Global Warming

Just a brief report to show that not all “warmists” are blinkered, if you read it in depth, it shows that some in fact know that they are wrong.

Reading this might soften the hardline attitude of some more CAGW supporters.

Thanks to Clare, ‘JustMe in T ‘ for this.

Finally, Larry Bell, 6th Feb 2013, says:
The Costs of Ideology Masquerading as Science

As Greenpeace co-founder Peter Moore observed onFox Business News in January 2011: “We do not have any scientific proof that we are the cause of the global warming that has occurred in the last 200 years…The alarmism is driving us through scare tactics to adopt energy policies that are going to create a huge amount of energy poverty among the poor people. It’s not good for people and it’s not good for the environment…In a warmer world we can produce more food.”

When Moore was asked who is responsible for promoting unwarranted climate fear and what their motives are, he said: “A powerful convergence of interests. Scientists seeking grant money, media seeking headlines, universities seeking huge grants from major institutions, foundations, environmental groups, politicians wanting to make it look like they are saving future generations. And all of these people have converged on this issue.”

Paul Ehrlich, best known for his 1968 doom and gloom book, The Population Bomb, reported in a March 2010 Nature editorial that a barrage of challenges countering the notion of a looming global warming catastrophe has his alarmist colleagues in big sweats: “Everyone is scared s***less [fecally void], but they don’t know what to do.”

Yes, and it should, because consequences of subordinating climate science to ideology, however well-intentioned, have proven to be incredibly costly.

The U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO) reports that federal climate spending has increased from $4.6 billion in 2003 to $8.8 billion in 2010 (a total $106.7 billion over that period). This doesn’t include $79 billion more spent for climate change technology research, tax breaks for “green energy”, foreign aid to help other countries address “climate problems”; another $16.1 billion since 1993 in federal revenue losses due to green energy subsidies; or still another $26 billion earmarked for climate change programs and related activities in the 2009 “Stimulus Bill.”

Virtually all of this is based upon unfounded representations that we are experiencing a known human-caused climate crisis, a claim based upon speculative theories, contrived data and totally unproven modeling predictions. And what redemptive solutions are urgently implored? We must give lots of money to the U.N. to redistribute; abandon fossil fuel use in favor of heavily subsidized but assuredly abundant, “free”, and “renewable” alternatives; and expand federal government growth, regulatory powers, and crony capitalist-enriched political campaign coffers.

It is way past time to realize that none of this is really about protecting the planet from man-made climate change. It never was. bb

These three quotes are reproduced from the article “Global Warming was never about climate change!
“Climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.” – IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer” which can be found here:

What redemptive solutions are urgently implored to combat this phantom “global warming,” or rather, “climate change”? We must give lots of money to the UN to redistribute; abandon fossil fuel use i…

Market collapse in process? Billionaires continue to dump U.S. stocks, traders are betting against U.S. economy

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Billionaires Dumping Stocks, Economist Knows Why
Despite the 6.5% stock market rally over the last three months, a handful of billionaires are quietly dumping their American stocks . . . and fast.

Read this Sott.net post, attributed to ‘InvestmentWatch’  here.

A sort of catch 22 situation – if the market was/is in fact safe, which of course it isn’t, this manoeuvring by the wealth controllers is enough to bring about a crash.

Question is – does publicising this, warn public investors to make allowances, or does it contribute to panic selling and ensure that there is a crash?

Undoubtedly. the relative miniscule market share belonging to my loyal followers is not going to create a panic run, but general publicity might.

Who can you trust when it comes to your health?

The more we learn, the more we wonder about this deceptive world.

Just ME in T's Health Stuff

Normally I prefer to write my own pages containing my own thoughts, research and opinions. But why reinvent the wheel? Genius is found in many places and quite often ignored or played down. I am passing along – this article from a man I hold in high regard. He tells it like it is, with no glossy coating. When it comes to your health – it is most important that you ask questions, do research and even look for alternative treatments.

I could have, and in many ways have mentioned the following in previous blogs:

Hypocrisy: US Arms Al Qaeda in Syria, Mass-Slaughters Civilians in Afghanistan

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Hypocrisy is just a word describing human statement being the opposite of actual action. Or preaching one thing and doing the opposite.

In itself, fairly innocuous behaviour. However, in this case we have it applied to catastrophic warfare and terrorism – thousands of lives lost or destroyed.

Yet the world, including mainstream journalists and politicians, sits quietly by, watching this atrocious injustice, listening to the lies and observing these murders as if this is acceptable, normal, civilized behaviour.

Unfortunately, it is becoming normal and seemingly acceptable, but it certainly would not be these things if we were actually, a sane and civilized world.

From ‘theintelhub’, by Tony Cartalucci

AFP has reported that a recent NATO airstrike in Afghanistan has killed over 10 civilians in an all-too-familiar headline glossed over by the Western media in an exercise of both depravity and hypocrisy.

RT’s article, “NATO airstrike kills 10 Afghan civilians, mostly women and children – officials,” notes in particular that up to 11,864 civilians were killed in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2011, and that civilian deaths before 2007 were not even tracked by the UN.

Such facts reveal alarming hypocrisy as the UN keeps almost daily, inflated tallies of civilian deaths elsewhere, in particular, in nations like Libya and Syria where Western interests have been heavily involved in regime change and in dire need of manipulating public perception worldwide.

The United Nations had in fact pieced together a dubious report crafted from “witness accounts” compiled not in Syria, or even beyond its borders in a refugee camp, but instead, in Geneva by “witnesses” supplied by the so-called Syrian “opposition.”

Wall Street vultures drive up food prices while billions starve

I don’t pretend to understand the financial fine points here but when I read derivatives, that is enough to understand that profits are being made from fictional assets. When I read “betting on prices”, I understand gambling and controlling prices.

Like the investors aware of the forthcoming 9/11 attacks betting on airline share prices falling.

So here we have profiteering on food prices causing hardship and starvation. How low can people go? But if one asks why?, the possible answers include “to make more money” and to “create a shift in the socio-economic structure”. I would suspect the latter, as making money just for desire, or fun, or because they can, whilst hurting other people suggests a fairly strong ulterior motivation. At least, I would like to think so.

This article by Keith Johnson, American Free Press, posted on Sott.net spells out this greedy and disgusting human behaviour.

Goldman Sachs reaps $400M “bountiful harvest” by gambling on America’s food staples

While people around the globe struggled to put food on the table in 2012, banking giant Goldman Sachs reaped a bountiful harvest. According to a new report by the UK-based anti-poverty group, World Development Movement (WDM), Goldman Sachs made approximately $400M in profits last year by betting on the prices of food staples like wheat, corn and soy.

On war lovers in a pathological society and manufacturing the American legacy

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Here is a clear understanding of the warmongers’ at work.

An apt opinion (IMHO), expressed in the article, attributed to a reader: “The USA is a full-blown pathological society now.”

Posted at Sott.net, an article by William Blum, The Anti-Empire Report, makes an important addition to this blog. The truth about the US and its warfaring and imperialism. An extreme travesty of justice.

American Foreign Policy – Have our war lovers learned anything?

Over the past four decades, of all the reasons people over a certain age have given for their becoming radicalized against US foreign policy, the Vietnam War has easily been the one most often cited. And I myself am the best example of this that you could find. I sometimes think that if the war lovers who run the United States had known of this in advance they might have had serious second thoughts about starting that great historical folly and war crime.

At other times, however, I have the thought that our dear war lovers have had 40 years to take this lesson to heart, and during this time what did they do? They did Salvador and Nicaragua, and Angola and Grenada. They did Panama and Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan and Iraq. And in 2012 American President Barack Obama saw fit to declare that the Vietnam War was “one of the most extraordinary stories of bravery and integrity in the annals of military history”.1

So, have they learned nothing? When it comes to following international law, is the United States like a failed state? The Somalia of international law?

Approaching the existential cliff: 17 denial statements made by the sleeping masses

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Cliff house Giant Camera

A very interesting post for the public to consider. It is an opinion piece but based on cold hard facts. It is easy to understand the conclusions and difficult to see an alternative way of assessing the current state of the world’s issues, causes and effects.

It is a distinct pleasure to publish this. (The picture, BTW, is related only because of its ‘cliff’ house, on the edge STS, and aesthetic appeal).

From Natural News, this article by Mike Bundrant.

(NaturalNews) People who are awake these days have reason to be gravely concerned. Although there may still hope to be had, there are sobering signs of a looming “existential cliff.” The existential cliff is the point at which the human race cannot recover from damage done by the human race – or its elitist power structure.

Patch Adams, MD, once told me that the existential cliff is around 2025. I don’t know where he got his info, but he claimed he’d read 1500 books along the way to that conclusion (I hope my memory serves me correctly here.)

Let’s get the lay of the land:

The food supply: largely poisoned

The water supply: largely poisoned

The oceans: poisoned

Modern medicine: more poison

Modern mental health: see modern medicine

Psychiatry: brain fryers

Government: the entity promoting the poison

The environment: poisoned

Modern money: deflated

Modern education: turns out sheeple

Modern corporations: prey upon sheeple

Modern news: hypnotizes the sheeple

Human intelligence: This is where it gets interesting. It seems that in spite of being highly intelligent beings (compared to the animal kingdom) capable of analyzing and solving complex problems, we have not evolved (or are not blessed) enough to see the simple truth, even when it coldly slaps us in the face, repeatedly!

In other words, we are busy solving problems that have little to do with our real problems!

Butter is Better ?

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

This topic needs to be thoroughly aired and seriously studied.
So much vested interest influences information from all sides. Certainly, a great deal of the criticisms levelled at the synthetic margarine product(s) are convincing and health risks are real.
With butter, the heart medical industry are still opposing “animal” fats, their conclusions also require assessment.
On the whole, it seems to me that butter is better.

Politicians Act as Agents of the United Nations to Enforce AGENDA 21 Upon Australians

Posted on February 6, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Politicians Show Preference for Covert Undemocratic AG21 Policy
Graham Williamson Revised edition January 2013
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This paper is about Agenda 21 and its implementation in Australia. Its primary purpose is to examine the implementation process and assess its democratic foundations and whether the public have truly been permitted to make an informed democratic choice. Its secondary purpose is to evaluate whether Agenda 21 is beneficial and necessary for Australians.
Using extensive documentary evidence from experts, combined with personal correspondence documented in the Appendices, the following fundamental facts have been established.

1. Agenda 21 is a fundamentally undemocratic, sovereignty threatening, UN designed and monitored program which is being banned overseas because of the threat it poses to fundamental human rights. Agenda 21 is found to pose a serious risk to freedom and human rights and is unnecessarily foreign in its origin and control.
2. All three levels of government have been undemocratically implementing this program throughout Australia, on behalf of the UN, for 10-20 years. All the evidence indicates the consistent political refusal to publicly declare AG21 policy has been non-negotiable & bipartisan.
3. In 20 years, all major political parties have refused to openly declare their Agenda 21 policy during elections to enable citizens to make an informed democratic choice. All major parties have preferred to implement Agenda 21 as undeclared or covert policy. As a result, community ignorance about AG21 and its implications are widespread.
4. Although pervasively embedded into government (undeclared) policy at all levels, when directly questioned about AG21 our elected representatives go to extraordinary lengths to either avoid the subject or pretend it is not being implemented. From all my enquiries, not one politician or bureaucrat eagerly responded by openly detailing the many ways in which the tentacles of AG21 are being implemented through the various government departments. Implementation of Agenda 21 is based upon a failure to accurately and truthfully inform Australians. It is based upon deception and trashing of democracy.

AG21 is a policy far bigger than any other policy. It is a policy of 20 years duration. It is a policy implemented by both major parties and all 3 levels of government around Australia. It has penetrated from Canberra to local communities everywhere. It shapes our legal system, our economic system, our environmental system, our political system, and even the education of our children. It is not possible to imagine a more massive political policy, yet it is excluded from the electoral agenda and the official policies of all major parties. This policy is being enforced upon us and we have been denied any democratic choice. Why?
This is a massive scandal and it is why our politicians are desperately trying to shut the debate down. It is a scandal that dwarfs even the CO2 tax and climate change which form just one part of it.

The past 20 years, and my correspondence detailed in the Appendix, show quite clearly that a change of government will not solve this issue. What is needed is a return to democracy, dramatically increased political accountability, strengthening of sovereignty, and a renewed political commitment of allegiance to the people rather than an allegiance to the UN.

Introduction
All 3 levels of government in Australia, and all major political parties, have chosen to implement a foreign United Nations designed and monitored ‘sustainability’ program called Agenda 21. Governments have been implementing this program around Australia for 10-20 years although all major parties have been unanimous in their decision not to give Australians a democratic choice on this issue at election time. Further, this foreign program has pervasively infiltrated local councils and the legal system so that property rights are being insidiously and progressively transferred from humans to plants and the environment. And our politicians, without the knowledge or permission of the overwhelming majority of Australians, have even seen fit to embed this foreign program into the school curriculum to ensure our children are indoctrinated with UN propaganda.

In view of these developments I contacted various political parties in an attempt to clarify their policy regarding Agenda 21. This paper documents more than 12 months research into Agenda 21 & the response of political parties & elected representatives to simple questions regarding the implementation of this foreign UN program. It documents the difficulties involved in obtaining clear truthful answers from our elected representatives, irrespective of the party they represent. And it documents the death of democracy in Australia as political parties present one policy to the people during elections, but when elected they proceed to implement undeclared or covert policies, or policies of which they are apparently so ashamed they refuse to openly discuss them.

This paper documents this disturbing abandonment of democracy. How is it possible to have a pervasive far reaching program such as Agenda 21 implemented by government departments and councils throughout Australia for 10-20 years and yet this program is omitted from official policy? And when our elected representatives are directly questioned about implementation of this UN program, why do they feel the need to go to extraordinary lengths to refuse to discuss it or even pretend it is not being implemented?
It is astonishing that my exhaustive attempts to obtain simple answers from our elected representatives have met with such a solid brick wall of deception or obfuscation.
In order to supply background information, and evidence from experts and from government departments, I have included the following detailed Appendices below. Most of the Appendices are self-explanatory. Appendix J documents some of the real life results of the government drive to support the ecocentric rewriting of the legal system and the erosion of property rights as proposed by Agenda 21. Appendix K documents the involvement of councils which are at the forefront of the implementation of UN AG21 restriction of land use and property rights while Appendix L documents my complaint to the NSW Ombudsman regarding council involvement.

Read on here for the remainder of this paper which clearly demonstrates the bypassing of democratic decision making processes in Australia, and the inability or refusal of government and public representatives to explain the validity of the UN Agenda 21 being implemented without due legal process.
