I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go.

Comments from "fastboat" to an article about a warning to D.C. and some counties about voter fraud:
LEST WE FORGET --
In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations - and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).
In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast. The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.
In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
Liberals insist there is no voter fraud in the U.S. Are we the dumbest country on earth, or what?
------------------
Like I will keep adding: vote everyone out. That includes your secretaries of state, your school boards, your dog catcher. The most important vote you can make is to remove you school board. In the end, your schools are programming a future of sloppy socialism and the inability to think.
A critical gatekeeper is the Secretary of State. There are outright frauds in place now and they control the election process. That is how we got a stand up comic Senator.
Let's see, I need a catch phrase. How about: Don't Vote, Cauterize.
I like that. Still, is not immediately apparent. It might work, though. Here: VOTE NO or "Default Vote: Go"
So, have a better one? Hmm, RESET. Hey Rod, you are good at this.
As the Financial Post, a real paper from Canada, put it: here is all you need to know about global warming:
Oops.
The nice colors are the models the IPCC and, hence, the true believers used to "settle" the question of global warming. The mean black lines are data, the deniers.
Flash back years: I explained all this and predicted, like a bad radio host, that real scientists will jump the PC ship one they start to look stupid. This is happening at the IPCC. The scientists at IPCC are at odds with the political drones who will publish data, then add a preface, one disconnected from reality, about how the world is ending.
There are many fraudulent careers at stake in an era when stupid people may have to work in the "private sector," as they call normal life.
One addition: I glibly talked about solar activity as the thing to watch (and the models ignored). This is sort of a good plan, but the key is that water vapor the sun generates is the greenhouse gas that affects temperature.
I am in the process of organizing a NFP to cover the oceans with floating concrete. Sounds reasonable. Maybe, we coat it with a floating, while oil or something or kill animals that breath.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 AT 7:11 PM
Another leak from the IPCC shows that politicians in Belgium, Hungary, Germany, and the United States attempted to pressure the scientists writing the report to cover up the lack in global temperature rise since 1998.
[L]eaked documents seen by the Associated Press, yesterday revealed deep concerns among politicians about a lack of global warming over the past few years. Germany called for the references to the slowdown in warming to be deleted, saying looking at a time span of just 10 or 15 years was ‘misleading’ and they should focus on decades or centuries. Hungary worried the report would provide ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change. Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for statistics, as it was exceptionally warm and makes the graph look flat – and suggested using 1999 or 2000 instead to give a more upward-pointing curve. The United States delegation even weighed in, urging the authors of the report to explain away the lack of warming using the ‘leading hypothesis’ among scientists that the lower warming is down to more heat being absorbed by the ocean – which has got hotter.
Two points: First, for this article to refer to any legitimate scientist who questions the theory of human-caused global warming to be called a “denier” offends me beyond words, as regular readers of this website know.
The recent circus featuring democrats yelling at Goldman Sach's officials was politcal theater. Goldman doesn't care.
Greg found a site that collected data that reflected much of the information found on the hour show of Beck, the other day and I started to poke around, as well, but I only have one life to report on who actually runs the country and for whose benefit. But first:
...The Financial Times reports that the cost of insuring Goldman's debt against default has increased by some 80% in the last two weeks. According to Markit, a 5-year credit default swap insuring $10m of Goldman debt currently costs around $162,000-a-year - more than it costs to purchase similar protection for Citi and Morgan Stanley.
• William C. Dudley, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; was a partner and managing director at Goldman
• Gary Gensler, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; spent 18 years at Goldman
• Mark Patterson, Chief of Staff to Tim Geithner; former Goldman lobbyist
• Philip Murphy; nominated for ambassador to Germany; former Goldman executive
• Diana Farrell; Deputy Director of the National Economic Council; formerly with Goldman
• Emil Michael; White House fellow; former investment banker with Goldman
then there are other Goldman folks,
Hank Paulson, Robert Rubin (largest contributor to Obama's senatorial campaign, )Robert Altman, Gregory Craig, Thomas Donilon, William Dudley, Douglas Elmendorf, of there are about twenty more: HERE
Michelle Malkin wrote a good article called "All the President’s Goldman Men" but she only listed the usual suspects like Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Gary Gensler and Mark Patterson.
So, yelling at the shifty CEO on TV who praises the need for conrol is a cruel joke. Next on the list of crimnal activity is the insertion of "cap and trade." Where do the ten trillion dollars worth of credits trade:
Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)
CCX is North America’s only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas reduction and trading system for emission sources and offset projects. The companies joining the exchange commit to reducing their aggregate emissions by 6% by 2010....
CCX is operated by the public company Climate Exchange PLC, which also owns the European Climate Exchange. (As I understand it, the PLC is also partly owned by Goldman)
CCX is 10% owned by Goldman Sachs and 10% owned by Generation Investment Management (GIM).
Al Gore and GIM – Generation Investment Management
...Al Gore is Chairman of GIM, and David Blood — previously chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management — is CEO. The pair has given the company its nickname, “Blood and Gore.”...
GIM also owns a 2.98% stake in the Climate Exchange, which in turn owns the Chicago Climate Exchange (and has a larger 10% share in that). This gives Al Gore a financial bias towards promoting global warming control through the trading of carbon credits, one of Obama’s chief agenda items.
What else?
The Joyce Foundation and President Obama
President Barrack Hussein Obama was instrumental in funding the formation of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). Before becoming a Senator, Obama was a Board Member of the Joyce Foundation, which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange…”
Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s top advisors, is still on the board of directors for the Joyce Foundation.
It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate Exchange, in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism. The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman.
The Joyce Foundation also funded money for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives....
---- Finally
According to the Washington Examiner, Goldman Sachs in 2008 alone gave to Obama's campaign $415,595.63 inflation adjusted, which was itself almost three times as much as Bush received.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Imagine if Bush participate in ONE of the above frauds.
I just got an email from Scott Murphy who explained how he going to save us all. Unlike most of you, I did not unsubscribe from his newsletter, as one has to try to understand the dangerous.
The Murphy BS gets boring, so let me provide a few facts, please feel free to tell everyone you know. In fact, that is an order.
I will soon start a "rat marketing" Internet system to get the word out about Murphy and others. The "media" is a fixed game; I don't understand why Republicans buy advertising space there, they are feeding the enemy and doing so with a smile.
Here is how the recent Murphy letter began:
Dear Friend,
I have spent my career, both in the private sector and now as your Representative in Congress, working to build the economy in Upstate New York....
The letter explains, again, how great he is as a businessman and he will help northern NY, where he spent his career. This is an "Age of Obama" lie. Such lies are not as subtle as Mr. Clinton's because the left knows the media is a shield, not a sword.
He moved to Glens Falls in 2007.His "Wiki" recently changed and it no longer mentions that. Click on the date to find an article:
After Murphy’s father passed away in 2006, he and his family moved to Glens Falls, N.Y., so that his wife could be near her family’s dairy farm. Murphy said he attends a 57-person Sunday dinner with Hogan’s family nearly every week.
Murphy worked for Bankers Trust[ NYC]for two years in the early 1990s before becoming an entrepreneur. In 1994, he co-founded an interactive media company, Small World Software. [NYC sport's fantasy firm]In 1998 the company, which had grown to 25 employees, was purchased by the internet-consulting company iXL.[6] He then served as one of the heads of the purchased entity, rebranded "iXL New York". iXLlater went bankrupt in 2002 during the end of the dot-com bubble. In 2001 Murphy joined Advantage Capital Partners, a venture capitalpartnership. [Not Upstate - National Company. It says he "joined" not that he was a partner.]
He currently serves as President of the Board of Directors of Upstate Venture Association of New York, Inc.[7][Not a company - another NGO - pay us and we will consult]He also worked as an aide, Deputy Chief of Staff, and fundraiser for former Governors of MissouriMel Carnahan and Roger B. Wilson ....
The Past Is Prologue: from LoHud.com:
Murphy Under Fire For Unpaid Taxes
FEBRUARY
2
The National Republican Congressional Committee is taking aim at newly picked Democratic candidate Scott Murphy in the 20th Congressional race, saying he owes $21,550 in back taxes and penalties in 1997 and 1998 for a company he owned, Small World Software, Inc.
The committee also says that Murphy, who is challenging Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco for the open seat, has recently changed his biography online. It used to say, “prior to joining Advantage Capital, Mr. Murphy founded three different Internet-related businesses…” one of which was “Baazee.com, the leading online auction site in India that was sold to eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY).”
They said it now states: “Prior to joining Advantage Capital, Mr. Murphy founded two different Internet-related businesses…”
“It may be easy for a Wall Street venture capitalist like Scott Murphy to think he is above paying taxes, but middle-class families don’t have that luxury. Our financial crisis has taught us that corporate CEOs should be held accountable for their actions, and Scott Murphy should be treated no different,” said NRCCspokesman Paul Lindsay.
“Given the limited time he has to introduce himself to voters in upstate New York, it’s time for Murphy to come clean and disclose all of his questionable business dealings.”
Murphy’s campaign couldn’t be reached for comment.
The congressional seat is open after Kirsten Gillibrand was appointed to the Senate. The district runs from Dutchess County to the North Country.
Once we send him off, he would qualify to work at the Treasury. After all, he is a tax cheat; further, has more business experience, as it is, than Geithner, as Tim admitted this week - I have no experience in the private sector. He did so without a hint that he saw this as a problem. ------ Murphy's opponent is Mr. Gibson. : Chris Gibson for Congress Just an honorable retired officer who likes our nation and has seen the underside of the world. You know, old school.
James McCarthy, a respected Harvard professor who was a former Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change lead author, sent a letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) today stressing that e-mails stolen from climate scientists do not undermine the evidenc for manmade global warming. McCarthy is board chair of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).
The letter reads "The scientific process depends on open access to methodology, data, and a rigorous peer-review process. The robust exchange of ideas in the peer-reviewed literature regarding climate science is evidence of the high degree of integrity in this process. The body of evidence that human activity is prominent agent in global warming is overwhelming. The content of these a few personal emails has no impact what-so-ever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming.”
Ooooh. There is a convincing argument: "Because I say 'others say so.'"
I have written several times over the past few years, that when the reality of what has been going on opens up, scientists will rise up to protect their own credibility where before they were afraid to lose their jobs. This just has to be. We need to look at data, not a UN/Barbara Boxer press release.
As a graduate student at Harvard, I was told that fields do not advance because people change their minds; rather, fields advance because people die.
Things are getting sticky for the left-control drones. Their most recent tool, climate fear, as a way to control the world and divert billions to them, is unraveling. Hence, the above letter to Barbara Boxer, whom I am sure didn't ask for the letter to be sent, saying all is well the the emperor does really have new clothes, even if the tailor spilled the beans that he kills anyone who can't see the garb.
Below, is all you need to read on the increasingly silly, albeit dangerous, notion that man is changing the earth's temperature and killing the polar bears by increasing their population so they may run out of food, then invade Toronto looking to eat little foreign babies (that is my guess as to the next moving argument. )
I have been publishing denier information for, what, over two years. People refused to admit the possibility that what I said was true. They read a statistic or report, I think, and it does not register. It is like a hum in their heads.
They ask, "Were did I get that information" which exactly raises the theme of this blog. Read the information yourself and go look it up, don't wait for a talking head who is invested in lies or works for the liars. Don't forget, the talking head TV news readers are, in real life, dullards:
From a wiki regarding Peter Jennings:
...He struggled academically, and Jennings later surmised that it was out of "pure boredom" that he failed 10th grade and dropped out. "I loved girls," he said. "I loved comic books. And for reasons I don't understand, I was pretty lazy."[2] Jennings then briefly attended Carleton University, where he says he "lasted about 10 minutes" before dropping out.[3] He also attended the University of Ottawa[4].
Here is a response to the article above, from someone who didn't drop out of Harvard and who took the time to mention things like facts, If course, this entry could be a big fraud, so one may want to look at he cited references, unlike those given by the UN. Just stop saying, "Where did you read that?"
That siad, you may find it interesting reading the original site, "The Green Blog," not a right wing site. Click on the title. Read the other responses. You don't find anyone supporting the fraudulent science.
I am a climate scientist, and it is clear that the evidence that "human activity is prominent [sic] agent in global warming" is NOT overwhelming. The repeated statement that it is does not make it so. Further, even if we accepted the hypothesis, cap-and-trade legislation does not do anything about it.
Here are the facts. We have known for years that the Mann hockey stick model was wrong, and we know why it was wrong (Mann used only selected data to normalize the principal component analysis, not all of it). He retracted the model. We have known for years that the Medieval Warm period occurred, where the temperatures were higher than they are now (Chaucer spoke of vineyards in northern England). Long before ClimateGate it was known that the IPCC people were trying to fudge the data to get rid of the MWP. And for good reason.
If the MWP is "allowed" to exist, this means that temperatures higher than today did not then create a "runaway greenhouse" in the Middle Ages with methane released from the Arctic tundra, ice cap albedo lost, sea levels rising to flood London, etc. etc.), and means that Jim Hansen's runaway greenhouse that posits only amplifying feedbacks (and no damping feedbacks) will not happen now. We now know that the models on which the IPCC alarms are based to not do clouds, they do not do the biosphere, they do not explain the Pliocene warming, and they have never predicted anything, ever, correctly.
As the believers know but, like religious faithful, every wrong prediction (IPCC underestimated some trends) is claimed to justify even greater alarm (not that the models are poor approximations for reality); the underpredictions (where are the storms? Why "hide the decline"?) are ignored or hidden. As for CO2, we have known for years that CO2 increases have never in the past 300,000 years caused temperature rise (CO2 rise trails temperature increase). IPCC scientists know this too (see their "Copenhagen Diagnosis"); we know that their mathematical fudges that dismiss the fact that CO2 has not been historically causative of temperature rise are incorrect as well.
We have also known for years that the alleged one degree temperature rise from 1880 vanishes if sites exposed to urban heat islands are not considered. We have long known that Jones's paper dismissing this explanation (Jones, et al. 1990. Assessment of urbanization effects in time series of surface air temperature over land, Nature 347 169- 172) is wrong and potentially fraudulent (see the same data used to confirm urban heat islands in Wang, W-C, Z. Zeng, T. R Karl, 1990. Urban Heat Islands in China. Geophys. Res. Lett. 17, 2377-2380).
Everyone except Briffa knows that the Briffa conclusions are wrong, and why they are wrong; groups in Finland, Canada (lots of places actually) show cooling by this proxy, not warming; the IPCC even printed the Finn's plot upside down to convert the fact (cooling) into the dogma (warming).
Prof. McCarthy is, of course, part of the IPCC that has suppressed dissenting viewpoints based on solid climate science. His claim to support by "peer review" is nonsense; he has helped corrupt the peer review process. We now have documentary evidence that Jones, Mann, and the other IPCC scientists have been gaming peer review and blackballing opponents. On this point, the entire IPCC staff, including Prof. McCarthy, neither have nor deserve our trust.
We have tolerated years of the refusal of Mann and Jones to release data. Now, we learn that much of these data were discarded (one of about 4 data sets that exist), something that would in any other field of science lead to disbarment. We have been annoyed by Al Gore, who declared this science "settled", refused to debate, and demonized skeptics (this is anti-science: debate and skepticism are the core of real science, which is never settled). The very fact that Prof. McCarthy attempts to bluff Congress by asserting the existence of fictional "overwhelming evidence" continues this anti-science activity.
All of this was known before Climategate. What was not known until now was the extent to which Jones and Mann were simply deceiving themselves (which happens often in science) or fraudently attempting to deceive others. I am not willing to crucify Jones on the word "trick". Nor, for that matter, on the loss of primary data, keeping only "value added" data (which is hopelessly bad science, but still conceivably not fraud).
But the computer code is transparently fraudulent. Here, one finds matrices that add unexplained numbers to recent temperatures and subtract them from older temperatures (these numbers are hard-programmed in), splining observational data to model data, and other smoking guns, all showing that they were doing what was necessary to get the answers that the IPCC wanted, not the answers that the data held. They knew what they were doing, and why they were doing it. If, as Prof. McCarthy insists, "peer review" was functioning, and the IPCC reports are rigorously peer reviewed, why was this not caught?
When placing it in context made it highly likely that this type of fraud was occurring?
The second question is: Will this revelation be enough to cause the "global warming believers" to abandon their crusade, and for people to return to sensible environmental science (water use, habitat destruction, land use, this kind of thing)? Perhaps it will.
Contrary to Prof. McCarthy's assertion, we have not lost just one research project amid dozens of others that survive. A huge set of primary data are apparently gone. Satellite data are scarcely 40 years old. Everything is interconnected, and anchored on these few studies. Even without the corruption of the peer review process, this is as big a change as quantum mechanics was in physics a century ago.
But now we know that peer review was corrupted, and that no "consensus" exists. The "2500 scientists agree" number is fiction (God knows who they are counting, but to get to this number, they must be including referees, spouses, and pets).
The best argument now for AGW is to argue that CO2 is, after all, a greenhouse gas, its concentration is, after all, increasing, and feedbacks that regulated climate for millions of years might (we can hypothesize) be overwhelmed by human CO2 emissions. It is a hypothesis worthy of investigation, but it has little evidentiary support.
Thus, there is hope that Climategate will bring to an end the field of political climatology, and allow climatology to again become a science. That said, people intrinsically become committed to ideas. The Pope will not become a Protestant even if angel Gabriel taps him on the shoulder and asks him to. Likewise, Prof. McCarthy may claim until the day he retires that there remains "overwhelming support" for his position, even if every last piece of data supporting it is controverted.
As a graduate student at Harvard, I was told that fields do not advance because people change their minds; rather, fields advance because people die.
As Scam #1, the notion that I am responsible for something called global warming, change, or cooling, is unwinding, let us revisit Scam #2: Swine Flu. I have noted previously the small incidence of the flu, a fraction of the amount of illness and deaths from the normal seasonal flu, but even those cases are a blatant fraud, as it turns out.
Take a breath and consider:
1. On April 20, the CDC announced the swine flu pandemic was here: 4 cases, no deaths.
2. May: WHO redefines the word "pandemic" so we can have one. Took out the idea of deaths. See article below, Russia dismisses this pandemic.
3. July: The CDC STOPS testing for swine flu and directs states to stop. Why? Because, they say, its here, so why bother? Therefore, NO CASE OF SWINE FLU after July IS CONFIRMED. NONE. This is not science, nor is it moronic; this is a fraud.
A recent blog, here, showed how the swine flu incidence was low, but even this was even wrong as NONE of those cases I included in the analysis were confirmed. None of the cases were confirmed as having happened in spite of some vaccine. Florida, while still testing, found 8% of the reported Swine Flu cases were not even the flu.
There is no data, as CBS learned when they recently tried to figure out what is going on in each state. VIDEO Yes, a major media outlet was pissed off. Here, lest you forget the swine flu fraud of 1976, is the 1978 60 MINUTES
The data that was analyzed before testing stopped, showed of the cases reported the actual number of swine flu cases ran from 1% to 30%. Usually, on the lower end. see VIDEO.
Now, follow the money, if you wonder why this fraud continues:
1. Big Pharma - guaranteed payment with a no liability, per your Congress.
2. CDC
3. WHO
4. Doctors/hospitals
5. Governments - control and more taxes. There is an alleged new strain in __, which also has no deadly effects, but never mind. The WHO stepped in and demanded the government ban all social gatherings, which has been done. This is a continuation of the trend to make everyone a victim who needs the state. If you think this is over-the-top, try reading some history. Try the Frankfurt School, Alinsky (whose organization employed Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama).
MOSCOW, June 11 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's chief doctor said swine flu could be treated as normal seasonal influenza despite the WHO's classification of the outbreak as a global pandemic, but advised Russians to protect themselves with masks.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared earlier on Thursday its first flu pandemic of the 21st century following an emergency meeting. The A/H1N1 virus has been confirmed in 74 countries.
The UN health body's chief Margaret Chan announced that the WHO decided to raise the pandemic alert level to the maximum of 6.
"The world is moving into the early days of its first influenza pandemic in the 21st century," Chan told reporters.
"The virus is now unstoppable," she said.
Gennady Onishchenko dismissed the swine flu pandemic as a real threat and said most patients could be treated at home. He urged Russians to follow regular hygiene routines and to wear flu-protection masks.
"It is not complicated, but it is effective - put on a mask," the chief doctor said in an interview with Vesti 24 television on Thursday. "Nobody sees this as a supernatural situation, scandalous behavior. It is a normal rule, which protects against the pandemic."
A Russian government official earlier told RIA Novosti that Russia is not overly concerned with the new pandemic.
"There is no reason for concern. The situation in Russia is under control," he said adding that only three swine flu cases had been registered so far in the country and all patients had recovered....
