HERE ARE SOME OF THE EARLY EMAILS FROM THE CLIMATE RESEARCH UNIT THAT THE MSM DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE

But what do you expect from the "lame-stream" media? They hid ACORN, Van Jones, the hundreds of thousands of people who marched on Washington, they have helped promote the agenda of the left for years and at no time more so than the last two years, and vicsciously attacked anyone and everyone that tells the truth and threatens their agenda.

They will eventually try to attack the whistle blowers and spin the documents and emails, either creating some diversion to avoid reporting on this scandal or simply hoping

Thanks to http://bishophill.squarespace.com for compiling this early list!

Note: I didn't correct all the spelling errors. The refs are the email numbers.

The Climate Research Unit Emails:

Phil Jones writes to University of Hull to try to stop skeptic Sonia Boehmer Christiansen using her Hull affiliation. Graham F Haughton of Hull University says its easier to push greenery there now SB-C has retired.(1256765544)

Michael Mann discusses how to destroy a journal that has published skeptic papers.(1047388489)

Tim Osborn discusses how data are truncated to stop an apparent cooling trend showing up in the results (0939154709).

Phil Jones describes the death of skeptic, John Daly, as "cheering news".(1075403821)

Phil Jones encourages colleagues to delete information subject to FoI request.(1212063122)

Phil Jones says he has use Mann's "Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series"...to hide the decline". Real Climate says "hiding" was an unfortunate turn of phrase.(0942777075)

Letter to The Times from climate scientists was drafted with the help of Greenpeace.(0872202064)

Mann thinks he will contact BBC's Richard Black to find out why another BBC journalist was allowed to publish a vaguely skeptical article.(1255352257)

Kevin Trenberth says they can't account for the lack of recent warming and that it is a travesty that they can't.(1255352257)

Tom Wigley says that Lindzen and Choi's paper is crap.(1257532857)

Tom Wigley says that von Storch is partly to blame for skeptic papers getting published at Climate Research. Says he encourages the publication of crap science. Says they should tell publisher that the journal is being used for misinformation. Says that whether this is true or not doesn't matter. Says they need to get editorial board to resign. Says they need to get rid of von Storch too. (1051190249)

Ben Santer says (presumably jokingly!) he's "tempted, very tempted, to beat the crap" out of skeptic Pat Michaels. (1255100876)

Mann tells Jones that it would be nice to '"contain" the putative Medieval Warm Period'. (1054736277)

Tom Wigley tells Jones that the land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming and that this might be used by skeptics as evidence for urban heat islands.(1257546975)

Incidentally, I pointed out the "tree ring trick" way back in March of 2007, although I have been arguing against the fraud that is "Man-made Global Warming" for over a decade:

They Call It The "Hockey Stick" Graph

Using tree rings as a basis for assessing past temperature changes back to the year 1,000 AD, supplemented by other proxies from more recent centuries, Mann completely redrew the history, turning the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age into non-events:

Voila! No medieval heating or “little ice age” cooling. He then switched from “tree ring” interpretations of temperatures and spliced surface temperature records (red) from the 20th century … mixing apples and oranges, if you want to get technical and starting with the huge El Nino effect of 1998 as his starting point. The yellow areas are the variations in temperature that were removed to produce a seemingly more stable record, btw. Makes you wonder if you're seeing what's really supposed to be there. I wonder if the "mean" temperature that is used as a baseline has any validity at all. Maybe there's some kind of explanatation of why he would do that ... I wonder.


That was about the time a lot of my "friends" and others started attacking me personally for my "idiotic" beliefs and arguments.

I'm so happy to have them out of my life and where they belong ... on the wrong side of history.

Don't you hate it when people LIE to you and ABOUT you? ;-)

WHO'LL BREAK THE NEWS TO OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN THAT ALL THOSE WONDERFUL SCIENTISTS LIE AND CHEAT?

How can we expect them to study and work hard and do the right thing when the (supposedly) most brilliant and respected people in the world, scientists, are no better than unscrupulous used car salesmen. Not to mention their teachers, representatives, and the people who report the news.

The word is crawling out in spite of that reluctant news media:

Global Warming Biggest Scam in History of World?

Thank goodness for hackers, for a change.

Is it possible I'll be able to retire from warning everyone about the junk science and political scheme that is man made global warming? That I'll be able to start reporting how the culprits - the media, politicians, green companies, corporations, left-wingers, socialists, the UN, Al Gore, the Hollywood crowd, etc. are finally being exposed and will hopefully be stopped in their quest to destroy our way of life and redistribute literally TRILLIONS of dollars from you and me to them and their pals - and for a LIE?

Washington Times Calls "Junk Science" Baloney

Unfortunately, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR AND PBS have IGNORED the biggest scandal of the century. Only one news outlet has reported on it:

Only msm story on Climate Scandal

What have I been telling you?

It's satisfying to know you helped sound the alarm and, in a small way, helped contribute to exposing these charlatans, but the fight's not over yet.

Already there are those trying to spin the plain facts that scientists have intentionally conspired to fudge the data, hide the facts, destroy their critics, and advance an agenda based more on politics and ideology than on pure science.

It's chilling, isn't it?

So many people were so willing to buy into this garbage with no intellectual curiosity whatsoever. Politicians and supposedly "skeptical" reporters included. That really disturbs me to no end. I'm guessing they'll just move on to some new hoax to believe in, some new "movement" in which to establish an identity, to feel superior to the masses.

Malcontents. Drones. "Intellectuals."

True Believers.

How many times must the story be told.

Tell your friends what's happened. But be nice. No need to rub it in.

I KNOW IT MUST EAT AT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BLINDLY FOLLOWED THE RELIGION OF GLOBAL WARMING BUT IT'S BEING SUGGESTED THAT SOMEONE 'INSIDE' THE MOVEMENT MAY HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND BLEW THE WHISTLE

Yep, the Global Warming Alarmists are circling the wagons as word gets out that the scientists responsible for the United Nations research and studies have possibly been involved in cooking the data, plotting against their opponents, destroying contrary evidence, and basically promoting their agenda despite knowledge that the science is bogus.

If there was a "whistle blower" this individual has done a great service in exposing what still portends to be the greatest and most expensive hoax and scam ever played on mankind.

Was CRU 'Hacker' an Internal Whistle-blower?

The media, no doubt, will help to cover up this story and/or assist the scientists in explaining away the mountains of evidence against them. After all, they're already in bed with the Devil and have a lot to lose in terms of money, influence, and reputation.

Not surprisingly, the New York Times has suddenly decided that it's NOT proper to publish information that was not intended for public view!

New York Times Suddenly Gets a Conscience?

The New York Times?

Are you laughing yet?

The New York Times is a disgrace!

This paper that has no problem publishing the names of CIA interrogators, secret bunkers designed to protect the Vice President, the Pentagon Papers, techniques used to fight against terrorists, combat plans, Newt Gingrich's intercepted phone conversations, Sarah Palin's emails, etc., etc.

They'll betray our troops in harm's way but protect anyone whose leftist agenda they help promote.

Seeing the truth yet?

Little by little the truth comes out. It always does, no matter how many people don't want it to, or don't want to hear it. No matter how hard the "professionals" try to hide it.

Wake up! There are forces out there that have an agenda against you and me ... and, if we stand together and make our voices heard, we, the little people, can bring them down.

I am so proud of the many people I know, who have never been interested in politics and current events, who are making their voices heard.

HAVE YOU HEARD? CLIMATE RESEARCH UNIT AT FOREFRONT OF GLOBAL WARMING MOVEMENT MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED AS CORRUPT

A hacker has reportedly broken into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (Hadley CRU) and unearthed emails and documents indicating a scandalous conspiracy involving collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

Global Warming Scandal Exposed?

This could be big in that it may verify everything we have been saying about Global Warming being the biggest scam in the history of the world.

What should the penalty be if it is discovered that these Global Warming Alarmists have been purposely perpetrating a FRAUD?

Let the lawsuits begin!?! We shall see. But one thing's clear.

I guess the debate is NOT over after all!

THE GREAT CAROL HANEY IN ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE MUSICAL NUMBERS FROM THE PAJAMA GAME

My friend [info]arianadii mentioned how my previous post made her want to dance.

I know the feeling. I'm not a good dancer, but there are some songs and musicals that really do get me in the mood.

My favorite dancer of all time is Carol Haney, who only had one real speaking part in movies, the character Gladys Hotchkiss in the film The Pajama Game.

I just love the way she moves. She was so unique as a dancer, and choreographer, so identifiable in her style, and I can never get enough of her ... unfortunately there isn't much out there.

Along with Steam Heat and Once a Year Day from the same film, Hernando's Hideaway is still among my favorite numbers of all time.

Here it is, the scene where the new foreman, played by John Raitt (Bonnie's father) tries to con Gladys out of the key to the safe where the accounting books are hidden. Watch it before it's taken down. Choreography by, of course, Bob Fosse:

HOLDER'S ANSWERS MAKE IT OBVIOUS THIS MAN HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING IN AUTHORIZING CIVIL TRIALS FOR TERRORIST MASTERMIND

Sen. Graham has frustrated me again and again in recent years by "crossing the aisle" at the most trying times, but he was spot on in his questioning of a stuttering and incoherent Eric Holder.


( Sen. Lindsey Graham grills Attorney General Eric Holder )



We warned you about this guy Holder. He pushed for pardons for the most despicable characters as Deputy Attorney General during the Clinton administration and worked for a law firm that represents 17 terrorists at Gitmo.

When asked for a list of people in the Justice Department with connections to Gitmo terrorists, Holder said he'd consider providing the information.

Can you imagine the media's reaction had this been asked during the Bush administration, and a Democrat Senator received that reply?

My favorite part is when Graham asks Holder what the procedure would be if Osama bin Laden were captured.

GRAHAM: If bin Laden were caught tomorrow, would it be the position of this administration that he would be brought to justice?

HOLDER: He would certainly be brought to justice, absolutely.

GRAHAM: Where would you try him?

HOLDER: Well, we'd go through our protocol. And we'd make the determination about where he should appropriately be tried. [...]

GRAHAM: If we captured bin Laden tomorrow, would he be entitled to Miranda warnings at the moment of capture?

HOLDER: Again I'm not -- that all depends. I mean, the notion that we --

GRAHAM: Well, it does not depend. If you're going to prosecute anybody in civilian court, our law is clear that the moment custodial interrogation occurs the defendant, the criminal defendant, is entitled to a lawyer and to be informed of their right to remain silent.

The big problem I have is that you're criminalizing the war, that if we caught bin Laden tomorrow, we'd have mixed theories and we couldn't turn him over -- to the CIA, the FBI or military intelligence -- for an interrogation on the battlefield, because now we're saying that he is subject to criminal court in the United States. And you're confusing the people fighting this war.



Holder hasn't a clue, nor can he give any rationale for prosecuting these 5 terrorists in civil court in New York.

But then why am I not surprised. These people are ideologues and their decisions are made for political reasons.

Btw, did you notice when Holder says he knows that we are at war against these terrorists? I guess he didn't get Barack's memo. It's an overseas contingency operation, Eric.

Oh, and just a reminder. You and the President shouldn't come right out and say this guy is guilty and will be executed before he has even gone to trial. Didn't you guys go to law school?

Good job, Lindsey. Now, let me tell you about some of this phony global warming/cap-and-trade hysteria.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION REPORTS JOBS 'CREATED OR SAVED' IN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS THAT DON'T EXIST

And so the follies of this administration continue.

They make up statistics and credit themselves with achievements that defy logic, common sense, and facts.

( Stimulus money goes to districts that don't exist? )

Maybe they're in some of the extra seven states that candidate Obama claimed he visited (fifty-seven) last year.

Supposedly, 11 out of Louisiana's 15 Congressional districts (where money was earmarked) have reported job growth due to Stimulus spending. Only problem is that we only have SEVEN districts!

Has there ever been a more incompetent administration? Jimmy Carter must be so happy knowing he'll soon lose his title as the worst president in U.S. history.

Where has the "mainstream" media been in reporting the truth?

Our creditors (the Chinese) are giving our president lessons on capitalism and warning us about our out-of-control spending and the Democrats insane "health care reform" bills.

And well they should. They hold $2 TRILLION of our debt and are watching Obama printing more funny monry, incurring more deficit spending that all previous presidents combined, and ensuring our debt will DOUBLE over the next ten years.

More and more Americans are finding out (with no help from the media) that that health care they have been promised WON'T BE FREE ... unless you're here illegally.

Obama and the Democrats passed the Stimulus bill, supposedly to keep unemployment under 8% and it is now over 10% and you have to fudge the statistics to keep them that low.

The truth is that those hundreds of billions of dollars in spending are being used (much as was done in Chicago using Annenberg funds, etc.) to help Obama and the Democrats' political base and reward their constituents.

And they haven't even passed Cap and Trade yet, which will eventually allow government bureaucrats control of the very home you live in. They're already heading in that direction in the UK.

( UK Government "Snoops" to enter and regulate private homes )

Anybody want to read Nineteen Eighty-four online for free?

( 1984 )

Now we have the government bringing terrorists into the heart of Manhattan by an Attorney General with a history of pardoning and representating terrorists in the Clinton administration and through his law firm!

Talk about an intelligence bonanza for our enemies when these people and their lawyers start demanding names and intelligence information for their defense.

But under the Democrats, these people ae not at war with us. They're just criminals. Even victims. Now isn't that just about par for the course?

Don't worry, though. The Calvary is coming folks ... and we are the one's we've been waiting for.

See what happens when government gets involved in our lies.

They urge people to volunteer, then set up or support taxpayer-funded bureaucries to administer them - usually getting political support, kickbacks, and votes.

Organizations like SEIU, ACORN, Organizing for America, the NEA, and so on.

But when the kid next door gets out on his or her own and does some good deed, they're there to crush him or her (unless there's some potential for political exploitation).

Volunteerism is on the march ... as long as it has government approval and empowers government. You see, in the 1984ish vocabularly of this administration, it is We the People who are the "special interests."

But it is you and I who are now suporting the interests of these people (with our taxes) who invested heavily in the Obama/Democrat campaign and are looking for their payback.

THIS IS GETTING TO BE EMBARRASSING ... I HAVE A FEELING THESE PICTURES ARE GOING TO BE SCRUBBED ONE DAY - PLUS, REMEMBERING CLINTON'S "NOT A BOW BOW

Look, we've had the Hillary "reset" debacle in Russia and her doing that crouching dance in Africa.

We've had the president bowing to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (despite the White House telling us not to believe our lying eyes), then we have the President dissing the UK by giving a CD collection that didn't work in England and then playing touch-feely with the Queen.

Pick any Joe Biden appearance for a gaffe-a-minute (how about when he noted that the stimulus money that was going toward an AMTRACK tunnel was designed for car traffic?).

Now we have the President bowing down to the waist AND shaking hands with Japanese Emperor Akihoto:


Obama Screws Up Rules of Etiquette on Multiple Levels

ObamaBowsAgain


I wonder how the White House will answer the question of what the heck this president is doing? What explanation will they give this time?

Jet lag?

The first time I met a young Japanese woman I'd met I asked what the proper way of greeting and addressing her would be. I'd heard you don't shake hands and the customary greeting was to nod slightly with your hands at your thigh.

The young lady was very gracious and indicated most Japanese were aware of American customs and didn't take great offense if Americans were a little less formal, etc.

However, this president is really too much and I wonder how many people outside the United States are laughing up their sleeves ... or right out loud.

You'd think this administration would get it right for these formal high-level meetings. You don't shake hands AND bow, and you don't bow halfway down to the floor as if you are a lowly servant.

What? It's not a big thing? Hhmmmm ... that's not what my memory tells me.

I remember when there was a big to-do when Pres. Clinton almost bowed to Akihoto in 1994. The NYT quickly wrote an article defending Clinton's behavior entitled:

THE WORLD; The President's
Inclination: No, It Wasn't a Bow-Bow


It wasn't a bow, exactly. But Mr. Clinton came close. He inclined his head and shoulders forward, he pressed his hands together. It lasted no longer than a snapshot, but the image on the South Lawn was indelible: an obsequent President, and the Emperor of Japan.

Bill Clinton denied bowing to Emperor in 1994

Wow! Not a "bow bow?" You mean like, it depends on what the meaning of "is" is?

Wow! We've sure come a long way in 15 years, haven't we? How low can we go?

Just for fun, how about a little Bow Wow Wow?

A JAPANESE REPORTER FROM FUJI-TV ASKS PRES. OBAMA ABOUT THE A-BOMBINGS OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI AND, IN TRUE OBAMA FASHION, HE AVOIDS ANSWERING THE QUESTION

I wonder if they’re starting to get it as so many Americans are?

Pres. Obama votes "present":

It’s amazing that Obama’s crack team wasn’t able to come up with a coherent answer to a question they had to know they would face. Or were they surprised the Japanese press corps wasn’t as subservient as the American press?

Do you think Obama’s mouthpiece will accuse FUJI-TV of being a mouthpiece for FOX-News?

I wonder if the mainstream press will report this?

Btw, the decision by Democrat President Harry S Truman to drop the A-bombs was a heart-wrenching one made for specific reasons, one of them was that, horrific as it was, it saved millions of casualties that would have resulted in the all-out assault of Japan that would have been necessary.

My dad was in the Pacific. His brothers and many of my ancestors were in various theaters. One of my uncles helped liberate France. Had the A-bombs not been dropped, it’s very likely most of them would not have survived. I probably would not be here today. I have always taken that realization into my life and worldview and the way I have always treated people.

I don’t think our president really is in touch with either our history and what the American people are all about. I don’t blame him entirely. Look how he was raised, who his mentors were, and how he was educated, the people he surrounds himself with (Rev. Wright, Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel, all those wacky leftist czars and appointees).

I think our president’s “coolness” is really a mask for a disturbing “coldness” and detachment from the reality most of us know through our life experience, and the history that is passed down to us through our ancestors who have lived it.

This man has a huge chip on his shoulder about this country, and a great chunk of that comes from a distorted view of America passed down by the likes of Rev. Wright and so many of his mentors and leftist professors. More and more people are coming to see that, I think. I hope.

I pray that one day he realizes the distortion that is in his head and soul.

AFTER EVIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION IS PUBLICIZED, ACORN IS SUING 'THE GOVERNMENT' FOR CUTTING OFF TAXPAYER FUNDS

My head is spinning, as are the bodies of the Founding Fathers in their graves.

The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) is asserting that the Congress' vote to cut of taxpayer funding (for now) is resulting in their being discriminated against because the vote amounts to a bill of attainder.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/12/acorn-sues-unconstitutional-funding-cuts-congress/

Bill of Attainder? You mean like when the Congress threatened to tax certain executives in financial institutions receiving bonuses up to 90% of their compensation if they did not return them?

I find it hilarious that a supposedly non-partisan organization that has been in bed with the Democrat Party for decades, an organization that has engaged in fraudulent voter registration, that worked in concert with the Obama campaign last year, whose founders were involved in embezzling millions of dollars from the organization, that has operated with no oversight or standard accounting practices, that is delinquent in paying their taxes, all with the help of millions (potentially billions until recently) in taxpayer money is concerned about Constitutional Rule of Law!

The Constitution?

Ask a Representative what Constitutional authority allows them to MANDATE that you and I buy health insurance or we could face FINES and even JAIL!

They'll look at you like you're crazy or spout some gibberish.

We have a rouge government that has:

Fired CEOs from a private business.

Dictated what people can be paid.

Taken over two major automakers.

Nationalized banks and financial institutions.

Is currently engaged in a takeover of the health care system.

Is considering surrendering a large part of our sovereignty to a global governmental organization.

Is targeting freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the Free Press, the rights of States, the energy sector, what we eat, where we live, what we drive, how much CO2 we expel, virtually every aspect of our lives ... and people are STILL oblivious to what's going on.

And suddenly someone is concerned about The Constitution because We The People are refusing to GIVE THEM OUR MONEY!

It's an Alice Through the Looking Glass World ... don't you think?

Isn't it funny how the worst offenders of the Constitution are the first ones to claim their rights are being discriminated against when they don't get their way?

Or are you one of those who thinks you're going to get something for nothing and to Hell with The Constitution?

Be careful what you wish for.

OMG! THE LIBERAL BOSTON GLOBE ACTUALLY PUBLISHES A REAL STORY CITING PHONY STIMULUS JOB STATS

Have you seen the president's new approval ratings?

New Obama approval ratings

What's going on up there? Are the reporters and editors suddenly wondering who's going to get the axe next, feeling a surge of self-preservation as newspaper readership continues to sink?

Can't afford to buy sugar to put in your Kool-Aid anymore?

I loved the college (Bridgewater State College) which supposedly used $77,181 in stimulus money for 160 full-time work-study jobs.

Let me see, that amounts to $482.31 per student job ... IF they actually created 160 jobs.

The actual total is closer to ... uhhh ... ZERO!

Remember when unemployment was 5.1% and the media railed against the previous administration? Remember when 20,000 job losses in a month was a crisis?

Today, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000 job losses a month and barely a whisper except to note that this is a positive thing.

Unemployment is officially 10.2% but actual unemployment (when counting people who have given up or who have taken part-time jobs) is actually 16-17% some say over 20% when you use the older methods of determining unemployment statistics.

The more people out of work, the more dependency on Big Brother, the faster we slide into tyranny ... the faster we lose our liberty.

Articles like this are too few and far between.

The coverage of the Ft. Hood terrorist murders, 14 dead and 29 wounded at last report, is a grim reminder of how far we have to go to get the truth out.

When the press suppresses news, when the president warns people not to "jump to conclusions (despite judging police stupid and playing the race card himself in the Cambridge case), when officials warn about "backlash" against certain groups when there has been no evidence of that in 8 years since 9-11, we have a long way to go.

To think that Americans who believe in The Constitution, the rule of law, free enterprise, liberty, morality, self-reliance, and personal responsibility are blasted as extremists and radicals while the pundits bend over backwards to avoid reporting a real terrorist who shot over 40 people and would have shot and killed more were it not for the bravery of a 5'3" mother of two whao had taken 3 bullets herself.

Quite a puzzling contrast, yes?

To quote President Obama, "It's hard to comprehend," only not to comprehend why terrorists like this do the things they do. We know why. It's hard to imagine how so many people can be so agenda-driven they'll twist themselves into pretzels ignoring reality.
