Global Warming Meltdown

The Climate Research Unit [CRU], which has been very instrumental in climate melt down research, confirmed that the very embarrassing emails published on the World Wide Web were authentic.  These notes back and forth between academics at Colorado University Climate Institute and others around the world, reveal scientists discarding, deliberately misinterpreting, and then finally altering data from lab and instrument reports.  They did so because the data did not support their preconceived conclusions.  This is not the "Scientific Method".  It follows almost a year to the day the revelation that Dr. Hanson of NASA had been caught doing the exact same thing.

Hanson was caught publishing temp data for October, 2008 that was unartfully created or copied from the September data.  That is, Hanson published the warmer temps recorded in September as October data.  When the real October data was published it was discovered that October temps in North America were record lows.  Hanson who is a political scientist put in place by the NASA oversight committee of Congress was caught trying to make a case for global warming despite the data that showed cooling.

Rene Descartes is rolling in his grave.  Decartes was the scientific philosopher who admonished the world to question everything.  "Methodic Doubt" was the name he gave to his philosophy of doubt.  Poor Descartes was murdered by poison by his hosts in Stockholm because of his adamant belief in the method.

In a fit of irony some of those who are now accused of cooking the global warming data are from...Stockholm.  This news is getting little play in the US press.  It is believed that this is partly due to the fact that very few Americans really trust the "global warming" scientists anyway.  So, many journalists are not "wasting" space with a" ho hum" 'dog bites man' story.  The other reason is that most journalists do not understand math, statistics and how they are manipulated by scientists with a socio economic agenda.  So when raw data from scientists are posted they need to have other scientists explain what the big words mean to them.

What do you read Katy Couric?

The real question is not what do you read the question is do you understand it?

These disturbing data sources were published by Russian hackers who gained entry when an alleged insider gave them key codes for access.  However, given the recent hack into the FAA computers by assailants unknown to disrupt air traffic during President Obama's trip home from Asia and hacks into Pentagon computers by China that disabled parts of our defense system,  we may also have real problems with our security that are far more dangerous then the temperature on the White House veranda on a balmy August night.  Our security has never been more insecure and it is frightening.

How Much Does Medicare Cost?

     No one really knows how much the new health care measure will cost but one clue is to look at the past. 

Both political parties agree that Medicare is a model of success for millons of senior citizens, all of whom have no choice in health care.  Our Federal Government allows no private alternative to this socialized form of health care.  But how much does it actually cost each subscriber?  We went to the Kaiser Institute to extrapolate and compile the numbers from several statistical abstacts from the government itself.  The findings are stunning...

Obama wants Fair Elections

     President Barak Obama is delaying his decision on continuing support for the Afghanistan government.  His plan is to wait until after a legitimate election so they can demonstrate that the government has broad regional support from the population.  Obama wisely notes that the government needs to have popular support in order to implement change and craft new programs.

   Can we expect the same consideration here in the United States?

     In recent years we have had ACORN and affliated organizations charged with employees criminally violating election laws.  We have been entertained by reports of votes from Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Jack in the Box, and several ACORN workers who admitted to voting multiple times using real and fictional names via absentee ballots and bogus voter registrations.

     Once again, today, we have an election that should belong to the Democratic candidate based on past voting patterns, overwhelming numbers of registered party members, and campaign spending [50+ million by the incumbent to less than 12 million by the challenger].  But despite these advantages the candidate of the little people, Billionaire former Investment Banker, Jon Corzine, is in a statistical dead heat in the opinion polls.  Yet it may come down to the same tactics used in Afghanistan for Corzine to retain his office. That is illegal voting and fraudulent counting processes.  Given the proclivity of the use of voter intimidation [the new black panther party incidents in 2008 in Philadelphia] and other such tacics used in 3rd world elections, will President Obama think twice before he tries to implement his new programs here?

      Or has democracy been replaced by power politics?  Is this the beginning of the rule of the power of the Federal Government over the ordinary citizen?
