Do All Boats Really Rise in a High Tide?

United States of America….everyone hates this country but still people work hard to get in, why is that?
The United States is a rather young country and it the very reason it was explored and founded was for freedom to maintain and the nurturing liberties granted by a higher power. Since the founding of America, she has become an advanced and civilized land, culture and society. Could this be the reason she is so loved and so hated at the same time?
Having traveled abroad to many foreign lands including communist countries and third world lands, it is quite amazing the perception of America and how it differs from people across the world. The United States is loved and hated for the very same reason, FREEDOM.
This message is for those Americans and for those world-wide, the United States of America is the last hope on earth for Freedom and yet this Freedom is threatened and completely under attack from the Federal government and the United Nations. Both are corrupt beyond what could ever be written here. My research colleagues have found trillions of dollars missing from the United States Treasury and no one cares, can account for it and has bothered to locate it. Why is that? It is by design, it is the plan and this money is funneled through the Export Import Bank, the United Nations, the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund, and the mother of all banks, the Bank of International Settlements.

The world financial crisis was not an accident, this too was by design, just study what ‘fiat money’ is. Please study all the billions and trillions that is funneled through the United Nations and where it does go and does not go.

The biggest charade and scam of them all is ‘Sustainability’ projects through the United Nations.

The United Nations had been resident on the island of Haiti for 20 plus years, so how can the poor people of Haiti be so devastated by an earthquake and the recovery be almost non-existent with all the money ear-marked for Haiti? Yep, corruption.
Take a look at Niger, Africa. Billions have been sent to Niger yet the people of Niger are starving, have no fresh water and their farms are being destroyed for mineral rights and bio-fuel development. Niger by the way has the third largest uranium deposit in the world.

Now let us look at Mexico. It is clear that the entire government of Mexico is corrupt and being taken over by drug cartels. Decent citizens of Mexico are living in absolute fear and beg to come across the border into the United States out of fear. America sends yet more billions to Mexico as well as manufacturing jobs and yet, Mexicans are fleeing.

What made America great and a leader world-wide is being destroyed by government corruption so, America has only recently fallen to position 4 globally for production and financial strength.
America has always been a generous country to those not so fortunate and yet America is being fleeced through government legislation and mandates from the United Nations.
The Elites of the world are destroying people’s lives, culture, religion, health and financial opportunities.
Who are the Global Elite? Take a closer look at those in the United Nations, the banks listed above and then you can use this website too:
http://www.augustreview.com/issues/globalization/the_global_elite%3a_who_are_they?_200511146/
Rather than hate America for what she once was, citizens of each country should look deep into their own country and government and be a whistle blower. Once the truth gets out, then all boats can rise in a high tide.

“THE LAW”

By Steve McCoy

To understand the correct application and enactment of government law (secular law) in
a free Republic, it is essential that we first understand that our rights come from God, not
from men, politicians or judges. Second that governments are instituted by man for the sole
purpose of securing those rights. Third, when man rebels against God’s Law and does what
he thinks is right in his own eyes, he sets himself up to be god and will soon implement his
own immoral secular law.

1. NATURAL LAW: (Creator’s Law”)
Natural Law is the “True Law” because it comes from the Creator and like Him it is
eternal and universal.
Natural Law is the supreme Creator’s order (governance for the universe)
Natural Law consists of a “Moral Law” that relates to man (His creation)
The “Moral Law” attribute can only come from God the Creator.
“Moral Law” cannot be changed (altered, repealed, amended) because it comes
from God who is immutable.
“Moral Law” is the law that distinguishes between what is right and what is wrong.
The Creator is the only one capable of this.
Man’s (the creation) attempt to judge between right and wrong must always measure
up to the Creator’s standard “Moral Law”. If it does not, than man’s attempt will
always result in just the opposite (Immoral Law)..
“Immoral Law” is the opposite of “Moral Law”.
Because “Moral Law” relates to man and governments are instituted by man then
“Moral Law relates to governments as well.
Our Declaration of Independence is the supreme, unamendable (unchangeable)
“moral law” of the United States. It is the “Moral Law” of United States because it is a
proclamation that our unalienable (unchangeable) rights of life, liberty and the right of
property (pursuit of happiness) comes from God the Creator. Because the
Declaration is “Moral Law” it preceded and trumps the supreme, amendable
(changeable) “secular law”, the United States Constitution.

2. SECULAR LAW: (man’s law”)
The purpose of secular law is to secure our sacred unalienable rights from God of
life, liberty and the right of property (pursuit of happiness). “Immoral Law” is the
opposite of “Moral Law”.
When secular law is moral, it will restrain injustice and promote equal justice.
When secular law is immoral it will it will take away man’s natural God given rights. It
will promote unequal justice through legal plunder.
Legal plunder is defined by using the secular law to take from one person what
belongs to them and giving it others to whom it does not belong. Plunder is stealing
and stealing is still stealing even when the government uses the law to take from one
person and give to another person something that they themselves could not acquire
without doing so illegally”.

With elections coming issues are often blurred and sometimes it becomes difficult to
discern what is right and what is wrong and who is the right candidate to vote for. This essay
was written to be used as a filter to help you with discernment. Let me conclude with this
statement, “You do what you believe, everything else is just religious talk’”.

What Christians need to know to vote righteously by Donald E. Jennings

The Problem

1.
As Christians we are to stand for righteousness in our culture
2.
Our Declaration of Independence, as our founding document, says all our rights
come ONLY from God (God’s Natural Law). Our rights do not come from men,
politicians or judges.
3.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights (man’s law) guarantees and protects those rights
for the people
4.
Therefore our voting is a righteous act as a responsibility to vote for politicians who
will protect those rights because they are God-given rights through our founding
government documents and the Bible.
5.
Unfortunately, there are people in our church who are voting for those who do not
stand for protecting those God-given rights. They may not even be aware that many
of our politicians are not protecting our God-given-rights by how they have voted in
the past or are voting now.
6.
It seems reasonable that if genuine Christians understood the following truths and if
they intend to stand for righteousness in the culture they would more likely make
righteous choices when they vote.
The Truths

1.
That their rights only come from God and are guaranteed by God, not man.
2.
That our government is founded on this truth (God’s Natural Law) in the Declaration
of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights (God’s
Natural Law), that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed. (The voters)

3.
That our Constitution and Bill of Rights (man’s law) protect those God-given rights
4.
That the governing authority of our unique republic form of government, referred to in
Romans 13:1-2, is not a king, dictator, president, congress, bureaucrats, or judges.
Our governing authority (unlike any other form of government in history) is the God-
given Declaration of Independence which codifies God’s Natural Law (our
unalienable rights), which man can not change. Man can not change (amend) them
because they are established by God and His Word.
Romans 13:1-2 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities (Our
Declaration of Independence). For there is no authority except from God,
and the authorities that exist (Our Declaration of Independence) are

2

appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists (politicians, judges or
citizens) the authority (Our Declaration of Independence) resists the
ordinance of God (God’s Natural Law), and those who resist (politicians,
judges or citizens) will bring judgment on themselves.

5.
That any law, enacted by our politicians, that does not protect God’s Law is
unconstitutional and therefore unrighteous. (Ex: legal plunder -See the paper titled
“The Law” -also see Truth Project DVD #9 &#10). Only man’s laws that protect God
law’s are righteous laws
6.
That our vote is a righteous act to chose politicians that will protect those God-given
rights so that God may be glorified. A vote can be unrighteous when they are cast for
a politician who resists the authority of our government (Declaration of
Independence) therefore resists the ordinance of God (God’s Natural Law) .
Romans 13:2 Therefore whoever resists (politicians, judges or citizens) the
authority (Declaration of Independence) resists the ordinance of God (God’s
Natural Law), and those who resist (politicians, judges or citizens) will bring
judgment on themselves.

The Solution

1.
The right and wrong of any political issue can be easily discerned by filtering it
through both the Bible and our founding documents without the mentioning of
any specific political candidates or political parties.
2.
These truths can be taught without telling the student who to specifically vote
for or even mentioning a political party. That part is left up to the discernment
of the Holy Spirit.
3.
Since we help Christians to walk in righteousness in all other areas of their
lives we can also show them where each politician stands (the facts) on each
righteous issue involving the government. These would only be comparative
charts which will still not tell them who to vote for but help them make their
own righteous decisions as to how to vote righteously. Right-to-Life people do
this all the time on the abortion issue just giving us the facts in comparative
charts. This can be done on many of the other Biblical and constitutional
issues so a sincere Christian, who understands these truths, can filter any
issue through the Bible and the founding documents They can now make
righteous choices when they vote, pleasing and honoring God in the process.
A righteous vote is protecting God’s Law given to us in the God-given
document of the Declaration of Independence..
4..
We are told to be wise

Voting For The Lesser of Two Evils

(What Christians Need to Know to Vote Righteously)
By Steve McCoy

Today many Christians find themselves at a crossroad as they struggle with the
ramifications of their civic responsibilities and decisions in the arena of politics. We
ask ourselves, “How do I honor God when I vote? How do I discern who to vote for?
What does God ask of me concerning voting? Do I continue to vote for the lesser of
two evils?

These types of questions weigh heavily on our minds and hearts as we observe our
country being dismantled and transformed before our very own eyes. Freedoms and
liberties are diminishing on a daily basis and approaching rapidly on the horizon is
the loss of the first amendment.

Yet there remains those that sleep on. They are more concerned with playing church
than being the salt of the earth and a light to the world.

Edmund Burke said ”All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing”. So much of the history of the struggle between good and evil can be
explained by Edmund Burke’s observation. Time and again those who profess to be
good seem to clearly outnumber those who are evil, yet those who are evil seem to
prevail far too often. Seldom is it the numbers that determine the outcome, but
whether those who claim to be good men are willing to stand up and fight for what
they know to be right.

When good men do nothing, they get nothing good done. To be good, one must do
good. The Lord commands his people to do good (Luke 6:35; Eph. 2:10). Christ
“gave himself for us, to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a
people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” (Titus 2:14).

Jesus rebuked the church at Laodicea for doing nothing. “I know you inside and out,
and find little to my liking. You’re not cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold
or hot! You’re stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I’m
rich, I’ve got it made, I need nothing from anyone,’ oblivious that in fact you’re a
pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless.” (Rev. 3:15-17).

Too many Christians and too many churches do nothing. They are standing idly by,
they are mere spectators. They sit on the sidelines instead of actively participating
and working for the good. If good wins, they join in the celebration though they did
nothing to produce the victory. If evil wins, they will complain long and loud though
their own apathy helped produce the undesirable result..

When good men do nothing, evil triumphs. Evil, sin and sinful men must be opposed.
God commands those who are good, not just to avoid evil but actively oppose it.

Christians are to “Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the
worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.” (Eph. 5:10,11). Those
who do nothing about sin and evil, help the sin and evil to prevail. One who is silent
when there are those around him in sin becomes a partaker with them (Eph.5:7).

4

In the days of Elijah, the silence of many had allowed the evil of Ahab and Jezebel to
prevail throughout the land of Israel. “Elijah stood up in front of all the people and
asked them, “How long will you try to have it both ways? If the Lord is God, follow
him; if Baal is God, follow him.” The people didn’t say a word.” (1 Kings 18:21). The
silence of the people spoke volumes of their indecisiveness and inaction. Their
failure to stand up, speak up and speak out permitted wicked and evil men to run
rampant.

Jesus told of a traveler who was robbed, beaten and left him half dead. The men
who did this were wicked and did a very wicked thing. But the Levite and priest
allowed this evil to continue unanswered by doing nothing as they each “passed by
on the other side” (Luke 10:31-32). Fortunately for the traveler there was one man, a
Samaritan, who was willing to stand up for what was right (Luke 10:33-36).

Jesus warned “This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you’re not on my side,
you’re the enemy; if you’re not helping, you’re making things worse.” (Matt. 12:30). In
the fight against evil there is no middle ground, no gray area, no neutrality. Those
who are not actively and vigorously fighting against evil are helping evil to triumph.

When good men do nothing, they are no longer good. Many have the mistaken
notion that good is merely the absence of doing that which is wrong. Not so! One is
good not merely because he does no evil, but because he is actively working for
what is good. “Let him turn away from evil and do good;” (1 Pet. 3:11). James
explained, “In fact, if you know the right thing to do and don’t do it, that, for you, is
evil.” (James 4:17).

Do not allow evil to triumph. Do not sit by and do nothing. Stand up and be counted,
speak up against evil and speak out against evil men and their sinful deeds.

The most obvious area that needs to be spoken to today is in the sphere of politics.
And it is spoken to through the way we vote. Do we use our cognitive mind to vote
with or do we use our emotive mind? Do we fall back on our default setting paradigm
of the way our parents voted and vote party line or do we override the default setting
and vote according to the character of the candidates? Which is the responsible
choice for an adult to make? What choice would triumph over evil?

”But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.”
(1 Pet. 1:15) Can a person be holy and vote for the lesser of two evils? For me the
answer is pretty easy, NO! For the “billy goat” (but, but, but) Christian the answer is
not so easy. They begin by making excuses as to what will happen if they don’t vote
the party line. God has said “Thou shall have no other gods before me” and yet their
allegiance to the party over what is right proves that the party has become their god.

Many remain (as Apostle Paul would say) ignorant. Interesting word because it has
three basic meanings: (1) You do not know because you lack information. (2) You do
not know because you do not understand. (3) You do not know because you are
unwilling. I believe we can observe all three of these meanings taking place in the
voting booth at every election.

5

We are all aware of the verse, “If you know the truth, the truth will set you free.”
(John 8:32). We need to take a look at the opposite of this verse. Untruth (lies and
error) will keep you in bondage. This principle seems to be in more abundant display
than the other.

As Christians we are told to judge with a righteous judgement. “Be honest in your
judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but
judge fairly and righteously.” (John 7:24). It seems reasonable that if genuine
Christians sincere in being the salt of the earth and a light unto the world were given
some basic information on their civic voting responsibilities they would (guided by
the Holy Spirit) make the right choices in the voting booth that would reflect
righteous judgement and therefore impact our culture for God.

In the first 126 words of the Declaration of Independence our Founding Fathers
declared the philosophy of our government. (1) There is a Creator. (2) He gives
unalienable rights. (3) He has a “moral” law that governs man. (4) The government
exists to protect the unalienable rights He has given. (5) Below God given rights we
are ruled by the consent of the governed (the voters).

An error that has kept many Christians in bondage is a mis read of Romans13:1-2
“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority
except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been
established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling
against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on
themselves.”

Many have interpreted this verse as if we are under King George’s rule (Rulers
Law). When quite the opposite is true. Our Founding Fathers did not give us “Rulers
Law” but “Peoples Law”. It was based upon what the Anglo Saxons had developed
in their culture and can also be traced back to what Moses instituted in the
wilderness. They did not give us a Democracy but a Republic. With the Declaration
of Independence our Founding Fathers declared to be separate and equal according
to the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. Therefore because we are a Republic
and are established on the basis of “Peoples Law”, then the authority resides with
the people (employers) and not the employees (politicians and judges).
Consequently we have the “moral” responsibility to resist and bring judgement
against those politicians and judges that would resist God’s Natural Law. Those who
would do what they think is right in there own eyes. Those that would set up their
own immoral secular laws. Any law, enacted by our politicians, that does not protect
God’s Law is unconstitutional and therefore unrighteous. Our vote then becomes
righteous when it becomes self evident that the nominated politician protects our
God given unalienable rights. Our vote becomes unrighteous when it is cast for a
politician who resists the authority of our government and therefore resists the
authority of God (God’s Natural Law).

A Common Citizen Interviews Obama

Posted on by

Interview by a plain citizen with Barack Obama

All the newspapers around the country and the television networks have new monikers that have become mainstream nicknames. You know what they are: LameStream Media, The All Barack Channel and MSLSD just to name a few. Well just stand still for a moment and vision in your mind landing the interview of your life with yes…..Barack Obama. Are you ready? Are you nervous? Are you prepared? What is the setting? What will you wear? You asked for it and you could get it…..Nah…..oh you could win the Mega Ball lottery too with purchasing just one lottery clinic. What are the odds?

Ok, set all that aside and just get prepared for the interview it could happen, maybe the citizens of America can arrange it. Ok then, start with the questions, and write them down, it could be therapeutic to your psyche. Gotta pencil and paper ready? Here we go and jump in anytime you have something you want to contribute, the more the better.

1. President Obama, were you completely aware of the background and agenda of all the Czars you brought into your administration, with particular respect to John Holdren and Cass Sunstein?
2. We have witness the backroom meetings and deals being made with members of Congress with respect to the Cap and Trade legislation as well as the Healthcare legislation. We also know that your White House has hosted several guests to meet with you and members of your staff. Can you tell us about these covert encounters and why they occur if you endorse them?
3. Mr. President you achieved a law degree and taught Constitutional law at the University of Chicago. In law school, each student is approached by law firms around the country to join the firm, why did you choose not to immediately join a firm, but to return to Chicago and work in the community as an organizer? It is clear you were in need of funds and primed to launch a successful, yet you went another direction, what is your reasoning for that decision?
4. Samantha Power was part of your campaign team and she is admittedly a ‘hater’ of Israel. Why did you select Samantha Power to join your team knowing that the United States has an ally in Israel?
5. Is it your intention during your term to make amendments to our United States Constitution and if so, what amendments are you seeking to make?
6. In your 2010, you have allocated large sums of money for ‘Green’ projects in nine separate cabinets. Given the recent alteration is Climate Change science and admissions of countless scientists, are you restructuring your 2010 budget and why the massive effort in nine separate cabinet departments?
7. Do you think it is arrogant sir that you signed Executive Order #13525 allowing for pay raises to many within your administration when the rest of America will likely not see a raise at all or in fact there are more than 18 million people unemployed? Would you explain why you have not made a salary adjustment going the other direction by reducing salaries to save the burden on the taxpayers?
8. Sir, you have also signed more than one Executive Order with respect to cleaning up fraud and wasteful spending. We citizens are aware of hundreds if not more programs that are best described as unnecessary and wasteful programs. Why are you allowing these to occur and even more asking the American people to accept it as part of functional Washington operations?
9. Please define for us what your exact relationship was or perhaps is with Khaldi Al Monsour and Prince Al Waleed.
10. What kind of relationship do you have with your half sister or any other relatives?
There are thousands of questions we need to ask since vetting of this man in the Oval Office leaves us with still many uncertainties especially some kind of agenda is now unfolding. You are invited to leave your questions here as well. We are gonna work hard to get the interview scheduled. If we fail to get on the president’s calendar, perhaps we can find a back door to enter and for sure we can get close enough to talk to him personally. Otherwise, yep go buy that lottery ticket, your local school needs your dollars.

No Progress in Oil

Posted on by

37 Years and Still No Advance

Just a couple of nights ago, I was reminded of a speech that President Nixon made that included some real concerns on America’s dependence of foreign oil. Nixon and each subsequent president worked on several initiatives to solve the dilemma of the high cost of oil including coming off the gold standard. There was inflation and the dollar was in trouble. Any of this sound familiar?
History repeats itself often and since 1973, history is repeated often as it relates to OPEC, the value of the dollar, but most of the America can’t seem to invoke the solution when it comes to relying on oil from the Middle East.
America was once the frontier full of innovation, advanced science, entrepreneurial spirit and most of all cutting edge solutions. This remains true if the Federal Government stays out of the way. Federal government intervention has stifled the solution of our dependence on oil regardless of where it comes from. Many other countries are now leading the pack in alternate energy sources and usage.
Solar is old news just as is geo-thermal as solutions to wean us from any kind of oil consumption. Wind use goes back even further. The alternative methods of energy production and usage are really a comedy and an embarrassment 37 years or more later.
The biggest tragedy in this issue remains that our dollar that pays for every barrel of oil leaves this country, leaves jobs for offshore but makes other countries wealthier not only in their respective economies but in their ability to advance in power and presence. America is moving towards the caboose end in economic competition, presence and industry. Who is to blame? Congress is the culprit but American voters allow Congress to remain derelict in their duty.
Congress cannot be trusted either by revealed legislations or those that are hidden and bundled in other laws. Royalties paid by oil companies in the United States are the largest revenue streams to the Federal government outside of taxes. Congress is killing the industry, can you explain that?

Climate Change, Charge and Colletion

Climate Change, Charge and Collection

First we had Cap and Trade Bill, that did not go well except in the House of Representatives. It is stalled in the Senate. What to do now? Hey name it something else, it is now the American Power Act. Whatever it is called, it is the last nail in the coffin of the American Energy infrastructure and the entire United States financial system.

We have found however, this American Power Act is already going on in America and too many are just not engaged in the world around you and that of Washington D.C. to know the difference. Okay, this is summary to get up to speed. Then you need to engage and not only speak out but make sure you are heard nationwide.

Minerals Management Services, established in 1982, had a charter to collect royalties from all mineral mining in the United States for the sake of using those funds to conserve and protect the environment. Royalties quickly become a major revenue source for the agency and those funds were deposited into the Federal Reserve. MMS quickly became a corrupt government agency and played the typical back-scratching game in the oil industry. It has now been taken over by Michael Bromwich. So why would a guy from the Department of Justice even begin to have the qualifications to run such a department as Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE)?

Here is an astonishing fact: The revenue from the oil and gas royalties paid by the industry is second in dollar value to taxes paid to the Internal Revenue Service. Wow For onshore federal drilling leases, the Minerals Lands Leasing Act prescribes the share or royalty rate as 1/8 the value of production; for offshore leases, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act prescribes the royalty rate as 1/6 the value of production. ‘According to the MMS, annual revenues from federal onshore and offshore (OCS) mineral leases are one of the federal government’s largest sources of non-tax income. In 2000, the MMS collected $5 billion in oil and gas royalties. The bulk of this ($4 billion) came from offshore production, with natural gas production generating 60 percent of the royalty revenue. For federal onshore lands, gas production generated over 70 percent of the almost $1 billion in royalties. The MMS also collected over $1 billion in bonus bids and rental payments to bring the total federal revenue collected by MMS from oil and gas leasing to approximately $6.3 billion. In addition, Indian lands, separate from federal onshore lands, generated about $200 million in revenues for Indian tribes. Please see the

Oil and Everyday Life

Oil is used in many everyday objects – more than you may have ever imagined. Click on any colorized object below to learn a little bit about how oil may have been used to create it.

http://www.api.org/aboutoilgas/sectors/explore/oilandnaturalgas.cfm

Gasoline: Gasoline helps power the American dream, giving us the freedom to travel where we want and when we want — for work, for school or for recreation. A steady supply of clean-burning gasoline is central to our nation’s economy.

Diesel: Seventy percent of the nation’s goods are transported in diesel-powered vehicles, helping to make it America’s primary commercial fuel.

Natural gas: Many Americans rely on safe, efficient and clean burning natural gas to heat and cool their homes. Natural fuels many manufacturing and electricity generation plants, and is a key ingredient in products that we use every day.

Heating Oil: 8.5 million American households, mostly in the Northeastern states, rely on heating oil to keep warm in winter. Many households buy Affordable Home Heating Oil to keep their home warm.

Emerging Energy Technologies: To help meet projected U.S. energy demand growth, the oil and gas companies invested $121.3 billion from 2000 through 2007 on emerging energy technologies in the North American Market.

Ok, it is now clear that our way of life must be powered by oil. Can we make adjustments to our way of life? Sure we can, but understand it is not practical and realistic to change it all. Yet that is just what the Federal Government/ EPA/ DOE/ DOI/ Congress and the President are trying to do. What will take the place of oil? Well algae as part of a bio-fuels agenda.

http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/the-return-of-fed-funded-algae-fuels/

The bio-fuels agenda is already going on in the background and you have not even noticed. But is it real and is it practical? Not hardly. Is there government corruption? Yes. Is there private corruption? Yes. Is the science flawed? Too early to tell, but, bio-fuels can never replace the volume of consumption of oil.

Do we have an example of how big the funding really is and where? Yes, glad you asked.

Corps maps show Green River flooding scenarios
By Craig Welch
Seattle Times environment reporter
Inundation maps that show how the Green River might flood communities from Auburn to Tukwila under four scenarios have been posted on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Web site.
The maps show how the lower stretch of the river might respond if floodwaters were to reach stages ranging from 13,900 cubic feet per second to a worst-case-scenario 25,000 cfs. Those are the ranges of possibility that have generally been identified by the Corps if it ends up releasing water this winter to avoid stressing the troubled Howard Hanson Dam.
The heaviest-hit stretches in each case are just southeast of Auburn and immediately west of Highway 167 between Auburn and Kent, which could be under three to 10 feet of water even with the more minor flooding. At 25,000 cfs., a two- to four-mile wide swath of the entire valley, from Auburn to Tukwila, could be deluged.

Coastal Algae Bloom: “It’s Like An Oil Spill, Without the Oil”
Tom Banse
It’s like an oil spill, but without the oil. That’s how wildlife rescue people are describing an unusual red tide along the Northwest coast. The algal bloom is causing hundreds upon hundreds of dead or dying seabirds to wash up on coastal beaches. Today, the deluge of distress shows signs of tapering off.

US reps worry ocean policy will block development
By MARY PEMBERTON
Associated Press Writer
Dozens of U.S. representatives sent a letter Monday to the head of the President’s Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force with concerns that the policy will block offshore energy development and cost jobs to Americans.
Sixty-nine House members, including Alaska Rep. Don Young, signed the letter in which they responded to the task force’s interim report released last month.
The task force is working on a national policy for governance of the country’s oceans, coasts and Great Lakes. Two dozen senior policy members from numerous agencies are working on the national policy.

Washington Rep. Doc Hastings, the ranking Republican member of the House Natural Resources Committee, said it is important that the task force recognizes multiple uses of the nation’s oceans, from fishing to energy development to recreation.

Ok, so there really is a Federal Agenda being played out before us on algae? Yes, and it is land and water based. This link is a short defined presentation.

Is the oil and gas industry opposed to the bio-fuels agenda? Yes and no. The oil and gas industry wants to explore the science and is willing to do that but not at the cost of complete elimination of oil and gas or nationalizing the industry which appears to be the next play from the Obama administration. Could it be that the Feds and lobbyists are demanding oil and gas to play a role in bio-fuels? Yes, pay up or it is likely that a drilling permit or license for a refinery will not be forthcoming. Demanding that oil and gas participate in bio-fuels gives credibility to the science and technology of bio-fuels as the final solution to elimination of fossil fuels. Pay up and shut up.
