Climate Change: Little White Lies and Big Brown Lies
The Copenhagen summit conference on climate change was never about climate change. It was about money, power, control and the need to divert attention from the failure of globalization by the spreading of fear and panic. The idea was to make us feel dependent on our leaders. Pity the science used to back up the case for action was so easily exposed as fraudulent. Read more...

You Scumbag, You Maggot, You Cheap, Lousy Meat Product

The Christmas song Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McColl has been around for twenty years. So why now have the Politically Correct Thought Police chosen to brand it homophobic because it uses the word faggot. In the context of the song faggot does not refer to homosexuals but is used in one of its several other senses. You could be forgiven for thinking the shirtlifters want to make us hate them so they will have something to whine about.

Copenhagen Climate Conference: The Stink Of Shit And Corruption

The spiel from the control freak governments of developed nations in the run up to the Copenhagen Climate Conference billed as the last chance to save the planet from a global warming catastrophe went something like this."You must listen to the scientists, you must not think for yourselves, you must never question authority," Luckily we all knew the scientists chanting this mantra were as much crooks and liars as the politicians and billionaires they worked for...follow link and read the whole sordid story in a new window:

Solipsism: Symptoms And Cure
Solipsism, if you are not familiar with the word, can be defined in two ways:(i) the theory that the self can be aware of nothing but its own experiences and states. n(ii) the theory that nothing exists or is real but the self.

Why Copenhagen Climate Change Conference Must Fail
In a surprise statement today the world's leading climate change expert annouced that he hopes the Copenhagen climate change summit, billed as our last chance to avoid a global warming catastrophe, ends in failure. Any deal struck, according to James Hansen, would involve the creation of a carbon trading market and in putting the interests of capitalism ahead of solving the problem would only make matters worse

Is The Turner Prize Just Shite Or Is Talking Bollocks Really Art?

Science - A Career For Tossers
Science is a career for tossers. That sounds like a sweeping generalisation so let's clarify. Nothing wrongs with physics, chemistry or biology, stuff like oceanography, electronics, hydraulics, applied sciences, they're good too. When people tell you they are scientists though its too vague. It usually means they are irritating little droids who go around with clipboards asking stupid questions.

Things Just Keep Getting Better!

The other day Boggartblog brought you the news that we're just not drinking enough, tipping the unfinished bottle down the sink wastes an incredible amount of the old Mucho Collapso and so we should all ensure that we drink every last drop, a practice Boggartblog has advocated for years. But things just keep getting better...

Swine Flu - If You Need A Crisis Just Invent One
The Daily Stirrer has always been sceptical about the Swine Flu epidemic. It first hit the news just before the G20 economic summit meeting of world leaders earlier in the year. The summit was ostensibly convened to hack out a solution to the global financial crisis but was in reality a front for the first step towards creating a world government. One of the delegates even went so far as to hint at this in a television interview. Asked if the task the summit had set delegates for the future was to create a global economy this man said, "Our task is to create a global culture."

Electricity bills set to rise to pay for wind farm subsidies
While sensible people agree that the climate is causing serious problems few people still think this is due solely to CO2 emissions from human activity. Even the author of Gaia theory has said the problem is more complex. Unfortunately climate scientists with their snouts in the tax money trough are still pushing the discredited idea that wind turbines and solar panels can meet our energy needs. Well if that is the case why are domestic fuel bills rising to pay for subsidies paid to the operators of these failed technologies. [ also Daily Stirrer 21 May 2012

The Question That Wob't Go Away: Who Is Barack Obama?
So now Chris Matthews isn’t the only one experiencing a little thrill when he thinks about Barack (omit middle name) Obama.

This is what has just happened in the US: births to the white majority in America fell in the first six months of last year to just 49.6 per cent of the total, meaning that Caucasians, as they are quaintly known, may within the next 30 years become an endangered species.Given America’s boast that it is a land of ...

Executive Order 13547: “The Sleeping Power Grab” (by Erika Johnsen)
To be fair, President Obama’s executive-order output hasn’t unreasonably outpaced that of his predecessors – his especial willingness to actively circumvent Congress and snatch huge gobs of power for the federal bureaucracy only makes it feel like he has.
