Plan for Re-Education Camps in America


“The re-education process is the responsibility of the “Psychological Operations Officer,” whose job it is to design “PSYOP products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees or DCs to accept U.S. I/R facility authority and regulations,” according to the document.”

As ‘Onslow’ would say “Nice!”.

Perhaps there is a need to update the “Star-Spangled Banner” lyrics which say:

” By the millions unchained, Who their birthright have gained We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained; And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave, While the land of the free is the home of the brave.”

Because the millions are not “unchained”, and the “land of the free” is a misnomer. Also there are many who disagree with “Bright blazon unstained”

A leaked U.S. Army document prepared for the Department of Defense contains shocking plans for “political activists” to be pacified by “PSYOP officers” into developing an “appreciation of U.S. policies” while detained in prison camps inside the United States.

The document, entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF) was originally released on a restricted basis to the DoD in February 2010, but has now been leaked online.

The manual outlines policies for processing detainees into internment camps both globally and inside the United States. International agencies like the UN and the Red Cross are named as partners in addition to domestic federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA.

Has the CRUTEM4 Data been fiddled with?


Very convincing cheating, I would venture to say! What I mean to say is that I am convinced that they cheat, not that they will convince the scientific amongst us!
I guess they have to resort to this to uphold their ‘hockey stick’ dream. Certainly it was a dream/nightmare.
Yet the rest of the world carries on regardless. Regardless of facts, data and genuine science.

Where and when will this debacle end?

International Scientific Order Needed To Facilitate “The Big Die Off”, Top UN Adviser Says


This article is of past revelations but is important because it brings to life the theories and policies which are currently being put into practice without many realizing their purpose, or even that they exist!

In 2004, emeritus professor of physics at California State University and American representative to the UN, Roger Dittmann, stated that all policies related to Agenda 21 should be pursued with the aim of worldwide population reduction and population control. “The Big Die Off,” the professor eagerly added, “has already begun.”

In his presentationSustainable Development, the New International Scientific Order, and UN Reform he gives his own definition of the term “sustainable development:”

Economic (and other) development that leads to reduction in population toward an optimum level for maximization of the quality of life, i.e. environmentally benign development that reduces the birth rate,” Dittmann explains on page 14 of his lecture notes.

Furthermore, the emeritus professor writes bluntly that (capitals by Dittmann) “The Big Die Off…

Syria, MISO And Other Distasteful Spin


Perhaps there is no such thing as a ‘just’ war, but certainly the invasive Middle East warfare, currently operating in Syria, (not to mention Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and many other places), are clear examples of ‘unjust’ wars!

nsnbc

By Christof Lehmann – The proverb “the first victim of war is truth” has proven to be one of the most reliable constants of warfare. Deceit is another of the constants, and in the war on Syria both have proven their reliability. The extent, however, to which everything from strongly biased reporting, to plainly manufactured lies have been sold as truth by Western and Arab Media, including so called “progressive media” such as Democracy Now or Al Jazeera, is astounding, and has endowed the proverb the first victim or war being the truth, and the strategy of war by deceit with a new dimension of mass manipulation.

If one is asking the question if the US Military made the decision to re-define PSYOP, or Psychological Operations as MISO, Military Information Support Operation in 2011 because Western Main Stream Media had been catching up with Western Civilian…

The FBI Role in 9/11, Conning America

Veteran’s Today post, by Gordon Duff.

FBI Tasked With Creating “Cover and Deception” For Attack on US

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

Every military and intelligence operation has a “cover and deception” aspect.  Most have several, backup stories to use if one fails, like the inflatable tanks that Patton’s “empty army” used in Britain in 1944 to fool the Germans.  9/11 was no different, the cover and deception there was to prove that a group of FBI informants, some “cloned persons,” some Israeli agents, were actually hijackers planning 9/11.

The “hijackers” and those briefed about them, those who met them at strip clubs owned by Jack Abramoff, those told of them by “spies” were all conned, just like Hitler was, the “hijackers” were just more of Patton’s “rubber inflatable tanks.”

Informants of all kinds, some CIA “whistleblowers,” some Army, some honest decent people who were lied to were “set up” to sell this story, this fabrication about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, not one word of truth in all of it.

Behind this stood CGI videos, phony wreckage, a 9/11 Commission made of political hacks and cowards, and behind them stood a press like the BBC reporter who told of the destruction of Building 7 while it stood virtually undamaged behind her.  Every aspect of 9/11 was scripted, all movies, all photographs, key phony testimony, the phony hijackers, the phony informants, the phony news stories, all to cover the biggest insurance fraud in history, to orchestrate one of the biggest war crimes in history, the illegal invasion of two countries, and to serve key Israeli interests.

This is enough to prove it all false, all by itself, no rational person need look one inch further than this:

YouTube – Veterans Today –

Then that same day, police arrested two men who blew up a truck on the George Washington Bridge.  They disappeared, the story disappeared, the police disappeared, all evidence disappeared.  This proves all of it to be utterly wrong, that the hijacker story was a hoax in its entirety:

YouTube – Veterans Today –

Then there is the story about the Pentagon.  The Air Force disproves this story alone through the history of their attempts to modify the B 52, strongest plane in the world, to fly 300 feet off the ground at half the speed of the supposed “hijacker” plane.  This article should be enough.

Then the a similar plane was tested in New Zealand.  It would not fly under 150 feet at 240 mph.  The plane, as many pilots and engineers described, would fly apart.   The plane said to have hit the Pentagon is unable to fly 560 mph under 25,000 feet because of drag.  The Pentagon is 84 feet tall.  The Pentagon was hit at 5 feet off the ground at 560 mph.  The “platform” had a wingspread of less than 10 feet.  This single video alone disproves all testimony:

YouTube – Veterans Today –

Then the NORAD satellite photo of the missile attack on the Pentagon was released, proof on proof on proof, no hijackers, no magic planes:

YouTube – Veterans Today –

The FBI said they had 85 tapes that could disprove the NORAD tape but accidentally destroyed them.  Perhaps someone’s dog ate them.

Beyond all of this is the Jesse Ventura story.  I believe only evidence, not spin.  This is the “home run” of Jesse’s life, something we will always owe him for:

YouTube – Veterans Today –

Within Ventura’s 43 minutes there is enough hard proof, credible testimony, everything needed to debunk the cover and deception.

This is the truth about 9/11.  We have testimony from two Israeli officials that they helped plan and execute 9/11.  They profited for sure, they brag about it and they are, as we can see above, running the coverup along with the White House and FBI.

We thank the heroic Sibel Edmonds and Susan Lindauer for their work but we also know that part of the reason they suffered so much, few as much as Susan, was to help sell the lies about 9/11.  They were chosen to be sacrificed.  They were expendable.

Then we had others who claim they had information on the Saudis paying the hijackers, on FBI paymasters, dozens of stories meant to remove any Israeli responsibilty and to assign blame to the FBI and the hijackers.  These FBI agents also tie to representatives of the Chalbi goverment we were to install in Iraq which would lead to the civil war still raging to this day.  These same FBI agents were also paymasters for a certain Yemeni cleric killed at orders of the President.  He was an FBI informant.

Then we come to the few insiders, in particular some who went to Fox News.

Most of these people are part of the planning and conspiracy of 9/11 itself.

As for Osama bin Laden, he had always denied responsibility and his only certified statement, supplied by the CIA is below:

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY FOREIGN BROADCASTING INTERNATIONAL SERVICE:

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Website of Doha Al-Jazirah Satellite Channel Television in Arabic  [FBIS Report] Website of Doha Al-Jazirah Satellite Channel Television in Arabic,independent television station financed by the Qatari Government, which can be accessedat URL: http://www.aljazeera.net, carries at 2011 GMT on 24 September the text of the following letter by Usama Bin Ladin “to the Pakistani people.”

  • “We hope that these brothers would be the first martyrs in Islam’s battle in this age against the new Jewish crusade that is being led by the biggest crusader, Bush, under the banner of the cross. This battle is one of Islam’s immortal battles.”
  • “We beseech God to grant him victory against the forces of infidelity and arrogance, and to crush the new crusader-Jewish campaign on the land of Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
  • “I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States.”
  • “Neither I had any knowledge of these attacks nor I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. . Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Such a practice is forbidden ever in the course of a battle.”
  • “All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.”
  • “Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the US Government has stated.
  • “The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive.”
  • “They can be any one, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia.”
  • “Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him.”
  • “Then there are intelligence agencies in the US, which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these (FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 180)  agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usama and Taliban and then this incident happened.”
  • “Drug smugglers from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat.”
  • “President Bush or any other US President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must be asked as to who made the attacks.”
  • “Supporting the US act is the need of some Muslim countries and the compulsion of others. However, they should think as to what will remain of their religious and moral position if they support the attack of the Christians and the Jews on a Muslim country like Afghanistan.”
  • “I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom.”
  • “This system is totally in control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel.”
  • ”The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which make us surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves.”
  • “Terror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies of the United States cannot do, its media is doing that. You can understand as to what will be the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness.”

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY     END OF OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

The continual controversy about 9/11, the “official news” that still blames bin Laden, that talks about magic planes and imaginary hijackers is very much part of an 11 year old “cover and deception” plan to put America into two wars for Israel, a third one planned but unlikely to go forward and to cover the theft of 75% of the world’s wealth as “mortgage problems,” every currency in the world collapsing, enough money to buy the entire solar system, not a few homes, a few bad mortgages.  This is more “cover and deception.”

What is proof?

I just supplied several pieces of proof, any single one alone disproves the official story of 9/11 and the hijackers.

Any one, not all but one.

None of mine have been disproven but attempts to have courts disprove the fairy story the newspapers tell are blocked by what most Americans now accept as a police state dictatorship.

One of the first plans made when PNAC (Project for a New American Century) outlined the need for 9/11 to instill a police state, bankrupt the world and start decades of war was to, when needed, supply a massive controlled opposition, experts of every kind coming out of the woodwork with bizarre phony theories, cranks and the misguided and those placed among them to chronicle the failings of the government paid stooges that took control of the 9/11 Truth movement the same way police state totalitarians took control of the Tea Party.

“Controlled opposition,” a mass of ranting idiots steered by a few phony scientists and malcontents, backed by the CIA, Mossad and FBI have managed to keep the crime of the century and those who need to hang for it out of the public eye.

Some were sheep led to slaughter, a sacrifice we respect.  Others, the “wolves” or, more appropriately, the shills and paid hyenas, need to face war crimes tribunals, not just for the planners of 9/11, a wider crime with more arrests than most know of but those who have been paid to manage the 9/11 Truth organizations into infighting and failure.

Why would our government jail or hospital our own, folks like Sibel, what would they have to gain?  It is the blood of the martyr and she certainly qualifies, that helps market the lies.  What we don’t forget is the years of honest hard work she has done.  She is a power onto herself, she and Susan, something the government never expected.   They were underestimated.  This is two out of hundreds.

One short NORAD satellite video shows the Pentagon attack, interesting to look at, controversial but unnecessary.

The Air Force tells about how real planes act, just more unnecessary overkill.  The real evidence, some only months old, it was hidden that well, could fill a stadium.  The 9/11 Commission never saw one word of it, not one photo, nothing and were never meant to.  They were chosen well in advance of the attack itself even if some or perhaps even all were not aware.

Thus far we have seen only some of the layers, it isn’t hard to fool the American people.  There are still more out there, more deception, like peeling an onion.  Our enemies, which we are chief among, can be clever and, of course, endlessly evil.

Above, in this article, one 4 minute tape closes the book on hijackers, on all of it.  This tape went public on 9/11/2001.  The “movement” had everything it needed that day to close the book on the entire story, proves full governmental complicy, press complicity, “slam dunks” a conspiracy and we had it day one, so clear any idiot could see it.

Yet for years, 9/11 “truthers” as Jonathan Kay, suspected “Mossadnic disinformationist” points out, “Truthers” are “everything but.  Kay is right.  The real criminals were arrested on 9/11.  The news story went national and then the suspects disappeared and “9/11 truth” conveniently forgot to ask about them, the best evidence, unquestionable, “slam dunk,” proof in any court, all conveniently forgotten it seems.

Thousands of scientists, intelligence officers, pilots, more “hangers on” but not one $60 buck an hour lawyer.  Had anyone ever filed a writ of habeas corpus on the two suspects arrested on the bridge, there would have been no wars, Bush and his entire administration would be in prison, awaiting execution or buried.

We wonder why g-d invented hip boots.

The Book the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read is a Book Everyone Must Read (truth11.com)

http://truth11.com/2012/04/24/the-book-the-government-doesnt-want-you-to-read-is-a-book-everyone-must-read/ which has this to say:

“A Surreal Journey into the Heart of the Beast Called the Police State

In this startling new memoir, Sibel Edmonds—the most classified woman in U.S. history—takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded. Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public’s right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable. With U.S. citizens increasingly stripped of their rights in a calibrated media blackout, Edmonds’ story is a wake-up call for all Americans who, willingly or unwillingly, traded liberty for illusive security in the wake of 9/11.”

Global Police State: You Are All Suspects Now, What Are You Going To Do About It?


From Sott.net, by John Pilger,  johnpilger.com , an article on loss of civil liberties and freedom of speech. We have all become “the usual suspects”!

You are all potential terrorists. It matters not that you live in Britain, the United States, Australia or the Middle East. Citizenship is effectively abolished. Turn on your computer and the US Department of Homeland Security‘s National Operations Center may monitor whether you are typing not merely “al-Qaeda”, but “exercise”, “drill”, “wave”, “initiative” and “organisation”: all proscribed words. The British government’s announcement that it intends to spy on every email and phone call is old hat. The satellite vacuum cleaner known as Echelon has been doing this for years. What has changed is that a state of permanent war has been launched by the United States and a police state is consuming western democracy.
What are you going to do about it?
In Britain, on instructions from the CIA, secret courts are to deal with “terror suspects”. Habeas Corpus is dying. The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that five men, including three British citizens, can be extradited to the US even though none except one has been charged with a crime. All have been imprisoned for years under the 2003 US/UK Extradition Treaty which was signed one month after the criminal invasion of Iraq. The European Court had condemned the treaty as likely to lead to “cruel and unusual punishment”. One of the men, Babar Ahmad, was awarded 63,000 pounds compensation for 73 recorded injuries he sustained in the custody of the Metropolitan Police. Sexual abuse, the signature of fascism, was high on the list. Another man is a schizophrenic who has suffered a complete mental collapse and is in Broadmoor secure hospital; another is a suicide risk. To the Land of the Free, they go — along with young Richard O’Dwyer, who faces 10 years in shackles and an orange jump suit because he allegedly infringed US copyright on the internet.
As the law is politicised and Americanised, these travesties are not untypical. In upholding the conviction of a London university student, Mohammed Gul, for disseminating “terrorism” on the internet, Appeal Court judges in London ruled that “acts… against the armed forces of a state anywhere in the world which sought to influence a government and were made for political purposes” were now crimes. Call to the dock Thomas Paine, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela.
What are you going to do about it?
The prognosis is clear now: the malignancy that Norman Mailer called “pre fascist” has metastasized. The US attorney-general, Eric Holder, defends the “right” of his government to assassinate American citizens. Israel, the protege, is allowed to aim its nukes at nukeless Iran. In this looking glass world, the lying is panoramic. The massacre of 17 Afghan civilians on 11 March, including at least nine children and four women, is attributed to a “rogue” American soldier. The “authenticity” of this is vouched by President Obama himself, who had “seen a video” and regards it as “conclusive proof”. An independent Afghan parliamentary investigation produces eyewitnesses who give detailed evidence of as many as 20 soldiers, aided by a helicopter, ravaging their villages, killing and raping: a standard, if marginally more murderous US special forces “night raid”.
Take away the videogame technology of killing – America’s contribution to modernity – and the behaviour is traditional. Immersed in comic-book righteousness, poorly or brutally trained, frequently racist, obese and led by a corrupt officer class, American forces transfer the homicide of home to faraway places whose impoverished struggles they cannot comprehend. A nation founded on the genocide of the native population never quite kicks the habit. Vietnam was “Indian country” and its “slits” and “gooks” were to be “blown away.
The blowing away of hundreds of mostly women and children in the Vietnamese village of My Lai in 1968 was also a “rogue” incident and, profanely, an “American tragedy” (the cover headline of Newsweek). Only one of 26 men prosecuted was convicted and he was let go by President Richard Nixon. My Lai is in Quang Ngai province where, as I learned as a reporter, an estimated 50,000 people were killed by American troops, mostly in what they called “free fire zones”. This was the model of modern warfare: industrial murder.
Like Iraq and Libya, Afghanistan is a theme park for the beneficiaries of America’s new permanent war: Nato, the armaments and hi-tech companies, the media and a “security” industry whose lucrative contamination is a contagion on everyday life. The conquest or “pacification” of territory is unimportant. What matters is the pacification of you, the cultivation of your indifference.
What are you going to do about it?
The descent into totalitarianism has landmarks. Any day now, the Supreme Court in London will decide whether the WikiLeaks editor, Julian Assange, is to be extradited to Sweden. Should this final appeal fail, the facilitator of truth-telling on an epic scale, who is charged with no crime, faces solitary confinement and interrogation on ludicrous sex allegations. Thanks to a secret deal between the US and Sweden, he can be “rendered” to the American gulag at any time. In his own country, Australia, prime minister Julia Gillard has conspired with those in Washington she calls her “true mates” to ensure her innocent fellow citizen is fitted for his orange jump suit just in case he should make it home. In February, her government wrote a “WikiLeaks Amendment” to the extradition treaty between Australia and the US that makes it easier for her “mates” to get their hands on him. She has even given them the power of approval over Freedom of Information searches – so that the world outside can be lied to, as is customary.
What are you going to do about it?

Global Warming Hotheads Inflamed About Skeptical Challengers


This article, under the prefix “Hellfire and Heresy:”, is from Larry Bell, ‘Forbes.com’.  It brings together a lot of information about the politics, policies and attitudes of personnel actively involved in the promotion of the global warming movement. Revealing a lot of fiery rhetoric and display of extremely bad manners, often associated with defending the indefensible.

An overview of the present state of the ‘art’, normally referred to as ‘science’. However, the science has not been included here, only how it has been left behind, together with the ‘truth’, distorted, mutilated or ignored.

Nobel Physics laureate Ivar Giaever has called global warming (now “climate change”) a “new religion”. Its temple is built on grounds of faith rather than scientific foundations.

Author Michael Crichton articulated the essence of this creed in a 2003 speech whereby “There’s an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with Nature; there’s a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result from eating from the tree of knowledge; and as a result of our actions, there is a judgment day coming for all of us. We are energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment, just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs imbibe.”

It seems the deepest, hottest pit of fossil-fueled climate change hell is reserved for crisis “deniers”. These are the heretics who have either turned their backs on true villainy of human climate sin, or worse, are its evil agents.

An article written by Forbes contributor Steve Zwick last month charges the latter. Moreover, he called for retribution, venting: “We know who the active denialists are–not the people who buy the lies, mind you, but the people who create the lies. Let’s start keeping track of them now, and when the famines come, let’s make them pay. Let’s let their houses burn. Let’s swap their safe land for submerged islands. Let’s force them to bear the cost of rising food prices. They broke the climate. Why should the rest of us have to pay for it?”

After his article ignited a firestorm of inflamed reader responses, Steve has subsequently posted a second one clarifying that it wasn’t really his wish to incite burning of skeptical households. And it’s unlikely that most ever saw that as his literal intent. I certainly understand that opinion columns, very much including mine, should often be expected to present controversial viewpoints that provoke reflection and commentary. No doubt, he clearly accomplished that.

Environmental blog author Mark Lynas has expressed a similarly harsh moral view of climate crisis skeptics: “I wonder what sentences judges might hand down at future international criminal tribunals on those who are partially but directly responsible for millions of deaths from starvation, famine and disease in decades ahead. I put this in a similar moral category to Holocaust denial-except that this time the Holocaust is yet to come, and we still have time to avoid it. Those who try to ensure we don’t will one day have to answer for their crimes.”

The horrifically offensive Holocaust/climate denier conflation has come to be indelibly inculcated into the attack lexicon through repeated references. For example, when television commentator Scott Pelly was asked in a March 23, 2006 CBS PublicEye blog post why he didn’t interview anyone who didn’t agree that global warming is a threat, he compared scientists who are skeptical about human-caused catastrophic climate change to Holocaust deniers: “If I do an interview with [Holocaust survivor] Elie Wiesel, am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?”

David Roberts, a regular contributor to Grist, a prominent environmental news and commentary blog site, carried the denier Holocaust theme even farther. Referring to the “denial industry”, he stated that we should have “war crime trials for these bastards—some sort of Nuremberg.”

UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chairman, Rajendra Pachuri, even went beyond the Holocaust to compare the views of global warming crisis skeptics with those of Hitler himself. Referring to the well-known skeptic Bjorn Lombord, Pachuri stated, “What is the difference between Lomborg’s views on humans and Hitler’s? You cannot treat people like cattle.”

Another broadly applied denigration strategy is to accuse skeptical scientists and organizations of having nefarious financial ties to “evil” special interest sponsors, most particularly, being in the pockets of Big Oil companies.  An example is Al Gore’s claim in a Rolling Stones article last year that: “Polluters and Ideologues are financing pseudoscientists whose job it is to manufacture doubt about what is true and false [and] ….spending hundreds of millions of dollars each year on misleading advertisements in the mass media.”

Al didn’t happen to mention, however,  that his alarmist Alliance for Climate Protection organization reportedly netted more than $88 million in 2008, that the Natural Resources Defense Council took in more than $95 million in 2011 operating revenues, or that the World Wildlife Fund raised more than $238 million last year. Nor did he call attention to his Generation Investment Management hedge fund that realizes huge profits from investors in government subsidized “green” projects.

But Gore hasn’t been the least bit reticent about taking high-profile positions in support of personally lucrative cap-and-trade legislation and alternative energy subsidies. Speaking before a 2007 U.S. Joint House Energy and Science Committee, he enthused: “As soon as carbon has a price, you’re going to see a wave of investment in it–there will be unchained investment.”

Yes, what better way to reduce evil carbon than to make it a profitable commodity?

Some bent on linking climate crisis skeptics to greedy corporate agendas have reverted to the desperation tactic of fabricating such evidence. A recent incident involved noted climate skeptic critic Peter Gleick who, ironically, chaired the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Task force on Scientific Ethics. Gleick illegally obtained confidential materials including financial sponsorship documents from the conservative Heartland Institute. He then publicly distributed them along with a forged document which falsely reported a $200,000 contribution from the Koch Foundation along with other intentionally misleading claims.

In reality, Heartland had received only $25,000 from Koch interests over an entire ten year period to help support a health care newsletter. None of that money was either intended or used for their climate-related research and information services. The organization had received no funding from Exxon or other petroleum companies.

Al Gore’s assertion that climate alarm skeptics, motivated by prurient interests, are “manufacturing doubt about what is true and false” ignores a far different reality. Most of that media climate reporting emanates from tax-supported government and university climate scientists whose jobs depend upon stoking alarm-fueled funding pots.

Disquieting and costly consequences of this circumstance have become apparent through Freedom of Information Act exposure of scandalous e-mail exchanges between international researchers within the U.K.’s University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) network. Many of these communications clearly reveal that top IPCC scientists consciously misrepresented and actively withheld vitally important information …then attempted to prevent discovery. As Myron Ebell, Director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center on Energy and Environment observes stated: “Several of the new e-mails show that the scientists involved in doctoring the IPCC reports are very aware that the energy-rationing policies that their junk science is meant to support would cost trillions of dollars.”

In one e-mail, a scientist warned: “It is inconceivable that policymakers will be willing to make billion-and trillion-dollar decisions for adaptation to the projected regional climate change based on models that do not even describe and simulate the processes that are the building blocks of climate variability.” Another admits: “…clearly, some tuning or very good luck [is] involved.  I doubt the modeling world will be able to get away with this much longer.” Still another modeler complained: “Mike, the Figure you sent is very deceptive — there have been a number of dishonest presentations of model results by individual authors and by IPCC …”

Of course climate model projections are fatally compromised from the get-go when based upon poor global temperature records. One e-mail posted by database programmer Ian “Harry” Harris reports: “[The] hopeless state of their [CRU] database. No uniform data integrity. It’s just a catalogue of issues that continues to grow as they’re found…There are hundreds if not thousands of pairs of dummy [surface temperature recording] stations…and duplicates…Aarrggghh! There truly is no end in sight. This project is such a MESS. No wonder I needed therapy!!”

One key source of that data is NASA’s Goddard Institute of Climate Science (GISS), headed by the Father of Fright, James Hansen. For example, on December 6, 2005 Hansen stated that the Earth’s climate was already reaching a tipping point that will result in the loss of Arctic ice as we know it, with sea levels rising as much as 80 feet during this century (40 times higher than even the upper end of the most recent IPCC summary report has projected), thus flooding coastal areas.

A GISS researcher confessed in an e-mail that “[the United States Historical Climate Network] data are not routinely kept up-to-date, and in another that NASA had inflated its temperature data since 2000 on a questionable basis. “NASA’s assumption that the adjustments made the older data consistent with future data…may not have been correct.”

Under Hansen’s influence, irresponsible GISS performance has been a long-term embarrassment to many at NASA who believe it reflects very badly upon its public reputation. This concern prompted 49 former NASA scientists and astronauts to send a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on April 10, admonishing the agency for its role in advocating a high degree of certainty that man-made CO2 is a major cause of climate change, while neglecting basic empirical evidence that calls the theory into question.

The group, which includes seven Apollo astronauts and two former directors of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, are dismayed over the failure of NASA, particularly GISS, to make an objective assessment of all available scientific data on climate change. They charge that NASA is relying too heavily upon complex climate models that have proven to be scientifically inadequate for climate predictions as little as one or two decades in advance.

Senator John Kerry, who civil servant Hansen had famously endorsed for his 2004 presidential run, recently lamented a political climate change regarding what he referred to as “the flat-Earth caucus” of global warming skeptics, saying: “Even amid the ‘Tuesday Group’…a bi-partisan block of lawmakers, mostly Democrats, who are interested in energy issues… you can’t talk about climate now.  People just turn off. It’s extraordinary. Only for national security and jobs will they open their minds.”

More and more Americans no longer buy that indictment. Nor, apparently, do many Democrat senators who are currently facing hot challenges from skeptical cooler-headed opponents.
