Mission? To find and silence those scientists and skeptics who have put in peril attempts by transnational progressives to use phony climate science as a model for international wealth redistribution and, ultimately, a centralized world-governmental power that transcends individual state sovereignty. By seizing their property and clamping down on “denier” dissent.
— Which, I was kinda hoping for a US/UK alliance that would take the fight to, say, Iran, or at least militant Islam, but, you know, baby steps.
And in fairness, militant Islamists tend to fight back with explosives and such. Whereas climate “deniers” use strongly worded press releases that the mainstream press studiously ignores. So.

[…] are no such punishments contemplated in the legislation, it’s safe to say that oversight is a feature, rather than a […]
Robinson interviews James Delingpole, who has things to say about the novel religiosity of the AGW and environmental crowds. Which, really, is a laugh riot, worshipping “nature”, as “nature” as such has been expelled from the politics of the left.
I wish I were able to say this was a surprise.
Money quote from Teh Grauniad article:
Indeed!
One debates whether to be persuaded by the dissonance of “liberal” rejections of bad religion when they’re even worse dogmatists and zealots, or by that of “liberal” sensitivities in service of Mother Ghaia, animals, and various not-white peoples when they have to lie through their teeth — the liberals, not the animals — in order to manifest this planetary salvation.
The moral consistency, it is lacking. So dumb.
And in fairness, militant Islamists tend to fight back with explosives and such. Whereas climate “deniers” use strongly worded press releases that the mainstream press studiously ignores. So.
As Insty used to be so fond of saying: beware the incentive structure you’re setting up. Sooner or later, people will figure out what works.
Boom!
Boom!
That whistle-blower MUST be found and exterminated!
But, unfortunately (ofcourseofcourse), he seems to well inside their decision loop.
For a group that claims ‘science’ as their own, AGW proponents sure are an excitable bunch.
Then again, it’s been so long since we had us a real good Inquisition. Dibs on the iron maiden!
Here ya go! Enjoy!
Hey, if they actually get close, do ya think maybe a certain sooper-sekret passphrase might make it’s way (indelibly) onto the innernuts?
Something to look forward to.
Speaking of Glenn Beck (hey, someone, somewhere is doing so), here’s Stu Brugiere’s explanation of What Glenn Said (Stu being Glenn’s producer and therefore in tune with what he means because he has to listen to him all day and read his flurry of e-mails all night).
There seems to be a lot more going on as well.
Because nothing says Science! quite like suppressing the free flow of information.
So, where are all the civil libertarians and free press advocates on this one? This could be the Pentagon Papers for the information age…
Dirty bastiches at DOJ need to find out exactly how Iranian hackers co-opted and stole one of our stealth drones, in mid-flight. Who’s the leaker? I’ve doubts that goat-fucking Iranians could manage this; is Anonymous that powerful now, that one of those Grandma’s PC-stealing virusjackers can now penetrate and take out our best stealth technology? If so, then we are well and truly fucked.
If that ain’t chutzpah, I don’t know what is. How dare they distort the debate by telling you the stuff we tell each other but don’t want you to know?!?!?
Serr8d, I don’t know if this is related, but I certainly don’t know that it isn’t either.
U.S. Military Drones Infected With Mysterious Computer Virus
‘They are just computers’, as were the Stuxnex-infected Iranian boxes. Why each one of these drones were not re-imaged daily, with an image kept guarded under the same level security that protects Baracky, is beyond me. Heads should literally roll on the floors of these facilities. Literally, thump and roll.
Correct choice, Lamo. But there’s perhaps another 22-year-old hacker what gave up our drone; should s/he, when found, be subject to more severe punishment than ‘Liberal Leavenworth’?
A debate! Who knew?
Huntsman lied. He’s no conservative.
Does Romney have less elective time in office than Obama when he ran?
I wonder if Perry reads PW. He invoked tebow in one of his answers.
Perry as Tebow? That was a good line.
Bachmann has no room to spank Newt judging by the agricultural subsidies and medicaid payments her husband has received.
Yes. Mitt’s got the one 4 year term. Obama had 6 years in the IL Senate.
Perry gets hot.
“Obama had 6 years in the IL Senate.”
doing what?
Doesn’t seem like Fox has a GOP bias at all judging by the questions they are asking.
huntsmann : let’s share china’s “values”
Huntsman says we need to get together with the Chinese who share our “values.” He said that just for sdferr.
Letting newborn babies die and voting “Present”, best I can tell.
I do agree with Santorum about making manufacturing profitable and regulations hospitable in the good old USA.
Newt is not happy with the Judicial.
gets applause
Huntsman is a monkeyjumper, and all the monkeys have gotten the word. Just watch ’em eye him hard when he comes around. They know.
Heh.
Huntsman seems like he would make a good suspect on Criminal Minds.
huntsmann “we have rule of law and china values”
Paul says play defense.
Oy. Paul busts out the crazy uncle.
We don’t need no steenkin war.
ronpaul meltdown
If Iran wants to kill somebody the royal saudi pervert ambassador is as good starting point I think
I don’t know. Maybe we focus inward for a decade.
“Maybe we focus inward for a decade.”
i have the same problem with gum and walking
Bachmann kicks Paul in the shins.
Paul is annoying me when he talks
the real ronpaul
shushy shush ron ron
HEY
I tried like three places already to order a Tom n Jerry… one said no we can’t make that we don’t have egg whites… and I was like ok thank you for checking
The failure of our education system is far scarier than Iran getting nukes.
go newt
Happy, did you try to buy the T&J mix at BevMo?
huntsmann goes cain
I haven’t tried yet but I will
Newt is the one I’d most like to go to Otis Jackson’s Soul Dog with and have tasty fried chicken and yams and waffles
it’s all about the delicate balance
Huntsman ignores the beep. Good for him.
Obama sucks , self serving narcissist.
Perry is all states rights. Focus inward.
really we have to yammer about the border some more?
yup it’s red meat
Romney wants a National ID card. maybe
National ID cards can’t be too far away, eh Mitt?
they’re letting Huntsman talk way too much
Megyn asks Huntsman if he will sell his soul for the Hispanic vote.
Huntsman says no.
His eyebrow is freaky.
rick s should get more time
He will. They’ve moved on to social issues.
Chris is talking about how mitt loves the gays and hates the guns
Chris is calling Mitt a pander bear.
Santorum is deep deep deep in the gay marriage weeds my god who cares
Mitt says he bends like a willow branch. He is bipartisan like that.
Romney is so handsome he looks like the guy what sold us mom’s casket
Mitt doesn’t like cheap shots.
mittens knows how to bs
Bachmann is desperate.
abortion is a seminal issue!
Santorum needs a haircut what’s up with that
Bachmann is kind of a bitch.
Huntsman is kind of a twat
the former baracky guy huntsmann
Via HotAir, Newt’s actual congressional history.
all the rebups are bad elect baracky for hope and sumthing
b for p
I’m more worried about Mr. Newt’s future really
but most of all I don’t want the nominee to be Romney cause he’s too fancy
Abortion is a post-semenal issue.
Uncle Ron is on with Hannity. Still crazy.
piece of shit french whore Chirac gets a “a two-year suspended prison sentence for diverting public funds and abusing public trust” and we’re supposed to feel sorry that europe is hindenburging?
cash for the merchandise
cash for the button hooks
cash for the cotton goods
cash for the hard goods
cash for the fancy goods
cash for the soft goods
cash for the noggins and the pinkins and the firkins
we’re supposed to feel sorry that europe is hindenburging?
Not sorry, but that flaming wreckage is going to come down somewhere, and I’d rather we not be under it.
Some more drone story links.
This just in: Cristopher Hitchens now knows whether there’s an afterlife.
RIP and thanks for the killer prose.
Couple more.
Carole King & James Taylor – So Far Away
Lucky me! The only kind who hadn’t been sick just yacked everywhere. Now I get to do laundry ’til the wee hours.
Hey, it’s a song about armadillos, by the “Pork” and “Badger” guy.
Though it never mentions the expensive “hookers ‘n’ blow” habits, so I have to question how much this guy actually knows about the beasts. I mean, armadillos aren’t exactly indigenous to the British Isles… (right?)
Is John Aravosis crazy stupid or crazy smart? Assuming no one could possibly be stupid enough to think that this lame stunt is going to stick, I think it’s just barely possible that it’s all a ruse to get Republicans lined up behind Romney.
This business of pinning racism on someone because they used some of the same words as racists is just retarded. Since Aravosis is at least barely smart enough to be able to open up a web browser, he can’t be serious.
I’d forgotten that Aravosis had taken an early stance on Jeff Gannon’s gay porn cock o’ lies. He actually lists that as one of the stories he’s most proud of covering.
Aravosis? Stupid. But then, his audience is too, so there’s a certain practicality there.
Aravosis? The man’s name is a syndrome. ‘Nuff said.
Did you know there was an AmericaBlog Gay? I’m honestly unsure what to make of that. It’s tantamount to having another protein wisdom, only this other one written by a witty white guy.
It’s like you woke up in the morning, and there was an exact copy of your house next door to you, complete with wife, kids, dogs and shrubs that are way overdue for trimming. That last bit is not metaphorical.
Anyway: eerie.
Someone should start a “Look how heterosexual I am!” blog.
RIP Christopher Hitchens.
I no longer drink, for all the rather obvious reasons, but my fondest over indulgence was with Hitchens in ’99. We spent 4 hours just cranking back–vodka for me, scotch for him.
He was hilarious. I am richer for it.
I heard about Hitchens this morning. Didn’t know the guy. Some of his stuff I liked, but he was as much about the performance art as he was about substance. Possibly more.
I’m currently looking for the first Gannon post, and chuckling.
Even Crissy Mathews thinks Aravosis is a dishonest crapweasel. This is apparently Roberts’ schtick.
…and now I’m well into the “Oliver Willis gets into a battle of wits with XXXX and doesn’t really acquit himself all that well” series. And chuckling. Did I mention that?
“loaded airbiscuit of innuendo” should be bronzed and mounted, with a plaque.
Christopher Hitchens woke up dead this morning. Not unexpectedly; that outcome is guaranteed to all of us.
As a celebrated atheist who spent much of his life bashing God and godbotherers, he’s now knowing the final answer: either he has an immortal soul that was collected and returned to it’s Maker (or, perhaps rejected and sent somewhere, maybe to be reborn as a goat-fucking Iranian) or he spent his life as just another planet-bound animal with a short lifespan and a mildly-swollen brain case; in which case he’s returned to the nothing from whence he came, quickly to be forgotten.
Either way, sayanora. Wouldn’t want to be like you were, really.
Ah. “loaded airbiscuit of innuendo” was in the first Jeff Gannon story.
Those are classics, Slartibartfast.
It’s classics all the way down. We’re just looking at strata from a specific geological era.
Oliver Willis got in a battle with a pallet of Twinkies, and won.
