Banish The BBC

The greatest danger to world security and sanity is not pan-Islamic terrorism, nuclear proliferation, Democrats or swine flu. It’s the British Broadcasting Corp­oration (BBC), specifically the state-owned network’s World Service on radio and television, that is targeting the US with a ramped up presence on the BBC America cable channel and regular broadcasts via National Public Radio.

For decades BBC News was proper and unaffected without the melodrama infecting media today. Alas, that is hardly the case now. The UK has fallen to the forces of mediocrity commensurate with the “leveling”of society that ignores achievement and emphasizes self-esteem.

Darkness Descends Over Environmental Coup d’Etat

Being thrust into darkness was not on my mind until I heard about Earth Hour. Homes and businesses in 4000 towns across the globe agreed to shut off power for one hour at 8:30 PM of a Saturday night to rally public interest in global warming. Several worldwide corporations pitched right in, including McDonald’s who served by candlelight.

The demonstrations are a manifesto from disturbed “greenies” willing to cast us all in the dark to end dependence on fossil fuels. Despite more recent research that earth may not be warming at an alarming rate after all, environmental zealots continue apace with rapturous devotion. Take heed. We may all be groping around in the dark if sanity is not restored soon.
