Chaos knocking on the door

Do we even begin to hear the whisper of an apology for such a disastrous 'prophecy':

In 2000, scientists at perhaps the world’s centre of global warming alarmism issued this prediction:

According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
”Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

It’s now 2013 - which surely must now qualify as “within a few years”.

Russia:

On Friday, Moscow was on a verge of traffic collapse as more than 10 inches of snow fell on the city, which is more than half of January’s average… In the Altai Republic in Western Siberia, 12 Russian settlements were isolated because of the snowstorm…
In the end of 2012, Russia saw extreme winter not witnessed since 1938. The coldest-ever December in Russia led to the evacuation of hundreds of people in Siberia, where temperatures fell below -50 degrees Celsius; Moscow also saw its coldest night ever for the seaso

Britain:

Snow is expected to blanket the UK for the next week, with no end to the freezing conditions in sight.

Europe:

Snowfalls across western Europe have disrupted travel plans, with cancellations and closures at some major airports.
 

No way!

This is but one arm of the political campaign intended to divert untold  billions of dollars into the coffers of  'vested interests', whose actual concerns are far more cynical than merely 'saving the world'. These interests are the political muscle behind the one-world, UN cabal whose stated goal is a single worldwide government. I am no longer self-policing myself with respect to 'conspiracy theories'  because it has become abundantly clear that such things actually do exist. The only task now is to uncover the real from the counterfeit.
“Today’s debate about global warming is essentially a debate about freedom. The environmentalists would like to mastermind each and every possible (and impossible) aspect of our lives.” Vaclav Klaus
 How can 'ordinary' people be so ignorant when the evidences for this illusory campaign are so thin whereas the evidence of mendacity on the part of scientists, media and politicians so widespread?

Because we prefer to keep our opinions to ourselves for fear of becoming a target of the radical left-wing/PC/gaystapo/feminazi fanatics?

Unfortunately and understandably true! These tiny but radical groups have totally dominated political discourse and woe betide any 'ordinary' voice who dares to oppose them; especially, Gaia forbid, middle-aged, heterosexual, family men (Imperialistic homophobes with patriachal tendencies!!!!!).

Come on folks, let us vote out the mendacious, manipulative and incompetent fools who have provided a platform for such stand-over tacticians before they change the political landscape so irretrievably that we sink to the level of some third-world oligarchy and the tribal chaos we see every night on TV becomes our own backyard. 

IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES ...and Burke's aphorism has never been more true than it is today:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." 

if it ain't broke....

To all those would-be-republican Aussies I would like to pass on this snippet of financial information.

In his recent book "Presidential Perks Gone Royal," Robert Keith Gray, a former Eisenhower staffer, revealed that last year the U.S. presidency cost American taxpayers $1.4 billion. Over the same period, the entire Royal Family cost British taxpayers about $57 million. There's nothing "royal" about the current level of "presidential perks": the Obama family costs taxpayers more than every European royal house put together.
 

Of course you will have to read the book to confirm that this is the truth, but doing so might impact your understanding of the 'egalitarian' values that a republic allegedly bestows upon its  citizens.

The fish rots from the head down, and so do republics. A $1.4-billion president has a defense secretary with a private plane to fly him home every weekend, and a chair of the "White House Council on Women and Girls" with her own Secret Service detail, and all of them ever more detached from the rhythms of American life. In the wake of the Cartagena hooker scandal, the Secret Service with predictable obtuseness imposed a new rule prohibiting agents from having "foreign nationals" in their rooms. The salient fact surely wasn't that they were "foreign" but that they were hookers. Yet now, at the luxury Moana Surfrider resort, Obama staffers passing through the lobby and bumping into minor princesses and arch-duchesses staying in the cheap rooms on the lower floors won't even be able to ask them up to their federally mandated ocean-view suites for tips on deficit reduction. In the Brokest Nation in History, it would be unreasonable to expect the president to pretend to have a regular all-American family Christmas for less than five million bucks.

As Ben Franklin famously said: "A republic, if you can keep it in the style to which it's become accustomed.

History appears to indicate that in every society since history was recorded, some people are always more equal than others. Of course PoMo 'history professors' (revisionists) these days prefer to gloss over fact in favour of opinion so it is probably better to confine your research material to pre-1980's.

Orwell covers the reality of unequal 'equality' marvellously in his animal Farm...read it as well before you vote to eradicate a system (monarchy) which has served us well for hundreds of years and is not yet 'broke'.

Metanoia

It is hard to fathom but the new America is at war with the orthodox Christian faith. If you do not believe me then read these two articles to gain a small understanding about how that war is being transacted.

We should consider that these attacks seem reminiscent of the beginnings of the pogroms against the Jews in Nazi Germany. If you think I am being dramatic about this then read your history (not the revisionist stuff , research mainly before 1980 for a more objective perspective) and you will find that the similarities abound.

Some say that the Church needs persecution in order to become its 'true self', unfortunately I do not see a biblical mandate for that. What I do see is a biblical instruction to pray for a society where we can live in peace and go about the business of the Kingdom; 1 Timothy 2:2.

I believe that those who voted for the Obama administration in America were wrong.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, but we are not entitled to our own facts...unless of course you are a PoMo in which case Nietzsche rather than Jesus becomes your guiding light.

Ideas have consequences

"Tasmania is a petri dish, demonstrating the consequences of green ideology run rampant. No jobs, the forestry industry on its knees, and bushfires feasting on fuel built up over two mild fire seasons. Yet, instead of facing up to their errors, the Greens conveniently blame climate change. They pretend imposing a carbon tax or destroying the coal industry will prevent bushfires, while reducing the actual fuel which powers the flames is “futile”.  (Miranda Devine)

Corporatists not capitalists

I found this gem of an explanation of contemporary elites in the comments section of a popular blog. The commentators nom de plume was Chris Z.

A common misconception is that the wealthy are capitalists. Most of the biggest enemies of laissez-faire capitalism (ie. the real kind) are in fact people who are only called capitalists. The reason for this should be pretty obvious - people who have amassed great wealth and power (often with the help of the government) seek to keep competitors at bay. The best way to do this is to lobby the government for subsidies and protection from competition. Paradoxically, a regulation that seems to hurt big business often has the opposite effect, e.g. restricting new coal mines or oil refineries makes existing ones worth more, thus enriching their owners, and prevents new competitors from entering the market. Gore became fabulously wealthy by exploiting the global warming panic (which he whipped up into hysteria), and cashing in on the massive subsidies paid by the government, as well as regulations that forced people to buy ‘carbon offsets’.

These people aren’t capitalists as the word used to be understood, they are corporatists who wouldn’t stay wealthy for long in a real free market. I don’t think terms like left wing and right wing are particularly helpful, but because these so-called capitalists are the biggest supporters and the biggest beneficiaries of big government, I would say they are left wing.
 

Oh well said Chris Z...Corporatists!
Thus falls the woollen veil that has been so skillfully pulled over the eyes of those who do not want to see...here I speak of the main-stream-media who use these wealthy, big government Trojan horses to attack 'capitalism' and keep the unreflective men-in-the-street from understanding that true free market economics impedes big government totalitarian rule.
When we allow big government to rule we allow an elite few inner urban red/green extremists to guide our every move and thought.
Welcome to the future Big Brother and I don't mean the TV show. We are not far away now.

Corrupt science

Science as much as anything else has suffered under the post-modern paradigm of relativity.

When truth is something someone decides for themselves then it is no longer truth because it is not fact based. We are all entitled to our opinions but we are not entitled to our own 'facts'. When truth in science is no longer fact based then science just becomes someones opinion and is easily corrupted into being another way of falsifying data in order to push an agenda.

Witness the man made corruptions of 'climate science' and the billions misspent in 'stopping' it.
This small extract from Jo Nova encapsulates the current dilemma:

“Expert” science panels should only ever be judged by their science not their politics. A successful panel can judge theories by objective criteria: do they predict the world around us, are they strictly logical, and do they have observational evidence (data) to back them up? With so many incompetent professors and meaningless Nobel Prizes, qualifications don’t guarantee ability anymore. The idea that we could ask “experts” how they vote or tally up their donations to political parties is profoundly unscientific. Nature has lost the plot.

If Daniel Sarewitz wants people to perceive scientists as rising above politics, I hate to say the bleeding obvious, but scientists need to actually rise above politics. Scientists need to stop being activists and start holding logic and evidence above all else, and speak cautiously about their ability to predict the world until they can demonstrate their ability to do it.

What we need are not Democrat-scientists or Republican-scientists, we need scientist scientists.

When some scientists are caught hiding declines, honest upstanding scientists need to denounce them. When good scientists don’t speak up about the bad ones, is it any wonder the public assumes that all of science is as corrupted, sick and self serving as every other human institution?

In climate science the self-correcting mechanism of reality takes an age to winnow the trash from the treasure. Billions can be wasted in the meantime. Compare that to the wizards of Silicon Valley whose products are tested day after day. Who cares about the political inclinations of those technologists? It works, or it doesn’t.

When scientists predict that there will be no more snow, and it snows, there ought to be a price. When a scientist can tell us the rains won’t fill the dams and that our cities need expensive desal plants, and he’s proven wrong yet suffers no loss of reputation or stature (or funds), what does it mean to be a scientist? Nothing. The people trashing the reputation of all scientists are the ones who stay silent while charlatans steal the brand-name and good will of science, and get away with profoundly unscientific behavior.
 

I might not agree with everythng she says,but when it comes to scientists acting like scientists I say...go girl! 

Auchtung! Environazis.

I believe that the stand-over tactics of the (now) many environmental groups are hurting ordinary Australians like never before. The fact that we are paying so much for energy and water is directly attributable to these environazis having 'greenmailed' their way into government and the hearts and minds of weak but influential people.

The attached article illustrates the totalitarian philosophy behind these activists and should warn all Australians to wake up before their hold is to strong around the neck of this countries economy.
