I once believed Jay Inslee was sincere and would serve the public in good conscience.

Congressman Inslee has assured me that he has kept his sworn duty to “uphold our democratic ideals.” I mentioned this when asking him about constitutional representation in his district and he immediately blamed Bush. He assured us we had a 100 percent constitutional president in the White House now. President Barack Obama had been in office a few months at the time. But I was specifically inquiring about his oath to the constitution, not George W. Bush, not Obama. Inslee continues to use the line “upholding democratic ideals” in some of his formatted messages.

At the last Kingston town hall I asked him why the energy committee rejected scientific review reports and accepted only consensus review reports, the latter being vulnerable to distortions. His response was to praise consensus review reports for several minutes. As an afterthought he made mention of scientific review reports saying he would welcome them if they were presented to him.

His main source of information comes from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They use consensus review reports which are manipulated by omitting entire warming periods, deliberately altering the outcome. Hence, La Ogre’s hockey stick graft, for an example. Inslee assured us the consensus review reports were unanimous.

I was shocked when seeing him on C-SPAN treating Lord Christopher Monkton of Great Britain with open disdain even questioning his title, belittling him for not being a scientist and therefore having no credibility on the issue of climate change. He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying his use of rules for radicals. I learned my question from Monkton as he asked it while at the discussion with the energy committee.

So, we have a non-scientist, career politician demeaning a non-scientist, but expert on climate change, for having the audacity to be on the panel at all. Inslee is not a scientist but he wrote an entire book on it and is on that committee. His loyalty is to the UN and the IPCC, not district one. I avoid contacting him or either senator any more. They only vote our way, majority voice, if it was what they planned to do anyway, which is rare. The American citizen has been totally disenfranchised and unwillingly funding this betrayal to add insult. For the sake of our nation, our freedom, we must vote these international career politicians out of office.
