ClimateGate Continues With BBC Expert Scandal

Paul Hudson, weather presenter and climate change expert for the BBC, was sent the leaked emails that have ignited ClimateGate over a month ago and yet did not make them public. The leaked emails were sent to him based on a blog posting that he had made. The posting entitled "Whatever Happened To Global Warming" pointed out that earth temperatures had not increased for well over a decade. Hudson pointed out as well, that experts have found that natural cycles control temperature.

The leaked emails came from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit and span 13 years with over 4,000 documents. The United Nations has used research results from this University to back up their plans for climate change treaties. The emails revealed that researchers were discussing how they could cover up results, hide results and spin the data that did not help in supporting their claims that global warming is man-made.

The Mail Online reports:

In his blog for BBC Look North, Hudson added: 'The e-mails released on the internet as a result of CRU being hacked into are identical to the ones I was forwarded and read at the time and so, as far as l can see, they are authentic.'

He also publishes a link to the messages which global warming sceptics claim provide 'smoking gun' evidence that some scientists talked about manipulated data to support the theory that climate change is being caused by mankind.

However, Hudson does not explain why he sat on the controversial information for so long, but added: 'I do intend to write a blog regarding the CRU being hacked into, and the possible implications of this very serious affair.'

The leak comes ahead of inter-governmental talks in Copenhagen next month which campaigners have argued is a last opportunity to prevent irreversible climate change.

Former Chancellor Lord Lawson has called for an inquiry into the scandal, warning the credibility of UK science is at stake.

It comes amid pressure on the professor at the centre of the scandal to quit from his position at the CRU.

In one damning email, he appears to call the death of a climate change sceptic 'cheering news!'.

In other messages, researchers appear to be discussing manipulating data and how to dodge Freedom Of Information requests.

Another shows a climatologist from the U.S. admitting it was a travesty that the lack of global warming in recent years could not be explained.

Michelle Obama Orders French Thigh High Boots

And the elitism rolls on! Lavish state dinners, high end tennis shoes ($545) worn to charity functions, million dollar home and now specially made French leather thigh high boots for the First Lady. But she is just like the rest of us...wink, wink.

The Telegraph reports:

The American first lady could give Carla Bruni, the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and a former supermodel, a run for her money once she receives the flat black boots, which have been specially ordered from Robert Clergerie, the French designer based in Romans, in western France.

Mrs Obama has also ordered a pair of calf-length boots in beige buckskin, according to Mr Clergerie, whose boots sell for hundreds of pounds.

Robert Clergerie said the first lady's order had been sent in by a retailer in her hometown Chicago after Mrs Obama could not find the exact style she wanted. One of the pairs was modified slightly from the catalogue model at her request, he said. Clergerie is one of the few remaining great shoemakers in Romans-sur-Isere, a small town in south-west France that has been renowned for its shoes for centuries.

He has previously made footwear for Madonna, Bianca Jagger and Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy.

Mutilating Jihadist Presses Assault Charges On SEALs

Ahmed Hashim Abed is a Jihadist who was the mastermind behind the murder of four Blackwater USA security guards in 2004. After the murders he had the bodies mutilated and strung up for all to see.

Three Navy SEALs apprehending this piece of garbage and in the tussle, Abed's lip was bloodied. He should have been plugged in the head as far as I'm concerned. Now assault charges have been pressed and these three courageous SEALs are set to face separate arraignments on December 7 for assault.

FOX News reports:

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

Neal Puckett, an attorney representing McCabe, told Fox News the SEALs are being charged for allegedly giving the detainee a “punch in the gut.”

“I don’t know how they’re going to bring this detainee to the United States and give us our constitutional right to confrontation in the courtroom,” Puckett said. “But again, we have terrorists getting their constitutional rights in New York City, but I suspect that they’re going to deny these SEALs their right to confrontation in a military courtroom in Virginia.”

The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.

FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.

The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.

"I gave the detainee a glance over and then left," the SEAL wrote. "I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health."

Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.

United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.

There is no more despicable way to treat our military heroes. We are becoming an insane nation and soon we will pay for being in a worse than pre 9/11 mindset. We are so politically correct that a Jihadist is allowed to murder our soldiers on a base in America, our President apologizes to the world and Iran is allowed to build nukes.

CRU Hacked And Emails Prove Fraud

The Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in eastern England - the scientists that supplied research and "proof" of global warming to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - have had their computers hacked and sensitive emails have been exposed to the light of day. And what does light bring? Truth of course. And the truth appears to be that human caused climate change is the fraud we have always believed it to be. The servers at the University of East Anglica in the UK were hacked by an unknown assailant and in my opinion, a truth seeker and good person.

The Portland Civil Rights Examiner reports:

These emails are very clear in several things. The scientists were deliberately changing, manipulating and deleting data. They were delivering data to computer modelers that were designed to give specific results, and were determined ahead of time. They were colluding to delete emails that were under Freedom Of Information Act laws in the UK, and were deliberately adding and removing data to make it appear that Global Warming was continuing, despite blatantly obvious data, temperature measurements, as well as worldwide growing ice sheets in order to continue the myth.

Colorado Senator Bennet Could Care Less About Seat

This is what happens when people are appointed to the Senate, rather than voted in by special election. This needs to change in this country in every state. All representatives in America should be voted in by the people. If we have politicians who do not care about retention of their seats and do not care about their constituents, then we have a dangerous system in Washington D.C. No pressure can be brought to bare on a representative except from special interests. Senator Michael Bennet from Colorado is proof of this. He will vote for ObamaCare even if it costs him his seat.

The blog Senatus reports:

Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) “said Sunday that he will support his party’s efforts to pass health care reform legislation even if that means losing his seat in next year’s midterm elections,” CNN reports.

“If you get to the final point and you are a critical vote for health care reform and every piece of evidence tells you if you support the bill you will lose your job, would you cast the vote and lose your job?” CNN’s John King asked Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado on Sunday’s State of the Union.

“Yes,” Bennet bluntly and simply replied.

ACORN Dumps Sensitive Documents

A private investigator watching the ACORN offices in San Diego, witnessed an employee dumping documents in a dumpster outside of the offices. None of the paperwork was shredded even though it contained sensitive information with people's social security numbers, names and other financial records. The documents linked ACORN to the California Teacher's Union allegedly, which had never been disclosed by either organization. The documents also revealed that ACORN had worked closely with Citigroup over mortgages. The mishandling of the documents constitutes a crime in California and now ACORN is demanding the documents be returned so they can dispose of them properly.

This revelation of the document dumping comes on the heels of State Attorney General Jerry Brown announcing that ACORN would undergo a probe. Looks like ACORN was dumping sensitive information before the investigation, although ACORN claims it was a routine clean up of the offices.

New Climate Change Ad Nauseating And Ridiculous

Warning: This video is graphic and idiotic - you've been warned.



When will this kind of propaganda end? And I'm sure these people would tell you they love polar bears even though they have used them in a graphically abusive way and as propaganda.

Senate Fools Send ReidCare Into Debate

The Democratic Senators were all giddy and patting themselves on the back as they announced to America that they are no longer listening to us and are hellbent on destroying America. Obviously that is not what they said, but they did announce that they got their sixty votes that enables ReidCare to go to the floor for debate. The debate will begin after the Thanksgiving recess. This was the main backstop for Americans. Now Senator Reid can use reconciliation to pass the bill and send it back into a joint session with the House to get a final bill to the President. This government takeover of healthcare seems almost unstoppable and I fear for our country what will happen if it does pass. Not only because of the ramifications this bill will lead to, but also because the American people will not stand for this and I fear that things may turn violent.

Many Senators are planning to pass healthcare reform, even though both the House and Senate bills stink on ice, because they assume they can change the bill and make it better in the future. When has that ever happened in Washington DC?

Reuters is reporting:

In the first Senate test for President Barack Obama's top domestic priority, Democrats unanimously backed a procedural motion to open Senate debate over the opposition of 39 Senate Republicans. One Republican did not vote.

The Democrats' victory was assured earlier in the day when the last two Democratic holdouts, Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu, said they would support the motion but would not commit to backing the final bill without significant changes.

"I believe that it is more important that we begin this debate to improve our nation's healthcare system for all Americans rather than just simply drop the issue and walk away," Lincoln, the last holdout, said in a speech hours before the vote.

The Senate debate will begin on Nov. 30 and is expected to last at least three weeks. The House of Representatives has passed its own version, and differences in the two would have to be reconciled in January before Obama could sign a final measure.

PA SEIU Head Steps Down

The head of the SEIU chapter in Allentown, Nick Balzano, came under fire this week after he publically rebuked a 17-year-old Boy Scout named Kevin Anderson for clearing a walking path as part of his community service because Balzano felt that Anderson had taken away union work. he planned to file a grievance with the city. Immense pressure from conservatives and even a verbal rebuke from the SEIU union led Balzano to resign his position along with seven other executive officers.

''I am proud of the work I and the rest of the executive board have done over the years,'' he said. Balzano claimed that he was only trying to protect union jobs and had nothing against the Boy Scouts.

CBO Analysis Claims Public Option Will Cost More

As the Democratic Senators preen before media cameras and claim all the wonders of ReidCare, those of us out here who actually give a damn about our country are scrutinizing every facet of this monstrous legislation. The CBO may claim that ReidCare will save money over time, but there are pieces of their analysis that I am sure Harry Reid would not anyone to know. One of these glaring negatives can be found on page 9 of the CBO Report and can be found here in bold:

CBO’s assessment is that a public plan paying negotiated rates would attract a
broad network of providers but would typically have premiums that were
somewhat higher than the average premiums for the private plans in the
exchanges. The rates the public plan pays to providers would, on average,
probably (Probably?!) be comparable to the rates paid by private insurers participating in the
exchanges. The public plan would have lower administrative costs than those
private plans but would probably engage in less management of utilization for its
enrollees and attract a less healthy pool of enrollees. (The effects of that “adverse
selection” on the public plan’s premiums would be only partially offset by the
risk adjustment procedures applicable to all plans operating in the exchanges.)

So basically the public option would enroll all the people most likely to use insurance the most - the unhealthy - and thus it will be more expensive over time. Where are the Senators getting the idea that including the public option is good and that their plan will save money? And do not think we have not noticed that the taxes start to be stolen from our checks in 2011 even though the healthcare reform plan does not take effect until 2014. And 99% of the costs of this bill do not start until the fifth year of their ten year projected figures. The true costs are well over twice as much as Reid has been advertising coming to a grand total of $1.8 trillion. CBO also assessed that about two-thirds of the population would be expected to have a public plan available in their state because they believe it will be very difficult for states to opt out of the public option.
