Buy Ohio Gold for Christmas

I received a great tip today from a friend at the Ohio Freedom Alliance concerning buying locally this year for Christmas. With the economy the way it is, dismal, I thought what could better than buying locally this year and supporting folks from our community. Well how about buying Ohio gold!

As the US Dollar is slowly going down the toilet and it’s future is uncertain, what could be a better gift this year than buying gold or silver. And what could be better than buying local and putting money right into our community! Check out Ohio Precious Metals today for what could be the Christmas gift of a life time.

Climategate in the News 27-Nov-2009

Well, it shouldn’t be a surprise that “Climategate” isn’t getting much attention by the main stream media. When an event is even bigger and more insidious than even “Watergate,” you would think that real journalists would be fighting tooth and nail to get the story. But of course they’re not…

Nevertheless the alternative media is stepping up and filling void. This morning I made a quick survey of the news stories and blog posts that you might consider reading and then passing to your friends and family. This is one event the liberty movement must “run to the ground.” We must get the word out – strike while the fire’s hot.

First on the list is John Delingpole of the Telegrah (UK), who besides Alex Jones at Infowars, has the best and most update information coming from the MSM.

Climategate: five Aussie MPs lead the way by resigning in disgust over carbon tax
ustralia is leading the revolt against Al Gore’s great big AGW conspiracy – just as the Aussie geologist and AGW sceptic Professor Ian Plimer predicted it would.

ABC news reports that five frontbenchers from Australia’s opposition Liberal party have resigned their portfolios rather than follow their leader Malcolm Turnbull in voting with Kevin Rudd’s Government on a new Emissions Trading Scheme.
The Liberal Party is in turmoil with the resignations of five frontbenchers from their portfolios this afternoon in protest against the emissions trading scheme.

Climategate: what Gore’s useful idiot Ed Begley Jr doesn’t get about the ‘peer review’ process

Well no wonder he’s cross. His world is falling apart. Ed Begley Jr – now probably better known as a climate activist than for his role TV medical soap St Elsewhere – bought in so heavily to Big Al Gore’s Man-Made-Global-Warming meme, he actually became a vegan and is engaged in a competition with some other actor you won’t have heard of to see who can get the lowest Carbon Footprint.

Climategate: this is our Berlin Wall moment!

I’ve just had a great, very sympathetic interview about Climategate on LBC radio (London’s main commercial news and talk station) with Petrie Hosken. She told me she has been simply inundated with callers, all of them utterly unconvinced that human influence has made any significant on so-called “Global Warming”. She was desperate to get a few balancing calls from people who do believe in AGW but just couldn’t find any.

Can you imagine this happening a year ago? Or even a month ago? Until Climategate, we “Sceptics” were considered freaks – almost as bad as Holocaust deniers – beyond the pale of reasonable balanced discussion. Suddenly we’re the norm. Climategate has finally given us the chance to express openly what many of us secretly felt all along:

AGW is about raising taxes; increasing state control; about a few canny hucksters who’ve leapt on the bandwagon fleecing us rotten with their taxpayer subsidised windfarms and their carbon-trading; about the sour, anti-capitalist impulses of sandal-wearing vegans and lapsed Communists who loathe the idea of freedom and a functioning market economy.

As I wrote above besides Mr. Delingpole, Alex Jones has great depth of information and has been covering this lie longer than most.

From the American Spectator we have this story about our very own NASA’s refusal to provide data on global climate.

“Climate Gate” Development: CEI Files Notice of Intent to Sue NASA

Today, on behalf of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, I filed three Notices of Intent to File Suit against NASA and its Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), for those bodies’ refusal – for nearly three years – to provide documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.

The information sought is directly relevant to the exploding “ClimateGate” scandal revealing document destruction, coordinated efforts in the U.S. and UK to avoid complying with both countries’ freedom of information laws, and apparent and widespread intent to defraud at the highest levels of international climate science bodies. Numerous informed commenters had alleged such behavior for years, all of which appears to be affirmed by leaked emails, computer codes and other data from the Climatic Research Unit of the UK’s East Anglia University.

All of that material and that sought for years by CEI go to the heart of the scientific claims and campaign underpinning the Kyoto Protocol, its planned successor treaty, “cap-and-trade” legislation and the EPA’s threatened regulatory campaign to impose similar measures through the back door.

From the Financial Post:

Lawrence Solomon: New Zealand’s Climategate

An agency of the New Zealand government has been cooking the books to create a warming trend where none exists, according to a joint research project by global warming skeptics at the Climate Conversation Group and the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition. The chief cook? Dr. Jim Salinger, considered one of the country’s top scientists, who began the graph in the 1980s when he was at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK. CRU, of course, has become ground zero of Climategate at Dr. Salinger has maintained close relations with CRU since, as seen in the Climategate emails.

Of concern and interest is this article from the Calgary Sun:

Why ‘climategate’ won’t stop greens

If you’re wondering how the robot-like march of the world’s politicians towards Copenhagen can possibly continue in the face of the scientific scandal dubbed “climategate,” it’s because Big Government, Big Business and Big Green don’t give a s*** about “the science.”

They never have.

What “climategate” suggests is many of the world’s leading climate scientists didn’t either. Apparently they stifled their own doubts about recent global cooling not explained by their computer models, manipulated data, plotted ways to avoid releasing it under freedom of information laws and attacked fellow scientists and scientific journals for publishing even peer-reviewed literature of which they did not approve.

From Russia Today, an interview with two scientist who say we were being misled-lied to:

From a British weblog, Burning Our Money:

Climategate
Warmism is not our specialist subject, but we really can’t let the scandal of Climategate pass without comment.

As you will know, emails and other material “liberated” from the publicly funded Climatic Research Institute at the University of East Anglia, show quite clearly that warmist “scientists” have been manipulating data on climate change in order to con the public into believing their religion. Their very expensive religion.

The emails talk explicity of data manipulation “tricks”, “hiding the decline” observed in actual temperature records, and suppressing dissident views (you can access the complete set here, but be warned – there are shedloads). It’s all straight out of the Manual of Stalinist Tractor Statistics. The emails also contain requests to other warmist “scientists” to destroy embarrassing records that might be subject to public disclosure under freedom of information laws (an inconvenience such people didn’t suffer in the USSR).

I plan on posting periodic surveys of the news stories concerning this scandal, so please check in from time to time for updates.

On another note and coming back to the idea of striking while the fire is hot, get on the stick and start emailing, writing, and calling your local, state and federal politicians demanding an investigation, and likewise start writing your community newspapers “letters to the editor” section to get this scandal out there. If the MSM isn’t going to cover the story because they are beholden to this corruption, then we need to get the word out ourselves.

Demon pigs at war with our future

Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren involved in unwinding “Climategate” scandal

Check out this article from Canada:

Lift up a rock and another snake comes slithering out from the ongoing University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) scandal, now riding as  “Climategate”.

Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal.  In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.

“The files contain so much material that it is going to take some time t o put it all in context,” says Ball.  “However, enough is already known to underscore their explosive nature.  It is already clear the entire claims and positions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are based on falsified manipulated material and is therefore completely compromised.

“The fallout will be extensive as material continues to emerge.  Reputations of the scientists involved are already destroyed, however fringe players will continue to be identified and their reputations destroyed or sullied.”

While the mainstream media is bending into pretzels to keep the scandal under the rug, Climategate is already the biggest scientific scandal in history because of the global policy implications.

We need to do something.

• Email this article to your friends and family; don’t worry about the naysayers, just get this information out there.
• Write your Congressman and Senator and demand an investigation; I say write because all they do is delete our emails.
• Call you local state elected officials and tell them you want a complete investigate by your state. Our state legislators must take back the power that is being abused in Congress, remember Congress has been funding this propaganda for years now.
• Go to leftist and environmental leftist weblogs and get on their comment pages and post this information about Climategate. It might tick a lot of them off, but there may be one or two out there that have a few brain cells remaining and we might get through to them.

A few of us knew this was a lie, but through the power and resources of governments and corporations the majority of uninformed were swayed to believe the crap about climate change. Now we have the truth. We must take the banner of truth and fight the enemy. If we don’t go on the assault we will lose because the enemy will spin this completely to their advantage. Get the word out people and fight these global tyrants.

Cap and Trade would hit Ohio’s Pocketbook

This letter to the editor appeared in The Columbus Dispatch:

It’s been a remarkably contentious few months in our nation’s capital. But one thing is clear from the flurry of bills, amendments and stump speeches on climate change: Cap and trade will fail Americans, especially in the lower and middle classes, and bring higher fuel costs across the board.

The fuels that individuals and businesses use every day — gasoline, diesel and jet fuel — will increase dramatically in price under this legislation. Despite the number of bells and whistles attached, from green-power subsidies or weak nuclear-power amendments to minor offshore-drilling concessions, cap and trade is a toxin that will spread to every corner of our economy.

According to a study by the Heritage Foundation, Ohioans would be looking at almost $4 billion less in disposable income, 46,000 jobs lost and $10.6 billion in lost state revenue. Though the White House and its allies in Congress have relentlessly marketed cap and trade as the ticket for a “green economy” and “green jobs,” many Americans are catching on that these do not exist without massive taxpayers’ subsidies and exponentially higher energy rates.

Ohioans must stay on guard; this issue is far from dead. Urge Ohio Sens. Sherrod Brown and George V. Voinovich to stop cap-and-trade legislation and keep America moving on the transportation fuels it needs.

The Importance of Cars; The Irrelevance of Transit

Speaking of mass transit, while I was catching up on my reading at the The Anti-Planner, this article jumped out at me, The Importance of Cars; The Irrelevance of Transit.

This quote says quite a bit:

People in wealthy economies drive more; people who drive more live in wealthier economies.

So as we Ohioans are pushed toward the mass transit scheme being cooked up by the statists in Columbus, who desire nothing more than to control your life, it might do us well to remember that mass transit has a distinct and negative effect on the economy of a community; it makes you poor.

If we put mass transit on top of what the republicans have done to the state for the last 15 years, the democrats should have us back to riding horses. No that wont happen, HSUS contends livestock animal cause 50 percent of all green house gases, so it will likely mean mass transit bicycles built in China.

Boston Transit System Near Collapse

As the collectivist/statists in Columbus continue pushing the State of Ohio toward their benighted mass transit scheme, headlines such as this should be carefully considered: Boston Transit System Near Collapse.
