Greenpeace's Patrick Moore Is Destroying His Creation

“A kind of nasty combination of extreme political ideology and a religious cult all rolled into one,…”

Crack's iTunes (On Al Gore's Docking Station)

"'The needs of the sex poodle outweigh the needs of the few, or the many.'



Al Gore, Commander, Spaceship Earth."

So Shannon Love thinks Al Gore's taste in music is "pathetic"? Folks, when it comes to NewAgers, it's all "been there, done that" around here.

I mean, really - y'all's laaate.

We're waaay past the music thing. Now we're up to asking how much money have we been (or are we) wasting on Big Green Al's Big Green Gloat Ride?

And I mean all of it?

Let's say The New York Times reported "recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America: a waste of time and money, a waste of human and natural resources." Why would we keep doing it? What are the implications of, y'know, stopping?

And what else can we stop doing?

What else should be stopped?

Eurodisco? Actually, I'd vote for that.



And who at Greenpeace thought that was a good idea? Or this:



Look, I like Trance as much as the next head, but this NewAge shit is wrong (you knew I was going to get there, didn't you?) and it all should be stopped. That's some positively evil shit.

And I'm sorry for wanting validation for this blog's premise so much but, in the beginning, I caught that same kind of hell seen in those videos (and from the newly-christened "Birkenstock Tribe") for pursuing these topics (just as I caught hell for liking Queen while living in the ghetto) and I'm not just going to sweep that behavior under the rug:

First, friends and foes alike told me to stop because (friends) NewAge is "too big" for me to have any affect against it, plus I'll never defeat it because (foes) the believers are always right, and I'm a conservative "man" and our time was over. Like the Blues.

On top of those warnings, this blog was ripped down, twice, by saboteurs, so there's more-than-a-little bit of pride in there for me to carry on until everyone understands what I'm getting at, regarding it's effect on the larger society. I mean, if I wasn't on to something (instead of on something) why would anybody go to those lengths to stop little ol' Punk Rock me? I'll tell you why: because they're afraid. They're afraid that, just like in Alice In Wonderland, at some point the rest of you are going to say "Pooh!" and reduce their whole outlook to a bunch of worthless cards.

O.K., I'm ranting about my own shit again, when I'd rather re-examine Byron York's last two paragraphs of Molly Hagerty's accusations against Al Gore:

"Then, abruptly, the former vice president changed tone. It was 'as though he had very suddenly switched personalities,' she recalled, 'and began in a pleading tone, pleading for release of his second chakra there.'

'Chakra,' in Gore's new-agey jargon, refers to the body's 'energy centers,' which the masseuse interpreted as having a specific meaning. 'This was yet another euphemism for sexual activity he was requesting,' she told police, 'put cleverly as though it were a spiritual request or something."

Now, where did Al pick up such Hindu language as that? We know that Gore has lately spent a lot of time with the man he shares his Nobel Prize with, Rajendra Pachauri. What most people don't know is that Rajendra Pachauri has a little "second chakra" release problem himself, having published:

"A soft-core pornographic novel. (The main character is an aging environmentalist and engineer engaged in a 'spiritual journey' that includes meeting Shirley MacLaine, detailed explorations of the Kama Sutra, and group sex.)"

Sounds interesting. Pure Energy. No, actually, it sounds tired - and didn't I tell you, a long time ago, that "energy" in NewAge jargon was used for sex? Didn't I even give you examples of how it's used?



Now that Molly Hagerty has admitted "This was yet another euphemism for sexual activity", you might want to ask yourself - what else is just blithely flying by the average person? I'll tell you: tons of stuff. It might as well be german rap music.



And don't forget the rules of how these NewAgers - filled as they are with such integrity - have played the game:

Pachauri claimed that anyone who questioned his take on AGW (and, I think, reality in general) was practicing "voodoo science" (Gore, as well as others who should know better, said we were the same as Holocaust deniers) which is a nice attempt at turning the tables on "voodoo science", huh?

Poor Al Gore. The more I think about it, that Shannon Love just might be right:

I mean, Al Gore is the type that probably never really listened to Jazz, right?

Not if he's listening to Pink. He's not mature enough. Not to "get" it.

"You must remember this: a kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by,..."

You Can Believe What You Want To Believe

Well now, let's not mince words:

"The doctor at the centre of the MMR vaccine controversy has been struck off after being accused of ‘callously disregarding’ vulnerable children.

Andrew Wakefield, 53, whose research claimed there was a link between autism and the measles, mumps and rubella jab, was yesterday branded dishonest, misleading and irresponsible by the General Medical Council.

He has been banned from practising in Britain after being found guilty of more than 30 charges of serious professional misconduct.

In the longest, most expensive hearing in its 148-year history, the GMC accused the doctor of ‘bringing the medical profession into disrepute’.

The five-strong panel, which began its investigation in July 2007, concluded Dr Wakefield had behaved unethically and ‘abused his position of trust as a medical practitioner’."

So much for the "science" holding up Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey.

Or rather, Jenny McCarthy.

I forgot she and Jim broke up.

It just got too crazy.

Awww, so sad.

That also means NewAgers, like Suzanne Somers and Oprah Winfrey, take another hit in Ye Ol' Credibility Dept. as well.

Whoda thunk it, huh?

And let's not forget when Chiropractic was put through it's paces:

"A respected science writer yesterday won his gruelling libel battle over the right to criticise what he calls 'bogus' science.

The British Chiropractic Association has dropped its defamation case against Dr Simon Singh  -  who has spent £200,000 fighting the legal action and says he has been put through 'two years of hell'.

Campaigners hailed it as a victory for freedom of speech."

Which was right around the same time homeopathy, appropriately enough, was laughed out of it's own hearing:

"It's hard to say which is more ridiculous: the sight of a grown man speaking this nonsense, or the fact that after 200 years homeopaths apparenly haven't bothered to 'fully investigate' how much shaking is required for their remedies to work. And yet, bizarrely, these people expect to be taken seriously.

In this they have failed spectacularly. The select committee report has brutally inflicted the 21st, 20th and 19th centuries on this 18th century magic ritual, and under inspection it has fallen apart."

Meanwhile, Salon.com's Joan Walsh is, kinda sorta, sorry she said something, kinda sorta, saying:

"I'm coming to regret using the term 'racist' about the Tea Party."

Say it ain't so! And I'm finding it's becoming easier and easier to find other women are, finally, standing up and screaming:

"Why!? Why!? This is your fault! Take responsibility, you crazy woman! Why!?"

That was totally unheard of just a few years ago. But you really can't beat this great quote from our friends at Greenpeace:

"Legitimacy has shifted to the side of the climate skeptics, and that is a big, big problem."

Yea, yea, "big problem".

Tell me, my cultish compadre - do you get the feeling something's been lost?

"Italian police reportedly unearthed hidden dossiers on 'enemies' during a raid on Church of Scientology offices in Turin.

The files, apparently discovered behind locked doors in a basement office, allegedly contained personal information on judges, police officers and journalists identified as hostile to the Church.

Details on former Church members who have turned against Scientology were also reportedly recovered from handwritten files and computer records seized following a nine-hour search of the premises."

Like people might be putting your cons together, and maybe catching on?

"Jim Jones was a power player in Bay Area politics and thereby a player in national Democratic Party politics. Local politicians and activists benefited from the slave labor that he could provide on little notice to people political rallies and hand out campaign literature. In gratitude, Moscone appointed him chairman of San Francisco’s housing authority and Willie Brown likened Jones, a man who would eventually kill more African-Americans than any Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, to Martin Luther King, Jr. First lady Rosalyn Carter and her husband’s running mate, Walter Mondale, both met with the cult leader. Jones even appropriated the title of Huey Newton’s book, Revolutionary Suicide, to describe the extermination of his flock (which included several of Newton’s relatives). Once Jonestown’s residents had performed this 'revolutionary suicide,' the wills left behind bequeathed all to the Soviet Union."

You know, seeing the world as it is?

"He was the original guru pop star. Made famous by the Beatles in the 1960s, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was the godfather of the Transcendental Meditation movement, known as TM. He inspired such acolytes as author Deepak Chopra and filmmaker David Lynch, and remained TM’s figurehead until his death in 2008 at the age of 94. The Maharishi was once dubbed 'the giggling guru.' But now it appears he may have been giggling all the way to the bank. David Wants to Fly, a new documentary shown last week at Toronto’s Hot Docs festival, offers compelling evidence that the Maharishi’s empire of enlightenment is more devoted to shaking down its followers and amassing wealth than transcending the material world."

Some are certainly starting to talking like it:

"Even though the Constitution does not include the words 'separation of church and state,' liberals have long treated that concept as a hallowed fundamental doctrine of constitutional law. But no more. With the recent introduction of new Senate cap and trade legislation, ultraliberal supporters Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and others have now completely abandoned that doctrine in their quest to establish global warming dogma as the official, established religion of the United States."

But is anybody else paying attention out there?

I mean, really, this is HUGE:

I'm reversing the trajectory of the planet - with my mind!

Making A Little Room (To Clear The Air)

"When your attempt at recreating the Congress of Vienna with a third-rate cast of extras turns into a shambles, when the data with which you have tried to terrify the world is daily exposed as ever more phoney, when the blatant greed and self-interest of the participants has become obvious to all beholders, when those pesky polar bears just keep increasing and multiplying – what do you do?

No contest: stop issuing three rainforests of press releases every day, change the heading to James Bond-style 'Do not distribute' and 'leak' a single copy, in the knowledge that human nature is programmed to interest itself in anything it imagines it is not supposed to see, whereas it would bin the same document unread if it were distributed openly.

After that, get some unbiased, neutral observer, such as the executive director of Greenpeace, to say: 'This is the single most important piece of paper in the world today.' Unfortunately, the response of all intelligent people will be to fall about laughing,..."

-- Gerald Warner, admitting what the believers don't want the rest of us to know - that the farce of Global Warming has become a nasty-assed fart - but now there's no escaping the stench, even if you get it by The Telegraph.

This Woman Is Stupidity's Exhibit "A"

No society can withstand this level of smugly politicized ignorance, can it? I'm really glad to see this video but, damn, it's depressing to think people - especially those who think they're so damn smart - can be so damn well blithering dumb.

Faith is for idiots.

Another half-thought:

Isn't it wild that this woman can admit - because of her job and other obligations - she hasn't had time to look up the facts for herself, but as we see, somehow, she can make time to stand outside with Greenpeace, attempting to scare the shit out of other people, and telling them what to do?

The fascism is strong in this one,...she would have made a great Nazi prison guard:

"Just following orders,..."

Nature's Natural Nit-wits Need News Now

"Green protesters still pose, somewhat embarrassingly, as radicals on the edge of society who are waging war against uncaring governments and corporations. In truth, they are better seen as the militant wing of the elite itself, as a kind of tambourine-bashing committee which reminds the authorities – sometimes through spectacular stunts – that they must remain true to their promise to curb CO2 emissions, rein in road-building and other forms of development, and re-educate the public about our bad habits of overconsumption. "

Hey Jude, Don't Make It Bad (Wait - Too Late)

"St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, and for 30 years we invoked his name as we opposed ethanol subsidies. So imagine our great, pleasant surprise to see that the world is suddenly awakening to the folly of subsidized biofuels.

All it took was a mere global "food crisis." Last week chief economist Joseph Glauber of the USDA, which has been among Big Ethanol's best friends in Washington, blamed biofuels for increasing prices on corn and soybeans. Mr. Glauber also predicted that corn prices will continue their historic rise because of demand from "expanding use for ethanol."

Even the environmental left, which pushed ethanol for decades as an alternative to gasoline, is coming clean. Lester Brown, one of the original eco-Apostles, wrote in the Washington Post that "it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that food-to-fuel mandates have failed." We knew for sure the tide had turned when Time magazine's recent cover story, "The Clean Energy Myth," described how turning crops into fuel increases both food prices and atmospheric CO2. No one captures elite green wisdom better than Time's Manhattan editors. Can Vanity Fair be far behind?

All we can say is, welcome aboard. Corn ethanol can now join the scare over silicone breast implants and the pesticide Alar as among the greatest scams of the age. But before we move on to the next green miracle cure, it's worth recounting how much damage this,...political machine is doing."

The LQF: Like I Met The Wizard Of Oz

Man, there was so much twisted good news in the paper today, I actually found myself giggling in the street like a madman. And I mean that: I once came out of a nightclub after a night of debauchery (featuring large quantities of acid) and saw a guy wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts - and carrying a baguette - just laughing his ass off. And I wondered: what did he have to be so happy about? Now I know - things were going his way!

The New York Times's Paul Krugman finally noticed The Law of Quantum Failure in the Democratic primaries, admitting "This wasn’t the way things were supposed to play out", as these NewAge-y Democrats suffer from "self-inflicted confusion". How cool is that? Paul fucking Krugman - getting smart after all these years - whoda thunk it? I sincerely don't think the ol' boy can handle what's happening - or his cultish readers - but, from the bottom of my heart (and I do mean the very bottom) I wish them all the best with it.

Staying with the LQF - and the New York Times - a bunch of letter writers took David Brooks to task for his NewAge swing through medieval Europe, with Jerry Becker of Albuquerque, New Mexico, reminding him:

"It is preposterous to view the Middle Ages with such nostalgia. The 'spiritual powers' that led to such great events as the Inquisition and other mass killings of Jews and the Crusades were most certainly influenced by the false interpretation of celestial configurations and misuse of religious and secular power.

To yearn for such a 'faith'-based Arthurian time is naïve. Is this the fantasy world to which conservatives would like to return? Before we wax poetic about the Black Death, we should realize that medieval Europe was a miserable, intolerant place where human life was cheap.

I can certainly think of many other civilizations to wax poetic about, but medieval Europe with its astrological-religious culture is not one of them. The faith-based life of that time serves as a demonstration of how faith can be twisted by those in power or, as we see in the present, those trying to win elections."

Amen, brother. I am with you 100% on that shit. Fuck "ancient teachings" and all the ignorance they represent. Americans, especially, should know better. And David Brooks? Come on.

Lots of people are talking about Steve Martin's turn in the new Tina Fey/Amy Poehler movie, "Baby Mama", where the "wild a crazy guy" plays Fey's "belligerently New Agey entrepreneur" of a boss. The L.A. Times even reminds us Martin's character represents "the we-can-have-it-all types who make life so hard for people" - got that: for other innocent people - now how's that for an LQF endorsement? I told you, The Secret's got nothing on this shit.

The founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, has come out to say there's no proof global warming is caused by humans, which is good news, because - truth be told - I haven't found any either. Law of Quantum Failure, I love you! (Kids, this is about as close to being a "believer" in anything as I get,...)

The astrology-based MoveOn.org finally released their supporter's “Obama in 30 Seconds” commercials and guess what? They're all the same! It's fucking hilarious! (Or you-know-what at work,...) And go check out the one original submission that looks like the makers were on drugs: it's a riot!

I swear, folks, today, it seemed like the whole NewAge world was coming apart at once: Tom Cruise is going back on Oprah (and we all know how well that worked out last time). Wesley Snipes is going to prison - and even the testimonials of his fellow NewAge celebrities couldn't help him - not even Woody fucking Harrelson's! Here's Denzel Washington's:

"Wesley is like a mighty oak tree. Many who know him have witnessed the fruit of his labours. I have sat in his shade and even been protected by his presence."

Wow. That's "deep", Denzel. I'd put that shit right up there with (my old pal) Michael Franti's "You can bomb the world to pieces but you can't bomb it to peace." It's that fucking bad. Why, after that shit, I seriously think I'm gonna put a potted plant through acting school tomorrow.

To fight all that evil Global Warming, you understand,...
