I guess if junk science doesn’t impress them, the climate commies figure scaring the little buggers to death might work. Hey kids! Here’s some news for you, some adults are just plain evil.

Al Gore’s chief scientific ally caught fudging again

Filed Under Global, National | Leave a Comment

Glaring incompetence or deliberate disinformation? NASA’s Dr James Hansen who in June of this year said he would “call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.” has been caught fudging climate change numbers again.
Shouldn’t Dr. Hansen turn himself in for trial and punishment as a repeat offender of the crime of misinformation, a crime of his own invention?

The world has never seen such freezing heat

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China’s official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its “worst snowstorm ever”. In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.

Once, they owned the world; now the world owns them

Outstanding article by Bill Bonner at The Daily Reckoning. I don’t know about you but I’m sick of being hornswoggled by big government and the FED.

THE BIGGEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH IN HISTORY
by Bill Bonner

This week began with alarm bells. First Bridgewater Associates broke the glass and pulled the handle; it said the conflagration in the credit markets might lead to losses four times higher than previous estimates - at $1.6 trillion. A lot of money - even for someone who lives in London.

Bridgewater helpfully pointed out that this was just the beginning; the world would lose an additional $12 trillion in foregone credit. When the going is good, each ounce of a bank’s share capital grows into as much as a pound of credit available to borrowers. But when the cycle turns, the shrinkage takes your breath away. Remove a dollar from a bank’s balance sheet and you wipe out a ten-spot of credit. Bad news for people in Britain and America who are accustomed to living off of credit. Bad news for their economies, too. Without access to the fire hose of easy credit, the consumer economy goes up in smoke.

To give you an idea of the scale of a $12 trillion problem, the entire U.K. economy generates only $2.8 trillion of output annually. The U.S. economy - at $13.8 trillion - is only slightly bigger than the anticipated damage.

Environmentalists’ Wild Predictions
By Walter E. Williams

Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, let’s look at some environmentalist predictions that they would prefer we forget.
At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.” C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, “The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed.” In 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore’s hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and “in the 1970s … hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death.” Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich’s predictions about England were gloomier: “If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.”

Petraeus and Crocker Face the Ron Paul Constitution Test

Filed Under Global, H.L. Mencken, National, Ron Paul | 1 Comment

Ron Paul’s question posed to Petraeus and Crocker was “…does the administration have the authority to bomb Iran without further congressional approval?”
You would think that two public servants who swore to defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies both foreign and domestic would know that the Constitution forbids the executive branch from waging war without a congressional vote of approval.
Both men squirming in their seats gave the same answer “I don’t know”. Crocker even had the audacity to say he was “not competent to pronounce on an issue like that”. Knowing that to answer that question honestly would mean career self destruction in the service of the empire, I can understand their sudden lack of knowledge but I don’t respect it. Like H.L. Mencken famously wrote “It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.”

Abolish the Fed and No Socialism for the Rich

Filed Under Economics, Federal Reserve, Global, National | 3 Comments

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke should resign and the Fed should be abolished as a way to boost the falling dollar and speed up the recovery of the U.S. economy, investor Jim Rogers, CEO of Rogers Holdings, told CNBC Europe Wednesday.

Asked what he would do if he were in Bernanke’s shoes, Rogers, who slammed the Fed for pouring liquidity in the system and accepting mortgage-backed securities as guarantees, said: “I would abolish the Federal Reserve and I would resign.”

Ron Paul - Intervening Our Way to Economic Ruin

Filed Under Economics, Global, Libertarian, National, Ron Paul | Leave a Comment

On Wednesday, March 13, Rep. Ron Paul addressed the House of Representatives on the costs of intervening around the world.

I am pleased to address the House tonight about the budget because there has been a lot of concern expressed here today on both sides of the aisle about the kind of financial trouble we’re in. And there’s no doubt about that. But sometimes I think we go back and forth spending more time blaming each other rather than dealing with the real problem.

One of the contentions I’ve had about the budget is that we look at it as an accounting problem rather than a philosophy problem because the spending occurs because of what we accept as the proper role of government. And right now, it’s assumed by the country as well as the Congress that the proper role of government is to run our lives, run the economy, run the welfare state, and police the world. And all of a sudden, it puts a lot of pressure on the budget.
