Saving Time With the MSM

The man has it perfectly right:

"What have they told us the truth about?" -- Wake the Flock Up

Answer: NOTHING!

"Climate Alarmists Finally Admit The Debate Is Not Over Top climate alarmists have conceded that the climategate scandal represents a huge blow to the global warming movement and that the debate is not over, and yet establishment media organs are still invoking South Park’s Officer Barbrady in downplaying the story despite the fact that it clearly illustrates how evidence which directly disproves global warming is being censored by agenda-driven scientists. The Guardian’s George Monbiot, a climate change zealot and a staunch defender of the faith, concedes that the science now needs “reanalyising” and that CRU Director Phil Jones should resign.

"Translation: "Let's spend another hundred million on a new film for Al Gore and try to re-sell this lemon one more time."

Folks, Climategate is not just about CRU. The damage-control limited-hangout strategy will to to confine the issue to CRU. The corporate media will whine and try to play victim and claim they were fooled along with the rest of us ... except that the blogs and alternative media were not fooled at all.

In order to believe that ABCNNBBCBS are innocent victims in all this, then you have to believe that gigantic TV networks with millions of dollars in budgets and staffs in the thousands, all failed to find the obvious signs of deception spotted by bloggers operating on spare change found under seat cushions.

That is simply beyond belief.

Far from being innocent parties, the TV networks were co-conspirators in the campaign to truck you into accepting more taxes, more control over your lives, and of course, the global government.

There is no need to "reanalyze" anything. That is just a dodge to delay the consequences of the public finding out the first analysis was a bunch of rubbish. And how can they reanalyze anything since CRU admitted destroying the raw data last August!

There is nothing to reanalyze. CRU lied to us all. The corporate media lied to us all. The US government lied to us all. The United Nations lied to us all. The proper course of action is to brand all these liars in public, not out of revenge, but to severely limit their ability to lie successfully to the public again." -- Wake the Flock Up

EXACTLY!!!!

To CONTINUE to believe a LIE is HARMFUL and DANGEROUS!!

Some of these assertions are motivated by prejudice, but more common is an intense strain of anti-government distrust and anger, colored by a streak of paranoia and belief in conspiracies.

Global Warming Meltdown

Yes, GOVERNMENTS and NEWSPAPERS LIE and OMIT!!!!!!!!!

"The devastating book which debunks climate change

Monday, Nov 23rd, 2009

For those of us “skeptics” and “deniers” who have been jumping up and down, pointing at the Sun, and saying, “See, it’s the Sun that determines how warm or cool the Earth is. See it? Up there in the sky?” The truth about some of the scientists behind the global warming hoax has finally arrived.

The hoax has its roots in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an instrument of the United Nations Environmental Program, for whom global warming was the open sesame to achieving a one-world-government by scaring nations into signing a treaty that would control their use of energy, the means of producing it, and require vast billions to be sent to less developed nations in exchange for “emitting” greenhouse gases.

Energy is called “the master resource” because, if you have lots of it, you can call your own shots. If you don’t, you are condemned to live in the dark and keeping people in the dark about the global warming hoax was essential.

For years the IPCC has been controlled by a handful of the worst liars in the world, utterly devoted to taking actual climate data and twisting it to confirm the assertion that the Earth was not only warming dramatically, but that humanity was in peril of rising oceans, melting glaciers and polar ice caps, more hurricanes, the die-off of countless animal species, and every other calamity that could possibly be attributed to “global warming”, including acne.

So, around November 20, when some enterprising individual hacked into the computers of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU), making off with thousands of emails and documents that demonstrate the level of collusion and deception being practiced by its scientists.

It’s a climate hoax expose that some are calling the revelations a “little blue dress” while others are comparing it to the Pentagon Papers. It has also been dubbed “climategate.”

As James Delingpole wrote in the Telegraph, one of England’s leading newspapers, “Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more” was revealed in the 61 megabites of confidential files released on the Internet for anyone to read....

"Climategate: how the MSM reported the greatest scandal in modern science

Here’s what the Times has had to say on the subject:

E-mails allegedly written by some of the world’s leading climate scientists have been stolen by hackers and published on websites run by climate change sceptics.

The sceptics claim that the e-mails are evidence that scientists manipulated data in order to strengthen their argument that human activities were causing global warming.

(Yep – definitely an improvement on their earlier, non-existent coverage; but not exactly pointing up the scandalousness of this scandal).

And the Independent:

(Yep. Nada).

And here’s how The New York Times (aka Pravda) reported it:

Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.

(Yep. That’s right. It has only apparently caused a stir among ’skeptics’. Everyone else can rest easy. Nothing to see here.)

And here’s how the Guardian has reported it:

Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world’s leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online, it emerged today.

The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, a world-renowned centre focused on the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change.

(Oh. I get it. It’s just a routine data-theft story, not a scandal. And a chance to remind us of the CRU’s integrity and respectability. And – see below – to get in a snarky, ‘let’s have a dig at the deniers’ quote from Greenpeace).

A spokesman for Greenpeace said: “If you looked through any organisation’s emails from the last 10 years you’d find something that would raise a few eyebrows. Contrary to what the sceptics claim, the Royal Society, the US National Academy of Sciences, Nasa and the world’s leading atmospheric scientists are not the agents of a clandestine global movement against the truth. This stuff might drive some web traffic, but so does David Icke.”

Here’s the Washington Post:

Hackers broke into the electronic files of one of the world’s foremost climate research centers this week and posted an array of e-mails in which prominent scientists engaged in a blunt discussion of global warming research and disparaged climate-change skeptics.

The skeptics have seized upon e-mails stolen from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Britain as evidence that scientific data have been rigged to make it appear as if humans are causing global warming. The researchers, however, say the e-mails have been taken out of context and merely reflect an honest exchange of ideas.

(Ah, so what the story is really about is ’skeptics’ causing trouble. Note how as high as the second par the researchers are allowed by the reporter to get in their insta-rebuttal, lest we get the impression that the scandal in any way reflects badly on them).

Here is the BBC:

E-mails reportedly from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU), including personal exchanges, appeared on the internet on Thursday.

A university spokesman confirmed the email system had been hacked and that information was taken and published without permission.

An investigation was underway and the police had been informed, he added.

(Ah yes, another routine data-theft story so dully reported – “the police had been informed, he added” – that you can’t even be bothered to reach the end to find out what information was stolen).

Meanwhile, the Climategate scandal (and I do apologise for calling it that, but that’s how the internet works: you need obvious, instantly memorable, event-specific search terms) continues to set the Blogosphere ablaze.

For links to all the latest updates on this, I recommend Marc Morano’s invaluable Climate Depot site.

And if you want to read those potentially incriminating emails in full, go to An Elegant Chaos org where they have all been posted in searchable form.

Like the Telegraph’s MPs’ expenses scandal, this is the gift that goes on giving. It won’t, unfortunately, derail Copenhagen (too many vested interests involved) or cause any of our many political parties to start talking sense on “Climate change”. But what it does demonstrate is the growing level of public scepticism towards Al Gore’s Anthropogenic Global Warming theory. That’s why, for example, this story is the single most read item on today’s Telegraph website.

What it also demonstrates – as my dear chum Dan Hannan so frequently and rightly argues – is the growing power of the Blogosphere and the decreasing relevance of the Mainstream Media (MSM).

This is not altogether the MSM’s fault. Partly it is just the way of things that more and more readers prefer their news and opinion served up in snappier, less reverent, more digestible and instant for.

But in the case of “Climate Change”, the MSM has been caught with its trousers down. The reason it has been so ill-equipped to report on this scandal is because almost all of its Environmental Correspondents and Environmental Editors are parti pris members of the Climate-Fear Promotion lobby. Most of their contacts (and information sources) work for biased lobby groups like Greenpeace and the WWF, or conspicuously pro-AGW government departments and Quangos such as the Carbon Trust. How can they bring themselves to report on skullduggery at Hadley Centre when the scientists involved are the very ones whose work they have done most to champion and whose pro-AGW views they share?

As Upton Sinclair once said:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.”

So don’t expect this scandal to be written up in the MSM any time soon. But why would you want to anyway? It’s all here, where the free spirits and independent thinkers are, on the Blogosphere.

World's largest ice sheet melting faster than expected

The East Antarctic ice sheet, which makes up three-quarters of the continent's 14,000 sq km, is losing around 57bn tonnes of ice a year into surrounding waters, according to a satellite survey of the region. Earlier in the year it was reported that the the South Pole had shown “significant cooling in recent decades” and ice core drilling in East Antarctica showed that last year, the ice had a maximum thickness of 1.89m, its densest in 10 years.

Climate Emails Stoke Debate

"This is horrible," said Pat Michaels, a climate scientist at the Cato Institute in Washington who is mentioned negatively in the emails. "This is what everyone feared. Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for anyone who does not view global warming as an end-of-the-world issue to publish papers. This isn't questionable practice, this is unethical."

Even mainstream journalists, who are usually on board with the latest environmental craze, have commented on this blatant display of hypocrisy. It seems like those participating – possibly the best example being Al Gore — are not even aware of how it looks to the rest of us."

"Uh Oh, Leading Climate Scientists Caught In Global Fudging Fraud

Corruption is apparently not confined to Wall Street or Washington, as hacked emails show it exists at the core of climate change science. The correlative factor is money, in this case research grants, science foundation funding, peer review -- not to mention trillions at stake in the global business of global warming. Should make for an interesting time in Copenhagen in December.

Whether or not the MSM chooses to pay attention, this is the biggest story of scientific fraud in modern times. Dr. Phil Jones is probably not having a good day as he and his colleagues have now been accused of the following:

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

But perhaps the most damaging revelations – the scientific equivalent of the Telegraph’s MPs’ expenses scandal – are those concerning the way Warmist scientists may variously have manipulated or suppressed evidence and defied FOIA orders in order to support their cause.

"Scientific scandal appears to rock climate change promoters

There's big news for climate change students. A hacker has gotten into the computers at Hadley CRU, Britain's largest climate research institute and a proponent of global warming, and seems to have uncovered evidence of substantial fraud in reporting the "evidence" on global warming; the unlawful destruction of records to cover up this fraud ,conspiracy,and deceit in the entire operation. [update - see also The Evidence of Climate Fraud, CRU Files Betray Climate Alarmists' Funding Hypocrisy, Warming's 'Pentagon Papers' continues to unravel the fraud.]

While hacking into the institute's records is inappropriate if not illegal, the activities disclosed appear illegal and damaging to science and the economies of the world. At first many of us were inclined to dismiss the posted emails from the Institute as fraud, but the head of the institute admits the records were hacked and the emails seem genuine."

"
Skeptics claim stolen emails prove global warming a hoax

Although arguments continue as to how much of recent climate change is natural and how much is man-made, only a few diehard skeptics doubt that the warming of the last few decades is real. Now, however, those skeptics can barely contain their glee at the release of a cache of stolen emails that they believe prove global warming is nothing but a colossal hoax.

"If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW," one of these skeptics blogged on Friday. "The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. ... This scandal could well be 'the greatest in modern science'."

UPDATES:

Global Warming On Trial: Inhofe Calls For Investigation Of UN IPCC In response to the astounding revelations arising out of the hacked CRU emails, Senator Jim Inhofe has stated that unless something is done within the next seven days, he will lead the call for a rigorous investigation into mounting evidence that top climate scientists conspired to manipulate data to hide evidence of global cooling while engaging in academic witch hunts to eliminate scientists skeptical of man-made climate change.

Climategate: Man-made Global Warming Fraudsters Exposed Thanks to a fortunate turn of events, hackers have retrieved secretive IPCC emails discussing the manipulation of data to support the man-made global warming fraud and how the scientists advocating this hoax have been working to silence their peers that don’t support the lie. Hopefully, this information has come out just in time to keep President Obama from signing the climate treaty in Copenhagen that will obligate us to pay the bulk of the global carbon tax, a tax not meant to fight climate change, but to finance a tyrannical world government.

Call For Independent Inquiry Into Climategate as Global Warming Fraud Implodes Calls for an independent inquiry into what is being dubbed “Climategate” are growing as the foundation for man-made global warming implodes following the release of emails which prove researchers colluded to manipulate data in order to “hide the decline” in global temperatures.

"Climategate": Peer-Review System Was Hijacked By Warming Alarmists One of the most striking revelations to immediately emerge from the "climategate" scandal has been references to efforts by scientists espousing the human-caused warming theory to exclude contrary viewpoints from important scientific publications.

Corporate Media regroups; declares Climategate a non-issue Revelation of a series of embarrassing e-mails by climate scientists provides fodder for critics, but experts believe the issue will not hurt the U.S. climate bill's chance for passage or efforts to forge a global climate change deal.

Viscount Monckton on Climategate: ‘They Are Criminals’

This is what they did — these climate “scientists” on whose unsupported word the world’s classe politique proposes to set up an unelected global government this December in Copenhagen, with vast and unprecedented powers to control all formerly free markets, to tax wealthy nations and all of their financial transactions, to regulate the economic and environmental affairs of all nations, and to confiscate and extinguish all patent and intellectual property rights.

The tiny, close-knit clique of climate scientists who invented and now drive the “global warming” fraud — for fraud is what we now know it to be — tampered with temperature data so assiduously that, on the recent admission of one of them, land temperatures since 1980 have risen twice as fast as ocean temperatures. One of the thousands of emails recently circulated by a whistleblower at the University of East Anglia, where one of the world’s four global-temperature datasets is compiled, reveals that data were altered so as to prevent a recent decline in temperature from showing in the record. In fact, there has been no statistically significant “global warming” for 15 years — and there has been rapid and significant cooling for nine years.

Worse, these arrogant fraudsters — for fraudsters are what we now know them to be — have refused, for years and years and years, to reveal their data and their computer program listings. Now we know why: As a revealing 15,000-line document from the computer division at the Climate Research Unit shows, the programs and data are a hopeless, tangled mess. In effect, the global temperature trends have simply been made up. Unfortunately, the British researchers have been acting closely in league with their U.S. counterparts who compile the other terrestrial temperature dataset — the GISS/NCDC dataset. That dataset too contains numerous biases intended artificially to inflate the natural warming of the 20th century.

Finally, these huckstering snake-oil salesmen and “global warming” profiteers — for that is what they are — have written to each other encouraging the destruction of data that had been lawfully requested under the Freedom of Information Act in the UK by scientists who wanted to check whether their global temperature record had been properly compiled. And that procurement of data destruction, as they are about to find out to their cost, is a criminal offense. They are not merely bad scientists — they are crooks. And crooks who have perpetrated their crimes at the expense of British and U.S. taxpayers.

I am angry, and so should you be.

What have the mainstream news media said about the Climategate affair? Remarkably little. The few who have brought themselves to comment, through gritted teeth, have said that all of this is a storm in a teacup, and that their friends in the University of East Anglia and elsewhere in the climatological community are good people, really.

No, they’re not. They’re criminals. With Professor Fred Singer, who founded the U.S. Satellite Weather Service, I have reported them to the UK’s Information Commissioner, with a request that he investigate their offenses and, if thought fit, prosecute. But I won’t be holding my breath: In the police state that Britain has now sadly become, with supine news media largely owned and controlled by the government, the establishment tends to look after its own.

At our expense, and at the expense of the truth.

It Gets Deeper Every Day

"Yes, America, The Caca Grows Deeper Everyday!

By Karl Schwarz
11-21-9

I occasionally get asked how many essays I have written. Frankly, I have not kept count and do not know.


What I do know for certain is that I am watching something that I never believed I would see in my lifetime. I am watching the collapse of my nation and my homeland. It is sort of akin to watching the Titanic sink, live, and no one can stop it from happening.


A reader stumbled across an email essay I did almost three years ago. He said it took a while to find a current email address for me, since I am no longer in the US.


The man asked a simple question: "Interesting observations. Do you still think the US is in deep caca?"


http://www.rense.com/general75/little.htm


My answer was simple: "Yes, it has been getting deeper every day since I wrote that essay and will continue to get deeper. Just look around you. Even before the housing bubble, even before the capital markets fraud and Madoff Ponzi Schemes, even before the endless promises to end the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, and even before the bailout of the Wall Street liars and thieves, it just keeps getting worse and accelerating. The lies keep getting more brazen and egregious. The actions are collectively worse each time this wantonly corrupt leadership pretends to lead.


A mother in San Antonio slaughters a baby and eats its brain, while a friend kills a New Jersey mother of three and cuts the fourth child from her womb so she could be a welfare mom the easy way. While yet another North Carolina monster pimps out her five-year-old daughter, now dead at the hands of a predator pedophile. Oops, we are not supposed to say that anymore because it is a hate crime to call a despicable spade a spade in America now. They are now an ADL Zionist protected species, too.


If you look close enough, note the homeless, the tent cities, the starving, underfed, and bankrupted, due to the callousness of what Americans call their leadership in Washington, DC. These morons in DC cannot lead hungry wolves to meat. They have convinced me that they cannot count their balls three times and come up with the correct answer twice. They excel in pork, pigs and running the greasy, sleazy DC Hog Trough Diner. There is nothing in DC to emulate or hold up high as if there were any greatness in the midst of their incompetence.


Look real close at the treatment of US veterans, and next time you get choked up on Veteran's Day make sure it is because of the abuse and neglect our soldiers have been put through, based on political lies. Many families are ruined, many are dead and maimed, still, and all in our name. No war based on a lie is winnable.


If you look close enough, note the growing structural unemployment, the rising crime rate and sales of guns and ammunition and trillions blown on wars that were created from mere lies. Take a real close look at the very fabric and seams of America coming undone, still.


Christian nation? Far from it! Home of the Brave, Land of the Free? Far from it! On some moral high-ground worthy of world leadership as an example? Far from it! Only in America do the pulpits salivate with a blood-thirst over 'kill, kill, kill' in a foreign land yet whine about crime at home. I


If you look close enough, you will even see the Statue of Liberty is crying."


End response.


The American Empire is collapsing and in a vain attempt to stop that our leadership has bankrupted America. The American economy is a carnival hall of smoke and mirrors. The economic engine has blown up and all of the 'robust' and 'green shoots' are idle words for numb-minded people hoping they can go back to shopping soon or maybe afford to turn their cable TV back on. That is if they have a home still to live in.


Most of the States are bankrupt. Mortgage foreclosures are now hitting a much wider segment of US society, including many people who have good paying jobs but are now being hit with mortgage rate resets. There is no stimulus in sight to create real jobs for real average American people. The economy at the local level has been left to tread water on its own as the wealthy elite and liars on Wall Street have been bailed out and huge bonuses lavished upon thugs with taxpayer dollars. Trillions of dollars of American citizen net worth has been wiped out, as well as the retirement security for tens of millions of Americans. The Dark Ages have just begun for America and it was all avoidable.


The horror of 9-11 was to launch a war in Afghanistan over a pipeline so the US could attempt to remain number one in all things. They lost most of the Caspian Basin oil and gas being too busy covering up their lies. The pipeline is now pretty much useless as they originally planned in surreptitious ways to steal for over 30 years.


They have yet to admit the oil and natural gas they covet in Afghanistan and Baluchistan province of Pakistan, right next to Iran and where the IPI is to be built. The IPI is the Iran-Pakistan-India Pipeline so now they make war to steal that, too. The greedy US thugs salivate at the thought of controlling all of that oil headed to India. This is geopolitics, at its worst.


Just about everyone in the world knows Bush and Blair lied to justify the attack on Iraq, except Americans. The rest of the world has fairly begun to ask just how stupid can Americans be that they do not understand what the word 'lie' means?


In a very recent year, the year of the huge Wall Street scandals, 46% of US GDP was financial services. That creates few jobs, it lines just the right elitist pockets. When a large percentage of those 'financial services' was premeditated fraud running into the trillions of US dollars, Americans should not have to wonder at all why the rest of the world has grown to have such an utter contempt for America and certain brazenly greedy Americans. A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon they'll be talking about serious money, and serious stupidity in Washington, DC.


History will record how a gutless, wantonly corrupt Congress and immoral leadership in the White House killed a great nation that strayed from its lofty ideals.


Now they want to bribe the Taliban since the past 8 years have proven that the US cannot win being the war criminal it prefers to be. The US lied, many have died and the Afghans never forget. No empire has ever conquered the Afghans, not Alexander the Great, not Genghis Kahn, not the British in four tries, not the Russians, nor will the Americans and NATO. Most empires with three functioning brain cells have learned over a thousand years never tread on an Afghan. Sooner or later, they will kill you.


The Japanese have a saying: 'They say if you have to resort to violence, then you've already lost.' That is where the US failed. It launched a war of greed based on lies.


I have watched this fiasco closely since 1991 and saw it coming. Pens and contracts have absolutely, thoroughly and resoundingly defeated the grand schemes Washington DC and Wall Street had to rule the world, if they could just get control of all of that oil and natural gas.


They did not want to share with anyone. In typical elitists, arrogant fashion they devised a scheme to line just the right pockets.


This was in a magazine the day before September 11, 2001:


"September 10, 2001: "Those who control the oil routes out of Central Asia will impact all future direction and quantities of flow and the distribution of revenues from new production," wrote energy expert James Dorian in Oil & Gas"


That and many other provable facts were what I presented at "Confronting the Evidence, a Call to Re-open the 9-11 Investigation". That was on September 11, 2004, and still most Americans sit on their ass oblivious to the facts and the truth.


Why do they hate us? Because we Americans deserve it and it has not one damned thing to do with our freedoms. They hate the freedom our idiots in DC think they are entitled put forth to lie, kill, maim and steal, all based on premeditated lies steeped in copious amounts of greed, lies and bullshit.


The Global War on Terror was a complete fabrication and a veil to conceal their brazen greed to literally steal oil and natural gas and pipeline right-of-ways from weaker, poorer nations.


We lost because the game plan was wrong from the day they dreamed it up. That happened between 1990 to 1996, and why I walked out on the RNC. The precursor to PNAC was named National Policy Forum and the RNC was forced to close it down due to it being illegally funded. I was there people, the National Policy Forum. I told them they were complete lunatics to think a bogus war based on a new 'terrorist' boogeyman was the route to go. Try commercial contracts rather than shock & awe and outright damned lies.


Time and history have proven me right.


There is only one hope for America and that is to clean out Washington, DC wall-to-wall, every office, and get some people in there to clean up the damned mess these RNC, DNC and bureaucratic morons have made of America.


AIPAC, out!, Lobbyists of every sort, fashion and special interest, out! The nitwits the pollute every level of our government and the policy making machinery, out!


We have devolved from being the shining light of freedom, liberty and democracy to the laughing stock of the world.


Yes, the caca is deep and getting deeper every day. America is on the road to total collapse.

Lead, Mr. President!

"Obama Must Toss The Bums In Treasury, End The Wars, And Start Being A Leader

By Dave Lindorff

11-20-9

If you are sitting in class taking a test, and you've chosen to sit amongst your bone-headed, slacker friends, don't turn to them for help when you can't figure out of any of the answers. They may all tell you the same thing, but they'll all be wrong.


That's the situation President Obama finds himself in today in the White House. Having surrounded himself with the very Wall Street con men who set up the crooked game that led to the current financial crisis and economic collapse, and finding that the lousy advice they have been giving him since last January has left the country still mired in deepening economic decline, with the banks still not lending and unemployment still mounting, and with growing signs that instead of bottoming out and starting to recover, the economy is threatening to fall a second time, to new lows and higher unemployment, Obama has turned to the same rotten advisors for answers.


A few days ago, in an interview with Fox-TV while he was in China off all places (a country that has made a stupendous stimulus investment to create domestic jobs!) Obama warned, for the first time, that America faces the possibility of a "double-dip" recession. That's fine as far as it goes. I agree. But what did he say the risk was? Not that the government has been failing to put significant numbers of people back to work, but that the government keeps piling up deficits.


This has to be the lamest economic thinking since Herbert Hoover started tightening the screws on government spending at the onset of the Great Depression in 1930.


Clearly the American government needs to do just the opposite of worrying about deficits. The only growth the US economy has seen to date has been the result of government funding-the cash-for-clunkers program gave a brief restoration of pulse to the auto industry, and the $8000 tax credit for buying a first home kicked up home sales briefly. We know this because when the clunkers program ended, auto sales crashed, and when the deadline approached for the end to the new home tax credit, home building plunged almost 11%. The hundreds of billions of dollars poured into so-called "shovel-ready" state and local projects like roads, schools, etc., may have added or saved as much as a million jobs, but the economy lost many times that many jobs over the same period.


The problem with these stimulus programs is that they are inefficient ways to create jobs or preserve jobs. If roughly one million jobs were created through the stimulus spending of say $200 billion (assuming that the February $800-billion stimulus program, to mollify Republicans, consisted of one-half tax cuts and only one-half actual federal spending, and that this federal spending was spread evenly over a two-year period, that's $200,000 per job!


If, instead, Obama had chucked the dunces at Treasury and in his Council of Economic Advisors, and instead asked your Labor Secretary to initiate a wide-ranging $200-billion-per-year jobs program, hiring the unemployed at perhaps $20-25,000 per person to do everything from teach in overcrowded urban schools to laying high-speed rail trackbeds, from cleaning up parks to putting insulation in homes, he could have given jobs to close 8 million people-people who would have then spent their money on goods and services and helped rally the economy from the bottom up.


Deficits? Who gives a damn about deficits at this point! The country is up to the gills in debt without creating any jobs. (It's kind of like my mortgage. Why would I worry about using my credit card to buy food for the week if I was low on cash, when my mortgage has me deep in the red for the next ten years? Obama's financial advisors, on the evidence, would tell me I should let my family go hungry, because I need to worry about my total debt load.) If you're worried about deficits, Mr. Obama, end the god-damned wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is costing one million dollars a year to send one lousy grunt to Afghanistan or Iraq. And you want to have at least 100,000 guys over there. That's $100 billion a year right there-enough to hire four million unemployed Americans back here at home!


This president is well on the way to rescuing President Hoover from history's crap heap by one-upping him in the realm of economic mismanagement. We already have Obamavilles springing up around the country. We haven't started calling them that, but Naming Day isn't far off.


At least Hoover didn't mire the country in another war while the economy was collapsing around him.


President Obama is on a short leash at this point. His fans, and I was one of those who was willing to give him a shot last November,
are mostly giving up on him. Activists are already turning on him. My union friends are disgusted. My African-American friends just shake their heads in dismay. Liberal friends act embarrassed. A leftist friend, retired, who devoted a month to campaigning for Obama full time in Pennsylvania last fall now writes angry letters almost weekly to Obama's former campaign manager David Plouffe and others, blasting Obama's handling of the bank crisis and his Afghan War plans. Clearly Obama cannot continue to appease Republicans and cater to Blue Dogs in Congress and expect to be re-elected in 2012.

Indeed, if he doesn't toss the crooks and charlatans in the Fed, the Treasury and his Council of Economic Advisers out, and doesn't stop listening to the self-serving crazies in the military, he won't even have a Democratic majority in Congress by the end of next year.


President Obama, aren't you tired of being an embarrassment to your friends and family? Aren't you tired of being mocked by your foes?


Come on. We're sick of your speeches! Suck it up, be a leader.finally and kick some butt. Do something unconventional and daring. End the wars, bring the troops home, announce a huge jobs program, issue an executive order expanding the Medicare program, raise taxes on the wealthy to back where they were in the 1960s, and let's get the country moving forward again.

More Than I Wanted to Know

"The Hour of Judgment and the Hour of Need

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

One of the best articles to be written in recent times is this nifty piece of work here. After reading it yesterday, I started getting it in the mail from others. In most cases it is stunning in its clarity with the exception of Item 2, which treats with the environment. I note that it didn’t get by many of the readers. I also noted the presence of an emergent anger that has been showing up in many places of late, including the redoubtable, Smoking Mirrors (grin).

I don’t really know what to thing about the intricacies of global warming/climate change. I do know that the people pushing it are out to make money off of it. I also noted Al Gore getting on to a private jet recently. I remember the article about how much energy his house consumed.

My understanding of what’s going on has come a long way in twenty years. I actually voted for Clinton/Gore and I remember the atmosphere of the country was much different at that time than it was under Reagan/Bush and afterwards under Bush/Cheney. My world view has definitely changed. My awareness of what is going on behind the scenes, what little I can intuit, has also changed. The first mailed fist of awakening that hit me, in respect of all of this, was when I saw Clinton and Bush Sr. chumming around. By degrees, the veils lifted from my eyes. It’s been a gradual thing that increased in speed as it went.

There were so many things that I did not know about Israel. Now I know more than I want to. The manhole covers that have concealed the subterranean stench of so many years have been lifted and it is noxious beyond endurance. When I peer down into the darkness, I can see some large numbers of red eyes glowing below and I realize that things live and feed down there. They breed down there. A Khazarian orgy of hatred, for all living things, is squelching and felching like flesh-eating zombie frogs, copulating in toxic Jell-O.

When I look at Obama; Hillary Clinton, Geithner, Bernake and most of the world’s leadership; the movers and shakers, the front guys and the puppeteers and elves, I don’t see human beings any more. I see reptile aliens moving under the elastic, plastic human simu-skin. I see what may well once have been human but which is now mutating automatons who march to radio signals from dark dimensions. If you told me that all these thousands of children, which keep disappearing and don’t reappear, are actually the preferred veal for these creatures of the pit, I would not be surprised at all. Anything I might be told about these people (who are not people) would not surprise me. I have already seen sufficient evidence of what they are.

The gap between the rapacious rich and the desperately poor, along with the disappearing middle class is a new kind of obscenity..... HERE

Why War is Inevitable

"Why War is Inevitable – John Kaminski

It always struck me as odd that just before all wars start, the people who have been asked to wage these wars say they don’t want to fight, and insist they want peace. And as a result, all the politicians say they’re for peace, and would never get us into war, especially one in which we had no obvious stake. Then the wars start.

Just before World War I, Woodrow Wilson was the peace candidate, but later lit the fuse that killed 25 million people. Franklin Roosevelt said he’d keep us out of war just before he was elected to a third term, and history has long ago revealed how he engineered Pearl Harbor to get us into WW II, which killed 57 million.

Just before World War I, the sentiment in America was decidedly pro-German, and more the half of all the immigrants coming to this developing land WERE German. Nobody wanted to get involved in a European war. But the media, owned by the same people who were making the weapons, convinced us, apparently, by suddenly and savagely telling hair-raising false stories about the Germans.

This is the great fact Americans continue to ignore. Instead of understanding that bankers create the wars, we prefer to believe the prejudicial hate speak that emanates from American media that our enemies are “krauts,” “gooks,” and “ragheads,” without remembering, as the great suppressed writers have told us, that the folks who control the money also control everything else.

Slowly, we are learning that our real enemies are really the misanthropes making those statements, the bigwigs who control the flow of real wealth with imaginary rules that are nothing but blatant crime schemes. We are learning that these anti-human billionaires — whose income is derived entirely from legalized crime — are the true enemies of all civilized people.

And worse, we are learning that our leaders are owned by these people, these billionaires, who run the world anonymously from behind the scenes, and use puppets like Obama, Putin, Castro and Chavez to convince the gullible goyim that there are actually competing political philosophies in the world, when in fact there are not.

There are only apparent opponents, like Republicans and Democrats. Ultimately they work for the same owners.

This is something you did not learn in school, grotesquely infected as they are by Jewish influence.

The key to virtually all our present problems in societies throughout the world can be traced to this single paragraph, because it explains the scam that precious few people have realized is the root cause of every war in the last 200 years. It’s about the conditions that created World War I, and it reads like this:

“The European nations were already bankrupt, because they had maintained large standing armies for almost fifty years, a situation created by their own central banks, and therefore could not finance a war. A central bank always imposes a tremendous burden on the nation for “rearmament” and “defense”, in order to create inextinguishable debt, simultaneously creating a military dictatorship and enslaving the people to pay the “interest” on the debt which the bankers have artificially created.”

— Eustace Mullins, Secrets of the Federal Reserve, 1951, p. 21

Please understand what Mullins is saying. It is the first step toward achieving an actual, stable, perpetual peace in the world.

The European nations were bankrupt BECAUSE they maintained large standing armies, which was mandated by the central banks as a condition for their graciously coordinating that nation’s finances. Of course, the basic premise was a scam, because it removed people’s power to coin their own money, and imprisoned it in the hands of a few bankers. A very few. The Rothschild family. And later to include a handful of now “prestigious” Jewish names: Schiff, Warburg, Untermyer, Bronfman, etc.

The central banks, since the time of the American Revolution, were all coordinated by the Rothschilds, who captured England. The rest of the white nations of the world fell like so many dominos in the famous Communist theory.

The combination of money and media is irresistible. An entire history has been fabricated, and the majority of the world has believed it.

Sure, nations have always fought each other, and most of the time for the same reasons. But since then the Rothschilds, starting with the capture of the Bank of England in 1815 and accelerating with the worldwide Jewish revolution of 1848, have actually funded BOTH sides in every war ever since.

It’s the fastest way to make money, big money.

Mullins’ paragraph from Secrets of the Federal Reserve reveals that the very existence of a standing army guarantees that any nation will go bankrupt simply trying to maintain that army, and the only way that army will ever make a profit (and make that nation “prosperous”) is to go to war and steal something big from somebody else (plus, get the benefits of their treasonous perfidy from the bankers who wanted them to go to war in the first place).

There we have a perfect picture of world history over the last 200 years. And we are still completely ensnared in the mindless madness we have come to know as ‘the way the world works.’

The thing to realize is the world only works that way because shrewd and wealthy bankers have finetuned a system that guarantees the fantastic profits that come with war by pulling the wool over the minds of the sheeple, who simply can’t understand that they are slaves working for criminal genius masterminds who control virtually every aspect of everyone’s lives.

But from Eustace Mullins we now know that the maintenance of a standing army GUARANTEES war, because NOT to go to war means that nation will go bankrupt.

This formula would never work without the complicity of the media, and our educators. Fortunately for them (but not us), after more than a century of Jewish subversion of our educational and media systems, it should come as no surprise to anyone that they can make you believe anything they want you to believe. Just look at the history of the 20th century.

Whom have we been taught was the most heinous villain of the 20th century? And who is the only leader in world history who has gone after the Jews openly and by name? In this gap of thought lies your as-yet undiscovered political education.

As a friend tells it …

Hitler came to power in Germany with two main aims, the rectification of the unjust provisions of the Versailles Treaty, and the destruction of the Soviet/Communist threat to Germany. Strangely enough, contrary to the mythology created by those who had an opposing ethnic agenda, he had no plans or desire for a larger war of conquest.

Professor AJP Taylor showed this in his book The Origins of the Second World War, to the disappointment of the professional western political establishment. Taylor says, “The state of German armament in 1939 gives the decisive proof that Hitler was not contemplating general war, and probably not intending war at all” (p.267), and “Even in 1939 the German army was not equipped for a prolonged war; and in 1940 the German land forces were inferior to the French in everything except leadership” (p104-5).

Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other way around. Hitler wanted peace with Britain, as the German generals admitted (Basil Liddell Hart, The Other Side of the Hill 1948, Pan Books 1983) with regard to the so-called Halt Order at Dunkirk, where Hitler had the opportunity to capture the entire British Army, but chose not to. Liddell Hart, one of Britain’s most respected military historians, quotes the German General von Blumentritt with regard to this Halt Order:

“He (Hitler) then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire, of the necessity for its existence, and of the civilisation that Britain had brought into the world. He remarked, with a shrug of the shoulders, that the creation of its Empire had been achieved by means that were often harsh, but ‘where there is planing, there are shavings flying’.

He compared the British Empire with the Catholic Church – saying they were both essential elements of stability in the world. He said that all he wanted from Britain was that she should acknowledge Germany’s position on the Continent. The return of Germany’s colonies would be desirable but not essential, and he would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in difficulties anywhere..” (p 200).

According to Liddell Hart, “At the time we believed that the repulse of the Luftwaffe in the ‘Battle over Britain’ had saved her. That is only part of the explanation, the last part of it. The original cause, which goes much deeper, is that Hitler did not want to conquer England. He took little interest in the invasion preparations, and for weeks did nothing to spur them on; then, after a brief impulse to invade, he veered around again and suspended the preparations. He was preparing, instead, to invade Russia” (p140).

David Irving in the foreword to his book The Warpath (1978) refers to “the discovery.. that at no time did this man (Hitler) pose or intend a real threat to Britain or the Empire.”

This gives a completely different complexion, not only to the war, but to the successful suppression of this information during the war and afterwards.

Historians today know only too well where the boundaries lie within which they can paint their pictures of the war and its aftermath, and the consequences of venturing beyond those boundaries, irrespective of the evidence. Unfortunately, only too few of them have been prepared to have the courage to break out of this dreadful straitjacket of official and unofficial censorship.

(end of citation)

Fortunately for us, Eustace Mullins was one of the few and possibly the greatest to ever escape this straitjacket, thanks to the initial guidance of the persecuted poetic genius Ezra Pound. If America is ever going to be anything like some of us had hoped it would be, this is the tangent of history that needs to be pursued and understood, instead of the constantly changing lies of never-truthful Jewish media.

George Bush is Still President

I really can't tell you the dejection I felt when I read the quoted words.

“I don’t want to be making decisions based on getting reelected, because I think the challenges that America faces right now are so significant . . . If I feel like I’ve made the very best decisions for the American people and three years from now I look at it and, you know, my poll numbers are in the tank and . . . politically, I’m in a tough spot, I’ll feel all right about myself.’’

Who does that sound like, huh?

AmeriKa Entering the Red Zone

"Warning! We're in the false-flag red zone for 911-2B

As "9/11 conspiracy theorists" go I'm not much of an alarmist, but I do think that we are in the red zone right now for another potential 9/11 style false-flag event. Here's why.

Israel and its allegedly American cheerleaders are desperate to attack Iran ASAP, while Pentagon hawks are yearning to escalate the war in Afghanistan. In other words, the folks who brought us 9/11 and the 9/11 wars want a momentous escalation of those wars. And they want it NOW.

But the American people aren't on board. Polls show that the war on Afghanistan is more unpopular than ever. And the level of destruction unleashed by a Zio-American attack on Iran would make our current economic chaos look like the Golden Age.

To get people to accept this kind of massive escalation, another major false-flag event demonizing Muslims, and thereby legitimizing escalations against the Taliban and the Islamic Republic of Iran, may be in the works.

The Ft. Hood probable false-flag attack (see Jerry Mazza's article) seems to have been timed to coincide with the decision to try (the individual claimed to be) Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 patsy-in-chief. All of this appears to have been orchestrated to evoke memories of 9/11 and reinforce the official story--a necessary preliminary to any 911-2B. In other words, they may be softening us up for something big.

Remember folks, what we're dealing with here is a war on Islam and Muslims launched and sustained by a whole series of false-flag events, not just 9/11-anthrax but also the attacks on Bali, Madrid, London, Mumbai, and now (apparently) Ft. Hood. There is no reason to think these people are going to stop any time soon....

Not Liking the Love Story

I saw it last night at the local echo chamber, I mean movie house. I thought I would share some thoughts. I didn't take any notes or anything, so the impressions are off the cuff and I may not remember everything. As expected, it did not top Sicko; however, I was surprised that it really came nowhere near it.

I guess Moore got off on the wrong foot with me when he described the '50s in such glowing fashion as the CIA was running amok in the world. He failed to draw the parallel of western corporate exploitation in the Third-World for resources that led to many western riches, although at least back then we had an industrial and resource base here in America. That is gone now. What America is going through -- engineered and designed by the same people in charge of "fixing" the problem -- is what it has inflicted upon so many nations. AmeriKa is being turned into a low-wage nation making products for export. There is no growth here now -- in fact, the contractions continue.

One glaring omission was that he never went near the Fed (as well as Ron Paul's invisibility). In fact, Moore seemed to be advocating for more taxes and government control and that disturbed me. There was never a inkling that the income tax is illegal and how working people would keep much more of their money! Mike never strayed into the Constitution and the Congress' right, nay, obligation, nay, DUTY to REGULATE COIN -- particularly as the PRIVATE banks that MAKE LOANS to government charge USURIOUS INTEREST RATES to ALL! I guess the idea that government in AmeriKa these days is somehow looking out for the good of the people after all the looting and lies is no longer valid for me. I believed once, Mike, but that was a long time ago.

I'm not going to criticize the cookie-cutter quality of the film (Moore's documentary style and template is repetitive), and it did have its moments. Airline pilots on food stamps? A McDonald's manager making more than a pilot? Companies cleaning up on dead worker insurance policies? Some of the inane blather coming from a Congress on the take? The flashback to a year ago? All got me to sit up in my chair and irately bang the armrest. The images of so many boarded-up houses was a stark reminder of the reality out there. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the more outrageous corruptions, but not because I thought they were funny.

I wish Moore had delved into the crucial role of debt more. The airline pilots and others mentioned the crippling school loans (WTF is with that, anyway?), but more never traveled down the road of public debt and how taxpayers are being taken to the cleaners by state governments that got involved in all the credit-default swaps and derivatives. Actually, I thought he muddled the whole thing by trying to get Wall Street gasbags to explain it. Think of them as a turd cut into pieces and then sold as filet mignon. You see who garnered the fees. It is no wonder they are doing so well! His failure to explore the dollar's declining value also troubled me, as it is a direct result of the debt-strapping stimulus and Fed's flooding of dollars into the economy.

But when a fine lady like Marcy Kaptur is trotted out -- as well meaning as she is, and as correct as she is about a "financial coup" -- my heart kind of sunk. It was the same feeling I had when I found out other bad news about another well-meaning lady (as well as alleged "antiwar" congressman). In fact, the focus on the politicians -- while correct since they are forsaking their oath and public duty -- was a bit diversionary. As we see every day, they rage, they rail (like someone else I know), but in the end nothing has been done, nothing will be done. Politicians talk good for the cameras, but they are holding hands with the banksters behind closed doors. Heck, he didn't even get near the intentional engineering of the crisis on Bush's part.

His conclusion that the antidote to capitalism -- as he defined it -- is democracy perplexed me. Democracy is a political system, and has had NO EFFECT on what he is talking about. If it had, the first bailout never would have passed! I was part of those who called, Mike, and not just my own district! And I don't think AmeriKa is even a democracy (never was, it's a Republic); more like a fascist state now -- the blending of corporate and state interests.

Now maybe he was advocating for a capitalist democracy (seemed that way when he favorably advocated for Germany's unions) or he's for democratic socialism (he did bring up the fraud Bernie Sanders); however, neither of those address the private banking control of the economy. We don't really need another system, as much as we need the one we have to be enforced -- and that means an end to the Fed!

Many other reviewers have noted the lack of references to the Zionist Jewish influence and control over the banking sector, and I noticed as well. It did not surprise me because as the opening credits were rolling I noticed that the movie was backed by the Weinstein Group. That also explains the limited hangout on 9/11.

Look, Moore seems like a well-meaning guy who cares; however, he is not helping by telling half-truths or covering up deeper ones. Of course, if he were to venture into those places his movies would stop getting picked up by (Jewish) distribution networks of the (Zionist) American MSM.

This review in no way impacts the tremendous job he did on "Sicko." That is his masterpiece, and Moore should be proud of that work. Too bad I don't trust this government to deliver what others do.

Rocker's First Advertisement

It was unavoidable. There is no job (save for this frustration) and no income. I had no choice. I'm not expecting big money or anything; to just get by would be enough for me.

So here it is, readers. You can decide for yourself whether you like the products or services.

You will now "interpret it, that's your right, but as I leave you, I want you to know, think how much you are going to missing. You won't have [Rocker] to kick around

Oh, I'm sorry, do I sound bitter, too?

"Defense Industry a Win-Win for Engineers

Jobs in sector prove recession-proof


The best defense against layoffs? For job-seeking engineers, it just might be employment in the defense industry itself. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) continues to roll out hefty contracts, despite a deepening recession, drawdown of forces in Iraq, and uncertain war strategies in Afghanistan. On Tuesday, for example, it announced more than $407 million in commitments to U.S. companies for electro-optical sensors, audio-frequency amplifiers, maintenance services, and construction work -- and that was a single day alone.

And I got a HISTORY DEGREE!!!


Defense, in fact, is one of the largest employers of skilled engineers in the world; in the U.S., the Bureau of Labor Statistics's estimates a defense labor force of more than three million people. Defense-related spending accounts for 4.6 percent of the Bay State's economy, with top defense contractors including Raytheon, MITRE, Northrup Grumman, BAE Systems, and Textron.

There are also numerous opportunities for small businesses to subcontract with MIT Lincoln Labs, a DOD research lab, and Hanscom Air Force Base. And in the thriving I-495 beltway alone, rapidly expanding technology companies associated with homeland security government contracts as well as the defense industry are working on projects ranging from bomb-detection products to embedded computing.

"Engineers are needed in the defense sector for [making products from] the science, especially in key areas such as electronics, computers, and advanced propulsion," says Wayne Plucker, an analyst at Frost and Sullivan.

"Right now the military is all about network-centric warfare, meaning everyone is on network, down to the individual soldier, so defense companies are especially involved in communications, command and control technologies, information assurance, cyber security, all these things play into the network," says Don Quenneville, director of the Defense Technology Initiative, a coalition aimed at establishing New England as the global leader in the defense technology industry." And companies are diversifying to not only support the defense industry but also re-channel into other high-tech domains."

IKE?

You didn't listen, America.

The Massachusetts military sector is not about building tanks and aircraft; it's about technological innovation.

Then again:
Meet Your Antiwar New England Liberals

The U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick and the Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom Air Force Base are among the preeminent military academic, and industrial technology complexes that conduct cutting-edge research and development, with technology often transferring from the military out to the public. "There is sort of a synergy that goes on in the broader defense community," says Rogers Starr, president of the Jacobs Technology, a Boston-area company that works on DOD electronic system command systems. "All of our work is converging together into connected technology and devices."

They way they talk about their "community" of fascist, mass-murdering, war-profiteering ways makes on ill.

Although individuals programs will come and go, due to long-term contracts and military contracts that are determined years in advance, the defense industry overall has been shielded from economic ups and downs and is expected to be stable for the next five years, says Placker. A shortage of specialized scientists and engineers continues to plague the sector, especially because of the need for security clearances, which limits the pool of available workers. "The supply of engineers is nowhere near what the demand is, especially for females and minorities," says MIT Lincoln Labs recruiting manager Dave Gentes. "The engineering is constantly shifting, and we're looking for people who are able to apply technology to tough problems."

Jacobs Technology, like many government contractors, is weathering the recession quite nicely, helping to develop military systems and providing technical support for defense and aerospace. With recruiting programs aimed at hiring engineers, from project engineers to electrical, "name any engineering discipline and we usue it in the defense and aerospace work we do," says Starr. "We couldn't do the work we do without engineers. They're the heart and soul of what we do."

And working for the defense industry has intrinsic benefits as well. Over at MIT Lincoln Labs, Gentes says, "Like almost everyone here, I feel good knowing that the work that I am doing is important and helping to contribute to the national security. It's challenging, interesting work with smart people, backed by good resources."

Don't forget to Sig Heil when you say that!
