Czech President calls Climate Meeting at UN "Undignified Propaganda"

Czech President Vaclav Klaus sharply criticized a U.N. meeting on climate change on Tuesday at which Barack Obama was the star speaker. According to Reuters, Klaus described the proceedings as propagandistic and undignified.

"It was sad and it was frustrating," said Klaus, one of the world's most vocal skeptics on the topic of global warming.

"It's a propagandistic exercise where 13-year-old girls from some far-away country perform a pre-rehearsed poem," he said. "It's simply not dignified."

Klaus said there were increasing doubts in the scientific community regarding the causes of global temperature trends, but that politicians seem to be unstoppable in their quest for radical, expensive, and freedom-reducing climate change legislation.

"The train can't be stopped and I consider that a huge mistake..."

He has also authored a book on the global campaign to stop climate change entitled "Blue Planet in Green Chains: What Is Under Threat- Climate or Freedom?" In it he claims global warming has turned into a "new religion", an ideology that threatens to undermine freedom and the world's socio-economic order.

Klaus is of-course the one who famously confronted Al Gore with "I don't think there's any global warming, I don't see any statistical data for that"- at Davos, Switzerland last year.

The Czech and former EU President went on to say "I'm very sorry that some people like Al Gore are not ready to listen to competing theories- I do listen to them."

Obama Facilitates GE/Kremlin Ties

In the wake of President Barack Obama's abrupt decision to cave-in to the instragence of Vladimir Putin and shelve the Eastern European missile shield -thus abandoning the Czechs and Poles to the Kremlin's whims- a funny thing happened:

Once the White House announced they were axing the shield, Russia's government said PM Vladimir Putin would meet several U.S. executives today from firms including General Electric, Morgan Stanley, and TPG- one of the world's largest private equity firms

General Electric may be the company with the closest ties to the Obama administration (if not Goldman Sachs), and here we see the company benefiting from an sudden foreign policy change implemented by Barack Obama.

GE CEO Jeff Immelt sits on Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, and GE owns MSNBC- you figure it out.

Like he used to do it back in Chicago with Tony Rezko- it's easy to cloak one's actions in some greater good like affordable housing or world peace... while steering deals and huge government money to your political supporters- Obama's got it down pat.

Winning the White House was like hitting the Lotto for this Chicago Machine huckster, once used to dealing with local slumlords like Tony- Obama's now moved-on to the big time of international deals with General Electric. The whole thing stinks like trash-truck juice... but it won't surprise anyone who's taken more than a glance at the Dear Leader's shady past and myriad criminal associations.

While Neville Chamberlain may have abandoned the Czechs in the niave hope of obtaining peace in our time- Obama's just doing it because he lacks moral and strategic clarity... and to steer a major political supporter a few billion bucks of business. This shameful opportunism is a disgrace that this country will regret- the Poles and Czechs gladly went to Iraq, you know.

Naturally, Putin was cock-a-hoop over a costless victory that keeps his nuclear arsenal relevent for the forseeable future... but this chum-in-the-water surely didn't appease the Kremlin. Predictably, it only left them hungering for more:

"I expect that after this correct and brave decision, others will follow, including the complete removal of all restrictions on the transfer of high technology to Russia and activity to widen the membership of the World Trade Organisation to (include) Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus," Putin said. (Reuters)

Hey Barack- he called you "brave" for doing what's in Russia's interests, and abandoning the cause of freedom... maybe if you let him snake Ukraine, you'll be a "hero" and Vlad will give you a medal- LOL
