Environmental Protection Agency Did Not Release Internal Report That Dissented from Conclusion That Carbon Emissions Cause Global Warming

. . . So Much for "Transparency"

According to a CNSNews Article, the report was an evaluation of the EPA’s current Technical Support Document (TSD) analyzing the endangerment of human health caused by greenhouse gas emissions:

A March report circulated within the EPA went unreleased after its findings conflicted with claims that global warming was caused by carbon emissions, and critics – including eight congressmen -- say the document was suppressed.

The document was never released by the EPA and the House of Representatives voted last Friday to approve the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which would curb greenhouse gas emissions if enacted. NCEE Center Director Al McGartlin told dissenting scientists not to share their findings:

“please do not have any direct communication with anyone outside of NCEE on (greenhouse gas) endangerment"

“The time for such discussion of fundamental issues has passed for this round.”

“The administrator and the administration have decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision.”

The article points out that Obama used transparency in Government as one of his key selling points. Obama did this while accusing Bush of Government cover ups and rushing into action.

In a memorandum dated March 9, the same month Carlin’s report was completed, the White House told the heads of all executive departments and agencies: “The public must be able to trust the science and scientific process informing public policy decisions. Political officials should not suppress or alter scientific or technological findings and conclusions.”

Similarly, in an April 27 speech at the National Academy of Sciences, Obama pledged to make scientific research transparent.

“Under my administration, the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over,” he said. “Our progress as a nation--and our values as a nation--is rooted in free and open inquiry.

"To undermine scientific integrity,” Obama added, “is to undermine our democracy. It is contrary to our way of life.”

Will Obama also then continue to hypocritically ignore science by his refusal to admit that life, in fact, begins at conception? Obama's suppresssion of science is becoming more and more revealing of his dictatorship style. Under Obama's reign, democracy is indeed undermined by Obama's undermining of scientific integrity. By ignoring science, Obama is actually revealing something transparent about himself: the revelation of a dictator in the White House.

Holocaust Museum Shooter - Anti-Christian Aryan - NOT a Conservative Christian

"'Christianity' destroyed Roman Civilization"

These were the words used online by 88 year old shooter James von Brunn who shot and killed a security guard at Washington's Holocaust Museum on June 10. According to the liberal media, we were all told that von Brunn was a 'right wing conservative'. The shooter, von Brunn was an Aryan, not a conservative. Aryans believe that the Nazi party is supreme. The Nazi party is socialist. This is why, according to FrontPage Magazine, von Brunn also wrote on the internet: “SOCIALISM, represents the future of the West."

According to Wikipedia:

"The term Nazi is derived from the first two syllables of Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, the official German language name of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (commonly known in English as the Nazi Party). Party members rarely referred to themselves as Nazis, and instead used the official term, Nationalsozialisten (National Socialists). The word mirrors the term Sozi, a common and slightly derogatory term for members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands)."

Emperor Nero blamed a widespread fire in the city of Rome on the Christians in order to incite hatred of Christians and justify his persecution of them. Resembling Emperor Nero, the media is blaming every criminal act on conservatives/traditional family value Americans/Christians. When the liberal media hears of another terrorist attack in Pakistan, India, Bali, Indonesia, etc. their warped minds automatically point their fingers at Christians as indirect causes of violence, turmoil, and violent upheaval. How in the world they do this is beyond comprehension, but they are getting away with twisting facts, just like Emperor Nero had done. Will the media please stop their anti-Christian agenda and just report the facts without trying to emulate Emperor Nero. For more on this topic click here.

Movie Review - Padre Pio: Between Heaven and Earth

The most authentic and accurate portrayal of St. Padre Pio put to film. Not shockingly dramatic or overdone, this film inspires rather than entertains. Any student of the Saint will quickly acknowledge the movie's authenticity - from the monk's stigmata (the physical bearing of the five bodily wounds of Christ's crucifixion) to his gift of reading souls and to his physical altercations with Satan (not over dramatized); from his relentless and devoted efforts to build a hospital for children to his suffering amidst false accusations from inside the Church.

At 2 hours and 40 minutes, the movie keeps the viewer engaged with the amazing life of this monk. Based entirely on historical and eyewitness records, the movie is so true to reality that I personally felt like I was in San Giovanni Rotondo following the very footsteps of our hero saint.

The movie doesn't latch onto any one dramatic theme, nor does it embellish the true story with thematic elements. Rather, the film underscores, with convincing detail and authenticity, those major events in the monk's life that made him such a beloved champion for Christ. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and walk away truly knowing our bigger brother in the family of God. Most of all, this movie will inspire one to want to become a saint.
