Nature Magazine, the international weekly journal of science, is at it again. In the 1940’s the magazine published opinion pieces in support of purging Jews from academia. Now they run opinion pieces in defense of Al Gore’s scam. Normal people recognize that the East-Anglia emails prove, beyond any shadow of doubt, that climatologists and politicians are the scum of the earth, conspiring to rob the rest of us to the benefit of their own cash flow. Now, make sure you are sitting down, the significance of the emails according to Nature is that:

1. They were obtained “unethically.”
2. They prove that scientists are human.
3. They demonstrate that scientists are smart.
4. They demonstrate that normal people are ignorant boobs.
5. They are a call for decent people to support the East-Anglia fascists!
6. They prove that “something is happening”
7. You must give your money to poor people and scientists, or something.
8. The “denialists” must be defeated!
9. Scientists should avoid getting caught.
10. The scam must go on.

This opinion piece in Nature falls into the “as the stomach turns” category.

Climatologists under pressure

Stolen e-mails have revealed no scientific conspiracy, but do highlight ways in which climate researchers could be better supported in the face of public scrutiny.

The e-mail archives stolen last month from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (UEA), UK, have been greeted by the climate-change-denialist fringe as a propaganda windfall (see page 551). To these denialists, the scientists’ scathing remarks about certain controversial palaeoclimate reconstructions qualify as the proverbial ’smoking gun’: proof that mainstream climate researchers have systematically conspired to suppress evidence contradicting their doctrine that humans are warming the globe.

Watch a master demagogue in action as the Leader tells “his people” that he does not want to run the auto industry, even as he details how he will run it. He will appoint his friends to the Board of Directors. He will dictate engineering criteria (green). He will decide how many plants to close but not which ones (his Board appointees will ensure “friendly plants stay open”). He will hire, fire and set executive salaries (witness the firing of Rick Wagoner as CEO of General Motors and the AIG clawback of earned bonuses). He will select automobile colors (white reduces “climate change”).  Other than that, he will stay out of the way!

Barack Obama took his wife out on a $20,000 date in New York City. Some Conservatives are upset over that. Compared to trillions of dollars for banking fees, medical bills and “climate change” regulations, jointly known as TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program), this ain’t much. For good measure, Obama threw some change into the Auto Workers Union’s tip jar,  bringing the total amount of funds pledged to the auto industry to $110 billion. To be fair, the Bush administration started the bailouts rolling, but against the lofty new standards the Bushies come across as down right miserly.

On Monday, the Obama regime committed $30 billion to General Motors as it filed for bankruptcy. The additional $30 billion brings the government’s contribution to General Motors’ “former employee health and pension fund” to $50.7 billion (read ProPublica’s report). Separately, the regime committed $15.5 billion to Chrysler. GMAC and Chrysler Financial Services have received pledges of $14 billion. $3.5 billion will go to General Motors part suppliers and $1.5 billion for Chrysler auto suppliers. Read more >

A license to print money has definite advantages. The Obama administration understands the power of the minting press. They have embarked on an unparalleled feeding frenzy and have invited all their friends to the trough. If you are not a fanatic Obamanation cult member, you don’t even get to eat the crumbs under the table. No matter how many new dollar bills they print, you get bubkas.

Newt Gingrich identifies some winners and losers in Obama’s remade America.

Are You an Obama Winner? Or an Obama Loser?
by  Newt Gingrich
05/06/2009

If there was one feeling that inspired almost a million Americans to come out for the Tax Day Tea Parties last month it was this:  That our government, supposedly created of the people, by the people and for the people, is busy picking winners and losers.

The feeling that our politics are increasingly rigged against us didn’t begin with President Obama.  Deciding to bailout Wall Street rather than let deserving companies go bankrupt began under President Bush.

But the Obama Administration has elevated rewarding some Americans and punishing others to a governing philosophy.

And as he has expanded the size and the scope of government, President Obama has only increased his ability to reach into our businesses, our communities, and even our homes to separate Americans into two groups:  Those who will benefit from the new order, and those who will pay the bills.

What follows is just a partial list of the winners and losers of the Obama Administration so far, organized by the government policies that will decide their fate: Read more >

Mark Steyn has been forced to defend himself against charges of hate speech in three provinces of the Dominion for publishing statistics about Islam and Muslims. His thought provoking book, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, contains a wealth of useful demographic data. The book is a best seller in the United States. In Canada you have to search the dark corners at the back of the store to find it and in Britain it is outlawed. Steyn’s thesis is disturbing to a culture that rgularly runs television ads demanding “DIVERSITY NOW!” If you missed the book, you can get a synopsis, or perhaps just a slice, of the relevant demographics by watching the video above. There is no attribution to Mark Steyn, but there most likely should be. The religious twist at the end is an improvisation by the video producer.

An impressive array of intellectuals and activists participated in an international conference on the collapse of Europe, the rise of Islam and the consequences to the Untited States. The conference was held on June 10-11, 2007 at Pepperdine University. It was organized by American Freedom Alliance and Council for Democracy and Tolerance.

The conference list of panelists included Mark Steyn, author of America Alone (best book of 2006), Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ex-Muslim member of Dutch parliament and author of Infidel, Hugh Hewitt, radio talk show host and author of Blog and A Mormon in the White House, Daniel Pipes, Director of Middle East Forum, and Ibn Warraq, ex-Muslim author of Defending the West and Why I Am Not a Muslim.

Mark Steyn explained multiculturalism with typical humor.

The list of things you can’t say about Obama is slowly growing to cover pretty much everything. Now his nuts, as well as his ears, are out of bounds. The man seems to have a Liberal/Islamist exemption from criticism card. If you want to see Chris Methews (PMSNBC) foaming at the mouth, claim that:

• Many of Obama’s friends are Islamists, terrorists, communists, or regular crooks.
• Obama sympathizes with terrorists, believes that “no one has suffered like the Palestinian people,” and he lies to deceive Jewish voters.
• Obama was born and is culturally Muslim, and he lies to deceive Christian voters.
• Obama became a hard core Communist on the streets of Chicago, hanging with the likes of Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright and Michelle ‘My Bell’ Obama.

Algore made a fortune sitting on the Boards of Apple and Google. In celebration of the Goracle’s Nobel Peace Prize, Apple put up the following announcement on their home page:

Al has put his heart and soul, and much of his life during the past several years, into alerting and educating (lying to, Ed.) us all on climate crisis. We are bursting with pride for Al and this historic recognition of his global contributions.

Evidently, Apple Inc. has not heard that at least 50% of Americans dislike Algore viscerally. To let them know how you feel about Algore’s carbon-credits scheme click here. For a good laugh check out the Foundation Against Temperature Change Outside (FATCO) here.

Giving Algore an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Nobel, for one lousy science fiction film, proves, beyond doubt, that much of the world has gone mad. Fortunately, there are still some sane voices.

Not everyone is celebrating Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming efforts. Retired climatologist Timothy Ball tells Cybercast News Service that Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is a wonderful piece of propaganda that relies on visual imagery and gimmickry.

Earlier this week a British judge ruled that the movie had at least nine major errors and could not be shown to students without balancing information. Thursday, the BBC alleged that Gore knew his movie presented false facts, but was afraid any uncertainty would fuel global warming skeptics.

Sure, anybody can control temperatures inside, but what about outside? Outside is much bigger than inside and many people spend at least part of their day there. Temperature change outside can inconvenience millions of people. Women, minorities, and the poor are hit particularly hard. Politicians have been ignoring the phenomena, pretending that it does not exist, even though temperature change is settled science. Pretty much all scientists agree that temperature change is real. There is a consensus, except for Joe Sacrilege, Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Rio Linda University. Crazy Joe, as his friends call him, is a temperature change denier.

Since each degree of global temperature change inflicts a measurable amount of suffering, we have decided to organize the Foundation Against Temperature Change Outside (FATCO). The goal of the Foundation will be to increase the level of awareness of temperature change and take concrete steps to reduce temperature change by one degree every ten years. FATCO will establish a temperature change misery index, modeled after the Jimmy Carter misery index. The index will show people at a glance the degree of suffering they will experience if they step outside. Some FATCO insiders have suggested that the index should be called “thermometer”. Perhaps, we’ll see.

Arguably the most articulate politician in America today, Newt Gingrich, will be joining the race to become the Republican nominee for President. His announcement is conditional on raising $30 million to finance the campaign, but the current selection of candidates is so unsatisfactory to the Conservative base that he should have no problem raising the money.

The Saudi world conquest initiative is progressing smoothly. More mosques are popping up in the West, churches are burned down in the East, and fear grips the hearts of Infidels everywhere. Mark Steyn illuminates the Saudi strategy on the legal front.

How will we lose the war against “radical Islam”?

Well, it won’t be in a tank battle. Or in the Sunni Triangle or the caves of Bora Bora. It won’t be because terrorists fly three jets into the Oval Office, Buckingham Palace and the Basilica of St. Peter’s on the same Tuesday morning.

The war will be lost incrementally because we are unable to reverse the ongoing radicalization of Muslim populations in South Asia, Indonesia, the Balkans, Western Europe and, yes, North America. And who’s behind that radicalization? Who funds the mosques and Islamic centers that in the last 30 years have set up shop on just about every Main Street around the planet?

For the answer, let us turn to a fascinating book called Alms For Jihad: Charity And Terrorism In The Islamic World by J. Millard Burr, a former USAID relief coordinator, and the scholar Robert O. Collins. Can’t find it in your local Barnes & Noble? Never mind, let’s go to Amazon. Everything’s available there. And sure enough, you’ll come through to the Alms For Jihad page and find a smattering of approving reviews from respectably torpid publications: “The most comprehensive look at the web of Islamic charities that have financed conflicts all around the world,” according to Canada’s Globe And Mail, which is like The New York Times but without the jokes.
