It’s a proven fact. Rock & roll music, when played backwards, reveals hidden Satanic lyrics. Famous evangelists, as seen on TV, have proven this. They have also ciphered the exact time of Armageddon by rearranging certain letters and words in the Bible. Need I remind you of Y2K? Okay, maybe that was Y3K.

Before you think I’m a right-wing nut who is tired of freezing his ass off in Michigan, I’d like to alert you to another hidden truth, this one a fiendish plot to take over the universe. It’s called the Kyoto Protocol. Because I have too much time on my hands (and okay, maybe I am a right-wing nut), I rearranged the letters of “A Kyoto Protocol” and came up with…

“Kooky Tarot Pool”

That’s Twilight Zone music you hear in the background. Yes, rearranged letters reveal that the Kyoto Protocol is as kooky as a pool of tarot readers. There are other similarities: both try to predict the impact the future, and more importantly, they are governed by the biggest cliché ever. That is, FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Kyoto’s flawed emission trading scheme allows polluting industries in Europe to purchase pollution permits on the cheap. The result is that emissions in Europe grew 1.1% last year. (link: bloggernews.net/114927) That doesn’t sound very green to me.

Meanwhile, U.S. emissions dropped by 1.3% (msnbc.msn.com/id/18831796).

When there’s mucho Euros involved, don’t believe the hype. Chances are if you dig around Kyoto long enough, you’ll find other hidden truths. It just might challenge your preconceptions. If it doesn’t, I’ve got some old LP’s I can sell you.
