I Want You To Go To Your Window, Lean Out, And Scream At The Top Of Your Lungs "I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore!"

It's been really an eye-opener to discover how much damage not having the "right" attitude, and bit of swearing, can do to one's reputation and influence - throwing a cloak over any and all other accomplishments to the point where, even if one were capable of "saving the planet" (assuming it needed saving) the reaction of most would still be, "Not with that mouth, he won't!"

We can't help but think of this particular aspect of juvenilia after looking at Anthony Watts' assessment of the WikiLeaks cables relating to climate change, where he ends with this:

What really strikes us is the fact that all this Copenhagen/Cancun stuff has nothing to do with the Climate, or saving the World. It’s about political positioning, money, and plain old fascism cult promotion. But as referred before, this is only the tip of the iceberg. More is to come, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re going to be answered about who is behind Climategate, or Al Gore’s Nobel nomination, or the facts behind all the IPCC mess. Stay tuned…

Yea - you read that right:

Plain old fascism cult promotion.

Now, call us narcissistic but, after all these years, and having hardly been shy in our views about what's a cult and what ain't - and having, repeatedly, beat pretty much everyone else blogging (or in other media) to this conclusion in a number of areas - we'd think, by now, our email box (not to mention our phone) would be going crazy with people asking, "How did you know this?" as though talking to a mongoloid Nouriel Roubini about economics.

But nooooooo!

Not only does everybody ignore what we've been saying for years now, nobody else even reacts, like everybody's just been knowing it all along - and openly claiming it - as a matter of course. Or that, now that it's revealed a form of cultism was what this Climate Change bullshit was all about after all, there's no need for any further discussion, is there?

"Oh, it's been discovered that the Global Warming and Climate Change hysteria of the last few years was merely the entire fucking world being led by the nose by lying politicians, and their media accomplices, to blow trillions of dollars on the promotion of some kind of fascistic NewAge environmentalist cult? Very well then - what do you want to do for lunch?"

Move along, nothing more to see here, mister! Sure! Sure! Sure! Whatever you say!

Arrrggghhh!!! It's fucking incredible! This! Is! One! Of! The! Biggest! Fucking! Stories! Of! Our! Time! Forget the WikiLeaks relationship between Vladimir Putin and Silvio Berlusconi now - this blatant attempt to control our minds, as well as our vision of mediated reality, should be the centerpiece of the American journalistic world today!

And, I'm sorry - I'm sorry, I'm sorry - but how does Glenn Reynolds, the great Instapundit, inform his massive public of this nonsensical assault on our very lives, country, sanity, and freedoms? Check this out - and try not to yawn:

A WikiLeaks / Climategate Convergence?

That's it? THAT'S IT? Really? That's all one of the great minds of our time has to say about this? Laws have been written forbidding Americans to buy fucking incandescent light bulbs! The American factory that makes incandescent light bulbs has gone out of business! Is that all they get? The people have been bombarded with useless "green" public service announcements (AKA CULT PROPAGANDA) for years - and that's all they get? Journalists have been hounded by environmental cultists for daring to say this crap doesn't add up - some run out of business - and that's all they get? Are you kidding, Glenn? Please, say it isn't so!?! This is un-American! This - this is insane!

Now you listen to me:

We haven't been able to watch TV without these green cultists telling us what to do! We haven't been able to listen to the radio without these green cultists telling us what to do! We haven't been able to go to the movies without these green cultists telling us what to do! We haven't been able to read a magazine or a newspaper, or even a goddamn comic book without these green cultists telling us what to do! The goddamn Simpson's Movie was on the other night, and all it was, was Lisa-fucking-Simpson posing as a goddamn green cultist telling us what to do! When and where does this goddamn bullshit stop?!?

As someone whose life was destroyed by NewAge cult influence, this may affect us more than the average person, but, my god, it is lunacy what we've been forced to live with since that happened! Doesn't anyone else give a damn? The guy who wrongly lost a bar bet because the other side screamed they supposedly had a "scientific consensus"? The marriage that was destroyed because either the husband or the wife supposedly wasn't trying hard enough to "save the planet"? Look at that photo of the poor Polar Bear, right? The guy who stayed with friends only to be driven mad because of their mindless goddamn environmentalist demands while he stayed over?!? Doesn't anybody care that all that chaos and discord was orchestrated by these environmentalist wacko cultists who knew - from Al Gore on down, they always knew - all of it was over nothing?

We've asked this before, and we're asking it again, and we're going to keep on asking it - no demanding it - until we get a satisfactory answer out of you boobs:

Starting with, say, The Deepak Chopra/Maharishi Caper - what is it going to take to finally get you people to adequately address the vital issue of the continual, and wasteful, influence of post-60s Baby Boomer NewAge fraud on the Western World? Seriously, what in the hell is it going to finally fucking take?

Forget It, Folks: You'll Never See The JournoList (Because You'll Find The John Edwards Scandal)

I think it's amazing I'm the only person writing this, but, since that's the case, I want to make sure I'm on record - for the second time - for getting it out there:

The year-long John Edwards news blackout is what's in the JournoList.

That's what they're hiding. That's why, though many of it's participants, including it's founder, Ezra Klien, say everyone's taking things out of context - and even though Andrew Breitbart has offered $100,000 for the whole archive - no one has stepped up to reveal it's contents in total. What these slimeballs did (and I can call them that, based on what we've seen already) was a crime against the nation - and they know it. That's why they've clammed up, in unison, except to say we don't know what we're talking about.

Well, like ClimateGate, I know a rat when I see one and our last election was facilitated by a whole ship of them - except now it's on fire and, being out to sea from exposure, there's no escape - they must go down with it. So don't hold your breath waiting for these scumbags to come forward because unless, like ClimateGate, somebody involved finally comes to their senses and decides what happened is so wrong it has to be fully known, they ain't talking. You see, they did it for Obama.

And "The One" must be protected at all times.

It's All About Reflexes (Boys Will Be Boys)

I betcha somebody challenged Bret Stephens to "think fast" over at The Wall Street Journal, and he went and wrote this, much too quickly:

"So global warming is dead, nailed into its coffin one devastating disclosure, defection and re-evaluation at a time. Which means that pretty soon we're going to need another apocalyptic scare to take its place."

Hey Bret, if the 2012 prophecy fits the bill - dude, be my NewAge guest. It's been waiting a long, long time for ya, Buddy. A long, long time. Just ask the Mayans. It's science.

Aww, who am I fooling? What's the next hysteria? Is that what I need to ponder, Bret? Is that really the best you got? Look, I'll tell you what the next hysteria is, Son:

My declaring shit an EPIC FAIL.

I have to admit though, BS is usually right on the money when it comes to grab-assing head games,...I'd just really hate to see his reaction, now, if somebody ever invited him to play a set of "hot hands".

As The World (And The Worm) Turns

"Life has become "awful" for Phil Jones. Just a few months ago, he was a man with an enviable reputation: the head of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, an expert in his field and the father of an alarming global temperature curve that apparently showed how the Earth was heating up as a result of anthropogenic global warming.

Those days are now gone.

Nowadays, Jones, who is at the center of the 'Climategate' affair involving hacked CRU emails, needs medication to fall sleep. He feels a constant tightness in his chest. He takes beta-blockers to help him get through the day. He is gaunt and his skin is pallid. He is 57, but he looks much older. He was at the center of a research scandal that hit him as unexpectedly as a rear-end collision on the highway.

His days are now shaped by investigative commissions at the university and in the British Parliament. He sits on his chair at the hearings, looking miserable, sometimes even trembling. The Internet is full of derisive remarks about him, as well as insults and death threats. 'We know where you live,' his detractors taunt.

Jones is finished: emotionally, physically and professionally. He has contemplated suicide several times recently, and he says that one of the only things that have kept him from doing it is the desire to watch his five-year-old granddaughter grow up."

-- Der Spiegel Online

This particular bit sounds awful familiar, don't it? And how about this from me - all the way back in January, 2008:

"A taste of the wonderful future ahead - science corrupted beyond all recognition - because you don't need science when you're 'saving the planet'".

Considering what we know now, even I have to say wow. Think what you'd like but I'm telling you:

A man can learn a lot by merely studying NewAge.

The Heat Is On (And It's Eating Global Warmists)

"[James] Lovelock says the events of the recent months have seen him warming to the efforts of the 'good' climate sceptics: 'What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: "Crumbs, have I made a mistake here?" If you don't have that continuously, you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service, but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours. You need sceptics, especially when the science gets very big and monolithic.'

Lovelock, who 40 years ago originated the idea that the planet is a giant, self-regulating organism – the so-called Gaia theory – added that he has little sympathy for the climate scientists caught up in the UEA email scandal. He said he had not read the original emails – 'I felt reluctant to pry' – but that their reported content had left him feeling 'utterly disgusted'.

'Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science,' he said. 'I'm not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It's the one thing you do not ever do. You've got to have standards.'"

-- Leo Hickman, getting a quote that sounds an awful lot like a certain blogger I know - and know very well - standing up for skeptics, and standards (!) acting as The Guardian.

Just Like Before: You're Going To Feel Like A Fool (Once You Can Finally Get A Grip Again)

"Abandoned neighborhoods. Boarded-up harbor facilities. An oil refinery submerged under several feet of brackish water. The Statue of Liberty slowly sinking into the sea.

'Rising Currents: Projects for New York’s Waterfront,' a new show at the Museum of Modern Art, reflects a level of apocalyptic thinking about this city that we haven’t seen since it was at the edge of financial collapse in the 1970s, a time when muggers roamed freely, and graffiti covered everything."

-- Nicolai Ouroussoff, reminding those of us who are old enough to remember the '70s - an extremely unhinged era, that featured everything from outrageously dumb fashion, and Area 51 conspiracy theories, to fears of "global cooling" - just how stupid this entire line of un-reasoning is, for The New York Times.

You people really ought to stop this. It's like everything you think, today, is a sign of weakness. Your imaginations are being wasted - on disasters that will never come - just like last time. Fear rules your lives.

I've always heard that life runs in cycles, but I never realized how much retardation was a part of that as well,...will we ever learn?

Tusk

"Placing ads won’t prove AGW theory.  The only way to do that would be to produce solid, reproducible results in completely open-source research with transparent data and methodology … which is what we used to call science before AGW advocates hijacked the term to describe religious belief."

-- Ed Morrisey, on the New York Times ads climate "scientists" are planning - to defend global warming - since we've (apparently all) discovered they're really just believers, blowing Hot Air.

As This Story Heats Up (The Planet Cools Down)

"Admit mistakes?  Open up their data?  Change the way the work?  You mean there was something wrong with the way climate science was operating last year?  Is the Times telling us that the climate scientists–on the basis of whose work the whole world is debating complex and far-reaching changes in its economic structure and political governance–were using slipshod and careless procedures that need to be fixed?

Gosh, one has to ask, if these terrible things were going on for such a long time, why didn’t the New York Times notice this earlier on?  Why didn’t the New York Times break this important story back when it was news, rather than lamely sweeping up at the end of the parade?  Could it be that a climate of politically-correct group-think inhibited the editors and reporters at the country’s newspaper of record from recognizing one of the major stories of the decade?"

-- Walter Russell Mead, hitting the group-think nail on the head - not that many will investigate the far-reaching implications of this all-important theme - because, for far too many on this planet, journalists and laymen alike, it would be too embarrassing to admit they've been part of it (and, thus, admit they've been brainwashed by it) so exposing that particular "truth" is probably not seen as being in The American Interest.

But it is,...it is very much.

How Can You Listen To Him After Watching This? There's Absolutely No Basis For What He's Said

"Evidence from a respected scientific body to a parliamentary inquiry examining the behaviour of climate-change scientists, was drawn from an energy industry consultant who argues that global warming is a religion, the Guardian can reveal.

The submission, from the Institute of Physics (IOP), suggested that scientists at the University of East Anglia had cherry-picked data to support conclusions and that key reconstructions of past temperature could not be relied upon.

The Guardian has established that the institute prepared its evidence, which was highly critical of the CRU scientists, after inviting views from Peter Gill, an IOP official who is head of a company in Surrey called Crestport Services.

In an article in the newsletter of the IOP south central branch in April 2008, which attempted to downplay the role carbon dioxide plays in global warming, Gill wrote: 'If you don't "believe" in anthropogenic climate change, you risk at best ridicule, but more likely vitriolic comments or even character assassination. Unfortunately, for many people the subject has become a religion, so facts and analysis have become largely irrelevant.'"

-- David Adam, on a guy who sounds like he gets it - putting believe in quotes is a winning touch - while the bizarre and extremely harmful behavior of believers leaves others scratching their heads, which is no way to act when you're The Guardian.

We Can't Control Nature (But Global Warming)

Hat Tip - and great work by: iOwnTheWorld

The Left Is Learning: Your Heroes Aren't Heroes

"The meltdown of the climate change movement is entering a new phase as the European left turns on the UN climate change office and the IPCC.

When the British press attacked the IPCC, the US media insofar as they noted the British attacks at all, dismissed newspapers like the Telegraph and the Times as right wing outlets — Fox News in print.  What do they say about this latest inconvenient truth: that left wing papers on the Continent increasingly believe that the movement to get a global climate treaty is dead and that the follies, dilettantism and errors of the climate change advocates rather than the churlishness of their critics is to blame?

Nothing.

The blogosphere has shamed some leading US newspapers into paying perfunctory attention to one of the biggest stories in several years.  But there’s still no sign that the US press is ready to pursue this still unfolding story with anything like the determination it deserves.  Until then, Americans will have to rely on the internet to watch this story unfold — and every day that goes on, the mainstream US media lose readers and respect."

-- Walter Russell Mead, discussing the negative reactions in Germany, France, and England to the farce known as Climategate - "the 'biggest scientific scandal in history'” - while our own papers carry on as normal, doing nothing in The American Interest.

A Nice Voice To Protest With

TMR's Honesty Test: Who's The Stupid One Now?

"So 'the vast majority of climate scientists' don't think the debate is over? Someone had better tell the IPCC, Al Gore, the Norwegian Nobel Committee and most of our colleagues in the media, who have long been insisting otherwise--and indeed, who continue to do so.

There are, no doubt, lots of true believers in global warming--not scientists, but people, including many journalists, who have embraced global warmism as a political and quasireligious doctrine based, they have been led to believe, on the authority of science.

Even Phil Jones acknowledges climate science is rife with uncertainty, but global warmism's popularizers refuse to brook any doubt or acknowledge that the 'consensus' they have touted is a sham.

And they used to call us deniers."

-- James Taranto, commenting on an interview with Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, who denies "the debate on climate change is over" for himself or other scientists - making liars and con men of everyone who insisted otherwise - and making it possible for the rest of us to finally relax, and go back to reading The Wall Street Journal.
