Climate Gate and Afghanistan and the death of our traditional media

The biggest tragedy of 2009 has been the death of the US news media.   How sad that our newspapers have become cheerleaders for the Left!  There are so many untold stories out there;  yes, they can be found on the internet with ease, reducing the power that the press once had over society.  I don’t know which came first– did the loss of media honesty lead to alternative sources of information?  Or did the presence of new ‘fact checkers’ lead the media to lose their sense of responsibility, assuming that they could report on whatever they chose, or more importantly NOT write on whatever they chose, and that someone ELSE would be in charge of the truth?  We are lucky that they both occurred at the same time, in any case.

Our embarrassing president is taking a break from preparing his smoke and mirrors speech about Afghanistan to attend a climate change meeting in Denmark.  This meeting occurs on the heels of a major story about the years of falsification of scientific data by environmental groups, showing very clearly that ‘global warming’ or ‘AGW” or whatever you want to call it is nothing but a political stunt.  The cast a can be divided between the true believers, AKA ‘useful idiots’ including the Hollywood celebrity/high school drop-out crowd, vs the people who manipulated data, covered up the truth, smeared the scientists brave enough to tell the real story…  I don’t know where Gore will come in, as he appears to be both- part idiot and part self-righteous manipulator and profiteer.

I encourage anyone who has not yet read the story go to the British press and read about Climategate.  There is one writer in particular who has  explained the situation very well– the type of writer we used to picture at our own newspapers.  He writes about the recent exposure of large-scale falsification of data by the global warming alarmists, and takes the reader through the raw data– before and after the outright falsification of the data by those trying to create the story of climate change.  As he points out, there is such a thing as ‘man-made climate change’– only the changes are made by men who are altering data points, not from changes in the earth’s temperature.

Then there is the story in Afghanistan.  Obama claimed to have a ‘plan’ for Afghanistan before being elected president—which was necessary, as only fools would elect a man without a plan to be the next president at a time of war.  But when our Generals asked for help, obama was clueless– and the media, save Fox, ignored the story.  We waited for months, and the cost has been huge.  If you want to learn about the costs, try the UK’s Telegraph, in a recent column that describes how obama’s inability to act decisively and mixed messages has cost support from our former allies and cost the morale– and lives– of our soldiers who have battled the growing Taliban forces using deficient support and planning.

You won’t read about these stories in the US media.

But again the good news…  the hacks at the NYT have put themselves out of business, as people have no need to read news that isn’t news, or pay to miss stories that are news.  And as the US public reads about the falling opinion of our country abroad, the falling status of the US currency under the reckless spending of the Dems in Congress and our fool obama, and the lack of decisiveness of our ‘commander’ in chief,  it becomes more likely that we will only suffer ‘change’ for 4 years, not 8.  And if obama continues to show utter contempt for the American people, his current Rasmussen poll numbers– negative 15 and falling– will look rosy in comparison to where they will stand next November!

Thanks (for nothing) obama!

Real News, Anyone?

It amazes me that so many people can be taken in by charisma.  I’m not referring to the general public– the masses fall for things all the time.  I’m referring to the people who used to report news.  For those of you who are too young to remember, there used to be ‘reporters’ who would dig around for the truth behind the words of politicians.  Now, as you can see, there are a bunch of people who simply write what the president tells them to write, including writing bad things about the people the president doesn’t like.  It is really quite amazing how the world has changed-  the ‘Fox’ channel– the one that your parents won’t let you watch– used to be more the typical than the unusual.  News reporters were known to actually report both sides of things.  Hard to imagine, I know– but I’m telling the honest truth.  Go find an old newspaper, say more than 10 months old.  IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!

Now, if you want to have any hope of knowing what is going on beyond the words of the anointed one, you need to turn on (gasp!) Fox or read the foreign print.  I was overseas recently and read the stories about the falling US dollar that you won’t read here, because it would raise the question, ‘why is the dollar falling so dramatically?’  People would then, maybe, start asking questions– questions that the ‘fall-in-line’ media do not want you to ask.  How can they all be fooled?  Mostly because these are the people who in college had dreams of everybody holding hands and singing instead of holding dictators and those who commit genocide accountable.   These were the people who had no clue– you recognized them back then, but now you think they are smart of fair just because they wear pants instead of shorts.  But I digress…

The dollar is falling btw because every other country is seeing the obvious– the US is a falling nation.  We have our own madman driving us over a cliff.  He will soon borrow another 200 billion to prop up the economy that he has destroyed.  Note that the media blames Bush for that– he somehow created this whole global recession.  I won’t bore you (for now) with the truth about the pressure from the Left to loan money to those who don’t work or can’t afford to pay it back, and how that destroyed the financial industry– but just look at the obvious.  The whole world was brought down by the use of leverage and financial instruments that had nothing to do with Bush.  Watch, now, as every OTHER country recovers… EXCEPT US.  Other countries are looking at conservative reforms, like cutting taxes and cutting the size of government, allowing the economies to spring to life.  Our idiot prez is doing the opposite.  He has created a bunch of government jobs by borrowing money and setting up ‘make-work’ programs.  That is your money paying those salaries btw…  but eventually China will stop investing in a country being run by a fool, and when that happens, the dollar collapses, inflation explodes, and the US quality of life becomes equal to that of o’s ancestors– or worse.

Read some real news, people– use the internet to your advantage.  Don’t trust me– just read.  And recognize the New York Times and the big three TV networks for what they are.  As for MSNBC, if you are watching that, you have no brain left, and I pity you– but I cannot help you.  The best you can do is avoid having children.

The following is taken from Patriotic Resistance:

Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change.

Here were Monckton’s closing remarks, as dictated from my audio recording:

At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.
