The Great Global Warming Swindle.

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

I am a believer – of what is presented in this video. I am a denier of the theory and practice related to man-made CO2 being related to catastrophic climate change.

Door opens for China’s massive takeover of overseas assets

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

From ‘China Daily Mail’ by :

Seeing its $3 trillion foreign exchange reserve dropping in value due to falling US dollar exchange rate, China is anxiously looking for opportunities to take over profitable foreign assets. CNOOC’s takeover of Nexen is China’s first success in purchasing substantial foreign assets. Encouraged by the success, China will further intensify its efforts to buy foreign assets.

With such a trend, we can foresee that China will step up building up its navy to protect its trade lifeline and foreign assets.

AGW – Truth and Commonsense from a “Greenie”

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

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:

“Global Warming” was never about climate change!

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?

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

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.”

Image: Just some of the corporate members of the US-Qatar Business Council, whose president just so happens to sit on the same board of directors of the Middle East Policy Center as Karen AbuZayd, co-author of one of many conveniently timed UN Human Rights Council reports on Syria.

Wall Street vultures drive up food prices while billions starve

The Goldman Sachs Tower. New Jersey

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!
