TRUMP ADMIN BAIL

AN 5 26

A top spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services is the latest Trump official to quit the administration in response to a new policy push that is poised to expose children to higher risks of lung disease and cancer.

On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that Rich Danker, the chief spokesman for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had submitted a letter to President Donald Trump announcing his resignation. He specifically cited the administration's recent pivot to supporting new rules that would "allow major tobacco companies to begin selling flavored vapes that appeal to children." Danker is the second high-profile departure this decision has caused, coming just one day after the resignation of Food and Drug Administration head Marty Makary.

In the letter, which the Times obtained a copy of, Danker took pains to stress that he was not directly blaming the president for this new vape policy, and praised him for supposedly having "twice restored our prosperity and national security against all odds," and citing various unnamed "senior HHS officials" as being behind it. Nevertheless, he "warned" Trump about the dangers to children that this new policy would create.

"Senior H.H.S. officials in the immediate office of the secretary have in recent months sought U.S. Food and Drug Administration marketing approval of e-cigarette flavors that would appeal to children and expose them to nicotine addiction, lung damage and higher risk of cancer," Danker wrote.

The new policy from HHS, posted last week, claimed that it will aim to "remove illicit e-cigarettes from the market," while allowing those that "already crossed hurdles toward agency approval" to be sold. Makary reportedly resigned after his attempts to overrule the flavored vapes policy were overruled. Despite Danker opting not to pin any blame on Trump, the Times reported that he "was personally involved advancing it."

"Mr. Danker’s resignation comes at a particularly fraught time for the Department of Health and Human Services," the Times explained. "With Dr. Makary’s resignation on Tuesday, the department now has three major vacancies. The positions of surgeon general and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are also unfilled. As the assistant secretary for public affairs for the Department of Health and Human Services, Mr. Danker was responsible for coordinating the department’s outward communications. He was in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where Mr. Kennedy is speaking at a conference on the possible link between diet and cancer."

The resignation is also the latest sign of the deteriorating relationship between Trump and Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" movement, which has been credited with helping him get reelected in 2024. Since returning to the White House, Trump has disappointed MAHA adherents with his lack of progress on implementing anti-vaccine policies that they favor, as well as his support for loosening regulations on pesticides. Sources within the administration are reportedly unconcerned about losing MAHA support, viewing their influence as insignificant.

The Suppression of Discussion Continues to Degrade Science

By Victor Fernandez

One of the primary aims of science, as it is ideally understood in high schools and universities, is to lift us from ignorance.

It generally advances by utilizing the tools of reason and the critical evaluation of evidence to make explicit a more comprehensible understanding of the physical world. Such a process also includes sharing data for peer analysis in an effort to arrive at the truth concerning some matter of fact or make successive approximations to it.

However, our present quest for such lofty goals has run into serious obstacles that thwart science’s revelations and processes. And, although these obstructions have been ongoing for a number of years, some modern scientific publications have ironically proven themselves to be one of its greatest impediments.

On July 5, 2023, Dr. Peter McCullough among other clinical specialists published a systematic review of autopsy findings involving victims who died post-COVID vaccine onThe Lancetjournal’s preprint server.

They identified…“678 studiesand, after screening for our inclusion criteria, included 44 papers that contained 325 autopsy cases and one necropsy case…Most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration. A total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed by COVID-19 vaccination…”

Dr. McCullough explains that the systematic review went through two sets of checks on the preprint server and that it was getting surges of downloads. But the very next morning, The Lancet shut it down. The study got censored.

Why?

The Lancet’s response is that the “study’s conclusions are not supported by the study methodology.” Curiously, they don’t say how.

Dr. McCullough says:

“This act of medical censorship occurred after the paper met all the criteria for listing on the Lancet Preprint Server… This speaks to the importance of our findings as the largest summary of autopsies after COVID-19 vaccination. Elsevier and Lancet are trying to suppress critical scientific observations on COVID-19 vaccine safety. Their actions are reprehensible.”

The Lancet was not alone in its rejection of the study. The New England Journal of Medicine, and The Journal of the American Medical Association rejected the work within a few days and within an hour of submission, respectively, before finding its way to The Lancet.

This is but a small example of how the process of science is being suffocated.

We need information, data, discussion and debate on things that have been discovered as well as of things of deep relevance to our lives. And the massive COVID/vax - related injuries and deaths as revealed by VAERS certainly count among them. There is no telling where the debate will lead, but at least there remains the possibility that productive courses of action can be taken to stay the hand of illness, motivate motions to address accountability, and redirect medical and scientific practices.

Apart from some scientific journals, lack of important data and discussion continue to take their toll among members of the media and its viewers. Recently, Fox host Stuart Varney -- believing that 19 straight days above 110 degrees in Phoenix, Arizona is the result of climate change -- is surprised that climate skeptic and journalist Marc Moranodisagrees.

“This is not outside the normal bounds of hot summer weather. Yes, it’s a record year. It could be one of the hottest, but here’s the thing… Joe Biden's EPA has a chart of the heatwave index going back to the 1930s. The 1930s are probably 8 to 10 or 12 timeshotter in the United States than anything we’re currently seeing.”

Not only did Biden’s EPA show that the 1930s heat waves were worse than such waves today, many studies have shown that the Roman Warming Period (250 BC to AD 400) and the Medieval Warm Period (10th to 13th centuries) were as warm or warmer than today. The United Nations acknowledged this in 1990. But, evidently the Medieval warming period proved too much an inconvenient fact as the data was altered and, ultimately, erased.

Geologist Dr. of the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy at the University of Oklahoma in a statement to a US Senate Committee of Environment and Public Works in 2006 recounts that in 1995 he received an email from a major researcher in climate change who said, “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warming Period.” Sadly, Michael Mann, and his fraudulent hockey stick graph, erased it by his omission of this well-documented period as well as the Little Ice Age (early 14th to mid 19 century), both of which contradicted the scope of his narrow, deceitful graph. Such is the state of modern science.

It gets worse. Andrew Dessler of Texas A&M University has difficulty with anything contradicting the notion that today’s weather must be warmer than anything in the past. So, what does he want? He aims to remove the 1930s EPA heatwave records entirely (here and here).

The root of this corruption is as long as it is depressing. Suffice it to say for now, that the depraved hand of Marxist cultural constructivists, their wicked march through the institutions, a compliantmedia,the Leftist drive for centralized, absolute power, along with decades of UN plots for a top-down bureaucratic Statehave played a role. Scientists relying on funding from powerful doners also continue to present a host of conflicting problems.

Fortunately, there are many who have fought and continue to fight this treachery on a number of fronts. Besides the work of truly informed and battle-ready warriors like Mark Morano and Tom Heller, who take on the backward forces of climate alarmism, by 2009 there were 31,478 American scientists who had taken a stand against unfounded climate alarmism and signed the Global Warming Petition Project. NOTE RENAME

“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”

So much for the widely buzzed noise that97% of climate scientists agree with views surrounding Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). There is no such consensus, and honest scientists made sure to make the point.

And in the world of medicine there are also combatants like Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Simone Gold, founder and president of American Frontline Doctors, who on July 27, 2020 gathered a team of doctors and held a White Coat Summit press conference before the US Supreme Court. AFD delivered accurate scientific data, notes on the law and defended human rights during a time when Covid fearmongering was festering the nation. AFD has recently arranged for a new White Coat Summit this week on July 27th entitled, The Reckoning .

So, the fight is on. And the fight is necessary, as an informed citizenry is a requisite for this democratic republic to succeed.

We are living in a time when degenerate and destructive forces have rooted themselves in dangerous positions of power and influence. But, because the march of a dispassionate search for truth cannot and will not be contained, we will notforever remain in ignorance. May those of us who love truth and freedom remain vigilant, as the dissecting blade of reason and courage slowly, butsteadily, slay the dragons of irrationality and deceit.

an 3 23

former right-wing newspaper editor Elliot Resnick has been indicted on four charges, including felony assault on law enforcement, for his participation in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to new documents filed on Thursday.

Resnick is the former top editor of the Jewish Press, a New York-based site that boasts it has been "politically incorrect long before the phrase was coined." A vocal supporter of Trump, he has previously tweeted that white nationalism doesn't exist and that Black people should abandon Christianity for their "primitive religions" if they "resent America's [sic] so much."

According to a POLITICO report in 2021, Resnick also wrote an impassioned, conspiracy theory-laden defense of the January 6 insurrectionists in the far-right publication American Thinker, claiming that if Democrats want to prevent a similar attack in future, “Don’t steal elections in plain sight, and maybe ordinarily law-abiding citizens won’t snap.” Nowhere in the article did he mention that he was in the crowd with them.

When reporters and extremism watchdogs uncovered evidence Resnick was at the Capitol two years ago, the Jewish Press defended him, claiming he was simply there as a journalist. But the new report by federal prosecutors shows he did a lot more than just stand around reporting on the riot.

Images in the charging document show Resnick in the crowd, wearing a black yarmulke, trying to force his way through the East Rotunda Doors. In some of the images, he can be seen grabbing the wrist of a police officer attempting to control the crowd with chemical spray.

"Almost immediately after entering the U.S. Capitol, RESNICK turned back to the East Rotunda Doors and pushed on the second door, attempting to open it. At least one USCP Officer can be seen attempting to keep the door closed from the outside," said the charging document. "As RESNICK and others pushed on the closed door, a different USCP Officer, Officer B., approached RESNICK and attempted to stop him from pushing on the door. While doing so, Officer B. was thrown to the ground from behind by another rioter who has since been arrested and charged."

"After RESNICK failed to push open the southern door of the East Rotunda Doors, which was closed, he reached through the open northern door and, using his arms, began grabbing and pulling other rioters into the U.S. Capitol," the document continues. It alleges that after he made it inside, he wandered around the complex for 23 minutes before leaving.

To date, more than 1,000 people have been charged in the January 6 attack — the largest such prosecution effort in the history of the United States.

Biden administration tells Americans to suck it up on that $5 gas

By Monica Showalter

It's astonishing how out of touch the Joe Biden administration is with voters. We're talking about tin ears, brains, and bodies.

A reporter asked a White House official about those soaring energy prices at the pump — the number-one issue occupying likely voters' attention, according to a recent Rasmussen poll — and got this:

How inspiring. Seems that releasing the Strategic Petroleum Reserves did nothing to bring down high energy prices, and blaming Putin didn't resonate with the public. So now it's the New World Order as the hill we die on. Can you say "pathetic"?

It seemed to be part of a sync'd talking points memo that Joe and his pathetic minions all read from:

Thanks for volunteering us, Joe...

Some let us know what the Big Idea is with these no-end-in-sight soaring prices at the pump:

And the bottom line here is that it's not happening — there's no end in sight for soaring fuel prices, and there's certainly no greenie economy arising as a result of it — for this reason right here:

[Doctor: Painful Neuropathy Gone, Just Do This (Watch)

A Simple Method to Reduce Neuropathy (Watch)

Fossil fuel energy production is not only the driver of greenie energy; it itself is not exempt from inflationary pressures, given that producing fuel requires dollars, and the dollar is where the inflation is coming from. Inflation is "always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon," to quote Milton Friedman, who's the master of the matter. Biden would have you think that inflation derives from oil prices, and Vlad Putin somehow controls those prices based on our refusal to buy his oil (the Chicoms get it now), and Putin has driven oil prices higher just to be mean to us.

It's garbage. Fact is, higher energy prices can be alleviated to some extent by permitting the production of more oil and natural gas as well as buying from Canada [tar sand? no rstrictions?] , instead of relying on expensive imports from overseas petro-tyrants, or by releasing the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which is the Biden plan for the higher energy prices he's brought us. His call to Americans to endure higher energy prices Because Putin is nothing short of outrageous. What's more, even if he does manage to unhorse Putin, prices at the pump would not go lower. Biden, after all, wants the higher oil prices — to convert the economy to greenie energy. He can't let go of this bad idea. He can reverse himself on a lot of policies but this one seems set in stone, and made worse by his failure to understand basic economics.

Issues & Insights has an excellent piece on the extent to which Biden has constrained U.S. energy production, leading to his administration's callous response to the number-one issue concerning voters:

And, no, it’s no exaggeration to call this a crisis. With consumer prices rising at a four-decade-high of 8.6% in the most recent year-over-year comparison, Americans are watching their standard of living fall fast.

A just-released national survey has found that 83% of U.S. households are cutting their personal spending and travel due to soaring inflation. These cutbacks are being driven almost entirely by energy costs, which have spiked nearly 35% in the past year.

The economic disaster Biden has created is ultimately a result of surging federal spending during the pandemic, foolish Fed policies that poured monetary gasoline onto a raging inflation fire, and the ongoing effort by Biden and the Democrats to punish the very companies that provide our energy, threatening them with smothering regulations, painful taxes and even public shaming.

Things have reached a fever pitch of late, with Democrats’ extremist anti-free-market green wing suggesting, as gasoline prices roar past $5 a gallon and cities across the nation face blackouts, we would all be better off if we just nationalized our oil and gas industry.

For the record, no we wouldn’t.

Bingo, bingo, bingo, and bingo. The editorial completely grasps the nature of the Biden disaster on energy and why none of his proposed solutions — or coordinated spin — is working.

What we have here is an administration so wedded to itsgreenie agendathat it no longer recognizes even its own quest for political self-preservation. Biden's minions cite grand plans for a New World Order and a greenie energy regimen as most important, while poor old stupid Joe can only chirp "Putin."

Voters are going to punish these clowns hard for this extended energy price surge, because it's a textbook failure worse than anything even Jimmy Carter could come up with.

Now they are promising more. They just can't stop themselves.

https://www.desmog.com/:{2022/01:(style="background-color:#ffff66;"):}:/28/jordan-petersons-climate-expert-is-science-denier-funded-by-oil-backed-think-tank/

the source for author Jordan Peterson’s recent claim that climate change cannot be modelled was a climate science denier who received money from a libertarian think tank funded by oil companies.

The Canadian psychologist was widely criticised for spreading climate misinformation this week after telling the popular Joe Rogan podcast’s 11 million subscribers that climate models were full of errors that increase over time, and that climate is too complicated to model accurately.

Peterson responded to the criticism on Thursday in tweets to his 2.2 million followers citing a book called “Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming’s Unfinished Debate” by S Fred Singer.

Singer, an American atmospheric physicist who died in 2020, argued that climate change was natural and not increased by human-caused carbon dioxide emissions. He argued that warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions was “trivial”.

In 1990 he founded the Science and Environment Policy Project (SEPP) that expounded these views. In 2014 DeSmog revealed that Singer received $5,000 a month from US right-wing think tank the Heartland Institute, which has taken donations from oil interests including ExxonMobil and the Koch family. Singer was a speaker at a 2012 Heartland conference where sponsors received $67 million from Exxon, Koch and the Scaife Family Foundations.

Singer frequently criticised climate modelling by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the peer-reviewed authority on climate science made up of hundreds of climate scientists.

In a 2016 article for American Thinker, Singer wrote: “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has to provide proof for significant human-caused climate change; yet their climate models have never been validated and are rapidly diverging from actual observations.

“The real threat to humanity comes not from any (trivial) greenhouse warming but from cooling periods creating food shortages and famines."

twt]

"The Scientists Were Right’

Dr Simon Evans, policy editor at Carbon Brief, told DeSmog: “Back in the early 1970s, scientists were building simple climate models and they hypothesised that rising greenhouse gas emissions would warm the planet.

“Well, the results are in, and those scientists were right. Not only that, those models – and other more recent ones – have been pretty accurate in estimating how much warming we would get.”

Peterson is known for his self-help books and opposition to “identity politics”, but has increasingly been spreading climate science misinformation.In his Joe Rogan interview, Peterson advocated hydraulic fracturing to extract shale gas – known as fracking – and dismissed the idea that greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced to net zero by 2050.

In an appearance on BBC Question Time in November, Peterson criticised the COP26 UN climate summit and said developing countries should not be encouraged to control their CO2 emissions.

Last week Peterson shared a tweet from Net Zero Watch, a rebranding of the climate science-denying Global Warming Policy Forum, which questioned whether wind power is a “reliable, efficient and in-demand technology”. Peterson’s tweet added, regarding net zero targets: “Any “policy maker” who aims at zero anything has instantly demonstrated his or her incompetence.”

Jennie King, head of civic action and education at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue think tank, said: “This latest episode reveals a growing trend, whereby ‘non-climate influencers’ are becoming central nodes of mis- and disinformation for a mainstream public and exposing them to views which either deny the reality and impacts of climate change, or explicitly undermine trust in the science and institutions working to marshal a response.

“There are absolutely things to be debated and agreed around climate action, governance, timelines and finance, but the fundamental bases that Peterson calls into question are entirely ill-informed and do not move the conversation forward,” she added.

Notorious Vote-Suppressor Kenneth Blackwell Denounces Pennsylvania Governor and His ‘Legion of Darkness’

Right-wing activist Ken Blackwell, a former Ohio Secretary of State criticized for voter suppression practices and an adviser to the Trump-Pence campaign, pulled out all the rhetorical stops in an attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf published by theAmerican ThinkerMonday under the headline, “Governor Wolf and his legion of darkness must be stopped in Pennsylvania.”

Here’s how Blackwell’s diatribe began:

What is happening in Pennsylvania is a dark moment for America. Under the leadership of Governor Wolf and hisliberal regime,the Pennsylvania elections system has been completely compromised. It has become clear the leadership in this state is anti-democratic, does not value our Constitution, and is engaged in an outright attack on the legal votes that have been cast by the good, hardworking people of the Commonwealth.

In reality, there is no evidence to support Blackwell’s—or the Trump campaign’s—charges of massive voter fraud in Pennsylvania. Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania told the TODAY show last Friday that it was “hard to watch” President Donald Trump’s lie-filled remarks last Thursday, saying, “The president’s charges of large-scale fraud—there’s no evidence here.” Trump has publicly charged that Republican poll watchers were prevented from observing counting in Pennsylvania, but Republican lawyers admittedin federal court that charge was not true.

On Monday, the Trump campaign sued to stop the certification of the election results in Pennsylvania; the Associated Press noted, “The 85-page lawsuit itself contained no evidence of voter fraud, other than a smattering of allegations.”

“Pennsylvania is going to fight every single attempt to disenfranchise voters,” Wolf’s office said Monday. “We will protect this election and the democratic process. Pennsylvania will count every vote, and we will protect the count of every vote.”

But Blackwell, a member of Trump’s 2016 transition team and a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, claimed that Pennsylvania Democrats desired to “conduct this election in the dark,” citing a Bible verse that says “people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”

“It could not be clearer that the Democrat-run Pennsylvania executive government only wants votes counted that support theiragenda and their candidates,” Blackwell charged. He alleged, without substantiation, that the Wolf administration intends “to slant the vote for their candidates” in what he called “the most egregious abuse of power I have ever witnessed in my decades of working on elections.”

Blackwell cited his own experience as Ohio’s top election official to lend credibility to his claims that “actions taken this cycle by the Pennsylvania executive government are abnormal, unethical, and downright corrupt.”

“Thankfully, President Trump and Republicans across America are fighting back, and will not allow this election to be stolen by the partisan hacks who have shown themselves to be enemies of a free and fair election process,” Blackwell wrote. “The people of Pennsylvania deserve to have every legal vote counted. In my days as Secretary of State in Ohio, this would never have been a question.”

But advocates for ballot access would hardly describe Blackwell’s tenure as Ohio’s Secretary of State as characterizing a nonpartisan approach to fairness. Far from it.

“Blackwell showed no inclination for fair voting practices while he was Ohio Secretary of State, and there is no indication he has had a change of heart,” noted the Ohio ACLU’s Katrice Williams in 2017, when Blackwell was appointed to Trump’s farcical and short-lived “election integrity” commission. The commission folded having “uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud,” the AP reported. At the time, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law characterized Blackwell as one of the “four horsemen of voter suppression” named to the “sham” commission.

One of Blackwell’s most notorious moves was his instruction to elected officials not to accept voter registrations unless they were printed on very heavy paper. Williams documented other notable efforts at voter suppression during Blackwell’s tenure.

Blackwell’s machinations were widely publicized at the time.

“Every significant decision that Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell made regarding the 2004 presidential election benefited George W. Bush,” wrote City Beat reporter Pete Shuler after the 2004 elections. He noted that Blackwell was honorary co-chair of Bush’s 2004 Ohio campaign and served as an election expert spinning the Bush campaign’s line to the media during the ballot recounts in Florida that ensued after the 2000 campaign.

Blackwell ran for governor in 2006 but was soundly defeated by Democrat Ted Strickland. In 2011, when he was pondering a run for the U.S. Senate, Mother Jones noted that in 2004 Blackwell “was accused of throwing the presidential vote in that crucial swing state in favor of George W. Bush and overseeing ‘massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies’ that disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters.”

The American Thinker, where Blackwell’s article was published this week, has been known to publish commentary from white nationalists

Is Maduro another Noriega?

By Silvio Canto, Jr.

According to many, drug-trafficking is Maduro's extra source of cash and keeping him floating. This is the report from Fox:

While there an array of factors to blame, analysts are pointing to illicit trafficking rings as a fundamental Maduro lifeline.

"The Venezuelan military forces has become a narco-criminal, armed organization. Most of the top and mid-commanders are deeply involved in corruption, drug operations, and serious human rights abuses," Johan Obdola, president of Latin America-focused global intelligence and security firm IOSI, told Fox News, noting that cartel-led, massive drug operations continue to spawn the country keeping the top echelon well-fed and financed.

"Small pro-regime policing agencies and military units across the nation conduct these criminal operations centered on drug trafficking, kidnapping, and robbery to survive the crisis."

Kevin Ivers, Vice President and Latin America expert at public policy firm DCI Group, pointed out that years ago, the elite of the Venezuelan military was put in charge of the core elements of the domestic economy, such as the importation and distribution of food and consumer goods.

Makes sense to me. I've been hearing that for years, even back to the Chávez days. In fact, I've heard that this connection involves Cuba as well.

This is why I believe that a "Noriega solution" may be in Maduro's future — in other words, the arrest of Maduro and conviction in a Florida court.

Maduro may be more likely to cut and run if he fears a military intervention that places him in a Florida jail.

Protecting the Privacy of Nonprofit Donors from Abuse

By Mark J. Fitzgibbons American Thinker

June 13, 2016

Donors to nonprofit organizations of all stripes are at risk of harassment, unless a bill to be introduced this week by Rep. Peter Roskam is by passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law. If you have the means and are generous enough to contribute $5,000 or more to a homeless shelter or food bank, a charity to help abused spouses and children, an animal rescue, an organization protecting life, a group advocating for constitutional rights, or any other charity or social welfare nonprofit organization, your contribution, name, and address currently must be reported by the recipient organization to the IRS — even if the donation is not tax-deductible.

By law, this contribution information is supposed to be treated and guarded by the IRS as confidential. Unauthorized access to and use of that information by government officials is prohibited under post-Watergate reforms to the tax code. Its unintentional disclosure is subject to civil remedies, albeit ones without enough teeth in an age of careless bureaucrats. Criminal penalties are supposed to apply to officials who willfully disclose or review your private information unless expressly authorized under a rigid privacy regime in the tax code.

Information about Americans’ private generosity, however, is not safe with the IRS. And, there are those people who attribute sinister motives to generosity, calling beneficence for even deeply held convictions of conscience “dark money.”

Worse, even, two highly partisan state attorneys general with proven track records of using government power to try to silence the speech of those who don’t share their leftwing views — Kamala Harris of California and Eric Schneiderman of New York — are using dragnet licensing methods to evade the tax code by obtaining directly from charities what was reported to the IRS under laws and expectations of confidentially. Harris and Schneiderman are in the news this year for targeting climate speech for investigation and possible prosecution.They not only disrespect First Amendment rights of those with opposing views, they are lawless and arrogant enough to believe the federal tax confidentiality laws don’t apply to them.

This week the U.S. House of Representatives will consider a bill introduced byCongressman Peter Roskam that would end the collection of most private contribution information by the IRS. HR 5053 does more than end the IRS’s collection of this private information currently reported on Schedule B to Form 990, the tax return filed by charities and social welfare organizations; it corrects a mistake by a prior Congress that created a federal exception to the right of private association expressed in the landmark civil rights case from 1958, NAACP v. Alabama.

In the 1950s, Ku Klux Klan-backed Democrat Alabama Attorney General John Patterson sought to obtain the list of financial supporters of the NAACP in his state. His objective was to shut down the civil rights movement there through intimidation that would dry up the organization’s funds. In holding against Patterson, the court said:

“It is hardly a novel perception that compelled disclosure of affiliation with groups engaged in advocacy may constitute as effective a restraint on freedom of association as the forms of governmental action in the cases above were thought likely to produce upon the particular constitutional rights there involved. This Court has recognized the vital relationship between freedom to associate and privacy in one’s associations.”

Unlike liberals such as Harris and Schneiderman, who wish to use government power to impose their personal intolerance of dissent, others such as my friend and liberal activist legend Roger Craver know history and how the power pendulum swings both ways. Roger is in the American Association of Political Consultants Hall of Fame, and was described by The Wall Street Journal as “an assassin of all things right-wing.”

Writing at his blog The Agitator, Roger says, “[w]hen it comes to protecting the privacy of members and donors, all nonprofits should be fighting mad regardless of ideology. Michael Moore and the Koch brothers. We’re all in this together.”

A who’s who of over 100 top conservative leaders and lawyers recently sent members of Congress a letter about the need to conduct hearings into whether the IRS was derelict by not protecting confidential donor information from the unseemly clutches of Harris and Schneiderman, and to inquire whether these two AGs violated the criminal laws about donor privacy in the tax code. Meanwhile, the IRS has been asked in private correspondence to explain why it did not enforce the unauthorized access laws and protocols, called “UNAX,” against Harris and Schneiderman.

The Roskam bill is an important step in protecting the right of private association. A group of state charity regulators whose ranks include members of the offices of Harris and Schneiderman, however, are protesting the Roskam bill. One of the more vocal charity regulators once claimed now-disgraced former IRS official Lois Lerner as their “partner in the regulation of charities.” Their poor judgment goes beyond keeping bad company. Four times since 1980 these state bureaucrats have been scuttled at the U.S. Supreme Court for their attempts to violate the First Amendment under their loose theories of “consumer protection” and fraud.

Like recalcitrant and habitual offenders often do, Harris and Schneiderman have continued looking for ways to violate laws and constitutional guarantees so they may intimidate and silence speakers. For now we can only wonder whether the IRS’s failure to stop them was a matter of turning its head the other way for Lois Lerner’s “partners.”

The Roskam bill restores certain important protections articulated in NAACP v. Alabama. The key is that government officials not insert themselves into our right to associate privately with causes. Too many of these officials simply cannot be trusted with routinely possessing such private information.

Thirteen state GOP attorneys general have sent a letter to the Democratic AG's who are investigating ExxonMobile for fraud in climate change research, telling them that if minimizing the danger of climate change is fraud, so is exaggerating the peril. They threaten to prosecute climate alarmists for making spectacular claims of disaster that have not materialized.

Washington Times:

If Democratic attorneys general can pursue climate change skeptics for fraud, then also at risk of prosecution are climate alarmists whose predictions of global doom have failed to materialize.

The “cuts both ways” argument was among those raised by 13 Republican attorneys general in a letter urging their Democratic counterparts to stop using their law enforcement power against fossil fuel companies and others that challenge the climate change catastrophe narrative.

"Consider carefully the legal precedent and threat to free speech, said the state prosecutors in their letter this week, headed by Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.

“If it is possible to minimize the risks of climate change, then the same goes for exaggeration,” said the letter. “If minimization is fraud, exaggeration is fraud.”

The letter comes as Exxon Mobil fights off subpoenas by two prosecutors — Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude E. Walker — for decades’ worth of climate-related documents and communications with academics, universities and free-market think tanks.

New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and California Attorney General Kamala Harris have also reportedly launched probes.

The 17 attorneys general — 16 Democrats and one independent — announced at a March 29 press conference that they had formed a coalition, AGs United for Clean Power.

“We think this effort by our colleagues to police the global warming debate through the power of the subpoena is a grave mistake,” said the letter.

The name of the coalition itself shows that the attorneys general “have taken the unusual step of aligning themselves with the competition of their investigative targets,” namely the solar and wind energy.

“If the focus is fraud, such alignment by law enforcement sends the dangerous signal that companies in certain segments of the energy market need not worry about their misrepresentations,” said the GOP letter.

Democrats have denied that the effort violates Exxon’s free-speech rights. Schneiderman spokesman Eric Soufer said in a statement that, “The law is clear: the First Amendment does not give any corporation the right to commit fraud.”

Think of how many global warming predictions over the last decade or so have been based on junk science or no science at all. The melting of the arctic ice cap by 2014 is my favorite. But the most important prediction that failed to come true is the failure of every single model that predicted a rise in temperature. Even the Intergovermmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agrees that there has been a pause in warming. The predictions about the rise in ocean levels has also been laughably wrong.

If the AG's go through with their threat, their number one target should be Al Gore. He has not only been spectacularly wrong in many of his predictions, but he has also become fabulously wealthy by gaming the carbon trading system and capitalizing on his notoriety as the number one scaremonger in the world. I fantasize about putting him in an orange jumpsuit and making him do the perp walk in front of the cameras.

The GOP AG's point is sound. A scientific disagreement should not be criminalized. Nor should free speech be chilled by prosecuting people you disagree with. Their plea will fall on deaf ears, however, because of the billions of dollars that the Democrats are looking to extort from Exxon.

Compared to that, free speech just doesn't matter.

Academic arrogance

The new Chancellor of the University of California, Santa Cruz likes to live on a grand scale. And for some reason, the Regents of the Ubiversity of California have been inclined to indulge Denice Denton’s taste for the finer things in life, at the taxpayers’ expense, not their own, of course. In an era of rising tuition and taxes, they are spending money in ways that only can be described as grotestque. Perhaps it is the Chancellor’s prominent commitment to “diversity” (mentioned before any other professional accomplishments on her official biography) that makes her worth so much.

Here is the deal that Chancellor Denice Denton got:

A personal salary of $272,000 per year;

A position for her lesbian “partner” Gretchen Kalonji at $192,000 per year;

“Moving expenses” for relocating from Seattle at $68,000.

A “housing allowance” for lesbian partner Kalonji of $50,000, who will be working about 60 miles away from her in Oakland

Free housing in a large mansion on the UC Santa Cruz campus: 4,124 square feet for public functions and 2680 square feet in the private section.

Unknown but substantial expense allowances for travel and entertainment.

All this was previously known. What is new today is the revelation that Denton also handed the University a “wish list” of renovations necessary to make the mansion livable for a woman of her tastes. Evidently she has taken time away from reading engineering journals in favor of Architectural Digest. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

In her kitchen, she wanted a new Sub-Zero refrigerator and new dishwasher, microwave and gas stove. In the living room, among other things, she wanted a new couch and chairs. She also wanted new carpet and fresh paint throughout her residence.

As if that weren’t enough, a $30,000 backyard dog run for her pet was also part of the project. The total amount spent is in the $600,000 range. Her wish is evidently the Regents’ command.

Nice work if you can get it. And if the taxpayers will put up with it. Diversity doesn’t come cheap.

GLASS HOUSE SHATTERS FOR EX-UW ENGINEERING DEAN

When then-Harvard President Lawrence Summers told a conference one possible reason for so few women choosing careers in math and science might be innate differences between the sexes, he caught a lot of flack, perhaps quite deservedly, perhaps not, as this Seattle Times story shows. One leading critic of Summers' comments was then-University of Washington Engineering School Dean Denise Denton, who said (in the above-linked Times article):

"The notion that half the population may not be up to the task, even remotely getting that idea out there, especially from the leader of a major university in the United States, that's of concern."

Summers eventually resigned as outrage grew over his remarks. Denton's next year and a half would be a test of her own fortitude in the higher reaches of academia, during her scandal-tainted tenure as Chancellor of The University of California/Santa Cruz. Like some others - male and female - who have become enmeshed in high-profile controversies, she apparently became overwhelmed to the point of choosing death. The issue for her was high-profile perks and favoritism from the University of California. If anything symbolized her troubles it may have been the $30,000 dog run added to her university residence (more details in links below). My sympathies to Denton's family and partner in the wake of her tragic suicide reported in today's San Francisco Chronicle.

Her death comes against the backdrop of a highly-publicized investigation into lavish perks granted to top UC administrators. Background on the scandal here and here from the Chron. More on Denton's troubles at UC Santa Cruz in a March 30 post at The American Thinker; from Captain Ed; and here from the Chron. A Santa Cruz Sentinel story here describes Denton being stopped by protesting students during a labor dispute earlier this month and forced to watch an anti-racism skit. Today's SF Chron story is here. It notes:

Denton had been provided a 2,680-square-foot home on the UC Santa Cruz campus, the subject of a story in a Chronicle series this spring examining perks and pay in the UC system. Before she moved into her university-provided house on campus in 2005, she asked for dozens of improvements -- everything from a new fence for her dogs to new wiring, speakers, amplifier and CD player for a built-in sound system, according to university documents. In all, a $600,000 upgrade was made to the home, though it is not clear how many of the improvements were at Denton's request. Denton's annual salary was $282,000.

...In 2005, UC unions protested the hiring of (Denton's partner Gretchen) Kalonji, a former University of Washington professor of materials science, into a $192,000 UC management position. UC also provided Kalonji, then Denton's partner of seven years, a housing assistance allowance of up to $50,000.

...News of Denton's death reached her former colleagues at the University of Washington on Saturday evening. "I never expected this," said Mani Soma, acting dean of the school's college of engineering, which Denton previously ran. "She was an outstanding performer here, and we were extremely glad to have her." Soma said Denton was known as a hard worker who had very high standards. Some former colleagues were in tears when they learned of her death through news reports, he said.

May Denton's soul rest in peace. It will be tempting for some to say Denton was driven to despair by the baying wolves of the press and blogosphere, but that victim stuff don't hunt. Somewhere along the way, she appears to have lost her ethical compass, with the help of top officials in the UC system.

UPDATE: More in this article today from the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

American Thinker (affectionately nicknamed "American Stinker" by its fans) is an online wingnut publication that's more or less the poor man's WorldNutDaily or Newsmax. None of its regular columnists are even recognizable names as z-list pundits. The magazine, of course, is chock-full of right-wing conspiracy theories, woo, pseudoscience, and anti-science. On the conspiracy side, they promote birtherism, "creeping sharia," and still occasionally prattle on about Vince Foster. On the science side, they concentrate on creationism and global warming denialism. They've published articles by such conservative luminaries as Noel Sheppard and Pamela Geller and such climate experts as S. Fred Singer and Christopher Monckton.

American Thinker (AT) is a conservative daily internet publication. According to it website, American Thinker presents a "thoughtful exploration of issues of importance to Americans." ^[1]

There is ample evidence to support the notion that AT serves as part of the right wing's echo chamber.

A good example of this can be found in a December 5th, 2007 piece on the National Intelligence Estimate report on the state of Iran's Nuclear weapon's program.[1]

Writer Ed Lasky first refers to an Editorial in the New York Sun inferring that the intelligence community is against President Bush.[2] Lasky concludes that "the National Intelligence Estimate was cooked up by bureaucrats eager to embarrass George Bush and transform US policy towards Iran." To substantiate his argument he goes on to quote an editorial from the Wall Street Journal[3] which avers the authors of the NIE study are: "former State Department officials with previous reputations that should lead one to doubt their conclusions. All three are ex-bureaucrats who, as is generally true of State Department types, favor endless rounds of negotiation and "diplomacy" and oppose confrontation. These three officials, according to the Wall Street Journal, have 'reputations as hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials'." This statement "Hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials", restated as fact in the AT article, is quoted and requoted by rightwing blogs and news sources throughout the media.[4][5][6]

Ultimately this type of statement winds up being echoed by mainstream pundits such as Rush Limbaugh.[7]

Staff biographies

Thomas Lifson, editor and publisher, calls himself a recovering academic. After graduating from Kenyon College, he studied modern Japan, sociology, and business as a graduate student at Harvard (three degrees) and joined the faculty at Harvard Business School, where he began the consulting career that was to lead him away from academia. He also taught sociology and East Asian studies at Harvard and held visiting professorships at Columbia University and the Japanese National Museum of Ethnology. As a consultant, he has worked with major companies from the United States, Japan, Europe, Asia, and Australasia at the nexus of human, organizational, and strategic issues.

A Democrat by birth, Thomas became more conservative in adulthood as reality taught him that dreams of perfecting human society always run smack into human nature.

In 2003 he founded American Thinker.

Larrey Anderson, submissions editor, is a writer and philosopher. He studied comparative religion, philosophy, and law at Harvard, Penn State, and Catholic University of America. He served three terms as an Idaho state senator including a stint as chairman of the Health and Welfare Committee. He retired from the Senate for health reasons. He has written four books.

Larrey lives on the Snake River in Idaho with his wife (sometime AT contributor Eileen McDevitt). Larrey and Eileen have two children and four grandchildren.

Ed Lasky, news editor, is a former lawyer, and now a stock trader. He has degrees from Northwestern University (B.A., economics), University of Michigan Law School (J.D.), and J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management (Northwestern University) (Master of Management).

A read-aholic husband of one and a father of three wonderful kids (twin girls and a son), Ed is focused on politics, media monitoring, and foreign affairs. He started being concerned about the future when he had children. September 11, 2001 was a motivating factor as well. He feels fortunate to live in America.

Ed has appeared on the Milt Rosenberg show in Chicago and a variety of other radio shows (including National Public Radio); has been mentioned in Newsweek and interviewed by the NY Times. Recently he appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News.

Rick Moran, blog editor, is a professional writer/editor living in Streator, IL and a frequent contributor to American Thinker. He also serves as the Chicago editor of Pajamas Media and is the proprietor of the website Right Wing Nuthouse.

Richard Baehr, chief political correspondent, is a management consultant in the health care field and is the president of Richard A. Baehr & Associates. He frequently serves as an expert witness in health care litigation cases involving planning and financial matters. Richard has a longstanding interest in the Middle East and American politics, and he is a frequent speaker and writer on these subjects. He has spoken at many Jewish organization meetings, synagogues, and colleges on various topics: Israeli-Palestinian relations, the war in Lebanon, American politics and Israel, the future of Israel and the Middle East, and American political trends.

Richard was recently named a Visiting Fellow of the Jewish Policy Center, and he was a panelist for a Jewish Policy Center Forum along with Michael Medved, John Podhoretz, and David Horowitz. He has been a guest on many talk radio programs, including those of Michael Medved, Dennis Miller, and Milt Rosenberg. Richard also writes a commentary on the Middle East and American politics which is distributed by e-mail. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kenyon College. He is married with two adult children.

J.R. Dunn, consulting editor, has been involved in several fields of business including real estate, infotech, and PR. He managed a real estate corporation in Northern New Jersey for a decade beginning in the late '70s (think Glengarry Glen Ross). During the dot-com epoch, he worked at a pioneering Wall Street business database firm until 9/11 wiped out many of the company's clients. In recent years, he has worked for Novita, a New Jersey political PR agency.

As a writer, J.R. has published three critically acclaimed novels: This Side of Judgment (1994), Days of Cain (1997), and Full Tide of Night (1998). He has also published a number of shorts and articles in various magazines and anthologies.

Additionally, J.R. worked on the academic encyclopedia The International Military Encyclopedia (1992- ) as associate editor for twelve years.

His first book on politics deals with the inexplicably overlooked fact that liberal policies (criminal justice "reform," the CAFE standards, the DDT ban, etc.) tend to kill Americans by the tens of thousands. Provisionally titled Death by Liberalism, the book will be appearing later this year.

He is not the British thrash guitarist,

the Texas C&W singer,

the British sword & sorcery novelist,

or the Florida jeweler.

Nor is he the author of the superb "Comparison of NBR with other oil resistant rubbers for automotive applications," widely viewed as standard work in its field.

The UN is trying to scare us into believing we have only 15 years left. It looks ridiculous doing so, considering all the similar declarations that have come and gone.

A brief history of “climate tipping point” declarations discloses that the only scary hot air comes from warmist blowhards. Marc Morano at Climate Depot debunks the fake hysteria being generated to jjstify a massive tax and power grab:

According to the Boston Globe, the United Nations has issued a new climate “tipping point” by which the world must act to avoid dangerous global warming.

The Boston Globe noted on April 16, 2014: “The world now has a rough deadline for action on climate change. Nations need to take aggressive action in the next 15 years to cut carbon emissions, in order to forestall the worst effects of global warming, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”

Once again, the world is being warned of an ecological or climate “tipping point” by the UN.

In 1982, the UN issued a two decade tipping point. UN official Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP), warned on May 11, 1982, the “world faces an ecological disaster as final as nuclear war within a couple of decades unless governments act now.” According to Tolba in 1982, lack of action would bring “by the turn of the century, an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust.”...

"Climategate" Redux: Conservative Media Distort Hacked Emails ... Again

November 30, 2011 11:14 am ET — 133 Comments

Anonymous hackers recently released another batch of emails taken from a climate research group at the University of East Anglia in 2009, along with a document containing numbered excerpts of purportedly incriminating material. Many of these selections have been cropped in a way that completely distorts their meaning, but they were nonetheless repeated by conservative media outlets who believe climate change is a "hoax" and a "conspiracy."

Conservative Media Highlight Misleadingly Cropped And Out-Of-Context Emails

<4755>

Selectively Edited Email Implies Scientists "Left Out" Information To Fit A "Message." A December 2004 email from the University of Arizona's Jonathan Overpeck to Argentinian scientist Ricardo Villalba was cropped to say:

<4755> Overpeck:

The trick may be to decide on the main message and use that to guid[e] what's included and what is left out. Email excerpt, accessed [11/28/11]

Email Was Actually About Meeting Page Limits.The full email reveals that Overpeck is advising Villalba to edit a lengthy outline down to "0.5 pages of HIGHLY focused and relevant stuff." They are discussing a "Section on Modes of Variability" for the Palaeoclimate chapter of the draft 2007 IPCC report. From Overpeck's email:

I think the hardest, yet most important part, is to boil the section down to 0.5 pages. In looking over your good outline, sent back on Oct. 17 (my delay is due to fatherdom just after this time), you cover ALOT. The trick may be to decide on the main message and use that to guid what's included and what is left out. For the IPCC, we need to know what is relevant and useful for assessing recent and future climate change. Moreover, we have to have solid data - not inconclusive information.

[...]

So, the trick is for you to lead us (Dick, Keith, me - maybe Julie - ENSO expert) to produce 0.5 pages of HIGHLY focused and relevant stuff. Can you take another crack at your outline and then tell us what you need? Email 4755, [12/16/04]

This email was quoted out of context by the following media outlets:

The Weekly Standard, 12/12/11 (UPDATED 12/5)

<1939> and <3066>

Cropped Email Falsely Suggests Scientist Said Science Was "Manipulated" In IPCC Report.Emails by then-Met Office scientist Peter Thorne to Phil Jones of the University of East Anglia in February 2005 were cropped to say:

<1939> Thorne/MetO:

Observations do not show rising temperatures throughout the tropical troposphere unless you accept one single study and approach and discount a wealth of others. This is just downright dangerous. We need to communicate the uncertainty and be honest. Phil, hopefully we can find time to discuss these further if necessary [...]

<3066> Thorne:

I also think the science is being manipulated to put a political spin on it which for all our sakes might not be too clever in the long run. Email excerpts, accessed [11/28/11]

Concerns Were Expressed About First Draft, Addressed In Final Version.This exchange was about the first draft, called the "zero order draft," of a section on upper-air temperatures in the 2007 IPCC report. Thorne said "we need to communicate the uncertainty" and later added:

At this stage I'm pretty sure we can reconcile these things relatively simply. However, I certainly would be unhappy to be associated with it if the current text remains through final draft - I'm absolutely positive it won't. Emails 1939 and 3066, [4/2/05]

The final draft of the chapter noted that there is "substantial" "uncertainties" in this area, indicating that Thorne's critique was incorporated into the chapter by the time it was released two years later:

Within the community that constructs and actively analyses satellite- and radiosonde-based temperature records there is agreement that the uncertainties about long-term change are substantial. Changes in instrumentation and protocols pervade both sonde and satellite records, obfuscating the modest long-term trends. Historically there is no reference network to anchor the record and establish the uncertainties arising from these changes - many of which are both barely documented and poorly understood. Therefore, investigators have to make seemingly reasonable choices of how to handle these sometimes known but often unknown influences. It is difficult to make quantitatively defensible judgments as to which, if any, of the multiple, independently derived estimates is closer to the true climate evolution. This reflects almost entirely upon the inadequacies of the historical observing network and points to the need for future network design that provides the reference sonde-based ground truth. IPCC AR4, WG1, Chapter 3, [2007]

The Thorne emails were quoted out of context by the following media outlets:

Conservative Media Repeat Tabloid's Climate Misinformation

February 01, 2012 6:05 pm ET — 10 Comments

After the British tabloid Daily Mail published a flawed article that distorted climate research to claim we could be "heading for a mini ice age," conservative media followed suit. In fact, the study did not project a decline in global temperatures.

Scientists: Solar Fluctuations Won't Offset Global Warming

Met Office: Reduction In Solar Output "Insufficient To Offset" Global Warming.Announcing the new research, the Met Office stated that a reduction in solar output "will not substantially delay expected increases in global temperatures caused by greenhouse gases":

New research has found that solar output is likely to reduce over the next 90 years but that will not substantially delay expected increases in global temperatures caused by greenhouse gases.

Carried out by the Met Office and the University of Reading, the study establishes the most likely changes in the Sun's activity and looks at how this could affect near-surface temperatures on Earth.

It found that the most likely outcome was that the Sun's output would decrease up to 2100, but this would only cause a reduction in global temperatures of 0.08 °C. This compares to an expected warming of about 2.5 °C over the same period due to greenhouse gases (according to the IPCC's B2 scenario for greenhouse gas emissions that does not involve efforts to mitigate emissions).

[...]

The study also showed that if solar output reduced below that seen in the Maunder Minimum - a period between 1645 and 1715 when solar activity was at its lowest observed level - the global temperature reduction would be 0.13C.

Peter Stott, who also worked on the research for the Met Office, said: "Our findings suggest that a reduction of solar activity to levels not seen in hundreds of years would be insufficient to offset the dominant influence of greenhouse gases on global temperatures in the 21^st Century." Met Office, [1/23/12]

Scientist: Drop In Solar Activity "Would Be Only A Temporary" And Minimal Effect. In June, climate scientist Georg Feulner wrote at RealClimate.org about a study he conducted with Stefan Rahmstorf on what would happen if an interruption in sunspot cycles did occur. That study found that "a 21st-century Maunder Minimum would only slightly diminish future warming. Moreover, it would be only a temporary effect since all known grand solar minima have only lasted for a few decades." Representing an interruption in the sunspot cycle with dotted lines for two emissions scenarios (red and pink), the scientists' results show that such an interruption would have a minimal impact on the climate:

Real Climate, [6/19/11]

Scientists Dispute Whether Grand Solar Minimum Will Occur.Wiredexplained that while some scientists think a solar minimum might happen again, this is disputed and would nevertheless have an "insignificant" impact on our climate:

The possibility of imminent solar dormancy was raised by reports from the ongoing American Astronomical Society meeting of fading sunspots and dips in the sun's magnetic patterns. Those are considered portents of solar inactivity, suggesting that the next solar minimum -- a natural downturn in activity -- would be especially pronounced, perhaps lasting for decades.

When that last happened, between the mid-17th and early 18th centuries, northern Europe experienced a period of unusually cold weather. Known as the Maunder Minimum, or more conversationally as the Little Ice Age, it's a period historicized by accounts of ice skating on the Thames and seasonal inns built on Baltic Sea ice.

Press accounts of the new solar reports played up the Maunder Minimum angle, hinting that it might happen again. Some even implied that global warming might be counteracted.

In fact, the meaning of the latest sunspot reports is still being debated, as Andrew Revkin at Dot Earth has chronicled. But even if they really do portend a decades-long solar lull, studies already point to a minimal effect on climate.

Most Little Ice Age cooling appears to have been the result of coincidentally high volcanic activity that cloaked Earth in sunlight-blocking soot. As for the sun, a study published in 2001 in Science found that reduced solar activity produced a cooling effect of about 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit. In other estimates, the cooling is even more insignificant. *Wired*, [6/15/11]

Led By Daily Mail,Conservative Media Distort Research To Claim Earth Is Cooling

Daily Mail: "The Figures Suggest We Could Even Be Heading For A Mini Ice Age."Quoting several contrarian "experts," the Daily Mail claimed that new data released by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit "suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age":

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

[...]

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a 'grand minimum' in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food. *Daily Mail*, [1/29/12]

FoxNews.com: Solar Minimum "Will Cause Temperatures To Fall, Scientists Say."Pivoting off the flawed Daily Mail article, FoxNews.com claimed: "The debate over global warming may be heating up again amid new scientific evidence that the sun's activity is cooling down -- which will cause temperatures to fall on planet Earth, scientists say." The FoxNews.com article was titled, "With sun's activity set to diminish, is global cooling coming?" FoxNews.com, [1/31/12]

Erickson: "According To The Climate Record ... It May Be Getting Colder."On his radio show, CNN contributor Erick Erickson claimed that "most of the climate models when you actually delve into it and talk to a lot of the scientists -- the skeptics and the non-skeptics alike" -- "they all kind of point out the same thing, that the sun, you would think would have a big effect on climate, but a lot of the climate models discount the effect the sun has to the extent that it probably does have." Erickson further claimed that "according to the climate record, from not the skeptics but from the actual global warming community, the world has not really warmed since 1997 and in fact it may be getting colder." WSB, *The Erick Erickson Show,*[1/30/12]

Loesch: Earth Is "More Likely Heading To A Mini Ice Age."At times reading aloud from a blog post by Jim Hoft, which quoted the Daily Mailarticle, CNN contributor Dana Loesch said on her radio show:

"The latest temperature data shows" that really the "planet hasn't warmed in the last 15 years" and is more likely "heading to a mini ice age. The figures suggest that we could even be heading" for this "to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames" since the 17th Century.

American Thinker (AT) is a conservative daily internet publication. According to it website, American Thinker presents a "thoughtful exploration of issues of importance to Americans." ^[1]

There is ample evidence to support the notion that AT serves as part of the right wing's echo chamber.

A good example of this can be found in a December 5th, 2007 piece on the National Intelligence Estimate report on the state of Iran's Nuclear weapon's program.[1]

Writer Ed Lasky first refers to an Editorial in the New York Sun inferring that the intelligence community is against President Bush.[2] Lasky concludes that "the National Intelligence Estimate was cooked up by bureaucrats eager to embarrass George Bush and transform US policy towards Iran." To substantiate his argument he goes on to quote an editorial from the Wall Street Journal[3] which avers the authors of the NIE study are: "former State Department officials with previous reputations that should lead one to doubt their conclusions. All three are ex-bureaucrats who, as is generally true of State Department types, favor endless rounds of negotiation and "diplomacy" and oppose confrontation. These three officials, according to the Wall Street Journal, have 'reputations as hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials'." This statement "Hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials", restated as fact in the AT article, is quoted and requoted by rightwing blogs and news sources throughout the media.[4][5][6]

Ultimately this type of statement winds up being echoed by mainstream pundits such as Rush Limbaugh.[7]

American Smear-Artist

Ed Lasky attacks Senator Barack Obama.

-- Ira Forman

Buried between traditional spam messages about get-rich-quick schemes and limited time offers, many members of the Jewish community have found despicable smear emails polluting their inboxes in recent weeks. Such emails aimed at Barack Obama (and targeting Jewish voters) have been so outrageous that leaders from nine non-partisan Jewish organizations recently took the nearly unprecedented step of signing onto a strongly worded letter repudiating these smear tactics.

But the right-wing attack machine is not just using scurrilous emails to mug their opponents. Mainline conservative have been using more "legitimate" web sites to traffic in innuendo about the Democratic candidates– with many of their fallacious attacks landing in the discredited emails.

Ed Lasky of the conservative American Thinker has been a primary culprit in this endeavor. He has been writing about Obama for months and his "analysis" is to the Illinois Senator as was Walt and Mearsheimers’ to the pro-Israel community: a political agenda wrapped in faulty logic and incorrect assertions.

Lasky’s recent screed, "Barack Obama and Israel" offers a preview of what the GOP smear campaign would look like should Obama win the Democratic nomination. Given that similar smear campaigns have been launched against Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator John Edwards, it is clear these tactics will be used by conservative operatives in the General Election against any Democratic nominee.

Lasky’s piece is filled with half-truths, omission of "inconvenient facts," innuendo, deeply flawed logic, undocumented charges, hearsay, and guilt by distant association.

Before delving into a few examples of Lasky’s smear tactics, it is important to note that Senator Obama is a strong supporter of Israel who is immensely popular in the Chicago Jewish community. He has never cast a vote against a pro-Israel position in the U.S. Senate and has been called pro-Israel by non-partisan analysts such as Haaretz’s Shmuel Rosner, who wrote that Obama "is pro-Israel. Period." The New York Sun (hardly a bastion of support for Democrats) editorialized: "At least by our lights, Mr. Obama's commitment to Israel, as he has articulated it so far in his campaign, is quite moving and a tribute to the broad, bipartisan support that the Jewish state has in America."

In bashing Obama, Lasky asks readers to ignore the Senator’s voting record and strong statements of support for Israel and instead judge the man on peripheral issues, some false, some mischaracterized and some based on oddball logic.

In one bizarre passage, Lasky suggests Obama may be hostile to Israel because he spoke of a desire to see the world rid of all nuclear weapons (as did Ronald Reagan in the 1980's). What does this have to do with Israel, one may ask? Lasky writes that Obama’s justification is "identical to arguments made in the Arab world that justify their pursuit of nuclear weapons because Israel has nuclear weapons." To any true American "thinker" such non-sequitor is akin to asking, "do you walk to school, or bring your lunch?"

Lasky pulls a similar stunt when he writes "As Barack has put it, Iraq is under occupation by America (which makes one wonder how he feels about Israeli settlements)." This ridiculous stretch in logic is reminiscent of arguments made by McCarthyites.

In another passage, Lasky tries to make Obama guilty by association because his Church denomination (United Church of Christ) has been critical of Israel. Strange that right-wing operatives take this position with Obama but don’t with Bush and Cheney (United Methodist) or McCain (Episcopalian).

Lasky grudgingly accepts that Obama is Christian (while going out of his way to remind his reader of purported ties to Islam, like another conservative flack, Daniel Pipes) and then makes a ridiculous and offensive suggestion that Obama joined his church out of political expediency. This is particularly ironic given that Lasky is trying to score political points by bashing the very same church.

At another point in his article, Lasky seeks to belittle Obama for being the chief Senate sponsor of one of AIPAC’s priority pieces of legislation, a bill that facilitates divestment from Iran. Lasky claims the bill is unimportant. AIPAC thinks differently, and readers will have to make their own choice whether to believe a political hatchet man instead of an institution of the Jewish community which is charged with pro-Israel advocacy.

The smear campaign launched against Obama brings back memories of both the Swift Boat attacks of 2004 and a nasty email campaign geared at Jewish voters which falsely claimed Senator Kerry’s wife supported Hamas. The Big Lie about Hamas was largely confined to email, however. What is going on with Obama therefore has the potential to be far worse because mainline conservatives are gleefully participating.

As noted the ’08 smears have not been limited to Obama. Moreover, when Hillary Clinton ran for the U.S. Senate in 2000 she was subjected to the same type of mudslinging. There is only one way to clear this up within the Jewish community: reject the fear mongering, demand the truth and shun those who specialize in back-alley political muggings, like Lasky and Pipes.

Chicago News Cooperative

For the Tea Party Movement, Sturdy Roots in the Chicago Area

By DANIEL LIBIT

Sitting in a Starbucks last week, a few blocks from his Lakeview home,Eric Odom mused about the irony of the ever-intensifying Tea Party movement.

He has found Chicago — bastion of the Democratic Party and home of Barack Obama — to be a strong base of operations for his American Liberty Alliance, one of several groups trying to marshall the forces of grass-root discontent of bank bailouts, deficit spending and big government in anticipation of this fall’s midterm elections.

“It all started in Chicago,” said Mr. Odom, 30, the executive director of the alliance.

“Being in Chicago has given me an understanding of what is now in Washington,” he said, referring to the Obama administration. “There is a perspective for me of what’s to come.”

Though Mr. Odom may appear to be an out-of-place elephant among a herd of Democratic donkeys, he is not the only one.

The same area where Mr. Obama’s political career first bloomed is now home to some of the most influential drivers of the movement on the libertarian and conservative right. While largely unknown or ignored in City Hall or Springfield, they have demonstrated an outsize impact on the national stage. These leaders include Ed Lasky, a Northbrook lawyer, and Richard Baehr, a Chicago health care consultant, who helped create American Thinker, a Web site often cited by Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

Mr. Odom, a native of northern Nevada, professed love for his adopted hometown in an interview but acknowledged that he routinely invoked Chicago and its reputation for Democratic machine politics as a useful punch line when he spoke to groups on the road.

“Look, I live and breathe in a city where you actually feel the taxation and the regulation,” he said. “So for me it gives me a really great perspective and storyline.”

It was a Chicago storyline, in fact, that first moved him to national prominence. Last March, after Rick Santelli of CNBC delivered his now-famous on-air call for a “Chicago Tea Party,” Mr. Odom started a Web site that he expected to culminate in a single protest in downtown Chicago. But the movement went viral over the Internet and quickly led to protests in 40 cities. From there, Mr. Odom helped coordinate the Tax Day Tea Parties in April, which took place in more than 300 cities.

Mr. Odom, who describes himself as “very libertarian,” moved to Chicago three years ago to work for the Sam Adams Alliance, a national group advocating free-market policies.

“You come from Nevada, where you have the entire Legislature on your cellphone,” Mr. Odom said. “It is a small government compared to here, where it is all union-run and it is a huge bureaucracy, and there is no way you’re going to get meetings with anybody.”

Feeling somewhat constrained, Mr. Odom spent just one year at the Sam Adams Alliance before setting out on his own. “I was probably a little too controversial, because I was constantly throwing stuff at the fan,” he said.

Eric O’Keefe, chief executive of the alliance, said of Mr. Odom: “You might say he was faster than we were. He got this entrepreneurial energy, and I think he really wanted total freedom.”

In August 2008, Mr. Odom helped coordinate the DontGo Movement, using Twitter to begin a campaign to encourage Republicans in the House in their fight over a proposed ban on offshore drilling. Within days, the effort had drawn the attention of federal lawmakers and the national news media. He used online search-engine optimization tools, which he had learned while working for a national bank, to produce a Web site that soon harvested an e-mail list of 40,000 names.

Since starting the American Liberty Alliance, which operates as a political action committee, Mr. Odom has become critical of the emerging bureaucracies within the Tea Party movement. He has also butted heads with some local Tea Party organizations in Chicago, and said he had disassociated himself from the groups to avoid being bogged down in what he considered provincial turf wars.

Catherina Wojtowicz, leader of the Chicago Tea Party Patriots, is no ally. She said he focuses on his own agenda and behaves in a territorial way..

“We started our own little tea party,” Ms. Wojtowicz said.

Now, with the growth of the Tea Party movement, Mr. Odom’s work is part of a bigger phenomenon, and he is scrambling to stay in the vanguard. Joining with Tea Party leaders in other states, he has helped form the Patriot Caucus, a get-out-the-vote operation that will hold six conferences in April designed to direct the energy of Tea Party supporters toward the 2010 midterm elections.

The Patriot Caucus leaders hope to draw on the success they had last month in organizing a grass-roots, conservative effort that carefully flew below the radar of the Democratic Party and helped a Republican, Scott Brown, win a special election in Massachusetts to fill the United States Senate seat left vacant by the death of Edward M. Kennedy.

While Mr. Odom has helped build a new political movement, Mr. Lasky has focused his efforts on attacking what he perceives as Mr. Obama’s personal political vulnerabilities.

American Thinker, Mr. Lasky’s Web site, sharply criticized Mr. Obama for months leading up to the 2008 presidential election. One of its favorite topics was Mr. Obama’s association with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his controversial former pastor in Chicago, and what Mr. Wright’s critical comments about Israel might say about Mr. Obama’s commitment to American-Israeli relations.

Ira Foreman, executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said Mr. Lasky’s Web site indulged in smear tactics, but resonated with his followers.

“He writes halfway decently, so some gullible people believe him,” Mr. Foreman said of Mr. Lasky. “But it is really the thinnest of arguments, and it really is nasty stuff.”

Mr. Lasky, who serves as American Thinker’s news editor, said he was simply putting the research skills he learned at Northwestern University to good use, and doing what he felt the mainstream news media would not do: give the president and his positions a proper and honest vetting.

Mr. Lasky started The American Thinker in 2003 with Mr. Baehr and Thomas Lifson, a Berkeley, Calif., sociologist and business adviser. The site has become a major force in national conservative circles, attracting 1.2 million unique visitors a month, Mr. Lasky said.

Erick Erickson of Red State, another conservative Web site, said, “Their ideas routinely help shape and advance the agenda on the right, and they have an added level of credibility because they do not live or work in Washington, D.C.”

The focus on national issues is a matter of necessity, Mr. Lasky said, because there is little demand for conservative political activism in Northern Illinois.

“Illinois is sort of a hopeless case in terms of changing it from one-party rule,” he said.

The American Thinker’s forceful critiques, particularly about Mr. Obama, have caused strains among Mr. Lasky’s North Shore social circle, he said, adding that feelings were especially raw at the height of Mr. Obama’s presidential campaign.

“There were times I would go places, to bipartisan political gatherings, or to speakers, and people I would know would come up to me and say, ‘You are the guy causing all the problems,’ ” Mr. Lasky said. “And that was very uncomfortable.”

Conservative activists in Chicago learn to grow comfortable operating as outsiders in their own home town, perhaps none more so than theHeartland Institute, which has pushed a libertarian economic agenda from its Chicago headquarters for decades and is now turning the debate over climate change into its latest cause.

The institute has sent protestors and well-spoken skeptics to meetings of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and four years ago it began co-sponsoring an annual New York conference focused exclusively on publicizing academic, scientific, and political skepticism about human contribution to a global increase in temperatures.

The focus on climate change has helped the 25-year-old institute broaden its reach.

“We needed to get away from the day-to-day debate of public policy in Illinois,” said Joseph Bast, president of the institute. “If I wanted to continue to do just Illinois, I would have to move to Springfield, which is a horrifying prospect. We would have to cap out our budget at a quarter-million bucks, have a full time staff of three to five. And I said that is not my future.”

The Heartland Institute now spends nearly $3 million of its annual $7 million budget working on challenging the science of manmade global warming. And this time, it is taking the battle to its own home town.

When Heartland hosts its fourth annual climate-change conference in May, New York will not be the site. This time, it will be in Chicago.

Naomi Oreskes, Conspiracy Queen

By **Norman Rogers**

Naomi Oreskes is the environmentalist Noam Chomsky. She thinks that anyone who questions environmentalist doctrine is evil. Her crusade is to expose the presumed ulterior motives of the critics. According to Oreskes, if you question the dubious studies concerning secondhand tobacco smoke, you must be in the pay of tobacco companies. If you question global warming, you must be working for a fossil fuel company. If you question the DDT ban, you must part of a right wing conspiracy to weaken faith in government regulators.

Oreskes is the author of one of the silliestarticles ever to appear in the journal Science. She claimed that she analyzed 928 peer-reviewed papers on global warming and 100% agreed with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concerning global warming. If you go to the website of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) you can find hundreds of peer reviewed papers that disagree with the IPCC in one way or another.

Her latest book, with co-author Erik Conway, is Merchants of Doubt. In this tedious [ kiss of death? uses big words?] book she treats us to the details of numerous disputes between those who subscribe to normative environmental theology and those who don't. Normative environmental theology is the sort of theology that is preached by the Sierra Club or theUnion of Concerned Scientists. Oreskes is a professor and an important administrator at the University of California. Like Chomsky, she cloaks her endless conspiracy theories in the machinery of scholarship. Her 343 page book has 64 pages of notes. A pig with lipstick is still a pig.

Neither Oreskes nor her co-author have strong scientific educations and it shows. From her book it is obvious that she enjoyed access to many scientists, but somehow none of her scientist friends found the time to proof read Merchants of Doubt. [proofread is one word, irony; note no evidence of error] This is not hard to understand. Merchants of Doubt is a book of unsurpassed monotony. Conspiracy theories get boring very quickly, especially when the conspiracies are all variations of a few crude plots. A number of informed critiques of Merchants of Doubt can be seen in the 1-star Amazon reviews. [TP was training?]

In the introduction to Merchants of Doubt the fact that adding CO2 to the atmosphere causes the stratosphere to cool and the troposphere to warm is explained as follows:

But if the warming is caused by greenhouse gases emitted at the surface and largely trapped in the lower atmosphere, then we expect the troposphere to warm, but the stratosphere to cool.

It is a bit difficult to know what this sentence means but it is clear that Oreskes hasn't the faintest idea concerning radiation and the role of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases (mostly CO2) are not trapped in the lower atmosphere but are well mixed up to and including the stratosphere. CO2 causes the stratosphere to cool because CO2 is a good radiator of infrared radiation and thus improves the capability to exhaust stratospheric heat to space as radiation. Cooling of the stratosphere is not evidence of global warming. It is evidence of increased CO2 in the atmosphere. The distinction is important.

The:{climategate:(style="background-color:#ffff66;"):}: emails are hundreds of emails among important scientists that show them to be perverting scientific protocols and practicing propaganda to promote global warming alarmism. Ben Santer is a prominent player in the climategate emails. He is most famous for saying this about the global warming skeptic scientistPatrick Michaels:

Next time I see Pat Michaels at a scientific meeting, I'll be tempted to beat the crap out of him. Very tempted.

Oreskes, apparently before the release of the climategate emails, said this about Ben Santer:

He's thoroughly moderate... soft-spoken, almost self-effacing ... you might think he was an accountant...^{[i]^}(http://tmp.americanthinker.com/mt-static/plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/paste/blank.htm#_edn1)

Ben Santer, who may be Oreskes' favorite scientist, has been struggling for years with the skeptics concerning the relative heating of the upper troposphere. He has resorted to publishing papers with as many of 24 co-authors, apparently in an attempt to make his arguments more credible by collecting a lot of scientists willing to support him.

In Oreskes' milieu, it is apparently a bad thing to be anti-communist. She attacks and psychoanalyzes the physicist Frederick Seitz for his "strident" and "unalloyed" anti-communism. She puts thoughts in Seitz's head. He thinks his colleagues are "ingrates" and he "has an uneasy time with the masses." He was "hawkish" and "superior." Another physicist, William Nierenberg, is also psychoanalyzed by Oreskes. According to her Nierenberg "hated environmentalists" and was "overconfident." Nierenberg's son Nicholas Nierenberg has been so upset by Oreskes' distortions of his father's work that he started a website to refute Oreskes. The sin of these eminent physicists for Oreskes is that they were critics of environmental extremism and strong supporters of the United States in the Cold War. Seitz and Nierenberg are both dead and thus cannot defend themselves.

Fred Singer is a scientist who has been in the forefront of defending science against junk science. This is not an easy road to take. Junk science is a basic tool for groups that are pushing ideological positions. Subtle distinctions are not welcomed by the ideological groups. If you acknowledge that smoking cigarettes causes cancer, but then you dare to say that the hazard presented by secondhand smoke is exaggerated, you are tagged as a supporter of cancer. If you say that the case for man-caused global warming is full of holes you are tagged as an agent of fossil fuel companies. Very few scientists are brave enough to take the heat and personal attacks the come from standing up to junk science. Fred Singer has been doing it for a long time. In his late 80's, he is still writing scientific papers and traveling the world giving lectures. Oreskes is a promoter of junk science and for that reason cannot abide Fred Singer. Singer is her favorite punching bag. His name appears dozens of times inMerchants of Doubt.

Should we be surprised that Naomi Oreskes is a professor at the University of California and has been promoted to an administrative position? After all Noam Chomsky was a professor at MIT. But Chomsky was a professor because of his work in linguistics, not because he believes in crazy conspiracies. It seems that Naomi Oreskes is successful not in spite of her love of conspiracy, but exactly because she promotes conspiracies. This makes one wonder what has happened to the intellectual climate at the University of California.

The science establishment has fallen so low that it thinks it is a useful tactic to deal with its critics by accusing them of conspiracies financed by tobacco companies and oil companies. For the last 50 years, starting with DDT, we have been subjected to junk sciencescares. The scares were invariably false or exaggerated. Most of these scares were not more than brief media sensations, but some scares have been disruptive, diverting attention from real problems. The king of all scares is global warming. Taken seriously, it requires revamping the entire world economy and making us all poorer. The predictions of global warming disaster are deeply flawed junk science dressed up with an impressive "scientific" structure of panels, committees and organizations. The global warming scare is rapidly collapsing. Scientists outside of the global warming bubble are pointing out the flaws in the science and a coterie of well-informed bloggers is getting out the message by bypassing the establishment media where critics' voices are generally blocked. Nature is helping because the earth and the oceans are failing to warm according to script.

That a conspiracist like Naomi Oreskes would be welcomed by the global warming scientific establishment and invited to speak at the December 2010 American Geophysical Union meeting is a symptom of increasing desperation. The global warming advocates have dug themselves into a deep hole and they can't seem to stop digging. Ironically Oreskes spoke at a meeting where Exxon Mobil was the biggest financial contributor^{[ii]^}(http://tmp.americanthinker.com/mt-static/plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/paste/blank.htm#_edn2). Apparently it's not a conspiracy if Exxon Mobil gives its money to the right people.

Norman Rogers is a senior policy advisor to The Heartland Institute, speaking and sometimes writing on the topic of global warming. He divides his time between residences in Chicago and Florida.

Rogers has held a variety of engineering and computer programming jobs with IBM, Hewlett Packard and other companies. In 1980 he started a high tech company in Santa Clara, California that gradually grew into a much larger company and was sold in 2005. Currently he is developing a new business, ScienceLights.com, that will manufacture easy-to-install home fluorescent lighting.

Rogers took up the study of global warming as a retirement project. His position, expressed in a 2009 essay titled "Global Warming Blues"available at AmericanThinker.com, is that computer climate models are vastly overrated and their predictions are so speculative as to be meaningless. He also believes that some moderate warning would produce benefitsas well as harms, and that reducing emissions without the participation of China and India would be pointless.

Rogers received a bachelor of arts degree in physics at the University of California at Berkeley and a master of science degree in physics from the University of Hawaii, where he also completed coursework for a Ph.D. in physics. For two years he was director of operations at Zero Population Growth, a fairly radical environmental advocacy group led by Stanford Professor Paul Ehrlich. He is currently a member of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society.
