Believing themselves to be smarter than the average bear, bureaucrats in the Obama administration continue their quest to create a, well, bear market — at least for oil. The White House decided to designate more than 200,000 square miles of Alaskan land and coastline as “critical habitat” for polar bears — the same bear population that has reached greater numbers than previously recorded in history. In fact, despite what Al Gore and his fellow global warmists would have us believe, the population has actually risen by 40 percent since 1974.

This new non-endangered species habitat is enormous enough to qualify as the third largest state in the union, placing it between Texas and California in terms of square miles. Former UnitedHealth general counsel and now Assistant Interior Secretary Tom Strickland claimed at a news conference that the greatest threat to the bear is Arctic ice melt and that “we will continue to work to protect the polar bear and its fragile environment.”

However, the new designation as a critical habitat is the first step in requiring even more government consideration of the supposed negative effect on the escalating polar bear numbers before allowing oil and gas development. The state of Alaska responded by filing a complaint in an effort to stop the listing under the Endangered Species Act.

In the meantime, some 30 percent of the world’s gas supplies and 4 percent of the estimated global oil supply will be placed off limits because of this deceitful claim that the polar bear population is endangered. Next up, the loggerhead turtle, which, if listed as endangered, would bring regulations on everything along the eastern seaboard, including what lights you can put on the ocean-facing side of your house.

Obama Administration Blocking Domestic Oil Leases

Posted by nationalforestlawblog at 09:06 PM on October 08, 2009

Like it or not we live in a global economy.  If the Obama administration enacts policies that make it too expensive to manufacture products in the United States, those products will be made in other countries and shipped here.

Numerous studies have documented how the grossly misnamed Affordable Energy Act of 2009, also known as Cap and Trade or more accurately Cap and Tax, will raise the cost of energy for every American.  If the cost of all energy rises dramatically, will industrial production stay in this country or will it move to China or India that is not constrained by the cost of energy regulations?  China and India already enjoy a significant cost advantage over American producers in many fields; this will just exacerbate that advantage.

While the US taxpayers are paying to support the preservation of United Auto Workers jobs, with outlandish pay and benefit costs, at GM and Chrysler, the same administration is willing to drive industrial production overseas.  Perhaps this is why the administration is also supporting Card Check legislation that will allow easy unionization of millions of workers in the service industries.  It knows that its other policies will destroy millions of well paying industrial jobs in this country.  Based upon the Spanish government’s experiences with subsidizing alternative energy sources through higher conventional energy prices, Cap and Tax will destroy 2 million jobs per year in this country.

For such a damaging plan to be seriously considered there must be a group that benefits from its passage.  Just as Joseph Kennedy benefited handsomely from FDR’s programs in the 1930’s, it turns out that some of main benefactors of this program are also politically very well connected.

In 2004, Al Gore, former Vice President and author of Inconvenient Truth, started Generational Investment Management (GIM) to provide funding to businesses associated with alternative energy.   GIM also happens to own 10% of the Chicago Climate Exchange, which will issue the carbon credits that Cap and Tax legislation is based upon.

In 2007, Al Gore became a partner in the venture capital firm of Kleiman, Perkins, Claufield and Byers (KPCB).  This firm is heavily invested in renewable energy and electrical grid improvements.  The market for their products is almost completely dependent on government programs in the form of subsidies, tax breaks or regulation.  Al Gore’s contribution to KPCB is to promote government intervention into the energy markets.

It is not surprising that venture capital firms and investment firms that will have a stake in the trading of carbon credits, have made extensive campaign contributions to those legislators proposing Cap and Trade legislation.  Clearly, the American public looses in the form of higher energy costs and lost jobs however, a few politically well connected individuals will have much to gain as the result of further government regulation of energy consumption.

David Nace is a Liberty Features Syndicated writer.

God created all sorts of energy resources, only a few of which have been developed and utilized to drive our economy.  Energy is the life blood of freedom and it is what allows our economy to produce individual wealth for all Americans.  And, this is why energy, in all forms, is so very important to the average working American.  Cheap inexpensive oil is what results in the costs of everything to go down to reasonable affordable levels for us all.  When energy is inexpensive it is also an incentive for Americans to start new small businesses, because then it is easier to make a good profit, and therefore lower energy costs results in hundreds of thousands of new jobs and allows for significant increases in money available for wages on the shop floor or out in the field.

Energy prices, like prices for everything, are determined by the principles of supply and demand.  The more supply of energy the United States has available to meet the demand of our large and small businesses and individual needs and desires the less it costs.  That is why we the American people have so much power to lower the cost of our energy and make ourselves individually more wealthy.

The fact is that there are HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of barrels of oil and vast volumes of natural gas available DOMESTICALLY right here in and around America.  In addition America has vast resources in coal energy.  Combining the unfathomable quantities of these resources with new developing energy sources would immensely improve all of our families’ economic conditions.  The Liberty Tree Lantern is astonished at how little the mainstream media is reporting all of the new and existing volumes of domestic energy available for us.  We also find it interesting how little it is reported that the Obama Administration is standing in the way of releasing the leases necessary to drill and harvest these vast resources that would so greatly improve our economy and restore the prosperity of individual citizens.

What we need to do as Americans is to get together and with one Tea Party like voice demand that Obama and his Secretary of The Interior release the leases that our Oil companies need to drill for oil out west on federal lands and offshore all around our country and Alaska so that we can build up America and strengthen our freedom through massive infusions of domestic energy.

The Liberty Tree Lantern is happy to provide just one story, of dozens of available, regarding domestic American energy just waiting for the Obama Administration to let us produce the energy we so desperately need to lower our costs of everything.   Please send a personal message to Congress via, paper, e-mail and phone that you want Obama to release the drilling leases immediately.  Tell them to DRILL  HERE AND DRILL NOW!  (Do you know that Obama is stealing American taxpayer money to “give” to Brazil for ‘them’ to drill for oil offshore?  See:  U.S. Taxpayers to Provide Financing To Brazil for “Their” Offshore Drilling)

When you write or talk to your Congressman, make sure that you mention that the LAST thing we need are taxes on energy that will increase costs on every single thing the American family needs to live and businesses need to create well paying jobs.  Reject Cap-n-TAX in any form, folks, because such taxes will set our entire country back by decades destroy jobs, wealth, savings and create poverty.

The Liberty Tree Lantern has a few questions for our readers to ponder: 

1. Why, after the people of America demanded that the ban on offshore and western Federal Lands expire, which it did some months ago now, has the Obama Administration withheld exploration leases and not allowed oil companies to go where they know the domestic oil likely is for exploration and harvest? 
2. Why is the Obama Administration keeping America from our own domestic energy instead of depending on and importing energy from other countries?
3. Why doesn’t the majority of mainstream media report on the Billions of Barrels of crude oil available in Western Federal Lands and offshore when this energy would obviously improve the lives of so many Americans?
4. America is in a horrible recession RIGHT NOW that could OBVIOUSLY be greatly remedied by dramatically increasing that availability of our own massive volumes of domestic energy, doesn’t the Obama Administration care about the average individual American who is out of work and quickly running out of money due to job loss and increased prices on utility bills, gasoline, food and just about everything else?

Activists like you won an amazing policy victory last year when public outrage forced Congress to finally end its ban on offshore drilling, after 26 long years of keeping America’s vast energy resources in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) locked up and off the market.A year later, the Obama administration is doing everything it can to drag its feet and prevent us from accessing American energy resources. They are trying to ignore the millions of Americans who demanded access to American energy resources by secretly putting the ban back in place.

Even more amazing and outrageous: the Obama administration is now actually poised to lend $2 billion from U.S. taxpayers to the Brazilian national oil company, Petrobras, for offshore drilling in Brazil.

This administration is actually going to force you to pay for offshore drilling in Brazil, at the same time they try to block offshore drilling here in America!

Fortunately, you can do something about it. The Obama administration is required by law to listen to public comments on the subject of energy exploration and production in the OCS.

Please click here to tell the Obama administration to allow offshore drilling here in America!

Offshore drilling in the OCS would be a real economic stimulus that would create jobs and economic growth by actually producing something. A study from ICF International estimates more than 160,000 well-paying American jobs would be created from allowing oil and gas drilling offshore. Government policy to prevent these jobs by banning access to our own resources is completely unacceptable at a time of 9.4 percent unemployment.

According to federal government estimates, the OCS contains 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. We all remember what a hardship it was when gas prices spiked over $4 a gallon last year. We also remember being told that allowing drilling wouldn’t help because it could take years for the new energy sources to reach the market. Well that’s why we can’t wait until the next price spike to start drilling. We need to drill here in America, and do it now.

Please click here to tell the Obama administration to allow offshore drilling here in America!

We only have three weeks until the docket closes on September 21 to make our voices heard, and the radical environmentalists will be sure to weigh in from the other side. Please comment today and pass this email on to anyone you know who can help.

Sincerely,

Phil Kerpen

Dear readers of The Liberty Tree Lantern,

We have been posting several articles about the importance of the Obama Administration to release the leases to the oil companies so that we the people of America can benefit from the MASSIVE quantities of energy that our dear Lord has blessed us with in the western federal lands as well as offshore all around America and in Alaska.  Once we rebuild America from the collapse of “The MATRIX” we are going to really need a lot of “domestic” energy to supply the huge economy that will be created from the U.S. Government being FORCED to comply with the LAWs that we wrote in the Constitution to bind them to ONLY SEVENTEEN ‘enumerated’ things, “listed” in the Constitution, that We The People ‘borrowed’ them OUR authority that we were given by God, to handle.  When our Government collapses down to the size and spending level called for in the enumerated powers clauses, it will only be 1/5th its current size and spending level.  The balance will remain in our productive hands and in our economy.  That is going to take a huge amount of energy where we need ALL SOURCES of energy to feed, because then the vast majority of our average common citizens will become wealthy off of their own hard work, sweat and risk.

In the meantime we could all use a little relief at the pump and on our utility bills.  Once all of these leases are released by Obama and his Administration, the cost of a barrel of oil will drop dramatically and will aid our economy and employment immensely.

So please so contact our Government and follow the recommendation of my friend Mr. Phil Kerpin.  – - Capt. Karl

Editor’s note: This is another is a series of monthly “Freedom Index” polls conducted exclusively for WND by the public opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

Almost half of the Americans who responded to a new poll say they have concerns about the impact of carbon dioxide on the climate, but two out of three say they have no interest whatsoever in opening their wallets to pay for any mitigation.

Asked whether they “believe that man-produced carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases will induce catastrophic climate change” if unaddressed, 49.6 percent of the respondents said yes. Twenty-seven percent said no, and 23.4 percent were uncertain. The concern from Democrats and Republicans was reversed with Democrats saying 10-1 yes and Republicans saying 2-1 no.

However, when asked if they were willing to “pay significantly higher energy bills in the hope of heading off what some scientists believe to be impending climate change,” 63.6 percent said no. That included Democrats by a margin of almost 3-1 and members of the GOP by 12-1.

The WND/Wenzel survey was conducted July 12-17 using an automated telephone technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. The survey included 16 questions and carries a 95 percent confidence interval. It included 807 adult respondents. It carries a margin of error of +/– 3.4 percentage points.

“This dramatizes the decades-old problem that environmental activists have had in pushing for structural change in society to accommodate fears of environmental doom – many people may agree that some long-term harm may befall humanity, but they are much more concerned about the short-term cost,” said pollster Fritz Wenzel.

“After an unusually cold winter followed by a summer where U.S. temperatures have been unusually mild, the urgency to act is clearly waning in the minds of many,” he said.

Only 15.2 percent responded they are willing to pay much more, while 21.2 percent said they were uncertain.

Asked about the pending “cap and trade” legislation in Congress that restricts the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor that can be produced – generating financial penalties for violators – only 23.7 percent of the respondents support the measure.

Nearly 42 percent opposed it and another 35 percent were unsure.

“As the U.S. Senate considers the bill, the fact that fewer than one in four Americans favors its passage should give them serious pause,” Wenzel commented.

The core of the opposition appeared to be the costs, but Americans also were worried about the impact on the economy from rocketing prices for gasoline, natural gas, electricity and other sources of energy.

Learn how close to home “global governance” really is by reading Jerome Corsi’s New York Times best-seller, “The Late Great USA.” This weekend only, get an autographed, hardcover copy for only $4.95 – a $21 discount!

“Nearly half – 46 percent said they think it will harm the economy. And while President Obama and other Democrats have been touting the concept of ‘green jobs’ as the savior of the wallowing economy, few are buying it, our polling shows,” according to Wenzel.

“Just 17 percent said they think ‘Cap and Trade’ will help the economy. Even Democrats are unconvinced – just 26 percent said they think it will help the economy, while an identical percentage of Democrats said it will cause economic harm,” he said.

There also were significant doubts about the constitutionality of the tax program and concerns about its wisdom.

Fewer than 25 voters out of 100 believed the plan to limit production of natural gases that are not actual pollutants, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor event, is constitutional. Nearly 32 percent said it violates the nation’s founding document, and about 43 percent were unsure.

Forty-five percent said it just isn’t wise for the government to attempt it, and 30 percent said they weren’t sure. Only 24.9 percent agreed with the wisdom of the taxing program.

“Even among those who voted for Obama in the November elections, less than one-third (30 percent) said they believed it was constitutional. And, among those same Obama voters, just 31 percent said they thought it was wise to try to regulate man–breathed carbon dioxide and water vapor,” Wenzel said.

“[It] creates a problem for the Obama administration at a time when his job approval rating is sinking and his legislative agenda remains packed with controversial proposals,” Wenzel said. “With the public so heavily weighted against it, to pass ‘Cap and Trade’ may cost the Obama administration much more political capital than it can afford, especially given the looming battle over health care reform.”

Wenzel is president of Wenzel Strategies a public opinion research and media consulting company. Formerly associated with Zogby International, he spent 25 years as a news and political reporter for major metro dailies.

WND recently reported when former Vice President Al Gore, whose “An Inconvenient Truth” video epistle on the claims of global warming has not weathered recent scientific research, promised at a conference in the United Kingdom that the impending virtual energy tax under the U.S. “cap-and-trade” legislation will bring about “global governance.”

Gore, who this year famously left his Nashville mansion’s driveway brightly illuminated during the “Earth Hour” event that promoted energy savings, was speaking at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment.

He said the “cap-and-trade” legislation will be beneficial.

“But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change, and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global government and global agreements,” he said.

His address was captured on video and posted on YouTube:

Only a few weeks ago, a former NASA climatologist asserted global warming simply isn’t happening.

While so-called “global warming” was supposed to bring more and more horrific hurricanes, according to many scientists and politicians, since 2005 only one major hurricane has struck North America.

WND also reported that a team of scientists with years of expertise in climate issues recently wrote to Congress asserting the “sky is not falling” and there is no evidence man is causing global warming.

The letter was signed by physics professors Robert H. Austin and William Happer of Princeton, environmental sciences professor S. Fred Singer of the University of Virginia, retired manager for strategic planning at ExxonMobil Roger Cohen, physics professor (emeritus) Harold W. Lewis at UC-Santa Barbara and others.

WND also has reported on the Petition Project, which has compiled the signatures of more than 31,000 scientists, including some 9,000 Ph.D.s, who flatly reject the “global warming” agenda

If you are a member of the media and would like to interview Fritz Wenzel about this story, please e-mail.

See detailed results of survey questions:

Do you believe that man-produced carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases will induce catastrophic climate change on the planet if they are not addressed?

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a Cap and Trade bill that restricts the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor that can be produced and imposed stiff penalties on violators. Supporters say it will help stop global climate change, but critics say it won’t help and will cause significant increases in the cost of energy and other products. Based on what you know about this bill, do you favor it or oppose it?

Are you willing to pay significantly higher energy bills in the hope of heading off what some scientists believe to be impending climate change?

If it becomes law, how do you think the Cap and Trade bill will affect the U.S. economy?

Do you believe it is constitutional for the U.S. government to impose limits on the production of natural gases that are not actual pollutants, such as man-produced carbon dioxide and water vapor?

Do you believe it is wise for the U.S. government to impose limits on the production of natural gases that are not actual pollutants?

Thousands of taxpayers from across the nation are planning to descend on Washington, D.C., to take their fight against excessive spending, bailouts, growth of big government and soaring deficits to the front door of the U.S. Capitol – and they say lawmakers can’t hide from their loud and clear message.

Fox News’ Glenn Beck has been promoting the 9-12 Project to bring citizens back “to the place we were on September 12, 2001.”

“The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties,” the 9-12 Project website states. “We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created.”

On his show, Beck called Americans to forget about party politics and fight for the return to basic principles upon which the nation was founded.

“Our economy is tanking. It doesn’t show signs of improving,” Beck said. “There are people losing jobs, and it doesn’t look like there is more help on the way there; there are more cuts on the way. People around the world are taking to the streets. Our government responds with bailouts, and when you call them up and say ‘What are you doing?’ you don’t get any response. They’re not listening to you.”

The White House has not responded to WND’s request for comment.

Beck continued, “Ponzi scheme crooks get away with millions, tax cheats are getting promotions, terrorists are on the run, and you just want your family safe. You just want your children to grow up in a sane country, and you don’t want anybody indoctrinating your kids when they get to school. I think a lot of people feel like they’re alone and they just want to give up. I’m here to tell you something important, and that is: You are not alone.”

Get ready for Sept. 12! Visit the one and only “tea party store” now.

Beck said Americans were busy “burying our heads in the sand” or “playing politics” on Sept. 10, 2001.

“It was about Republicans or Democrats,” he said. “On 9/11, we were freaking out and no one knew who attacked us. … On 9/12, no one in the government had to tell us what to do. We just did it. … We gathered our families together. We prayed. We were the people that our grandparents were, and nobody had to tell us.”

Then the political parties got involved, he said, and Americans went back to their partisan squabbling.

The 9-12 Project challenges Americans to recommit themselves to the following principles:

1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday
4. The family is sacred. My family and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

And the project also emphasizes the following 12 values:

1. honesty
2. reverence
3. hope
4. thrift
5. humility
6. charity
7. sincerity
8. moderation
9. hard work
10. courage
11. personal responsibility
12. gratitude

“Become a 9-12er,” Beck said. “Forget about arguing about the parties. … Forget about it. It is a waste of time, and I really believe time is running out.”

Above all, he said, the No. 1 principle Americans must stand for is re-establishment of the Constitution.

In a major movement unaffiliated with – but inspired by – Beck’s 9-12 Project, called the National Taxpayer Protest, thousands of Americans are answering the call and booking travel arrangements to make their voices heard at Capitol Hill on Sept. 12.

Several organizations have united to help organize the tea party movement’s descent on the Capitol, including: Freedom Works, Grassfire/ResistNet, Tea Party Patriots, National Taxpayers Union, Club for Growth, Americans for Tax Reform, Young Americans for Liberty, Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights, Our Country Deserves Better, Campaign for Liberty, Leadership Institute, Free Republic, Young America’s Foundation, the National Association of Rural Land Owners and Smart Girl Politics.

Get your copy of “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream” now!

“Our mission is to present a unified voice of concern over the current administration’s policies regarding taxation, our economy, foreign and domestic policy, as well as our individual constitutional rights as American citizens,” said Grassfire national coordinator Darla Dawald in an open invitation to the public to join the Sept. 12 taxpayer march in Washington, D.C. “America is in trouble, the problems and issues are broad and complex and it will take a monumental effort to stop, change and reverse the destructive course that this administration and Congress has put us on. Together, We the People can effect that change!”

On Sept. 10 and 11, the groups will host grassroots training seminars and Sept. 11 “We’ll Never Forget” memorial. The taxpayer march is scheduled to begin at the Lincoln Memorial at 10 a.m. Sept. 12 and culminate with a rally at 1 p.m. in front of the Capitol.

The National Taxpayer Protest website offers detailed information on travel and hotel accommodations, including directions to the event. Tea party attendees may RSVP there as well.

More than 9,000 people have already registered through the protest website, and the number is growing rapidly.

“Obama managed to have 4 million show up at the Capitol grounds,” Dawald told WND. “We need to do the same if not more. The financial situation is dire, but as one gentleman said, ‘If I have to sell my belongings and crawl there, I will – because it’s that important!’”

Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots told WND the groups are focused on “protecting the values and principles that have made America the greatest nation for future generations.”

She said a confirmed list of speakers and performers will be released soon.

Brendan Steinhauser of FreedomWorks said the movement is gaining momentum as taxpayers plan trips to Washington to join the fight against big government.

“People want to do this,” he said. “The people who have been protesting around the country want to come to Washington and do this in D.C. In a lot of ways, they are being ignored and the media is underrepresenting them and their numbers. They want to come together for one big event and send a very clear message.”

Meanwhile, Beck’s 9-12 Project mission statement explains:

We want to get everyone thinking like it is Sept. 12, 2001, again. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?

• Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?

• Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach … as if you’re completely alone?

If you’ve answered YES, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides – the reality is very different. Once you pull back the curtain, you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.

We surround them.

As part of his own challenge to America, Beck asked patriots to get together with friends and talk about the country, its values, principles and Founding Fathers’ original purpose. He said to stay focused in the quest to take the America back.

“Believe me America, I am as tired as you are. I love my country,” he said. “It’s not the parties or anything else. It’s the principles behind this country. Stand up and fight for them.”
