Remember, this is my thread that is dedicated to politics. It's not possible for me to spam my own thread. I have some small hope that you will wander on off to the appropriate thread with your posts. Might that be possible do you think?

If that is so, and you clearly believe it is so because you state it every chance you get (every post), why not simply 'move on'. Go somewhere else. What keeps you here? Are you stalking me?

You may find this uncomfortable but what I am posting is merely a sampling of what the world is thinking these days. You may not like it, but it is so. Sorry.

If only that were so. Still posting debate items on the politics thread. Not 'moving on', I think.

Really? Commies? You mean as in Communists? I'm clearly out of my depth here. Commies. :confused:

This has gotten really weird here. Constance and I were stalked briefly as well and it basically ruined my enjoyment to share/learn from others. Wish you well on this one.

Thank you, Heidi. Yes, this has gotten seriously weird. :rolleyes: I am just waiting for moderator intervention. It does ruin the experience.

Sorry to hear you (and Constance) have been stalked. I hope you alerted moderators. The moderators need to be alert to that kind of stuff. When a complaint is lodged they need to act on it rather than let it roll on-and-on like this.

I've only just begun to understand the scope of what manxman has been doing with my persona - with a moderator, no less. It's gotten very, very squirrely. All because I insist on posting about climate change and will not back down apparently. Go figure.
 
EDIT NOTE: Years have passed and here I am finally able to 'clean up' this thread because of my new role on the Paracast chat site. Gene said he wanted some 'spring cleaning' done and so it is taking place. What was in evidence on this thread was a particularly ugly incident of stalking engaged by two posters. It was very virulent and exceptionally unpleasant. Over the years my own views have changed on Climate Change, but I have left the posts that are on topic as historically interesting. Most of the spamming content has been removed and all of the trolling. - September 2026
 
Okay, we get it. The Koch brothers are scumbags who buy their way into universities, museums, scientific institutions plus buying various companies. Everyone mentioned above is going to sing the Koch line in order to keep the money flowing. The question becomes, what can anyone do about it. Very little it seems. Not one of these institutions has the guts to turn down cash.

Change happens. Not by itself, but through activism. Some history helps, because things have been far worse than currently. More may be at stake now - larger consequences - but it's all very familiar. :cool:
 
Call me a cynic but the majority of humans just don't care what goes on. As long as the smartphone is charged and working, all is right with the world. I just don't see a handful of people beating down the Koch Bros. and others like them. The whole house of cards will need to fall before action is taken.
 
I wish I could believe politicians in general and Mr. Obama in particular but I can't. I take that back. If a politician says they are going to raise taxes or put us in another war, that I can believe.
 
By all accounts, the military is not too happy with Obama on a number of subjects( woman in combat, for one.) Many generals are in disagreement with the president. I wouldn't hang my hat on Obama listening to the military on climate change. No doubt he was briefed.

I seem to recall Obama saying he was going to shut down Guantanamo. I think we are still waiting on that and many other promises. We place way too much trust in politicians and have paid a heavy price for our foolishness.
 
A Think Tank for the UN that deals in political issues had this to say about the topic.

”In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill….All these dangers are caused by human intervention….and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself….believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose.“ Quote by the Club of Rome.
