Paul Krugman is the real Denier

The Daily Astorian published another inflammatory op-ed by Paul Krugman (Deniers Blind Themselves) on May 19 about the “deniers” of the greatest scientific hoax every perpetrated on a free society.

The partisan column deals little with the facts about Climate Change and more about attacking the ignorant rubes from the Republican Party and other assorted idiots that don’t buy it. Krugman warns Marco Rubio that his state, “will sink beneath the waves” if he doesn’t repent.

These researchers and the media types that continue to promote the idea of this fraud are more interested in the complete Socialization of the planet despite the facts disputing it rather than the actually health of Mother Gaia. That’s the dirty little secret about Climate Change they won’t include in their arguments.  

Climate Change Science is nothing more than a governmental control mechanism to convert a free society into a 3rd world top down Soviet style model. There are many noted scientists and researches that challenge the findings of the climate dooms dayer’s you just won’t read about in the Astorian, the Oregonian and most certainly the New York Times.

In a published story on May 20, 2014 on the website Newsmax entitled: “Climate Change Remains Unsettled, Say 31,072 Scientists” there seems to be substantial group of “deniers” that don’t march lock step with Krugman.

The first 2 paragraphs say it all.

While the United Nations and the Obama administration assert that climate change is settled science and requires dramatic regulatory oversight, 31,072 U.S. scientists have signed the Petition Project, saying the issue remains decidedly unsettled.

“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will in the foreseeable future cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition says. Over 9,000 of the petition's signatories have a Ph.D. in a scientific field.

Sometimes the myth has to be challenged with just one set of facts to debunk a dangerous theory.

In Sept. 2013 a National Snow and Ice Data study reported that Antarctic sea ice had grown to 19.51 million square kilometers. That number bested record high levels set earlier in the month and in 2012 (of 19.48 million square kilometers). These records date back to October 1978. A cold Arctic summer the previous year left 533,000 more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 29 per cent.

Many researchers including the BBC predicted that the Antarctic would be ice free by the summer of 2013.

The photos released by NASA during that same time period calculated the size of the ice increase as large 950,000 square miles. Despite the photographic evidence of a 35 year high in sea ice in the Antarctic and the obvious cooling period the earth’s climate has been in the last several years the Church of Global Warming has still tried to spin the facts to make you believe in their scam. The facts are in, they’re the real deniers.

Arson Anyone?

Arson Anyone?

Animal Liberation Front and extreme Tea Partiers have similar delusions “The Animal Liberation Front and kookier elements of the Tea Party movement have much in common. In the first place, neither allows the facts to get in the way of their bizarre alternative realities.
 
At least the Tea Party has not stooped to firebombing barns and forklifts. Its incendiary devices are of a rhetorical nature, often consisting of thinly veiled, racially motivated attacks on immigrants and President Obama.”
 
Apparently graduating from the same fact-checking school attended by Tea Partiers who continue claiming Obama isn't a U.S. citizen, Animal Liberation last week torched a barn and equipment in Svensen months after mink-raising operations ceased there. Activists previously twice released mink at the farm. Mink-rearing operations ended in December after the Ylipelto family concluded that it wasn't worth the hassle and worry to continue producing the animals.
 
You can waste a lot of time psychoanalyzing the individuals who gravitate to fringe groups. They are a stew of persecution complexes and obsessions, overstated with self-importance and addiction to the excitement and attention that come with extremism.
 
From the standpoint of preserving a basically healthy society, our best response is to maintain a steadfast grasp on reality. To label episodes like the Svensen arson "domestic terrorism" is to grant the perpetrators far more importance and credibility than they deserve.
 
Reality is that raising mink for their pelts is no more criminal than raising cows for cheeseburgers. If someone sincerely believes in mink rights, committing arson against someone who has already left the business is 100 percent counterproductive. This was stupid anarchy committed by narcissistic dolts.
 
It is also reality that many perfectly rational people have misgivings about raising furry little predators for no reason other than eventually skinning them for conspicuous consumption. At the same time, when you live in a place with severe winter ­- such as Russia or the northern latitudes or East Coast cities - you understand the functionality of fur in a coat or hat.
 
America provides many mechanisms for political and social change. “The Tea Party fears progress on goals like universal health care, while Animal Liberation demands immediate parity between animal and human rights.”
 
Meanwhile, all we in the middle should hold them accountable and make our own decisions.

MY REACTION AND PHONE CALL TO FORRESTER ABOUT THE OP-ED 

In his op-ed Forrester compares the likes of the Animal Liberation Front who recently torched some personal property of a “former” Mink rearing operator to that of the “kooky “elements in the Tea Party.

In his partisan smear Forrester claims in essence that the Tea Parties are no better than these left wing nuts who torched a man’s personal property because in so many words they’re racists, disagree with the whole fantastic idea of Obamacare and lastly that Tea Partiers don’t believe that Obama is a U.S. Citizen.

This is the worst kind of extremist divisive journalism to publish and does nothing but demonize and marginalize a group of people whose main political objective is to have the state and federal governments abide by the US Constitution and the belief that smaller government is better for America than massive centralized government.

I was so angered by this ridiculous comparison I made a personal phone call to the Astorian and believe it or not Forrester took my call.

I immediately asked Forrester why he could make such an outrageous comparison. I asked him if he had ever heard of a single violent episode during a Tea Party demonstration anywhere in the nation or did he believe the TP’s in Astoria were capable of violence.

His answer: He didn’t answer why he made the comparison nor did he back away from it or apologize for it. He said he hadn’t heard of any violence by TP’s in Astoria but said it “could” happen back East.

I asked him if he had actually attended the Tea Party event that was held in Astoria to see who these people were and why they attended.

His answer: No, but he did know some of members like the Gannaway’s who own a jewelry store in Warrenton, OR.

I asked him why he would claim that all TP’s are Birther’s when only 1/10 of 1% of the group may actually believe that.

His answer: He didn’t answer.

I asked him why does he publish only op-eds from the New York Times when most of the people of Astoria are blue collar folks who could not identify with the Times opinions even if they were Democrats. I also said that over half of the people in Astoria strongly disagree and object to the writings of Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Bob Herbert and especially the phony David Brooks who claims to be a Conservative but is far from it.

His answer: He said he pays the NYT a yearly fee for columns and that’s why he publishes them. He didn’t acknowledge nor answer that over half of the people in Astoria may disagree with the politics of the writers from the NYT.

I asked him why he didn’t publish op-eds from the other side since there are many articulate Conservative columnists all over the country who write insightful pieces.

His answer: I have to pay for columns and I like the NYT so that’s why I don’t publish other columns because they have to be paid for. He did say he “might” start publishing George Will’s column “someday.” He also claimed that he reads the Wall Street Journal which may be true but doesn’t agree enough with their views to buy any of their columns and publish them.

The conversation came to an end and it was my impression that although he was being friendly with me on the phone he had no intention of making a public apology for the Tea Party comments in his op-ed. I'm convince that as long as he has a voice in the media Forrester will continue to be a very polarizing and divisive left wing extremist making every political situation far worse with his words.

 

NY Slimes Paul Krugman says we're "Betraying the Planet"

Paul Krugman (Mr. Know-it-all) once again is mouthing off again, this time about how the Congressmen who voted against the “Tax & Kill Jobs” (Cap & Trade) bill committed treason, treason to the planet earth. Is he out of his mind?

Here's the link to Krugman’s latest Nationalist rant:
