Exclusive: The Mystery of the Missing Communist Party

by LEE ELLIS June 9, 2008

I am an old mystery fan. As a boy,I devoured all the old Erle Stanley Gardner and Agatha Christie mysteries and now read the newer Mary Higgins Clark novels. I guess this is the reason I still get suspicious of sudden changes in society and feel the need to investigate.

For example, I recall all the interest in Communist fronts, especially in the Joseph McCarthy era, before a combination of too much liquor and the Edward R. Murrow CBS show destroyed him.

Have you noticed that the word "Communist" has just about disappeared from our media and our language?I wondered why.

Seeking an answer, I recalled from my detective books that amotto they often used was "cherchez la femme"(look for the woman). This did not seem to apply here. Another, frequently used by Perry Mason, was, "follow the money." I did - with no success.Finally, I asked myself, who is trying the hardest to destroy America's economy as the Communist Party had always done?

Mystery solved? Those purveyors of the myths of global warming (who demanded that America sign Kyoto Treaty but not China, India, or other so-called Third-world nations) seem to be doing what is necessary to break our economy.

The environmentalists also pushed forour forced dependence on foreign oil by blocking us from using the gigantic surplus of oil under America's soil, whether in Alaska's ANWR, Colorado's shale, Montana's coal gasification, or off shore drilling.

Is the Communist Party now masquerading under a new umbrella called "environmentalism"? And is it buying votes with heavy campaign contributions to members of both the Republican and Democrat Parties?

What else could keep America's leaders from using its own oil, while China was (and still is) drillingjust off the shores of Florida with slanted drills aimed right at our own oil? And Iran is planning to get oil directly from the Gulf of Venezuela.

Now, I am not referring to those of us who do their personal best to treat Mother Earth well; I am talking only about those who use the environment as a tool for political propaganda. These kinds of so-called environmentalists have even used our schools to try to instill fear into our children. In some public schools, the kids are taught to get their parents to "go green." If they don't, then cute little tuxedo-dressed penguins and fuzzy whitepolar bears will all perish as the icemelts around them.

Forget that the ice shelf has been increasing in thickness and that the polar bearpopulation has gone up nearly 150% in the last two decades. Ignore the fact that the Gore film was found to have a number of grievous errors. Forget, too, that many true scientists from all over the world do not accept the myth of man-made climate change.

Recently,31,000 world scientists signed a petition organized by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. According to the OISM's board of scientists, ".a review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of carbon dioxide has led to the conclusion that increases during the 20th century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature." To the contrary, the OISM notes that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide have actually increased plant growth rates, among other positive effects." In other words, the agricultural food we need for life is being helped not harmed! There is no man-made global warming other than political propaganda.

Hey, Joe McCarthy! Where are you now? We really need you back in Hollywood and in Washington, D.C.This time, it's to help stop the Leftist Environmentalists from destroying our economy. Reveal their communist tactics!
