FORGIVE ME FOR BEING A BIT SHAKEN UP THIS SATURDAY MORNING, BUT PERHAPS THE MOST EXPENSIVE FILM EVER CREATED SAVE SOME BUDGET MONEY FOR SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING..?

I must have AVATAR on my mind..

This story is opposite of a typical Horror Report, one that is personal.. Only a few hours ago, around 3am (the obvious witching hour), I woke up with a quick flash of an arrow.. I realized that my dream was taken up by little blue creatures marching through forests.. Human were there, too, but also these bluish figures.. And within seconds of being awake, I realized that, in my dream, these creatures were called "avatars" ..

IS THIS ANY WAY TO GO GREEN!? CANADIAN NEWSPAPER WRITER CALLS FOR GLOBAL ONE CHILD POLICY!

Diane Francis of the Canadian FINANCIAL POST calls for worldwide one child policy similar to that in China.. a forceful governmental body dictating how many children you should have, all in the name of healing the world of the ravages of climate change..

The radicals are running amok in 'Hopenhagen'..

Francis writes in the FINANCIAL POST in a stunning typographical calm:
"A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days"

The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.
Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict"

It's not the first time that someone defended China's policies on children.. Even today, CHINA DAILY dispatched that population control is being called 'key' to the deal in Copenhagen..

Population control.
"Control."

x x x

Eugenics appears to be making an ugly return, in a new form and with a new set of words.. This time, 'climate change,' and 'cap and trade' appear to be key buzz words for international agreements that may eventually attempt to stop population growth through government rules..

Again, from the FINANCIAL POST:
"China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet"

THE ANTI-SOCIAL NETWORK THAT PROMISES TO END YOUR NET LIFE (with some fine print)

The site offers up a few famous last words.. a memorial page, and with one click, Seppukoo will delete your Facebook page and "liberate" your digital body..

AFP writes,
"The RIP memorial page it offers Facebook dissidents could easily be mistaken for a real memorial for a real deceased person. But McMusker rejected suggestions it was in bad taste and said that no-one was likely to be upset"


Seppukoo.. "We assist you in your virtual suicide" ..

The site offers a 'how it works' page..

And with one little fine print piece to read: "3. reactivate your Facebook account just logging again to Facebook"

Once you're alive on the information highway, not even the promises of assisted digital suicide will end your virtual life..

SOMETHING'S ROTTEN IN DENMARK

COPENHAGEN DOCUMENTS LEAKED: CONTROL OF 'GREEN FUND' WILL BE IN HANDS OF WORLD BANK!

Rift developing in Copenhagen .. leaked documents show the power grab// the new legislation will hand climate change finance to the World Bank, completely discards Kyoto..

A report today in the London GUARDIAN swept the net by storm.. the frightening faces in videos about the end of our days thanks to climate change (along with bad poetry by Al Gore) takes a back seat as news breaks that leaked documents show the real goals of Copenhagen..

The UK GUARDIAN today reported the stunning new revelations that are rocking the climate talks in Denmark..

Among the information in the leaked text causing rifts among nations: GUARDIAN REPORT: "Divide poor countries further by creating a new category of developing countries called "the most vulnerable"

GUARDIAN REPORTS: "Weaken the UN's role in handling climate finance"

GUARDIAN REPORTS: "Not allow poor countries to emit more than 1.44 tonnes of carbon per person by 2050, while allowing rich countries to emit 2.67 tons"

The other revelation in the documents ..
"Antonio Hill, climate policy adviser for Oxfam International, said: "This is only a draft but it highlights the risk that when the big countries come together, the small ones get hurting. On every count the emission cuts need to be scaled up. It allows too many loopholes and does not suggest anything like the 40% cuts that science is saying is needed." Hill continued: "It proposes a green fund to be run by a board but the big risk is that it will run by the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility [a partnership of 10 agencies including the World Bank and the UN Environment Programme] and not the UN. That would be a step backwards, and it tries to put constraints on developing countries when none were negotiated in earlier UN climate talks.""


Read the full text of leaked Denmark documents at Infowars

Carbon taxes... driving taxes.. taxing you for the air you breathe? The cow farts' methane levels.. pretty high. More cows, more farts..

More power to the world government .. the World Bank?

Is the goal really tackling climate change? Or like the frog slowly boiling in the warm pot of water, is the true goal corporations taking over the earth, funded through a carbon credit tax.. The same carbon credits that originated with Ken Lay..

The United Nations said that human's role in climate change 'not in doubt'.. You're the disease, fellow human.. you'll beam off earth and infect the universe..

    Robert Englund talks: My life as Freddy Krueger

    Robert Englund tells the UK paper about early rejection of his character: "In some places, like Canada and Japan. There was a Japanese businessman who decapitated his wife and children, cut their limbs off, boiled them on the stove and ate them and suddenly all of Japan decided they wouldn’t watch horror films for a year. They sent me over there to try to rehabilitate the image of horror films because the Elm Street films had outgrossed Rambo in Japan. The guy had never seen a Freddy film, he just hated his job, flipped out and devoured his family. Horror films got the flack for that"

    CAGES IN COPENHAGEN

    The New York TIMES is reporting today that Copenhagen is talking tough on planned climate change protests coming up during the summit that begins Monday..

    Even being planned: Cages for the 'criminals' that dare speak out!

    The TIMES reported today that 'holding pens' are being set up around the city to cage in protesters during the 12 day climate change summit..

    Tom Zellers Jr. from the New York TIMES wrote today,

    "Officials have made it clear that they aim to keep the peace during the 12-day conference, organized under United Nations auspices. From new laws rushed through Parliament allowing stiffer fines and extended detentions for those deemed unruly, to public displays of newly acquired antiriot and emergency equipment, leaders here say they are preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. Meanwhile, a variety of protest and advocacy groups -- some with obscure political lineage -- have signaled in online postings and other public statements that they will not be cooperating."


    The town appears to be going into a complete lockdown.. Barricades and high fences will surround parts of the city for the meeting; however, Zellers from the TIMES reports a quote from someone that argues the cages are not even large enough to sleep or go to the toilet..
