Former Chief Scientist Condemns Green Scaremongering

It is becoming more and more clear all the time that nobody trusts scientists or any longer believes a word they say. Statements like that are bound to infuriate those scientists and fans of science who increasingly behave as if science is a religion. The fact is however that science, derived from the Latin word "scienta - to know" is about knowledge and the more hysterical the science lobby gets in trying to shout down those who question their irrational theories and wild assumptions the more clear it becomes that they know little and can learn nothing because they cling to scientific dogmas as religious fundamentalists cling to the dogmas of their religion.

What infuriates these "science as God" wallahs more than anything is the irritating habit intelligent people have of displaying their curiosity by questioning the certainties of The Church Of Science. This is very apparent at the moment in the field of climate change ... or "anthropogenic climate change" as the dogma would have it. Anybody who dares to question the latest idiocies of "climate change science" is immediately denounced as a "climate change denier" although few of the questioners are denying anything.

What is not proven yet and probably cannot be proved is that climate change, the evidence of which is clear to anybody who spends any time outside, is entirely man made, entirely natural of caused by a mix of man made and natural factors. I am refusing to use "anthropogenic" to annoy the climate change hysteria and and also because it's silly and pretentious (and entirely typical of the science lobby) to use five syllables when two will describe the condition perfectly.

So what would the science lobby do to save the world from the consequences of climate change. Well they cannot agree but some have come up with weird and whacky schemes that owe more to James Bond and Austin Powers films that to practical problem solving. Others however are still flip flopping on how hysterical we should get about the likely consequences of climate change. Which side of the fence they are on depends on who is paying their salaries or offering the biggest bungs and most lavish hospitality at the moment.

A case in point is Tony Blair's former chief scientific advisor Sir David King. When he was working for Blair, who governed by fear and panic, Sir David was a regular prophet of doom, predicting that 80% of the global human population could be wiped out by rising sea levels as the ice cap melts. Now Sir David has a different agenda as he is warning AGAINST climate change hysteria.

See what we mean, you just can't trust anything scientists say. Unless of course they are experts in the science of riding two horses with one arse.

Its Official - All Statitics Are Lies
By Ed Butt

We were gobsmacked in the office to read this morning that the United States economy had come out of recession. You only need to look back a few days to our post Systemic Dishonesty to see what The Daily Stirrer thinks of all this empty talk for recoverery and growth. In the case of the United States however, a country whose insane and amateurish Presiudent seems intent on destroying the national economy the idea of coming out of recession is more of a joke than anywhere else.

With unemployment rising and tax revenues in freefall, consumer spending dead as people struggle to pay off debts while interest rates are low and the world increasingly unwilling to buy US Federal debt what is going on?

The truth is the US phoney recovery has been funded by the Obama administration printing monopoly money and offering huge handouts to failing industries and to "community organising groups" i.e. ethnic minority, gay rights and socialist organisations that make no contribution to the economy whatsoever.

Let's hope our equally woolly brained government does not try to go down this track because the truth is our economy is even more fucked than the American economic disaster zone

28 October 2009 Vaclav Klaus For Prime Minister Last week it semed the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, which will transfer a lo of sovereign rights away from the democratically elected governments of member states in the EU to unelected bureaucrats, was a done deal. Only Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic was holding out against the treaty which must be ratified by all 27 member nations.

You may remember that the only nation allowed to vote on this vital constitutional issue, Ireland, held a referendum in which this blatant move towards the creation of a Federal European Superstate was soundly rejected. In a display of the utter cntempt in which they hold democrcy and the voters they would exercise total power over the unelected bureaucrats told the Irish government the result of the democratic vote was unacceptable and another referendum would have to be held... and another and if necessary another until the Euro rats were given the answer they wanted.
After the Irish, in a mood of grim resignaion voted yes in a second referendum it seemed the obdurate Mr. Klaus was on the verse of caving in under immense pressure from the unelected leaders of the EU providede his country could e granted an opt out from sevral clauses in the treaty that might threaten their future independence.

It seemed some kind of compromise would be agreed. At the eleventh hour however it seems the resistance of the Czech President has awanked others small nations to the threat the treaty poses to their independence and right of self determination. Other nations are demanding opt outs from clauses they feel are disadvantageous to them. The whole think may be on the brink of falling apart.

If this is a victory for freedom and independence over the forces of the dark side let's not be too polite to put the boot in while the bastards are down.

Legislating Against People Thinking For Themselves
We have written here on many aspects of the Brave New Workd being created by Nanny State and her cohorts in big food and big pharma. Proposals for compulsory vaccination have been highlightede, plans for increased surveillance have ben exposed as control freakery rather than acting in the public interest, basically The Daily Stirrer is on the side of freedom of speech, action and thought against the dark forces of The New World Order.

Now we have another thing that will convince you those who claim they are acting in your interests aren't. The mass medication of your daily bread:
Folic Acid in Flour

Yes, though most of the goodness of whole grains is lost in the modern milling process the government is proposing to replace it with manufactured supplements. As usual we urge you to ask, Cui Bono? Who benefits?

Not we punters certainly, we must pay for the milling and processing that takes naryral nutrients out of the flour then pay for the artificial additives that replace them.

Sick Of Nick, Sicker Of Pete

I tried not to write anything about BNP leader Nick Griffin on Question Time, my position has been made clear many times before.I do not agree with BNP policies but feel we are straying onto very dangerous ground for democracy if we start banning elected representatives from appearing on certain television shows because certain people dislike their views. Having said that, I did not watch Question Time this week not because of the controversy but because I have not watched the programme for over ten years.

Sick of Nick Sicker Of Pete

For years I have been a campaigner for action on climate change. As the cause was progressively hijacked by scientists however I have become more and more suspicious of their quick fix theories which may probably land us in a bigger mess than we are in now but will certainly make $billions for the Corporations that fund the scientific research. As Nathan Givens says in the above article however, and as with the arguments about mass vaccination, the "scientific case" takes on a religious tone and anyone who dares question the scientists is attacked by a rabid mob. READ ALL Where Angels Fear To Tread by Nathaniel Givens.

As the Labour Party become increasingly become increasingly desperate to hold on to power by any means so the tactics to which they are prepared to stoop become dirtier and sleazier. The Eurosceptic Conservatives led by David Cameron have decided to support a group opposed to the notion of a European supertate or to any further transfer of national sovereignty to the cabal of unelected bureaucrats that really runs Europe. That is honest of them if a tad expedient as they are wellaware of how deeply suspicious of Europe most British voters are. In the European Parliamentary group with which the Conservtive MEPs now sit are a small number of East European nationalists with some views that are farly shocking to British ears. These people are fairly cool about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and rank the crimes of Stalinist Russia against their own nations as a crime against humanity equal to the extermination of Jews.

It is not a view I would agree with but what do I know of Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Hungary and The Czech Republic?

And what does Labour Foreign Secretary David Milliband know, because he has lost the plot completely and conflated the Conservatives choice of European Parliamentary Associates with approval of the Holocaust.

How typical of a member of the Labout Thought Police hierarchy to be completely unable to understand that people in those nations that suffered oppression by the forces of Stalinist Russia might just, at a pinch, have a different perspective on the events of 1939 - 45 than the people of our West European democracies.

The United States, the country formerly know as "the world's most powerful nation" is bankrupt.

It will be a long time before the Obama controlled US Mainstream Media reports this but the blogosphere and online news organisations are on the case (WND report) which is nice to know.

The US budget deficit is more than four times the official estimate, over $5trillion. All this must be funded by borrowing. The way nations borrow money is by issuing bonds on which they pay a fixed interest rate over a certain term. For many years the tiger economies of the Pacific Rim have been buying up US Treasury Bonds to the extent tht China and India how have such enormous dollr reverves they can manipulate the US Government. Other buyers of US Bonds include Japan, Singapore, Malysia and the autonomous Chinese territory of Hong Kong.

All these nations are getting very cautious about increasing their dollar holdings for many reasons not least of which is the insane spending plans of Barack Obama's Administration of Amateurs.

When a nation cannot sell its bonds on the international markets it can only meet its debts by buying its own bonds or effectively printing money. The United States of America, with its economy contracting and tax revenues in freefall is printing money fast enough to cause a global paper shortage. It is this policy that is causing the slide in the dollar exchange rate against other currencies traded in the world markets. More alarming for American businesses and shoppers though is the leap in commodity prices the dollar crisis has brought about. Life is going to get expensive for Americans and by extension for us all because American consumption has driven the global economy for several decades

Last month The Daiy Stirrer reported on the true state of the US Economy. Remember you read it here first.

Some of us are just born sceptics I guess. I keep hearing this phrase Climate Change Deniers thrown at anybody who questions the "climate change science." Only a few people on the baby eating fringe of the rabid right are actually denying climate change is something big going on in our world right now. What is happening in the debate over what we should do about it is as usual "science" is being turned into a sacred cow and anyone who asks intelligent questions is automatically branded a climate change denier.

The fact is all these schemes for seeding clouds, spraying reflective particles in the upper atmosphere and tinkng with oceanic ecology are entirely untested, cannot possibly be tested and which could have catastrophic consequences if they don't work as expected.

Also it is way too late for scientific tinkering to help. The arctic permafrost is thawing. All we can do is batten down the hatches and brace ourselves.

Course if 40 years ago the scientists had sat around stroking their chins and saying "hmmm, well a lot more study is needed before we can form any conclusions," we might not be in such desperate straits now.

My experience of having anyone on my project team who described himself as a scientist is they would always deliver late if at all, always be way over budget and usually had done something incredibly clever which did not actually adress the problem they were supposed to be solving.

We need to be working on wave, marine current and run of river generation schemes, water distribution systems, crops that can tolerate extreme weather, mass transport systems for when petrol is �10 a gallon, sea defences, practical stuff like that. All the technologies exist so why involve scientists?

And that in my experience is the attitude of Big Pharma and Big Healthcare to their customers. You will not question, you will not think, you will do as you are told. It is an attitude supported by the wretchedly incompetent Labour government in Britain and the equally inept and authoritarian Obama administration in the USA. There was even talk through the summer of creating a criminal offence to prosecute people who refused the under-developed and deeply suspect Swine Flu vaccine. Fortunately elected representatives who wanted to hold onto their jobs and were aware of the level of public mistrust in politics and the healthcare industry stymied that one.

As the pressure mounts to push us all towards consenting to be vaccinated and reports of the occasional death from flu are hyped while reports of serious side effects following administration of vaccines are dismissed as coincidence, the first case of somebody being seriously damaged by a flu vaccine has come in to remind us the main concern of the vaccine manufacturers is not our health but their own profits and the major concern of political groups is to kep major donors like Baxter International and Glaxo Smith Kilne sweet.

When someone seems very keen to do you a favour, so keen they start being menacing about it always ask yourself "Cui Bono," who benefits. Cicero was no fool.

Mandy To Address The Commons No member of the House Of Lords has ever spoken in The Commons. It is a convention that exists for very good reason. So why is the Labour government again showing its contempt for democracy and the constitutuion by inviting the twice disgraced as an MP Peter Mandelson to take part in a session in the Commons?

It's clear to me what is happening. While Brown and Co. pay lip service to the idea of electoral reform they are really nudging us towards MPs being appointed by No. 10.

Let Down By Hope? Embrace Nihilistic Despair

As the second phase of the MPs expenses scandal reaches epidemic proportions and begins to look as if it will claim more (political) lives that the much publicised Swine Flu epidemic, it casts a shadow over the coming election. No party is untainted, arguably the Liberal Democrats are least damaged because on most cases their fiddling is no more than any company executive would get up to. They are not undamaged though. This has left a lot of people asking, "Who can I vote for, which party can I trust?

We've only once had a candidate in my constituency so I usually don't vote. I did vote for the Natural Law Party a couple of times because their yogic flyers made me laugh...

When I explain to humourless Labour cavassers that I will not be voting because I support the Loonys it elicits a long winded lecture on how privileged we are to live in a democracy and get a vote. This gives me the opportunity to stick the boot in by saying if the Labour Party really believed that they would bring in PR pronto then instead of my vote being truly wasted in a constituency where the result is a forgone conclusion, I might actually be able to contribute to the election of a Lib Dem or Green through the regional list.

in the run up to the election we will be writing much more on electoral reform and the importance this time around of voting for the fringe parties or the independent candidate to show the major parties government exists to serve the public rather the public existing for the convenience of politicians.

This morning The Guardian Newspaper reported it had been gagged, a court had issued a restraining order fobidding the paper from reporting or even referring to a written question tabled in Parliament.

The paper sought an emergency hearing to lodge an appeal and won - thanks to the support of bloggers, twitterers and commenters in news threads. Much to the chagrin of The Guardian however it was conservative blogger and wannabe MP Iain Dale broke the news that the law firm behind the case, specialists in such work, had folded. Now the lawyers Carter Ruck and Partners and their client, oil trading company Trafigura can be named.

The irony of this case is before it was brought nobody had heard of Trafigura or Carter Ruck. Now everybody has. This sorry tale does expose how an arcane and archaic set of British laws are being used by the intrenational elite and the dark forces of corporate fascism to hide their crime and malfeasance

In a nutshell UK law states that if a libel is published in Britain against anyone anywhere in the world and that publiation can be read in the target's domicile then a suit can be launched in a British court. This was not too bad even 15 years ago but now anything published on the net is considered to be published in Britain and the publisher can be sued in a British court. You can bet all the various branches of New World Order promoters are fully aware of the potential here for silencing criticism and suppressing investigative reporting.

Corporations and individuals are using the law to simply bully their critics because the cost of fighting a UK case for, say, a small American magazine is too much of a risk. And with courts prepared to issue restraining orders like the one just overturned, cases that are in the public interest can simply be stomped on and swept under the carpet.

This article is at the top of the list for it's in depth reporting of the general situation. I'm sure many people will hate green campaigner George Monbiot. I must admit at times I feel like shoving his cycling helmet up his pastronising arse blunt end first (I drive very politically incorrect cars, hating cyclists is a sacred obligation for me) but he is a good journalist and did a investigative reporting job here British Libel Laws

We knew it was going to happen. When a dog bites you on the arse once it's more than likely the wretched creature will di so again should you be fool enough to go back within biting range.

The MPs expenses scandal was a mad dog of a crisis. MPs would have been better advise to come clean, pay back the money they must have known they fiddled and in the more serious cases conformed they would stand down at the next election. Instead many, particularly among those on the Labour benches chose to tough it out. We have remarked many times before on the authoritarian tendencies of the Labour Party however and a symptom of authoritarianism is the development of a delusional belief one is above the law.

One of the chief offenders it has emerged is Gordon Brown. The Prime Minister, during his time in the top job and as Chancellor of the Exchequer claimed an astonishing �12,000 in cleaning bills. How dirty can one man be?

it is difficult to see how Brown can survive this latest embarrassment. Does anyone else think we might have a new Prime Minister by Christmas?

The EU Turns On Czech President
Ian R Thorpe I usually don't have much time for Daniel Hannan but he is increasdingly becoming the only English voice willing to speak out against the bureaucratuic tyranny that is strangling Europe. As a classical liberal myself, socially liberal and economically a supporter of trade and enterprise so long as it it responsibly supervised and those who step beyond the limits of what is reasonable and fair are punished, I deplore the increasing levels of governmental control freakery being displayed by the bureaucractic dictatorship in Brrussels and European capitals and bt the Obama administration in the USA.

In that at least I am on the same side of the political fence as Daniel Hannan and the Eurosceptic conservatives. We stand where we stand for different reasons but if we do not find common cause in resisting the New World Order we will son find ourselves being told where we can and cannot stand.

As a liberal and a believer in democracy then I must give Daniel Hannan, Declan Ganley, Vaclav Klaus and all the others who make up the Erop resistance my full backing. We can sort out who we want to talk to later. For now we must all defend our right to say what is on our mind.

And The Nobel Peace Prize This year Goes To...
...The Butcher Of Helmand. Yes the greatest warmonger ever, the President with within a day of his inauguration was signing executive orders commanding strikes by unmanned US military aircraft on civilian targets in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the man whose weakness and tendency to cave in as soon as anybody disagrees with him, the man who is driving the world towards nuclear proliferation because of weakness, naivete and inexperience has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It makes no odds of course, the politically correct lackeys of the Illuminati who hand out these arse kisses to corrupt and morally bankrupt politicians and internationally acclaimed wankers are about as relevant as the Chief Druid these days.

The only problem with this award is Obama's already over inflated ego is out of control without anybody heaping more undeserved praise on him. The failed lawyer, absentee senator, failed community organiser (by playing the race card he helped bully the U.S. banks into granting million dollar mortgages to people with no income, no assets and no job prospects thus playing a small but significant role in bringing about the credit crunch) failed university lecturer whose only qualification for any of these jobs he claims to have held is his ability to play the race card.

Until Barack Obama is cut down to size the world will become a more dangerous place with every day that passes.

The problem lies in getting the mass of politically correct Obama worshippers to desist being blinded by the colour of the man's skin to the very obvious fact that Barack Hussein Obama a.k.a Barry Soetoro a.k.a Barry Dunham, the man with many names is nothing more than the paid hireling of the International Finance CArtel and their political wing The Bilderberg Group. Until people can take that on board, can put aside the brainwashing of the past forty years and accept that equality means exactly that and we owe people of the dark skinned races nothing except equal respect and equal opportunities to develop their nations according to the will of and in the interests of the people of those nations we will continue to put ourselves at the ercy of the control freaks who pull Barack Obama's strings.

You would think the sleazy little scumsucker might be getting the message. But no, the man is effing shameless.

Last week in Britain the first death associated with the HPV vaccine occurred. The young girl who dies had an undiagnosed tumor in her chest that, according to medical experts, could have killed her at any time.

It is worth noting that the vaccine did not kill her at any time but at a very specific time. Right after she had the vaccine which suggests that the dose of toxin injected into her provoked such an extreme reaction her body could not cope with it.

There are a number of questions; why was a life threatening tumour undiagnosed. I have no medical qualification but a quick search of reliable sites on the internet tends to confirm my gut reaction that a life threatening tumour would be causing some very noticable symptoms and it would take an unlikely combination of ineptitude from parents, teachers and family doctor to have overlooked the problem until it reached the stage at which te girl could have died at any time. I am not naming the family involved as my concern is not with them but with the health authorities and how cosy they are with vaccine manufacturers

Media reports this week tell us medical scientists are expressing relief that there has been no panic such as was generated by the MMR vaccine. The death being so close to the administration of the vaccine was just coincidence they say. Well it is always coincidence it seems. When a child develops auism symptoms, encephalitis or starts to suffer seizures shortly after receiving MMR vaccine, when serious side effects occur in the wake of other multiple vaccines. And always the response to concerns is the same. The authorities start by crying "co-incidence", there is then a period of obsfuscation, obstruction and finally a whitewash as everything possible is done to prevent a serious and impartial investigation of what is going on. There has not been a kerfuffle about HPV vaccine in this country yet though there is certainly one going on in the United States, in those states where the vaccine has been made compulsory

The controversy about the HPV vaccine, when it blows up here, will not be about safety but about cost. The Guardian reported in the past few days that the vaccine will save "between 3 and 4 hundred lives a year.

Now forgetting the call from the lunatic fringe of the vaccine lobby to vaccinate boys against cervical cancer on the basis that they might be carriers and infect somebody ( but if all the girls are vaccinated how will boys infect them?) that still leaves 300,000 female children a year at �300 per course (Vaccine costs -Times Online) which comes to �150 million a year. Even if all the estimated 1000 deaths a year from cervical cancer could be eliminated that is still a very expensive exercise.

Attempts by medical science and big pharma to abolish illness and death are a bottomless pit into which we can pour infinite amounts of money and the law of diminishing returns appies. The real object of the exercise is not to free the world of death however but to play on people's fears to make us all dependent on the healthcare and pharma industries.

The vaccine lobby are always quick to accuse their critics of irrational sentimentality but are they not equally guilty of emotional blackmail, of playing on people's sentiments to persuade us that all deaths can be avoided if only we will part with enough taxpayers' money.

I have been campaigning about climate change for over thirty years. Now, the more I read of efforts by governments, academics and corporate interests to come up with a quick fix the more I am convinced they are working a scam to make quick, easy money. For decades the only people concerned about the environment were considered cranks, hippies, crusties, crackpots and weirdie-beardies. Now quite suddenly the politicians, mainstream academics, industry and commerce and big media are all jumping on the climatebandwagon.

So what changed? Well suddenly this motely crew of charlatans, opportunists and self promoters discovered there is money to be made, power to be gained and fame to be courted. And of course they needed to divert our attention from the god-awful way they fucked up the world's financial system.... click button to read article
