Have you noticed, as I have, that it has been a relatively comfortable summer? I haven’t even heard Al Gore or his bleating sheep baah baahing out global warming lies. Could it be that even they realize that it might just be possible that the sun could — potentially, mind you — have something to do with earth’s temperatures? Naaah. I think I must be dreaming. Yeah, that’s gotta be it. Global warming means too much for Al Gore’s pocketbook for him to acknowledge what the entire world has known forever. That big yellow thing in the sky, which warms us during the day and cools us at night, which warms us when we’re closer to it and cools us when we’re further away, effects earth’s climate!

Now, the NOAA tells us that this summer was the 39th hottest on record for the contiguous United States, but given the curious placement of their weather stations, we had better look to the satellite data instead:

Solar cycle 24 was observed to have very late last year. It took longer than usual for the start of the current 11 year cycle to actually start because the sun was basically inactive, but then things picked up … a very little bit. Well, there has been VERY little solar activity through this year, and last month, there was not one single sunspot noted! Did we miss it? Man has been recording sunspots for centuries. We’ve monitored them relatively closely since before the United States was formed. Well, one observatory has modified one data point to indicate that there might have been a slight indication of activity in one area last month, so they gave it a half-sunspot count, but others laughed that spec off. The last time a whole month passed without a single sunspot was June 1913.

Extended periods of little to no sunspot activity has corresponded to periods of global cooling. (Note that Gore and friends have shifted to blathering about global climate change since their warming hoax is looking weaker these days.) Michael Asher, of DailyTech, says

In the past 1000 years, three previous such events — the Dalton, Maunder, and Spörer Minimums, have all led to rapid cooling. One was large enough to be called a “mini ice age”. For a society dependent on agriculture, cold is more damaging than heat. The growing season shortens, yields drop, and the occurrence of crop-destroying frosts increases.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts, who runs a climate data auditing site called Watts Up With That, noted:

Many have been keeping a watchful eye on solar activity recently. The most popular thing to watch has been sunspots. While not a direct indication of solar activity, they are a proxy for the sun’s internal magnetic dynamo. There have been a number of indicators recently that it has been slowing down.

Watts notes that it is believed that  the main factor in modulating Earth’s climate is solar magnetism modulating galactic cosmic rays, and hence creating more cloud nuclei. He adds:

We’ve had indications since October 2005 that the sun’s dynamo is slowing down. It dropped significantly then, and has remained that way since. Seeing no sunpots now is another indicator of that idling dynamo.

William Livingston and Matthew Penn, of the National Solar Observatory inTucson, Arizona wrote in their paper “Sunspots May Vanish by 2015”

Our data show that there are additional changes occurring in sunspots, independent of the sunspot cycle, and these trends suggest that sunspots will disappear completely. Such an event would not be unprecedented, since during a famous episode from 1645-1715, known as the Maunder Minimum, the normal 11-year periodicity vanished and there were virtually no sunspots visible on the solar surface (Eddy 1976). Recent studies of the appearance rate and latitudinal drift of sunspots (Hathaway et al., 2004) and of the solar magnetic field (Svalgard etal, 2005) predict that the number of sunspots visible in future cycles will be significantly reduced. Finally the occurrence of prolonged periods with no sunspots is important to climate studies, since the Maunder Minimum was shown to correspond with the reduced average global temperatures on the Earth.

What does the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Gore’s co-Nobel prize winners, offer in light of the recently observed cooling and solar inactivity? Their BIG announcement was:

Eat less meat to curb global warming.

At least they seem to be taking themselves as seriously as the rest of us take them these days.

As the US election approaches, BOTH major party platforms include planks for attacking man-made global warming. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have been sucked in by Al Gorebbels’ Big Lie, Repeated ENDLESSLY. It is incumbent upon us all, we, the people, to keep the pressure on our elected officials and wannabe elected officials to convince them to pay at least some attention to actual data instead of someone’s opinion of that data.

In the early 1920’s, Germany saw a number of youth organizations spring up, trying to reclaim the success of the pre-WWI youth groups such as the Boy Scouts and the very successful back-to-nature Wandervogel. The NSDAP, (Nazi) party was formed just after the war when Adolph Hitler renamed the German Worker’s Party he had come to lead. Seeing the success of these youth organizations, he authorized the formation of the Youth League of the National Socialist Worker’s Party. A proclamation published in the official Nazi newspaper in March of that year declared “We demand that the National Socialist Youth, and all other young Germans, irrespective of class or occupation, between fourteen and eighteen years of age, whose hearts are affected by the suffering and hardships afflicting the Fatherland… enter the Youth League of the NSDAP…” And the Hitler Youth was born.

Following the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler was thrown in jail, and the Hitler Youth was officially disbanded. It was reorganized in 1925 and given the official name Hitler Jugend. By 1928, the Jungvolk, a new department for boys aged 10 to 14, and the League of German Girls were added. The organization’s leader, Kurt Gruber, reaffirmed the Hitler Youth goal of training children to “free Germany from the shackles of Capitalists.”

In 1932, Hitler Youth campaigned for Hitler in several elections. Hitler’s goal was to achieve power democratically and then eliminate democracy. Over the next few years, the age group widened for both sexes, and the organization became more indoctrinated to Nazi ideology. By 1936, membership was made mandatory for all German youth (excluding Jews.)

Fast forward to 2008. Barack Obama is running for President of the United States. He has the delegates needed to be officially named the Democrat Party candidate for that position in August. Obama declared on July 2, 2008”

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Obama’s website laid out the details of what he was stammering on about, the details of his “Civilian National Security Force.” What is this civilian national security force that is to rival the US military in power, strength, and funding? Well, it turns out, Obama was talking about his plan for universal community service for young people and massive federal spending on voluntary service for the rest of us. Stepping up to Hitler’s 1936 standard, Obama is calling for mandatory service for middle and high school students and “voluntary,” but indentured, servitude for college students. The Obama Youth!

In the Obama Youth, all children over the age of about 11 will be required to serve the orders of the all-powerful state, as Obama seeks to nationalize most charities. The Obama Youth will become voluntary once His indoctrinated minions reach college age; however, since the Liberal Messiah Himself decrees that they be paid an effective salary of $40 an hour tax free and since after the initial group passes through the organization all college-aged youth will have been fully indoctrinated, the program will be nearly universal while not called “mandatory.”

Mrs. Messiah, Michelle Obama, discussed the Obama Youth in a February speech to UCLA students, saying “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to do better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”

“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

In addition to the Obama Youth’s indentured servitude, Obama has also noted his plans to mandate that 25% of college work-study jobs be moved off-campus with the goal of forcing that to 50%. He has proposed a Classroom Corps, a Health Corps, a Clean Energy Corps, a Veterans Corps, and a Homeland Security Corps to go along with his nationalization of non-profit organizations, turning charities into government contractors.

Obama’s “just as well funded” goal will also, after considering federal government programs already violating Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and the 9^th and 10^th Amendments, will add another $500,000,000,000 to our tax burden. Half-a-TRILLION dollars in NEW spending on this one program alone! Coupled with Mrs. Messiah’s repeated message to children “Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers,” one has to wonder why he thinks children should go on to college at all, and then we’ll have to consider the additional tax burden that will be required to put all of the people he succeeds in indoctrinating through the Obama Youth program to work in public make-work jobs as well!

The Obama Youth program certainly parallels the Hitler Youth goal of “free[ing the country] from the shackles of Capitalists.” It fits right in with Obama’s Marxist platform, putting everyone to work for the all-powerful government. AND…it promises a future much like the end of the Soviet Union. A nation where everyone works for the all-powerful central tyranny, and no one is left to pay the taxes needed to keep it running.

Hitler succeeded in achieving power democratically and then eliminating democracy. Given all of the above, perhaps we should rethink what we all called just another Obama gaff. When he spoke of dealing with foreign leaders for 8 or 10 years, we may want to consider that he actually can add 4 and 4, but does not think he will have to be concerned with the two term limit or anything else dealing with our current representative republic.

“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

Remember those words. November 4^th is approaching.
