TSA – Security Theater

Monday, November 15th, 2010

This has to be one of the best articles I’ve read on the subject of the total ineffectiveness of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at airport security.  Whether you want to believe it or not, they haven’t helped security one bit.  However, they’ve certainly made a once proud nation of jet-setters into an efficient police state.

Read “The Things He Carried” from The Atlantic magazine.

Addendum: Just for those that scoff, security can be done right at the airport, without the need for a police state mentality.

Addendum2: This story has to be one of the worst.  How long are we going to put up with these Nazi tactics?

Addendum3: Read these accounts filed with the ACLU.  The TSA has become a government sponsored rape squad!

BP Oil Spill

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

I’ve been trying to come up with some kind of assessment of this mess in my head, but the news seems to change with the wind and there is so much information to process on it, that I still feel like I’m floundering around without direction. Perhaps an apt metaphor might be, that I feel like a sea bird in an oil spill.

The situation is certainly worse than what is being stated and eyewitness reports from those not associated with BP are saying as much.  BP proves time and again that they are lying sacks of horse manure, with no integrity of any measurable kind.

Still, with the deluge of data, I can’t seem to come up with a distinct and succinct way to verbalize my assessment of it all.  I guess I’m suffering writer’s block.

Thankfully, Washington’s Blog has managed to write an article on the subject, rife with links to all the data, to save me from my current stupefied verbal impotence.  It manages beautifully to summarize the situation and all that is wrong with it.

The Science is Settled, the Debate is Over

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

The Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming is still trying their damnedest to keep the global warming hype running, but Europe especially (where the press coverage isn’t stifled on the subject) and now the US isn’t buying their bullshit anymore.

Congress shot down the cap and trade legislation that Obama so dearly wanted, postponing the bill indefinitely in the Senate and until 2017 in the House.

Further issues being dug up in the Climategate emails have shown the “science” behind the entire global warming industry to be utterly false.  In fact, it is fair at this point, with all the evidence at hand, to state that those involved at the core of the movement purposely lied about all of the proposed crisis and that most of the actual data and their models used for climate prediction are completely wrong. Furthermore, there is direct evidence of a corruption of the peer review process, black-balling any study or paper which conflicted with the desired global warming hype.

The most telling of the hard data released so far, is what is referred to as the “Readme Harry” document, which describes the painstaking attempt by a programmer to make sense of nonsensical data.  There is so much in this 247 page document that it’s hard to take it all in at one sitting, but many have done just that and broke down the results.

Flopping Aces covers the Readme Harry document specifically, and Small Dead Animals has a slew of useful links on the document and related material.

For those who want to read the document themselves, find it here or here

I have long doubted the stupidity regurgitated ad nauseum from the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming, as I’ve called them – but this finalizes my stance.  Those pushing the global warming agenda are religionists, with the same asinine mentality of anyone following a faith.  No logic, evidence or examination is allowed in their belief system and so I will discard it like any other superstitious nonsense.

My fear at this point, is that the damage is going to be so overwhelming to the scientific community in general, that it will undermine all branches of science – creating an unhealthy, over-reactive public rejection of science itself. Science as a discipline ends up crucified by the actions of a global warming cult.

As if we didn’t have enough religious stupidity trying to drag us back into the Dark Ages as it was.

On a humorous side note, Micheal Mann, creator of the infamously flawed and utterly debunked “hockey stick” graph, has threatened to sue Minnesotans for Global Warming (M4GW), over a parody video they made, called “Hide the Decline”, aired on Youtube.com.  (I won’t post a link here, because it comes and goes.  Just search for it on Youtube.)

No Cap and Trade, which came to M4GW’s defense, actually desires the lawsuit to come, because it would force Mann to release his data under full disclosure to the court.

Magical CO2

Monday, July 13th, 2009

It has long been predicted how the Church of Global Warming (CoGW) would be changing their shrill call from "global warming" to "climate change", as the Earth ignores their constantly failing computer models of rampant warming. The amazing, magical trace gas CO2 will now change climates around the world in every direction, to the point that every aberration from the norm will be blamed on man, instead of nature. After all, climates never changed on this planet before man was around.

This article from the BBC News marks another data point, which shows the CoGW (including the lap dog media) for the ignorant fraud they’re pushing. The article is over the recent rash of children dying from respiratory disease, due to the freezing temperatures that Peru is experiencing, three months earlier than normal.

This quote says it all…
 

"Experts blame climate change for the early arrival of intense cold which began in March."
 

What I find the most hilarious about this statement, is not just how crazy the claim is from a crowd hell bent on convincing us that we’re all going to boil away. It is the hypocrisy that makes me laugh. Anytime a single event is brought up by those who don’t buy this load of anthropogenic global warming bullshit, the CoGW screams from the rafters that you cannot take a single event, or even a single year’s trend, and claim that this is indicative of climate change of any kind. Yet, here they are, taking a single event and doing exactly that.

Just like a church, alright. I wonder how long it will be, before Gore is given the title of Saint?

By the way, BBC. Just who are the "experts" you’re referring to here? Not even a single attributed source and we’re supposed to just believe this statement?

 

The Big Takeover

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

This article in the Rolling Stone, by Matt Taibbi – is well worth the read.  If you’ve been confused by the economic insanity of late, this article will clear things up quickly.

Tax and Spend

Friday, March 13th, 2009

As if the recent $787 billion stimulus spending wasn’t enough to make you understand that Obama is farting your great-great-great-great grandschildren’s money away, perhaps the recent, quietly signed, pork laden $410 billion spending bill will wake you up as to how far we’ve been had by our Charlatan in Chief.  This bill including billions in earmarks, which Obama previously promised to curb.

Among the most egregious actions of this signing, was President Obama’s “sighing statement” on the act, which he has heavily criticised President Bush for doing.

Different President, same shit.

At least the American public is starting to wake up from the spell of his rhetoric.
