’s dangerous and unproductive for anyone to presume they know more than Jesus Himself about when the end is coming. That fatalisic flavor of Kool-Aid creates an excuse to fall down in one’s duties to truth and righteousness. It makes a handy tool for our enemies to supress dissent, too.
In the days of Noah, the worldwide population, pre-flood, has been estimated to be between 7-10 Billion people.
(based on math, biology, and the numbers mentioned in the Bible)
By the way, Jesus DID give specific dates and time durations pertaining to the moment that a 7 year peace treaty with Israel will take place, from that point in time and afterwards.
So whoever lives then and is then aware of these things WILL know the day and hour and week and month and year that Jesus will physically return.
But until then, none of us will know the day or the hour of that moment He physically returns.
Though I do like your summation so I’ll repost it here:
“It’s dangerous and unproductive for anyone to presume they know more than Jesus Himself about when the end is coming. That fatalisic flavor of Kool-Aid creates an excuse to fall down in one’s duties to truth and righteousness. It makes a handy tool for our enemies to supress dissent, too”
Try telling that to the Ninevites who the prophet Jonah did NOT want to preach God’s judgement to
because he knew of God’s desire for people to genuinely repent so that He’d be justified to then forgive them
and those Ninevites were the most malicious city of the known world at that time, especially to the Jewish people,
so the Jewish prophet Jonah did NOT want them to repent so that God would forgive them!
Because they did, God delayed when His predicted (through Jonah) judgement against their city would occur.
Which means He still kept His promise since He did not say when He would judge the city.
He desires the same for these days as well from every part of the world.
THIS MEANS GOD HAS GIVEN US THE POWER TO HAVE HIM DELAY WHEN HIS REWARDS WILL OCCUR, AS WELL AS WHEN HIS PUNISHMENTS WILL.
(Jesus is the reason for every season;)
Please Obama, don’t sign this treaty. Please listen to the will of the people, we don’t want to loose our sovereignty. America is Great! Let’s keep her that way.
No way, No way Mr. president should you sign this. If you do sign this you will not enjoy a second term in office. You will be voted out! In my opinion that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One world government? Then what’s next–one world religion? Thus, it begins unless we stop the President from signing this UN Climate Treaty. Sign the petition! Petition Senate Leaders & the President! Stop the President from signing this treaty!! Preserve America’s sovereignty!
Totally bogus, yest there is an issues with Co2 but not the point that the government says. Dentist have proven that global warming is partially caused by Co2 but the majority is caused by the Sun and other sources. Cap & Trade is basing its agenda on the Co2 Incorrect information.
Dentists have proven that global warming is partially caused by CO2? Did 4 out of 5 agree that Cap and Trade will help prevent climate decay?
Nothing can override the American Constitution! This NATION is INDIVISIBLE and any outside force that threatens it’s sovereignty will be SQUASHED.
I think you all need to realise that the above text is NOT from a draft treaty, but from negotiation texts. It is all still up for negotiation and so is not set in stone. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but opnions need to be based on the correct information.
You think this treaty is bad, try being in Britain with all the EU treaties!
Liberty is a precious thing and we shall not miss it until it is gone.
I woke up one morning alone and afraid for the country I have grown to love was not to be found. The hard working people I had come to expect were replaced with droids waiting for their do. The industries where I worked were closed and moved elsewhere. There was no hustle and pop, just bleak landscapes with little hope or plan. The droids set around pondering what they should not do and gave little thought to the greatness they could reach.
The schools now teach how bad we use to be and say little about the hard work and toil our past used to climb to success. The new way is where it is at shouts academia. Give up your liberty and we will take care of you, it is your do. No more worries, no more threats just bliss.
President Obama, Please do not sign this treaty You sworn to defend the consititution of the United States and what is the best for America. This treaty will have a negative effect on us the American citizens higher taxes higher gas prices lower jobs and productivity America first Mr Obama
Doesn’t the president need ratification from 2/3 of the Senate to get this through…?…..So if he doesn’t have 2/3’s then it’s not constitutionally legal……
I wonder what Obama’s masters thesis says? Anybody know?
The President needs to prove that he can even be president. He won’t do that. Our media is silent on it as well. Where was he Born? What were the themes of the Blues that he wrote and sang in his younger years? Is he now fulfilling them? Wake up America and let our servants know what we want done. Our leaders are to be public SERVANTS. We do not want the Cap and Trade treaty. The United Nations Does not need to be given teeth to rip out our Sovereignty from us or to have our leader commit treason by giving it away. Do Not ratify the Treaties. Do not Sign the Accord. The Bankers will choose when the plug is pulled on our currency. Citizens! Read your History! What did our founding fathers really say? Through Inflation and Deflation the bankers will make us slaves in the land where our fathers died to give us freedom. Let us stand watch and not fall asleep as everything is stolen from us. Pray that this usurper will not give away the country.
We cant let our president do this. Our American way of life is at stake here people! We need to put a stop to this treaty somehow.
I swore to support and defend the Constitution of The United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. Anyone that signs onto this, is an enemy of the people of the United States of America and it’s Constitution, and should be dealt with according to the Constitution as traitors of the people.
JUST SAY NO!!
OH.
Remember when Gandalf was talking with the head of his order Souromon and mentioned that Souron “Does not share power”… Souromon thougt Souron was to great to defend against so if you can’t beat them join them was his answer… hmm?
Strange, I wonder if American “sovereignty” means maintaining our right to exploit the rest of the world? This is a strange issue indeed to be sure. Sounds like the idea of freedom loss is stemming from the rest of the people of the world having a say about what we do the rest of the planet. [true of false] Sounds like something liberal democrats will love and conservative Republicans will hate. Sounds like sharing the say is considered a loss of FREEDOM to some types of people and institutions. All I have to say is WOW… I marvel at what people do and think, its often amazing to me. But in my conception balance amongst all the players is the goal and the way to optimize this process is I believe it is via Living game-systems theory… I imagine I am a radical egalitarian in many respects… I will have to take a much closer look at this issue and the details surrounding it, but my intuition smells something funny for sure…
Paul…
What is fair to the human race, what is fair to most people involved, whats fair to the most people effected and should they have equal say or not, is not the American way and democracy about that? Or should choice only go to Americans about what goes on for or in the world itself as a whole? Especially when what it does in its borders impacts those outside of it… Reminds me of when the Supreme court in Canada sided with Monsanto and stated something equivilant to people having to place a fence around their property because the person next door got Cows! The idea stemed from pollination and corn, but the concept is equally questionable… Are we saying something like that should we. Let us do what ever we want and if it impacts you then hey find a way to protect youself free of charge to us… hmm real democratic…
Sovereignty means the right to govern ourselves, to manage our internal affairs without taking orders from foreign powers. Our laws, created by representatives elected by us are the supreme law and only authority under which we live – that’s what it means.
Of course that’s the text book definition… But I mean in practice. And if we deploy the rights of our sovereignty you say exists does our sovereignty mean the explotation of the rights of the rest of the world? What your calling foreign powers, then how democratic in fact are we really? Are we then contradictory and not worth credit? The world is a shared globe, and our supreme laws can not afford us rights that we would not have implimented against ourselves or we are exploitatious, and are internally self inconsistent hence no one should honor that. Fact is are we what we say we are, a free and democratic nation? Do we treat others the way we expect to be treated? If were saying we have the right to exploit others via our so called Sovereignty at will then we are hippocrits and its all bombast… We need to be able to eat our own dog food or were a sham… We need to accept responsiblity if we are in fact culpable, question is are we and if so exactly how much? In any event if we have shared in damages, then to the proportion we are we should be responsible for our mistakes. Sovereignty can’t be used as some kind of blanket right to do to others what we dont want done to ourselves…. Thats not democratic at all, sounds like a kings logic which is antithetical to the spirt of a REPUBLIC…
I agree that we need to start with ourselves, especially since that is really the only thing that we do have total control over. The best way to impact these government evildoers is to hit them where it hurts-economically. We must unplug ourselves from their world and go back to taking care of ourselves. Stop using credit cards, banks, and debit cards. Pay cash for anything you can and/or even better, go back to bartering. It will be very difficult to do as we are so accustomed to this easier life, but that’s what “they” are banking on.
My husband and I had a conversation a few days ago about unplugging. I grew up in a small farming community. My father did everything and could make anything. My mom canned vegetables from our garden. Nothing seemed impossible in my house from the perception of a child and that’s how I thought everyone lived. So I tell my city raised husband how easy it would be, remembering my childhood. And he tells me how impossible and difficult it would be for people to do this because it was so hard and people don’t even know how to grow vegetables. So I replied, “So you’re telling me that we have become too stupid and unskilled to sustain ourselves if we had to?” YES! Think of all of our education and degrees in this country-what did we really learn? Think of everything that has been outsourced-most manufacturing and a lot of farming. What really can we do other than “close the deal” and “get that report ready?”
I know that many do still possess life skills, but not like back in the day when they had no choice but to sustain themselves. That’s where I think we need to start.
Sara, thoes are some well said words. Fifty years ago we didn’t know what a credit card was. My Dad saved a little each week, then if something broke down he had the cash to pay for it. Many people here in TN are growing gardens, canning and returning to the old ways. We the people need to accept responsibility for ourselves. We have become lazy, sitting around, waiting for the government to give us a handout. We need to get back to being self-sufficient.
Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! I’m, beginning to think there is hope for defeating these Ruling Elite wannabes like Al Gore who would have us all become their serfs.
