Polishing the Pedestal of the Stooges: EcoNazism threatened by Big Oil and the Charge of the Leftist Cavalry
Abstract: Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times has assembled a fine piece of propaganda along classic lines in order to promote his program of Cap and Trade. He has selectively picked out examples of Republicans to join in with this chorus thus giving some bipartisan flavor to this piece. He raises emotions, denigrates the opposition and hides essential points about jobs and costs in his column. Using circular logic in a masterful and instructive manner he concludes that he is right all along and backs up his tenets with testimonial proof. Good Job Thomas!
We are constantly bombarded by political essays in what is proffered to be authentic and fair op-eds in the Walter Duranty Papers[1][2]—aka [the near-bankrupt] New York Times. The notion that the Times is ‘fair’ or objective is an essay into itself where this coveted position may be challenged in probably every op-ed article they have written in their 40 year history and beyond that synthetic market signal and into the depths of the last century.
I have written extensively on propaganda using, I think, mostly all of my examples from the
The liberals and progressives lust for complete control of any society they can find. Their ‘moral’ fortress is buttressed by a chorus of people who breathe only for the chance to rubber stamp any position, however preposterous or inane that appears in print in this ragzine as long as the piece follows along in the narrow latrine destined for the far left. This keep is protected by a moat of political platitudes that can deftly wash away objections to their strange views of morality such as sodomy, abortion, illegal immigration, lies and prostitution among many more. They can defend anything according to their beliefs as long as it attacks their enemies on the right and particularly those with religions views.
This defining case is hereby demonstrated by their bold and unerring verification of any phony social program whatever in
With that introduction out of the way we can begin to dissect the current propaganda piece from the

The easiest way to take in the salient points is to read the emphatic points in the quotes and then peruse my comments. Comments on my comments are always welcome: ryckki@gmail.com.]
We begin with a piece written by Thomas L. Friedman:[15]
“What has Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of
The buzz themes are marked in this color for emphasis. Here, we look at the word fact that tells us that we are reading truth—not politics—nothing slanted toward the leftist view or otherwise. The words landmark laws imply that these laws are not only unique but praiseworthy in terms of innovation and protection of the planet. They are probably economically fatal. The restricting adjective is then introduced in the form of ‘clean’ and coupled to the word innovation completing the circle of logic here. Quite a start for this form of disinformation.
First of all, the EcoNazism[17][18] view that carbon dioxide must be a pollutant is a political invention of some pomp and might whereby there is no need to ‘prove’ any ‘facts’ since we are told that our ‘scientists’[19] have determined this and the matter is closed to debate.[20] This closes off debate and challenges to their political message. This is a classic piece of circular logic and unassailable by ordinary methods of reason. It is also corrupt science of the lowest form and would only be hailed as novel by Lysenko[21] or one of his political stooges. Lysenko is the patron saint of quack science. His work surges onward.
Moving left along:
“Here are the basics: Next month Californians will vote on “Prop 23,” a proposal to effectively kill implementation of
Now, this Prop is not detailed as is usual for the left. They must avoid the complete description of this monster because it sets up massive taxes, the very essence of their power. They want some processes controlled by government laws so they can control big business and particularly the energy companies. What they omit here is that their bill is the beginning of Cap and Trade taxes[22] and that will burden the
More:
On rare occasions, they can find some hoot owl to squawk out their exact phrases with as much slobber and angst as they can conceive:
““And they are very deceptive when they say they want to go and create more jobs in
Gurgling on his own soggy thoughts, we might suggest that the auto, highway and service industries in that state owe their jobs to the oil companies until the point comes when organic fuels are outlawed. Then, caught up in the mysticism he announces that green technology is the future of
Abstract: Well-meaning but idiotic government workers in
The salient point here is that bubbles were built and then burst in
And more: A second stooge is cultivated even from the hated Reagan era:
““Prop 23 is designed to kill by indefinite postponement
Here, the good Mr. Shultz has to speculate about some innovation that ‘might’ go international. The effect of
Another testimony:
“The real joke is thinking that if
Well, enough of this prattle for a while. It is inconceivable that people trained as ‘scientists’ can mix metaphors about nature and physical laws and their political transposition with a straight face and then fall forward on a single observation of the LA temperature hitting 113 degrees in one day.
But, this is how the New York Times works. All truth evolves from political practices. It matters not if the loony left have spent 13.4 trillion dollars and have mired us in unrecoverable debt for generations—they must compound the problem by reducing the economy of Californian to rubble with phony social programs allegedly sanctioned by ‘scientists.’ Friedman has done an admirable job of cherry-picking people to hum the same song as the liberals have written. Emotions were prodded, tears must flow and we have yet another round of ‘facts’ and ‘testimonies’ to fatten the calf of the far left.
November may be the Turning of the Worm so to speak. These drug-crazed loonies must be voted out of office or they will indeed send some states and the federal government spinning uncontrollably into debt, despair and revolution. I wonder if they think this is a viable option for them to grab total power.

Duranty claimed that the Siberian labor camps were a means of giving individuals a chance to rejoin Soviet society but also said that for those who could not accept the system, "the final fate of such enemies is death." Duranty, though describing the system as cruel, says he has "no brief for or against it, nor any purpose save to try to tell the truth". He ends the article with the claim that the brutal collectivization campaign which led to the famine was motivated by the "hope or promise of a subsequent raising up" of Asian-minded masses in the
