                                                         Song of Babylon

                                                     "One, three, five, seven.

                                                       I will never think of Heaven.

                                                       Seven, five, three, one.

                                                       I just want a bigger pension.

                                                      "Two, four, six, eight.

                                                        What I love to do is hate.

                                                        Eight, six, four, two.

                                                        The person that I hate is YOU!

                                            

                                                       "Three, five, seven, nine.

                                                         I wish you were out of time.

                                                         Nine, seven, five, three.

                                                         Gone for all eternity.

                                                       "Four, six, eight, ten.

                                                         I just have to say again

                                                         Ten, eight, six, four.

                                                         That I hate you even more.

                                                          

                                                         Die.  Die.  Die."

                                                Where's Rosie?  Katie?  Hillary?

     dhimmiwatch has just reported: 

     " A Muslim extremist group threatened to behead female TV broadcasters if they don't don strict Islamic dress, leaving the women terrified and marking a further downward spiral in Gaza's anarchy. The threat to "cut throats from vein to vein" was delivered by the Swords of Truth, a fanatical group that has previously claimed responsibility for bombing Internet cafes and music shops."  http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/016738.php

     Needless to say, not one female network newscaster in the United States mentioned this horrifying threat.  So much for "sisterhood".

     No male anchors complained about it, either.  One wonders "Why?".  Instead, endless blather about "global warming".

     Where, on the bell curve, do these people live?

 

                                                                  Less is less.

     The culture of death is always in favor of less.  Less food, less smoking, less people, and less power are favored goals.  "Cutting back" is the only way of life they encourage.

     Less power may be defined as slavery.  We are fall into servitude as our access to power declines.  No one in the culture of death, for instance, is in favor of nuclear energy.  They are uniformly against drilling new oil wells.  Those who produce energy are routinely demonized.  Those who consume energy are routinely demonized. 

     They know that as they deny energy to others, they become more powerful.

     "Weakness" may be defined as a lack of power.  Those who take away our energy want us to be weak.  The weak are more easily enslaved.  Recently, electricity rates have doubled in many areas.  They will double, again.  No new power generators are being constructed, except for windmills, which don't produce very much power.  

     Less is less.

                                                Liberals, the result of early food-abuse?

     Vegetarians, or "Vegans", sometimes have children.  Since they have deprived their babies of valuable nutrients, especially vital fats and proteins, their brains cannot develop as fully as God intended.

     Many liberal minds are damaged by fad-driven mothers who deny their own children the basics of life.  Damaged brains are identified in later life as those only able to handle minutia.

     It is better to have a mother who smoked than to have a mother who was a vegetarian.

                                                    The destruction of self-confidence.

     When countries are taken over by looters, there is less opportunity to develop self-confidence.  Vast bureaucracies are empowered to make more and more decisions.   This slowly produces a passive, cow-like society.  People are increasingly mistrustful of their own thoughts and decisions, which allows their governments to take even more power.

     Skills like reading and arithmetic are not taught.  History is distorted.  The goals become pleasing those in power structures who have the power of fines, confiscation, jail, and death.

     The smartest, bravest people are ignored or demonized.  "Co-operators" are encouraged.   Neighborhood spies report independent activity.  Right and wrong become subordinate to "getting along".  Activities like gardening, or throwing away garbage, become exercises in state control.  Most are too afraid to fight.

     "It's only my opinion that having four garbage bins, all of which are dumped into the same dump, is insane.  We all must conform."

                                                              Eliminating competition.

     In the early 1900s, Russia was poised to become one of the world's richest nations.  It stretched across half the world.  The Trans-Siberian Railroad allowed European settlers to begin developing the endless riches of Siberia.  Russia was about to become the Eurasian version of the United States.

     Those dependent on established cash flows in Western Europe were worried.  "Russia has a very efficient government, run by a Czar instead of politicians and bureaucrats whom we can control.  They will build factories on the other side of the Urals.  Our industries will have to compete with their low-cost, modern facilities the same way we now have to compete with products from the United States.  Their farms will produce food inexpensively.  Their new railroad will flood our cities with grain, destroying our own agricultural base."

     So, Lenin was smuggled into Russia, along with as much money as he needed to cause a revolution.  He would keep Russia from damaging European economic and political interests.  Russia, as planned by Western European states, was destroyed so thoroughly that it still hasn't recovered.

     Later, the same thing happened on a smaller scale.  Forty years after Lenin began the destruction of Russia, American interests in Florida were threatened.  They knew that opening up Cuba and its coastline for American-owned properties would undercut the Florida property values, the taxation of which gave them endless raises.  Just as Lenin replaced the Czar, so Castro was sent to replace Batista.  Once again, as planned, a plague of death and poverty turned the threat of Cuba into a disaster area.

     Many understand how desperate those addicted to the things of creation can be.  They will kill, enslave, and destroy hundreds of millions of their neighbors to keep their "things".  Many do not understand.  Understanding is one of the things that divides sheep from goats.

              When there are no convenient countries to loot, Babylonians turn on their own people.

     Taxes are a measurement of tyranny.  A country with a ten percent tax rate, not dissimilar to most medieval monarchies, has enough to take care of its people.

     When too many people are working for the government, the citizenry offers the only additional source for the raises and increased demand of those in its public sector.  So, citizens are looted and controlled.  Just as Russian citizens could not escape through the barbed wire, and American citizens were kept from buying property in Cuba, trapped citizens are relentlessly, ruthlessly taxed.

     A powerful media convinces many that confiscatory taxation "helps".  Countless problems, from dyslexia to dioxin, are publicized.  Most people are trusting, not because they actually believe what they instinctively know is a pack of lies, but because they will not be taxed to pay to "fix" the problems.  With a cheerfulness that has to be seen to be believed, they know that they "are helping" by encouraging the unnecessary solving of an imaginary problem and will happily let their wealthier neighbors be looted.

     None of them will ever understand that helping to shaft their neighbor works against them.  Wealthy people say "Let's legalize gambling."

                                               It's hard to imagine how pitiful they are.

     Most of us are so used to the lies of the left that we don't pay a lot of attention.  We hear the usual claptrap about choice, trans-fats, salt, sugar, and temperature so often that we filter most of it out, shaking our heads sadly at the gullibility of our fellow free-will programs.

     The problem is with their gullibility, but it's on such a deep level that it's hard to spot.  Their gullible natures come from a lack of wisdom and discernment.  Wisdom is a gift of The Holy Wireless Connector.  Those who do not believe are, therefore, unable to use their gifts to find truth.

     This is one reason Catholic Fundamentalism is so important.  Suddenly, in an age awash in the worship of humans, the idea that "God can program in three dimensions" is a great relief.  It's like a breath of fresh air to realize  "He can program particles, have them compiled into structures and beings, and let them move through time." This relieves us of the waste of justifying nonsensical theories like evolution and the "big bang" and focus on loving our neighbors. 

     It's also a great way to let people know that God is real, but has simply been defined too narrowly.

     Once a person realizes that "God can program particles", every theory put up by the Babylonians is seen for what it is, a distraction from, or an attack upon, the goodness of life and truth.  A return to Church and Scripture is thereby made easier.

                                    The Programmer is Programming, all's right with the world.

     The wonderful thing about mass communications is that it lets us see how imaginary most problems are.  In an instant, lies can be broadcast everywhere and used to change the minds of individuals, guiding them toward ever-less freedom.

     The tiny details of the lies are remarkable.  In England, Tony Blair wanted to "save electricity by cutting off all power to all products not in use."

     That sort of insanity, saving maybe a tenth of a tenth of a percent of power usage while making things work less well, while causing power surges that outweigh the savings, is the sort of lie that Babylon loves.

     We are better to assume that every "problem" is imaginary, that every scare is a lie, and that things are going along pretty well.

                                    Sin measures the gap between us and The Programmer

     When an uncorrupted disc is inserted properly into a computer, it hums happily away.  When we are obedient to the Operating Instructions, we hum happily away in the suburbs of The Kingdom of God. 

     In our age, computers exist to show us a dim reflection of how God operates in Trinitarian form.  The Programmer, The Program (Jesus Christ, The Program in perfect, loving, human form), and The Holy Wireless Connector keep us in touch with a perfect power source, whose pure wavelengths are interrupted only by our wilful separation from Him.

     On a disc, a little bit of corruption may lead to a whole lot more.  We want to be sure, when we our thoughts, words, or actions are not in accordance with the Programming Instructions (Church and Bible) that we always remember we can get rid of that which separates us from God and which separation causes all the misery and unhappiness that we ever have.

                                                 The news behind the news behind the news.

News story:                                                                 Real story:

Global warming threatens world & people.                We need excuses for more taxes and less freedom.

Lead-based paint destroys kids' brains.                     Special interests have a profitable replacement.

Freon is destroying the ozone layer.                           Some company has a profitable replacement.

Drilling for oil must be stopped!                                  Political contributors have profitable wells.

Public transportation needs funding.                           Big unions want to stop freedom of transportation.

Nuclear energy is dangerous.                                      Coal and oil protects high-profit power.

Pressure treated lumber kills children.                       Lumber sellers want wood to rot faster.

Ethanol helps.                                                               Farm state senators want more for their corn.

Support public education.                                            The usual people want more money.

     Special interests are behind public relations campaigns.  Public relations campaigns are behind most headlines and broadcasts.  As an intellectual exercise, Catholic Fundamentalists look behind the headlines by asking "who benefits?"  The answers, as above, are obvious.  It's also obvious that those involved do not care as much about truth as about profit.

     Love the poor, lost souls.  They do not understand that, by participating in what Dante called "Complex Frauds" that they give up access to The Programmer and His joyful, error-free life beyond.

                                                        More "news behind the news".

Some Phila. Cabbies Refuse Rides to Visually Impaired

by KYW’s John McDevitt

"Even though it’s the law, some cab drivers are refusing service to blind people in the city of Philadelphia because of their guide dogs. . . ."

     What's the real reason cab drivers aren't picking up people with seeing-eye dogs?  There's a strict law in Philadelphia that any doggie "accidents" must be taken care of, or the dog's owner receives a heavy fine.  Thousands of cameras are programmed to swivel about in the hopes of recording a dog and its owner leaving a mess behind.  When that happens, Philadelphia's famed "Clean Streets" squads spring into action.  They issue tickets which mandate thousand dollar fines.

     The blind are unable to tell that their dog has had an "accident".  As a result, thousands of them have been heavily fined.  Some have been driven by desperation to turn their white canes into "pooper-scoopers".  That has not worked well.  When they approach a blind person swinging his cane where he thinks there may be the remains of an "accident", throngs of pedestrians have been known to veer into the street.  There, many have been run over by the fleets of huge, empty buses that careen through town at high rates of speed to provide the illusion that public transportation is "vitally important".

     So, the people who train the seeing-eye dogs have taught their dogs, when they feel the need, to nuzzle against their owner, who is told that signal means the dog is tired, needs to stop walking, and ride in a taxicab.  Before the owner can get in, the dog, as it's been trained, jumps into the cab, and does its business out of camera range.

     Then, it returns to its owner, gives a signal to continue walking, and they go on down the street, as if nothing had happened.  The taxi driver, separated from the rear compartment by a hermetically sealed sheet of bullet-proof glass, has no idea that there's a mess in the back of his cab.  Neither, of course, does the dog's owner.

     Native Philadelphians, most of whom live in the utter squalor that characterizes the city, are unaware that there's anything unusual when they enter and exit the cab.  In the City of Brotherly Love, the only people who will ride in cabs are, in fact, native Philadelphians.  To get business from the dwindling number of out-of-towners who can be inveigled to enter Philadelphia, the cabs are hosed out once a week in an environmentally approved strawberry farm far off in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.

     After several years, a growing number of Philadelphia cabbies have made the connection between seeing-eye dogs and the intolerable condition of their cabs.  As a result, they tend to drive by the blind.  Class-action lawsuits against the cab companies were discouraged when it was pointed out that few, if any, of the blind people ignored by the cabbie realized that they were waiting for a cab, or even knew that they had been passed by.

     The dogs, of course, were allowed to sue, but Philadelphia's archaic court system did not recognize the validity of dogs as plaintiffs.  "What's next, are we going to have chickens sue Colonel Sanders?", asked the disallowing judge.  Plans are afoot to replace him with a more progressive jurist who will follow the Philadelphia tradition of helping Philadelphia lawyers.

                                                         Poem of Philadelphia

     Philadelphia is in the south-east corner of Pennsylvania.  Pittsburgh is in the south-west corner.

The rest of the state is known as "The T".  The "T" is the shape of the area of Pennsylvania that Philadelphians regard as their own latifundia-like slave farm, factories, and mines.  The "T" is worked by modern versions of Rome's slaves.

    Since the days when the Penn family literally owned the entire state, we "T-people" have been accustomed to being relentlessly taxed to support Philadelphia's ravenous mob.

     Every possible dollar is taken from the "T" and sent, often by armed guard, to Philadelphia.  Today, thanks to e-mail, the well-connected of Philadelphia have the deposits go straight into their accounts without the inconvenience of opening envelopes and trudging to crowded banks to make deposits. 

     On some holidays, truckloads of cash taken from the "T" is distributed directly from the spreaders of passing salt trucks to the throngs of drunken Philadelphians who line the sidewalks screaming, "More!  More!" while bands play rousing music.

     Every Philadelphian learns the "Poem of Philadelphia" at a very early age:

    

                                      Poem of Philadelphia.

                                "Take more money from the 'T'.

                                  Then, give some of it to me.

                                  And, I will vote for you.

                                  People in the 'T' are cretins,

                                  Keep them trodden down and beaten.

                                  And, I will vote for you.

                                  Take away their cars and houses.

                                  Make them give up kids and spouses.

                                  And, I will vote for you.

                                   They're mindless cattle, dumb as flies.

                                   Make their taxes really high.

                                   And, I will vote for you.

                                   Pay our teachers who won't teach.

                                   Buy me a house on the beach.

                                   And, I will vote for you.

                                   Bribe and bully whom you must,

                                   Grind their faces in the dust,

                                   And, I will vote for you.

                                   Kids in day care, moms at work

                                   Make 'em pay, they're wretched jerks.

                                   And I will vote for you.                              

                                    We cannot make an honest living

                                    So, you have to keep them giving

                                    Cash to Philadelphia.

                                        Philadelphia, Quakerism taken municipal form.

     The Penn family, pious Quakers, owned slaves.  Sometimes, they promised to free their slaves when they died.  They didn't. 

     As Quakers and pacifists, the Penn family did not fight in the French & Indian War.  They did not fight in the Revolutionary War.  They did not fight in the War of 1812, the later war with Mexico, or the War Between the States.  They did, however, sell goods used to fight those wars.

     During this period of pious pacifism, the Penn's private army waged war against settlers from Connecticut and other colonies.  The Penns fought three Pennamite Wars to keep their fellow colonists our of their private preserve, Pennsylvania.

     Many settlers from Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and England moved into Pennsylvania.  Their votes were carefully gerrymandered to keep legislative control of Pennsylvania in the hands of Philadelphia's Quakers.  Philadelphia's Quakers ran, and taxed, the state the way they wanted.  Their power was based squarely upon the double Quaker hypocrisy of loving their fellow man while owning slaves and eschewing war while profiteering from it and hiring their own private army of mercenaries to burn, loot, kill, and pillage their enemies.

     The City of Philadelphia still depends on looting the rest of Pennsylvania.  It justifies what outsiders see as rank parasitism by proclaiming itself to be an invaluable center of moral and social values.  In their minds, Philadelphia has become such a vitally important moral center as to be worthy of forced subsidization by the rest of Pennsylvania.

     It is a hollow city, perhaps the hollowest city in the world, a gas balloon of puff and hype.  So far, it's working.

                                                            The unfortunate divide.

    Living in a small town to which many Catholics fled after their city neighborhoods were destroyed by vicious spasms of "urban renewal" provides an opportunity to see what happens to Catholics when separated from their parishes.

     The first generation to "move to the country" maintains ties with the local parish, though most of their neighbors are Protestants.  The second generation of rural Catholics goes through Baptism and Holy Communion.  A smaller number stays in attendance through Confirmation.  Over time, many of the Catholics become Protestants, often joining socially active mega-churches.

     Rural Catholics in the third generation often fall away from any church attendance at all.  They often do not marry, and do not have children.  Few realize that their jobs, often as unionized craftsmen, were protected by The Church. 

     When they lost their faith, their incomes dwindled along with their families.

 

Friday, June 22, 2007

                                 There are two kinds of morons, intellectual and spiritual.

     The Programmer allows frauds to exist.  They're a handy way to identify how smart and how truthful people are and offer Him an easy way to measure faithfulness.

     Global Warming, the most magnificent fraud since Marxism, separates the intellectual morons from those able to see the falsity.  It also separates those who embrace fraud for gain (the moral morons) from people who prefer truth to popularity.

     After weighing the evidence, only an intellectual moron could actually believe in a fraud like Global Warming.

     Those who purposely ignore the evidence of solar-induced global warming, which, incidentally, warms distant Neptune at the same rate the earth warms, are "moral morons".  They have put Babylon ahead of God, and put their souls at risk of eternal agony.  They violate two Commandments, putting faith in popular belief ahead of God and they bear false witness.

     Many make a living by not just ignoring, but by inventing, lies, distortions, and exaggerations to fool people into believing that man-made global warming is a great danger.  Such people are more involved in this "complex fraud", as Dante labeled such deceptions. 

     The punishment meted out to the worst of the "moral morons" is far greater than that given to the "intellectual morons" whom they bamboozle.

 

Saturday, June 23, 2007

                                                         Facts are inconvenient things.

     Lies are told to procure gains illicitly.  Those who make a living from lies hate to see their gains destroyed, and become active opponents of specific truths that may undermine their livelihoods.  Those who tell larger lies become active opponents of the concept that truth can exist or be known.

     Catholic Fundamentalists think that lies are living things, demons unleashed by men upon their neighbors.  The gullible creatures who believe the lies are similar to the lower levels of a pyramid.  Higher on the pyramid are a smaller number of those who repeat the lies.  They are beneath those who invent the lies.  Those who pay for lies are at the top of the pyramid of lies and liars.

     All lies are pretty much the same.  "If I can make _________ believable, I will get what I want."  When confronted with facts that contradict their lies, they will add new lies.  Lie-watchers enjoy observing them compounding the first lie with a second, a third, and a fourth.  We shake our heads in astonishment at how little they value truth.

     Big, complex lies like Global Warming need thousands of lies.  An unending parade of liars, sniffing money, will gladly contribute new and better lies.  Soon, the edifice begins to crack and collapse as too many lies are added to it.

     In the blinking of an eye, the lie may be replaced with a new, and better lie, the way communism was replaced with environmentalism.

     The process then begins again.

                                                             Spiritual zoology.

     Thoughts and ideas are a little like angels.  They move around in our minds, and influence what we say, do, and desire.  The Roman Catholic Church wants us to align our individual programs with God's.  The Church wants us to love God, neighbors, and enemies.  To help, The Programmer has provided us with Doctors of The Church.  They have developed thoughts and philosophies whose study brings us closer to Him.

     Ideas that separate us from God are also living things, demonic and destructive in nature.  On some TV broadcasts, the perceptive viewer can see these mini-demons being inserted into millions of minds, where their broadcasters hope they cause people to separate themselves from God and His Church.

     In every stage of development, the other side sends ideas, like packs of ravenous hounds, into human minds.  Their end goal is hatred. 

     Though they live in our minds, they are invisible to all but the most sensitive.  Sometimes, holy men and women tell us, if we pray enough, we may catch little glimpses of these loathsome creatures at work.  We can also get a sense of the angels whose constant work keeps them, if we ask, under control.

     The Seven Deadly Sins (Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust; remembered by the mnemonic PEAS, Green, Good, and Little) are vicious, though ethereal, beasts.  The insinuate themselves into our mind and try to make us act in ways that ensure that Satan will get our soul.

     When we catch ourselves thinking a sinful thought, we should immediately ask for the strength to get it our of our minds.  That power comes from God and empowers our Guardian Angel(s) to get rid of the evil spirits who want us to erase the love of The Programmer and download the destructive viruses of the de-programmer.

                                                      Some things never change.

     In the early part of the last century, the religion known as Christian Science became popular.  It was largely supported by wealthy women.  In many small cities, Christian Science Reading Rooms became part of the landscape.  Their small, well-designed buildings became fixtures across America.

     That denomination has largely waned.  Since then, similarly wealthy women have been involved in many, many distractions.  Today, many have embraced one or more branches of environmentalism as a worthy replacement for the faith of their ancestors.  They speak knowingly of "global warming" and "rising sea levels".

     T.S. Eliot described this process in a mere sentence: 

                                         "In the room, women come and go,

                                           and talk of Michaelangelo.

"Room" symbolizes the period of conscious life.

                                                       12 step program for tax-addicts.

     Tax addiction does far more harm than any of the other addictions.  There is a twelve step program for the tax-addicted:

  1. First, we admitted we were powerless over the desire for other people's money—our lives had become unmanageable without it.
  2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity and self-sufficiency.
  3. Decided to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the God Who told us to love our neighbors and gave each of us the ability to make a living without taking from others.
  4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our fears, realizing that often, we were lying to our neighbors in order to get money from them and power over them.
  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human that we would invent and magnify problems to justify taking more money from our helpless neighbors.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our desire to make a living by forcing our neighbors to give us money for which they had worked.
  8. Made a list of all the taxpayers we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
  11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other people addicted to taxes, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

     When we love our neighbors, we do not steal from them.  We do not lie to them, or try to frighten them.  We respect them, and tell them the truth.  We strive to obey the Commandments.

 

                                                        Two types of tax-recipients.

     Some government occupations were mandated by The Constitution.  These include the armed forces, post office, patent office, customs, etc.  These represent the only tax-supported jobs that The Constitution authorized.

     After a few generations, many people wanted government jobs.  Over time, very large groups of people became dependent upon money confiscated from their neighbors.  Medicine, environmentalism, education, welfare, and a whole raft of social "services" are funded with money confiscated from taxpayers.

    The spiritual problem is that they choose "my neighbor must give me money", in direct opposition to the command that "we must love our neighbor".   Soon, modest public sector incomes are replaced with lush salaries.  Pensions and benefits explode.  More people want a piece of the pie.  Soon, the economy is reduced to vast hordes of people, viciously fighting against each other in order to impoverish the ever-fewer workers who actually do and make things their neighbors think are valuable.

     Tax-addiction replaces actual, useful work. 
     The must useless tax-addicts work the hardest, not to do anything useful, but to maintain funding.  Souls are often sold for more funding.  The most desperate get the most funding, and the many useful government employees become an embattled minority.  The notion of "public service" becomes quaint before it disappears, replaced by those who want ever more for doing ever less.

     The biggest casualty are love and truth and the need for them as an underlying rule of living.

                                                       First, vampires.  Then, cannibals.

     "Bal" in cannibal is the name of the deity beloved by Babylonians from the hanging gardens to his modern followers.

     Today, most cannibalism is economic.  Those with the power to devour their neighbors' property and money do so.  To see how dangerous modern cannibals are, we have but to look to Cuba.  There, a prosperous, Catholic country has been raped and pillaged by Babylonians.  A few years ago, they called themselves "Communist", or "Progressive".  Today, they think of themselves as "Environmentalists".  They endlessly try to replicate the tower their spiritual ancestors built in the plains of Shinar.

     In our own country, many make a living by confiscating and devouring their neighbors' money.  They take most of it for themselves, and use the rest of it to hire similarly motivated souls to "help" get more money. 

     Money, to Catholic Fundamentalists, is a society's version of blood.  It's purpose is to carry energy to the various parts of the body politic.  When allowed to flow freely, both blood and money will get where they need to be.  When there are unnecessary restrictions or waste, human and political bodies are damaged.

     Money that is wasted is like blood that has spilled.  Enough loss automatically weakens the body.  Continued loss causes death.

     Most elected officials in a democracy's dying days will allow death to come before they will stop wasting money.

                                                         Speaking of wasting money,                                       

     The "greenhouse effect" is a wondrous lie woven into the fabric of a far greater one.  We've all seen and heard about it, lots of times.   "Carbon dioxide makes the earth like a greenhouse, getting warmer and warmer as the sun shines.  It's like your parked car getting hot on a sunny day.  We are about to be baked alive.  You do understand that, don't you?" 

     Certain amounts of carbon dioxide are necessary for plant life.  We are slightly above that, now.  These levels make little difference in "global warming".  Actually, increased levels of carbon dioxide make little difference in temperature. 

     Examining the lie shows us a lot about lying.  First, they make a true statement, then add lots of half-truths to it, ending up with a glorious fraud.   A great lie, like "Global Warming" will generate endless funding for those who support it.
