Americans Deserve to Consume More Resources

Maybe if Our National Anthem
was "America the Beautiful..."
Photo by: TW Collins

In nature, the entity that supplies most of the benefit to a community gets most of the resources. Let's take the example of the Queen Bee. A queen develops from the same egg or larva as any other bee; the only difference is that she gets vastly greater amounts of royal jelly than the average worker honey bee. Because of this the queen develops into a sexually mature female.

It is the Queen Bee that ensures the survival of the hive and despite the communist misconception that it is the workers that contribute the most to society, nature itself makes the value judgment by allocating the greatest resources to whom she considers the most important. Of course, worker bees never complain that her Highness is only one bee yet consumes a greater proportion of resources than the rest of the hive. They know she deserves it.

Since I was a child I have heard, read, and seen reports about how much of the world's resources we few greedy Americans consume. Here's one:

Solar Energy International, Energy Consumption

• Though accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, Americans consume 26 percent of the world's energy.


• In 1997, U.S. residents consumed an average of 12,133 kilowatt-hours of electricity each, almost nine times greater than the average for the rest of the world.


• America uses about 15 times more energy per person than does the typical developing country.

Here are some interesting but meaningless facts:

Mindfully.org, Consumption by the United States

On average, one American consumes as much energy as

• 2 Japanese


• 6 Mexicans


• 13 Chinese


• 31 Indians


• 128 Bangladeshis


• 307 Tanzanians


• 370 Ethiopians

So Average Joe American uses as much energy as 370 Ethiopians, so what? What the hell do Ethiopians contribute to the world? Nothing but more Ethiopians who consume the Earth's oxygen, beg us for money, food, and medicine and then bad mouth us for helping them.

We deserve to use more resources. It is Americans who have contributed the most in medicine, physics, and chemistry (38% of all Nobel Prizes); we are the most generous people on this planet; when there is a disaster somewhere the world expects us to help.

If you read the previous article posted today at Reject The UN, Who is Selfish? by An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings you would learn:

The overwhelming bulk of the burden in feeding the world’s starving poor remains with the United States and a small group of other predominately Western nations, a situation that the WFP [United Nations World Food Program] has done little so far to change, even as it has asked for another $775 million in donations to ease the crisis.
...
Donor listings on WFP’s website show that this year, as in every year since 1999, the U.S. is far and away the biggest aid provider to WFP. Since 2001, U.S. donations to the food agency have averaged more than $1.16 billion annually — or more than five times as much as the next biggest donor, the European Commission.

OPEC Countries with gazillions of dollars of oil revenues donated diddlysquat. Perhaps that's why Arabs introduced the concept of zero (from the Hindus) to the Western world: so they could give zip in humanitarian aid.

We contribute more to the world than we get back; if the world was fair we'd be consuming 75% of the world's resources and no one dare complain. When the rest of the world bitches about it it's because they are ungrateful wretches - without America the world would still be living in 1910 (although it should be noted that Muslim countries still live in 632 A.D.).

SFGate, 9 May 2008, UN to resume food aid flights to Myanmar

The United Nations says it will resume food aid flights to Myanmar on Saturday.

It also forecasts heavy rains next week in the country already devastated by a cyclone.

The U.N. food program says it will send two planes with goods to feed hungry survivors. The World Food Program had suspended help after Myanmar's junta seized U.N. aid shipments headed for hungry and homeless survivors.

I wonder if the United Nations Human Rights Council will officially condemn the junta or will it blame Israel for somehow causing the natural disaster?

UN secretary-general calls food price rise a global crisis

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - A sharp rise in food prices has developed into a global crisis, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday.

Ban said the U.N and all members of the international community were very concerned and immediate action was needed.

He spoke to reporters at U.N. offices in Austria, where he was meeting with the nation's top leaders for talks on how the United Nations and European Union can forge closer ties.

"This steeply rising price of food - it has developed into a real global crisis," Ban said, adding that the World Food Program has made an urgent appeal for additional $755 million.

"The United Nations is very much concerned, as (are) all other members of the international community," Ban said. "We must take immediate action in a concerted way."

Ban urged leaders of the international community to sit down together on an "urgent basis" to discuss how to improve economic distribution systems and promote the production of agricultural products.

The U.N. cries about global warming and encourages the production and use of E85 ethanol, and that is a crock, Algore and his global warming crowd have urged the world to turn foodstuffs into fuel...

Food needs to be just that, food, stop the nonsense and allow the drilling for oil, use corn to make cornbread and not some BS gas additive that doesn't do any good to anyone...

People like Gore, the U.N. and even George Bush have got to make a decision, and soon, are we going to feed the world and develop alternative energy or do we starve the world by touting the useless??

U.N. Says Darfur Conflict Getting Worse

UNITED NATIONS — The conflict in Darfur is deteriorating, with full deployment of a new peacekeeping force delayed until 2009 and no prospect of a political settlement for a war that has killed perhaps 300,000 people in five years, U.N. officials said Tuesday.

In grim reports to the Security Council, the United Nations aid chief and the representative of the peacekeeping mission said suffering in the Sudanese region is worsening. Tens of thousands more have been uprooted from their homes and food rations to the needy are about to be cut in half, they said.

"We continue to see the goal posts receding, to the point where peace in Darfur seems further away today than ever," said John Holmes, undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs.

The conflict began in early 2003 when ethnic African rebels took up arms against Sudan's Arab-dominated central government, accusing it of discrimination. Many of the worst atrocities in the war have been blamed on the janjaweed militia of Arab nomads allied with the government.

A joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force took over duties in Darfur in January from a beleaguered 7,000-man AU mission. But only about 9,000 soldiers and police officers of the authorized 26,000 have deployed.

The U.S., the U.N. and World Hunger

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) - The U.N. chief warned Sunday that the world must urgently increase food production to ease skyrocketing prices and pledged to set up a task force on a crisis threatening to destabilize developing nations.

The cost of food has increased by around 40 percent since mid-2007 worldwide, and the strain has caused riots and protests in countries like Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Haiti and Egypt.

"We must make no mistake, the problem is big. If we offer the right aid, the solutions will come," Ban said at the opening of a a five-day U.N. conference on trade and development in Ghana's capital, Accra.

"One thing is certain, the world has consumed more than it has produced" over the last three years, he said.

UN chief warns world must urgently increase food production

DES MOINES, Iowa - At a time of record agricultural profits, concerns are mounting that American farmers could be edging toward a financial crisis not seen since the 1980s farm-economy collapse.

Soaring land values, increasing debt and a reliance on government subsidies for ethanol production have prompted economists to warn that what some describe as a golden age of agriculture could come to a sudden end. At risk are the livelihoods of thousands of farmers, the health of hundreds of banks and the vitality of an agricultural industry that has been one of the nation's few economic bright spots in recent months.

"We're in a very risky time, and yet we don't seem concerned about that risk nearly as much as we should be," said Barry L. Flinchbaugh, an agricultural economist at Kansas State University.

Crisis looming for U.S. farmers?

The USA has been the bread basket of the world for many years but it appears that could soon become a thing of the past...

Many 3rd world nations are hungry, and that is a sad situation, but those 3rd world countries aren't producers, they are consumers, and their consumption is not accomplished through buying foodstuffs, they are not contributing to any economy, they are leeching off of other, more prosperous nations, they are the recipients of charity, donations, food surpluses from other nations, but those surplus food supplies are rapidly drying up, and U.S. production is on the verge of a serious crisis that may leave the USA with no choice other than to take care of her own, and that would be a real change of attitude I think, for America to actually place Americans 1st as we feed, clothe and house all of OUR people before we worry about the well being of others...

In many cases, those others that we take care of are more than able to help themselves, if only they would, they could stop their warring factions from fighting and have them begin farming, they could feed their own instead of wiping them out in tribal genocide...

I know that the USA can't engage in total isolationism, but we are fast approaching a time when we will be faced with some really tough decisions, not tough for me, but certainly difficult for those that put the welfare of other nations ahead of our own...

Violent Kosovo clashes spark U.N. police retreat

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Kosovo - U.N. police were ordered to pull out of northern Kosovo on Monday as hundreds of Serbs opposed to Kosovo's independence rioted in the flashpoint town of Mitrovica.

NATO troops also under automatic weapons fire during the clashes, according to a French NATO spokesman.

The rioting was a challenge to the authority of NATO, the United Nations and European Union, underscoring fears that Kosovo could be heading for partition one month after breaking away from Serbia.

The riots came after Serbs attacked a U.N. convoy carrying Serb detainees from a raid on Monday, enabling several detainees to escape, witnesses said.

U.N.: Tasers Are A Form Of Torture

(CBS/AP) A United Nations committee said Friday that use of Taser weapons can be a form of torture, in violation of the U.N. Convention Against Torture.

Use of the electronic stun devices by police has been marked with a sudden rise in deaths - including four men in the United States and two in Canada within the last week.

Canadian authorities are taking a second look at them, and in the United States, there is a wave of demands to BAN them.

The U.N. Committee Against Torture referred Friday to the use of TaserX26 weapons which Portuguese police has acquired. An expert had testified to the committee that use of the weapons had "proven risks of harm or death."

"The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted a form of torture, and that in certain cases it could also cause death, as shown by several reliable studies and by certain cases that had happened after practical use," the committee said in a statement.

U.N.: Tasers Are A Form Of Torture

OK, that does it for me, the UN said Tasers are torture, so, NO MORE TASERS, just go ahead and beat the crap out of em or shoot em, but for Gods sake don't use a normally non-lethal method of subduing an agitated or violent offender, we can't have that now can we??

What the hell, why even shoot the bad guys?? Just let em run wild, it doesn't matter what the police do, there's going to be some asshats that are always at the ready to condemn the cops, even if a cops gives his life in the line of duty, some asshat will find fault in the way he did it...

The U.N. is the most useless organization that has ever existed, and I honestly believe that given the opportunity, they would love to totally govern the USA, and with the Globalist designs a certain U.S. president has, the idea isn't all that far fetched...

The U.N. seeks to disarm our citizens and now condemns Tasers as torture, just another move towards total disarmament of the American people, it's easier for U.N. forces to take over that way....

Surrender Is Not An Option

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton has a new book out, Surrender Is Not An Option, about which he spoke on Monday afternoon with Hugh Hewitt.

Some various salient observations on the UN by Ambassador Bolton, direct from the interview transcript -- read what Bolton says first about Iran:

HH: Let’s switch over to Iran now. Page 340 of Surrender Is Not An Option. The fact is, you write, that Iran will never voluntarily give up its nuclear program, and a policy based on contrary assumption is not just delusional, but dangerous. This is the road to nuclear holocaust. Overstatement? Or do you really believe we’re lurching towards the use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East?

JB: Well, you know, the President himself believes that there’s a risk of nuclear holocaust. And his recent remark about World War III was a public reflection of things that he has said and felt since the beginning of the administration. I think this problem of Iran was put very well by Dan Gillerman, who’s Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, and a good friend of mine when I was in New York. He has said that President Ahmadinejad is denying the existence of the original Holocaust while preparing for the next one. And I think that’s a very insightful assessment of what’s going on in Iran, so that if we follow, continue to follow the course that we’ve been pursuing for four plus years, led by the Europeans to try to negotiate Iran out of nuclear weapons, not only will we fail, we’ll end up in a worse position. It goes back to the point I made a moment ago. Time is typically on the side of the proliferators. And in this case, Iran has very effectively used four plus years of negotiations with the EU to perfect uranium conversion, changing uranium from a solid to a gas, and to perfect uranium enrichment, to get the U245 isotope up to weapons grade levels. So time has been used against us here in a very profound way.

Read what Bolton says about the State Department's "institutional memory" or, for that matter, any memory:

HH: And for those of you who are trying to find that segment, that’s on Page 449, where he talks about the prototypical civil servant being excellent, and we’ll come back to that. But before we move on, is there any awareness within the State Department, Ambassador Bolton, that they botched the first Holocaust, they held back on the refugee numbers admitted to the United States, they did not facilitate the distribution…in many ways, they were complicit in the launching of the Holocaust. Is there any burden that they bear, vis-à-vis the second pending holocaust as a result of that? Or has that gone down the memory hole?

JB: Well, you know, the answer is I don’t think they have any recollection or burden in that regard, and it’s a fascinating aspect of the State Department where one of the arguments for the culture as it is, is this deep expertise on regions of the world, and the nature of the problems. The historical memory at the State Department is actually very thin. I was shocked by that on any number of occasions in the various jobs I’ve worked in the Department going back to the early days of the Reagan administration of how hard it is to get people who can think back more than a few years. That’s something, that’s another problem that needs to be corrected, because each new person who comes onto the job approaches it as if everything that’s gone before has not had the benefit of their superior wisdom, so they some in and think that they can immediately solve things, which is another dangerous risk we often run.

And for whom do those at the State Department work? How about a heaping helping of "clientitis" as explained by Bolton:

HH: …about his principal client. How do you fix clientitis when that client is understood to be other than the United States?

JB: Well, this is very interesting insight into how the State Department views its own problem, because they’ve misnamed it. Clientitis refers to the propensity of officials to take up the cause of the country whose affairs they’re supposed to be dealing with. So if you’re on the French desk, or if you’re in our Embassy in Paris, and you sound like you’re simply advocating French positions, that’s called clientitis, being excessively deferential to the French. Well, if the State Department has any client at all, it’s the United States. So if you’re suffering from clientitis, it ought to be that your accused of excessive zeal on behalf of the United States, which is very a very rare accusation at the State Department. Let’s put it that way. They’ve misnamed the problem, because they fundamentally don’t understand it. But this…the idea that too many people are advancing the parochial interest of the government or the region that they’re responsible for is a problem that we pay for in our diplomacy every day, over and over again. And it is the kind of deeply rooted problem that has grown up over decades, and it will take a long time to correct.

Read what Bolton says about abdication of power and sovereignty, and LOST:

HH: In the summary of your six years in the Bush II administration, you write we withdrew from the ABM, the biological weapons convention verification procedure draft was tanked, you unsigned the Rome treaty on the International Criminal Court. You got some focus on resuming nuclear testing, you foiled international gun control. But it’s like Lucy in the chocolate factory. They just keep coming. This international Law of the Sea Treaty has got a general authority in it which looks like the General Assembly to me.

JB: Well, I think your analogy is a good one, and the Law of the Sea is a particular problem. You know, we’ve learned from experience there are not just the problems the Reagan administration saw in the Law of the Sea treaty. We know from the international criminal court that when you set up these adjudicatory bodies, internationally, you’re turning over potentially enormous grants of our sovereignty to them, so that the problem is actually worse than we originally saw it. And that’s why I thought in the early days of the Bush administration there was so much promise, because he was prepared to reject the Kyoto protocol, withdraw from the anti-ballistic missile treaty, unsign the international criminal court treaty, and a variety of other things, all of which we’ve left behind in this…now this push to support the Law of the Treaty shows the completely 180 degree nature of the turn that they’ve taken.

The interview went on, and Bolton proved that he was the perfect man for the job, had the best interests of the United States in mind and did not shy away from expressing himself -- which is why he was obstructed at every turn.

Support Bolton: buy his book. I shall.

UN Envoy Returns to Myanmar

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari arrived in Myanmar on Saturday for his second effort to reconcile the ruling military and its pro-democracy opponents. But he will also have to deal with the junta's plan to expel the top U.N. diplomat in the country.

Gambari flew directly to the new capital, Naypyitaw, to meet with senior junta leaders, Myanmar government officials said, requesting anonymity since they were not authorized to speak to the media.

It was not known which of the junta leaders would meet with him in Naypyitaw, 250 miles north of Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, or whether he would later be allowed to visit detained democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi.

On the eve of his arrival, the junta accused Myanmar's U.N. Resident Coordinator Charles Petrie of going beyond his duties by criticizing the regime's failure to meet the economic and humanitarian needs of its people, and by saying this was the cause of September's mass pro-democracy protests, which were violently put down by the government.

Gambari was earlier dispatched to Myanmar after the government crackdown, meeting with junta leader Senior Gen. Than Shwe and twice with Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace laureate.

Eyewitnesses in Yangon said security forces had been reinforced in some parts of the city prior to the visit, while residents said access to the Internet was virtually impossible for the third-straight day.

The Law of the Sea Treaty

This article was stolen from Right Wing Rebel and is re-posted in it's entirety...

American Sovereignty is well on its way to complete eradication, if the globalist assholes who dream of a “one world government” have their way and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is ratified by the United States Congress.

For those unfamiliar with what UNCLOS is, it is more commonly called the Law of the Sea Treaty, and is an international agreement that resulted from the third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which took place from 1973 through 1982.

The treaty defines the rights and responsibilities of nations in their use of the world’s oceans, establishing guidelines for businesses, the environment, and the management of marine natural resources. That doesn’t sound really all that harmful does it? Wrong.

It is one of the worst things that could happen to America and the traitors that support it are on par with the idiots that backed the shamnesty plan earlier this year. Ronald Reagan was vehemently against this treaty, which should be reason enough to oppose it.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 17-4 to back the accord, sending it to the full Senate where it needs a two-thirds vote to win final approval. Ratification of this treaty by the US Congress and the signing of it into law, which for George W. Bush is mind-bogglingly in favor of would:

- Establish a new global U.N. controlled bureaucracy with taxation power over all resources in the sea and beneath the seabed. Which would mean American taxpayers would be subject to more taxes and the United States government or its people would have no say in how it would be used, the U.N. would.

- Would force the United States to hand over its sovereignty over seabed claims, and a myriad of other maritime issues, to a newly created U.N. organization. We all know historically how the United Abominations treats America.

By giving up American sovereignty to a U.N. tribunal, and allowing for Americans to be subject to a global tax, ratification of this Treaty by the US would be a giant step forward to the end of America as we know it and the beginning of a one world government.

Call, fax, email, and write your State Senators and don’t let up until this Treaty is defeated. Let them know that you will not see American sovereignty diluted in favor global rule.

U.N. Members, Gun Lobby Face Arms Fight

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Britain, Japan, Australia and others are pushing for an unprecedented treaty regulating the arms trade worldwide, in a campaign sure to last years and to pit them against a determined American foe, the National Rifle Association.

In what U.N. officials say is an “overwhelming” response, almost 100 governments have submitted ideas for such a treaty, to be reviewed over the next year. There’s an “extremely urgent” need for controls on the international gun trade, says Kenya, echoing the sentiment in much of guns-besieged Africa.

But in the U.S., the NRA says it sees a creeping attempt to limit civilian gun ownership within nations - even though the focus now is on setting standards for arms exports and imports.

The international issues “necessarily will come to involve at some point domestic laws and policies regarding firearms,” said former congressman Bob Barr, a leading NRA voice on the subject.

“That’s not what we’re looking at here,” countered Greg Puley, of the Control Arms coalition of pro-treaty advocacy groups. “The point is to control trade in weapons that contribute to conflict and atrocities.”

The NRA and other U.S. gun lobbyists have helped blunt earlier efforts at the United Nations to rein in the weapons trade. Last December, the U.S. delegation cast the lone negative vote when 153 nations approved a General Assembly resolution initiating this new treaty process.

U.N. Members, Gun Lobby Face Arms Fight

OK, once again we’re being faced with the hypocrisy that IS the U.N. and that of tired old European nations and their minions as the cry goes up to do away with the guns again, the last time that call went out, Hitler kicked Europe all to hell, until the Americans waded in and took Europe back…

This is the most ridiculous notion the U.N. and their libber buddies can possibly take on, dictators, just like our own brand of criminals here in the USA, don’t go to the local gun shop and buy their weapons, they steal them, they buy them on the black market or they confiscate them from LEGAL and law abiding gun owners by passing resolutions and legislation that turns those LEGAL gun owners into outlaws, you see, an armed society is a polite, protected society, and unarmed society is a group of subjects, and at the mercy of the dictator in charge…

All something like this does is once again bring up the effort being made by a great number of world leaders to make this a One World Government, led by the U.N. or some other even more sinister organization, and our very own president, being the avowed Globalist that he is, will quite likely roll right over and jump on this band wagon…

The individuals attempting to orchestrate this move say it’s not going to be directed towards the individual gun owners of this nation, DON’T BELIEVE IT, not for one minute, this is nothing more than an effort to take guns out of the hands of every man and woman on earth, and unless you’re a part of this coming Gestapo, you’ll give up your guns or die keeping them…

And I am going to give them all of mine too, as soon as they show up to take them, there’s one catch though, I give em mine bullets 1st…

Bush Urges U.N. to Spread Freedom

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - President Bush announced new sanctions Tuesday against the military dictatorship in Myanmar, accusing it of imposing "a 19-year reign of fear" that denies basic freedoms of speech, assembly and worship.

"Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma," the president said in an address to the U.N. General Assembly. Now called Myanmar, the Asian country also is known as Burma.

Bush also urged other nations to support the struggle for democracy in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon.

"The people of Lebanon and Afghanistan and Iraq have asked for our help, and every civilized nation has a responsibility to stand with them," Bush said.
(snip)
While the war in Iraq continues, Bush made scant mention of it. Similarly, he barely mentioned Iran, a nation the United States accuses of terrorism, pursuit of a nuclear weapon and assistance for insurgents who are killing U.S. troops in Iraq.

Instead, Bush focused his remarks elsewhere, challenging the U.N. to uphold its pledge to fight for freedom in lands of poverty and terror.

Of course he doesn't accept that accusation and observation, how can he?? If Mr. Bush were to criticize his friends at the U.N., they may suspend his membership in the Global Domination and One World Government Leaders Club...

U.S. Sovereignty Threatened by U.N. Treaty, Critics Charge

The U.S. is poised to turn much of its authority on the high seas over to international arbiters by ratifying a long-controversial United Nations sea treaty.

Approval of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a 25-year-old international treaty regulating use of the world’s oceans, is steaming full speed ahead in the Senate, where committee hearings are set to begin Sept. 27.

The full Senate is likely to ratify the treaty -- which would link U.S. naval actions to those of 155 other member nations -- by year's end.

For decades, critics have derided the 182-page Law of the Sea pact as a threat to U.S. sovereignty and naval independence.

They add that it would create a massive new U.N. bureaucracy (the International Seabed Authority); would give environmentalists a back door to greater regulation; and would hinder the U.S. military's efforts to capture terrorists on the high seas.

“This is nothing less than a raid on our sovereignty,” Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., warns Newsmax. “I objected to it when it resurfaced in 2004, and I object to it now as I see it sneaking up on us again. What is this obsession we have for surrendering our jurisdiction to this international body? Nobody can give me a reasonable answer.”

U.N. Chief Heads to Libya

SIRTE, Libya (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Saturday his goal is to reach a final political settlement to end the four-year conflict in Darfur, as he arrived in the hometown of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to discuss upcoming peace negotiations.

Ban announced Thursday that Libya will host the talks set for Oct. 27 and he again praised the country's important mediating role in organizing two meetings with Darfur rebel groups earlier this year. The U.N. chief also made clear he wants these negotiations to produce results.

"First and foremost, we must have (the) Tripoli meeting a success," Ban said. "We'd like to make it the final phase of political negotiations. That's our goal. We'll all try our best efforts."

Ban's stop in Libya was the last in a three-nation tour to promote an end to the protracted conflict in Sudan's Darfur region.
