Ministry Of Truth: Crackdown Ordered On Climate Change Skeptics

Ministers who question the majority view among scientists about climate change should “shut up” and instead repeat the Government line on the issue, according to MPs.

The BBC should also give less airtime to climate sceptics and its editors should seek special clearance to interview them, according to the Commons Science and Technology Committee. Andrew Miller, the committee’s Labour chairman, said that appearances on radio and television by climate sceptics such as Lord Lawson of Blaby, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, should be accompanied by “health warnings”.

Mr Miller likened climate sceptics to the Monster Raving Loony Party and said that the BBC should limit interviews with them just as it restricted the coverage it gave to fringe political parties.

In a report published today, the committee criticises the BBC’s coverage of climate change, saying that its news programmes “continue to make mistakes in their coverage of climate science by giving opinions and scientific fact the same weight”.

The MPs say that the BBC should apply the same “stringent requirements” to interviewing climate sceptics as it applies to interviewing politicians. “For example, any proposal to invite politicians to contribute to non-political output must be referred to the Chief Adviser Politics. The BBC could benefit from applying a similarly stringent approach when interviewing non- experts on controversial scientific topics such as climate change,” the committee says.

When considering how confusing it is to interact with the French, one has fun trying to find the inner message; when trying to understand the British, one is distressed by the enjoyment of language and logical argument, coupled with self-delusion and purposeful corruption of the language and logic.

Here, we see the Labor Party wanting to silence those who object to the vague rant about climate change. [They dropped "warming" years ago.] The Prime Minister has recently announced that climate change is the "number 1" threat to Britain and the world. No. 1, got it. Forget the Ukraine, terrorism, GMO foods, dangerous chemicals, Hollywood. No, the problem is climate change, so much so, he announced HIS party, unlike the evil party before him, is building a new nuclear reactor!

I would like to see him swim off the coast of Japan. Whatever you do, do not get involved with trying to send an email to London explaining facts and stuff.

Oh, he also touted Britain, which is the support staff for the financial district called "The City," has the world's first "green" investment bank.  Get it, yet?

Notice the demand for the state owned media to purposely NOT interview those who question the party like, as it has been put.  Do you see logic anywhere?  There is a propaganda logic, but that is sophistry, an internal logic that promotes a position, but does not seek facts. There is KGB and National Socialist logic, but not in the search of truth; rather, in search of conning the sheep as they are herded to the gate.

We are told "science" is why we must ban science, the discipline of eliminating falsehood by questioning proposed facts. We are told real scientists have voted on fact, which is crazy talk. Talk about the Loony Party.

The National Post, a real newspaper out of Toronto that Americans should look at, just for fun, created a series covering the "Deniers."  Check it out. If you are used to reading American papers, there are dictionaries online for assistance.

BTW, I hear the media playing the song about unemployment going down. I suppose I have to address it again, but be reminded, the percentage is based upon a nonsensical model that Washington redesigned starting in the Clinton era, as reported by the small guy-economist, as he claims, who worked for Mr. Clinton. 

People who couldn't find a job fast enough are not on the unemployment list.  Of course, they are still unemployed, but they are out of sight.  

Enjoy your country.

BBC as a Subversive Public Organization

Tangled webs of deception are difficult to preserve. Even that of the Obama administration, a coven of expert subversive, true believers, only convinces other true believers these days.

Last weeks bouncing ball or squirrel, a metaphor for a distracting news event the system promotes, was about an deputy deputy of Governor Christie being a New Jersey politician and leaving a trail. That story to the end got 1.5 full pages in the local non-newspaper. There was giddy speculation that his political career was over.  

In that issue there was also a 5 inch article, page three, center bottom, about how the State Department released a statement which, oh, if you were paying attention, proved President Obama and Ms. Clinton lied to the U.N. and world and you about its permissive killing of our Ambassador in Benghazi. It lied about the YouTube basis of rioting and the arrest of some schlub for making a video, and about having no time to rescue our people; for my part a serious fly over by one jet would have scattered the Muslim terrorists, er film critics.

Recall, our retired seals had "lit up" the mortar team (that killed one) which is only done when they are informed some delivery mechanism is close.  The lighting up of the mortar gave away the position of the Americans which is why you never use the laser unless there is an immanent attack. We had a presence in the sky above the shooting.

Obama got elected because of this mammoth and obvious lie (along with Romney's dopey silence) and because of Christie became his groupie just before the election. The Chicago method: lie and double the lie, then kill off your friends, if useful.

Of course, Democrats do not really lie, that is my old-fashioned frame of reverence, they spin and reconfigure reality. Anyway, there remains a fair percentage of stupid people, using the adjective correctly, who pay no attention to anything beyond ABC radio news when it breaks into the hip hop beat. They and those of us who refused to vote for Carl Rove put Obama in power. For my part, the faster the whole government collapses the better. We need much more than a clean broom.

So, here is more on the false global warming, change, subversion promoted by the BBC.  More politically correct lying.  Well, not lying, just recasting reality to meet the correct doubleplusgood think.

Scandal: BBC’s six-year cover-up of secret ‘green propaganda’ training for top executives

David Rose of the Mail on Sunday tears the BBC a new one, thanks to an “amateur climate blogger”.

• Pensioner forces BBC to lift veil on 2006 eco-seminar to top executives
• Papers reveal influence of top green campaigners including Greenpeace
• Then-head of news Helen Boaden said it impacted a ‘broad range of output’
• Yet BBC has spent more than £20,000 in legal fees trying to keep it secret

The BBC has spent tens of thousands of pounds over six years trying to keep secret an extraordinary ‘eco’ conference which has shaped its coverage of global warming,  The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The controversial seminar was run by a body set up by the BBC’s own environment analyst Roger Harrabin and funded via a £67,000 grant from the then Labour government, which hoped to see its ‘line’ on climate change and other Third World issues promoted in BBC reporting.

At the event, in 2006, green activists and scientists – one of whom believes climate change is a bigger danger than global nuclear war  – lectured 28 of the Corporation’s most senior executives.

Then director of television Jana Bennett opened the seminar by telling the executives to ask themselves: ‘How do you plan and run a city that is going to be submerged?’ And she asked them to consider if climate change laboratories might offer material for a thriller.

A lobby group with close links to green campaigners, the International Broadcasting Trust (IBT), helped to arrange government funding for both the climate seminar  and other BBC seminars run by  Mr Harrabin – one of which was attended by then Labour Cabinet Minister Hilary Benn.

Applying for money from Mr Benn’s Department for International Development (DFID), the IBT promised Ministers the seminars would influence programme content for years to come.

The BBC began its long legal battle to keep details of the conference secret after an amateur climate blogger spotted a passing reference to it in an official report.

Tony Newbery, 69, from North Wales, asked for further disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The BBC’s resistance to revealing anything about its funding and the names of those present led to a protracted struggle in the Information Tribunal. The BBC has admitted it has spent more than £20,000 on barristers’ fees. However, the full cost of their legal battle is understood to be much higher.
