One of the first environmental scams the Congressional quislings ran on the American public was the toilet legislation. In the sixties and seventies we could still buy 3.5 gallon flush toilets. Some lobbyists came up with the scheme to convince the public that we were wasting water and destroying the environment by using so much water. Congress decided that we should only use 1.6 gallon flush toilets and passed a law making 3.5 gallon flush toilets illegal. Toilet manufacturers that did not have high profit margins and could not afford to retool had to shut down. Americans felt good about saving the environment and applauded the legislation. But it was a scam. It’s real purpose was to destroy competition and impose regulations on the public. IT DOES NOT SAVE WATER OR THE ENVIRONMENT. Consider-if I borrow 3.5 gallons of water from the Potomac River, send it through my toilet and back into the Potomac River, the river flow is the same. I did not take water from the Potomac and throw it away. Now if I only borrow 1.6 gallons of water to flush my toilet the result is still the same. I do not create more water in the Potomac by using less. I may clog my sewer line that way, but I don’t create water. THE RIVER FLOW IIS NOT CHANGED. THE WATER IS NOT SAVED AND HELD BY THE RIVER- it flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The principle is the same anywhere in the country.
The conversion to digital television signals was another scam designed to make special interests rich. The forty dollar government rebate for those junk boxes was part of the scam. The real story was the millions forced from the public for digital antennae and new televisions needed to replace the now obsolete equipment.
Curly que light bulbs are another environmental scam. They are supposed to be needed due to an energy shortage. In fact they were used to shut down American lightbulb manufacturers. Obama also used this scam to enrich his friends at Philips electric. He gave them a grant of a million dollars for developing a long life lightbulb that costs $40.00 each. What’s worse is that curly que bulbs are a fire hazard if plugged into a circuit with a dimmer switch. There is no energy shortage.
High energy prices were contrived by the actions of the past several administrations. They’ve stopped the building of refineries, stopped drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, stopped the Canadian pipeline, shut down coal mines etc. They raised prices to enrich their friends; we have plenty of energy. But what they did is even more evil. They’ve forced us to put alcohol in the gasoline we use. This is hard on engines and cuts milage by 15% or more while raising the price of gas. The important part of the legislation was to enrich farmers who grow corm, and their lobbyist friends. It does not save any energy to convert corn to alcohol and add it to gasoline. This has also raised food prices. It’s legislation for the fun of imposing their will on us and making us poorer while enriching themselves and friends. The quislings demand campaign contributions from lobbyists to buy their votes. Incidentally, Congressional quislings don’t write legislation; it’s written by K St. law firms, in other words lobbyists and special interests. (The quislings convert campaign contributions into their own private use when they retire.).
You can find proof of the deceptive scheme In the Washington suburbs. Traffic signals are synchronized to jam traffic up by stopping you at every traffic light. When a University of Maryland professor went to a meeting of the three transportation departments (Maryland, D.C., and Virginia) to explain a computer program that would allow traffic to flow without the tie ups, the bureaucrats told him they have the lights synchronized exactly the way we want them. In other words they are trying to force people to use the inconvenient and expensive public transportation; the elites want us to give up our cars and our freedom. They don’t care about the energy they waste or the pollution created while we sit in traffic at stop lights; they use the lies about energy shortages to manipulate the voters.
You will not find a single piece of environmental legislation passed by these quislings that was not designed to increase government power over us or make some special interest wealthier at the public expense.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE TOILET SCAM, I'M GOING THROUGH IT NOW TRYING TO PURCHASE A NEW TOILET FOR A RENO. EVERYONE WHO HAS THE SUPPOSED "WATER SAVER" TOILET HAS TO FLUSH TWICE. SO YOU END UP USING TWICE AS MUCH WATER. I WENT TO A SHOWROOM & ASKED SALES DEPT WHERE CAN I REPLACE A DIFFERENT COLOR OF A 25 YEAR OLD TOILET THAT FLUSHES BEAUTIFULLY WHEN EVERYONE WHO HAS THE NEW ONES COMPLAINS ABOUT THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT KOHLER HAS BEEN REPLACING WITH A LARGER FLUSH VALVE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE BIG STORES LIKE LOWES & HOME DEPOT BUY THESE THINGS IN HUGE QUANTITIES & THEY ARE SITTING IN WAREHOUSES. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE BEFORE WE CAN GET TO THE NEW MODELS. OBAMA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLOSING ALL THE COAL MINES ON THE EAST COAST AS WELL AS COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS SO "OUR ELECTRIC BILLS WILL NECESSARILY GO UP". HE IS IN CONTEMPT OF COURT IN THE GULF AREA FOR CLOSING DRILLING WELLS AFTER THE MORATORIUM ENDED. THEN JUST STOPPED IT ALL OVER AGAIN BUT HE GAVE BRAZIL $2 BILLION TO DRILL THERE. EVERYTHING HE DOES IS FOR VOTES, NOT LOBBYISTS AS MUCH. DEPT OF INTERIOR WOULDN'T ALLOW THE SKIMMERS TO COME INTO THE GULF TO CLEAN UP THE OIL BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T UNION WORKERS. SECY OF THE INTERIOR, KEN SALAZAR WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPILL BECAUSE HE PERMITTED DEEP SEA DRILLING WITHOUT PROPER PERMITS & REGULATIONS. THEN AFTER SOMETHING HAPPENS & PEOPLE ARE KILLED, WE ALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. WHATEVER THEY DO WRONG HAS A COVER-UP BIGGER THAN THE CRIME.
Excellent post Triptolemus! Absolutely correct in everything you said. The two biggest scams are (1) Obamacare and (2) Cap and Trade. The first will not improve health care or reduce costs. People should follow the disastrous British Health Care system if they want to know what's ahead for us. The second is a global conspiracy to redistribute wealth from the middle class to the wealthy class, just as the examples you cited. People need to understand something: the government is NOT interested in your welfare or prosperity unless you belong to a constituency whose votes the politicians want. The government CANNOT be trusted even if run by Republicans, but especially if the Democrats are in charge. Government is oppressive, intrusive and tyrannical, just as it was under Kings and Dictators. The only difference is that the kings and dictators are now Presidents and Prime Ministers.
Just saw the new DVD "Dreams
From My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception "
It shows exactly what this article does and they call it 'The Chicago Way'.
Everyone ought to see it.
Info Wars had the author on and it is a real eyeopener!

Great Post but one thing left out... remember the days when there were constant complaints about Christmas lights... talk of legislating the banning of them etc. Then suddenly our Christmas lights were coming from China and all quieted! May God forgive them. (sorry, I couldn't pass that one up).
