Watching the DENIERS squirm over smear that Rothschilds behind Climate Change

The so called Climate Change "debates" have moved on beyond the science of the question --- way way beyond.

One of the world's leading climate change denying groups, the immodestly title Galileo Movement, with a veritable Who's Who of the world's top climate deniers as its scientific advisors, has recently taken to publicly claiming that the people behind all this climate change talk are Jews-Bent-On-World-Domination.

Oh they didn't put it quite that baldly : since the Holocaust, that has been judged both legally and politically risky.

Dog Whistle phrases, coded phrases all the anti-semites soon learn with a broad wink,wink, hint, hint are what stands in today.

So it is Tightly knot cabals of big banking families with names like Rothschild who are the banksters that will make trillions over carbon trading, the new "fiat" currency and the grease to pave the way to one world government domination.

Shades of Henry Ford's eternally popular fake document, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, lurk behind everyone of those time-worn phrases.

Over 100 years old but, apparently, still going strong as every new generation of paranoid anti-semites comes along.

The Jewish Conspiracy claims were reported without comment by the big newspapers around the world before 1945 - but after that became verboten - until this year.

And in Rupert Murdoch's native Australia, of course - the land that taught Mr Make-It-UP everything he routinely does till this very day.

One of the country's leading paper chains (Fairfax) ran the comments - without addressing them - in all their newspapers throughout the land, giving them the widest popular publicity.

(To be fair as possible - perhaps they did so out of deference to their newest (and fattest) major shareholder, a big fan of some of the more extreme climate denying members of the Galileo Movement.)

"Watching the Deniers" is relentless in pursuit of DENIER distortions


Luckily, just as greed and denial never sleeps, nor do its opponents - never more true than in the case of Mike at the aptly named Australian blog "WATCHING THE DENIERS" , better known to his many fans around the world as WTD .

Mike, a forty something IT specialist from Melbourne, who describes himself as a centre left market oriented independent, has been all over the deniers' doings like a dirty shirt.

The mainstream press ignored the "Climate Change-is-a-Jewish-Plot" allegations - as did, surprisingly, the mainstream Climate Change Believing blogs !

Mike just kept churning out his updates on this story, faster than the deniers could spin their yarn in defence of their statements.

It was all rather like the three authors of  The Federalist Papers overwhelming opponents to ratifying the American Constitution by the sheer volume and speed of their papers in favour of the federalist cause, back in late 18th century America !

It is amazing, considering WTD's ability to build this story on the deniers' smears against Jews, that there is no Wikipedia article on this blog : a hint for someone perhaps ?

Greens lead in Melbourne by-election because Australian socialists are to the right of Canada's Stephen Harper

Socialists unite with Libertarians to defeat Greens, again


Australia's PM Julia Gillard is from the Labor Party  (Labor = NDP in Canadian terms, supposedly) and she is opposed to gay marriage.

So she says, in public. Has to say in public (or get slaughtered by enough of the voters to render her party practically seatless).

In a state-level by-election today in inner city Melbourne, the Greens lead the pack at 38% - winning the seat in Canadian FPP terms.

But in Australia, it is proportional voting and so the Green candidate will lose on second round preferences.

The Libertarian opposition coalition is not running a candidate and told all their voters to vote Labor --- they may different sometimes on some economic issues but they are both equally death on gay rights.

The Aussie Greens do well because the local left wingers are almost as right wing, well almost as right wing,  as the Nova Scotia left wingers.

Nova Scotia Greens fail to seize "green opportunity"


But in Nova Scotia, the Greens have totally failed to seize this opportunity opening up for them as the NDP here shed many long time supporters.

Dead skunks in the middle of road would get more votes than the Greens in Nova Scotia , if an election was held right now.

I might add that the Green national leader is from Nova Scotia but still no lift under the local Greens sails ---- even the combo of Darrell Dexter and Elizabeth May can't Viagratize the flaccid Green members....

Carbon Ate My Homework 2 : Aussie grave robbers

The Nasty 'Abbott

Last week it was Brumby's the bakers who were after stealing bread - from their customers.

And then blaming it on the new Australian carbon tax.

The head of the company resigned, after that PR disaster.

The person who really should have resigned is Libertarian Party leader Tony  "the Nasty"  'Abbott, the reputed Prime Minister in waiting, who has been smearing mistruths about the carbon tax's effect on prices from morning to dusk.

The stupid gits in the business community who fall for his line unfortunately end up falling on the sword , not our Tony.


Grave Robbers


Latest sword-faller will be someone in a Melbourne area funeral home business which told a grieving family that sequestering the carbon in their relative's body into a grave would now cost an extra $55 thanks to the new carbon tax.

Actually the increase in the price had been in the pipeline for months and had nothing to do with carbon taxes - this  just seemed ( at the time) an easy way to deflect an unpopular price increase upon any even more unpopular (er demonized) carbon tax.

Well the media went ballistic on this one -- burying dear old dad instead of burning him in a cremation greatly reduces, not increases the CO2 we pour into the heavens : if anything the family deserved a refund not a price increase !


Denier New Math : an extra  $100 a litre carbon tax ..... 

When I read this story I searched green and denier-fighting parts of the blog-o-sphere for their take on it.

Believe it or not, I found the story only on hundreds of climate change sites, even though the story hardly flattered their cause.

Comforting to know they are too stupid to see this - but also scary to see that they and their readers are too stupid to see this.

What sort of tax on carbon could possibly drive the price of petrol up so much that it would be an EXTRA $55, just for using a backhoe for 5 minutes to dig a grave ?

What a new $100 per litre tax or something ?

Truly, "Greed Never Sleeps" - and in this case, I do not mean  greed for money.

Even global threats quail before Universe-sized Egos

No, I mean the greed some politicians have to hold the highest office in the land: Tony "the Nasty" 'Abbott is so hungry to be PM, he can almost taste it and he will stop at nothing to win it.

Even if that means reversing his own personal position on carbon taxes from what he said but a year or two earlier.

Yes global warming is a threat to human existence but there are times when even a threat this global seems sub-atomic sized compared to the size of the threat to humanity posed by the size of some mens' egos and ambitions.....
