Sudden Jihad or Inordinate Stress at Ft. Hood? - by Daniel Pipes
When a Muslim in the West for no apparent reason violently attacks non-Muslims, a predictable argument ensues about motives.
The establishment - law enforcement, politicians, the media, and the academy - stands on one side of this debate, insisting that some kind of oppression caused Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, to kill 13 and wound 38 at Ft. Hood on Nov. 5. It disagrees on the specifics, however, presenting Hasan as the victim alternatively of "racism," "harassment he had received as a Muslim," " a sense of not belonging," "pre-traumatic stress disorder," "mental problems," "emotional problems," "an inordinate amount of stress," or being deployed to Afghanistan as his "worst nightmare." Accordingly, a typical newspaper headline reads "Mindset of Rogue Major a Mystery.".
Instances of Muslim-on-unbeliever violence inspire the victim school to dig up new and imaginative excuses. Colorful examples (drawing on my article and weblog entry about denying Islamist terrorism) include:
* 1990: "A prescription drug for depression" (to explain the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane)
* 1991: "A robbery gone wrong" (the murder of Makin Morcos in Sydney)
* 1994: "Road rage" (the killing of a random Jew on the Brooklyn Bridge)
* 1997: "Many, many enemies in his mind" (the shooting murder atop the Empire State Building)
* 2000: A traffic incident (the attack on a bus of Jewish schoolchildren near Paris)
* 2002: "A work dispute" (the double murder at LAX)
* 2002: A "stormy [family] relationship" (the Beltway snipers)
* 2003: An "attitude problem" (Hasan Karim Akbar's attack on fellow soldiers, killing two)
* 2003: Mental illness (the mutilation murder of Sebastian Sellam)
* 2004: "Loneliness and depression" (an explosion in Brescia, Italy outside a McDonald's restaurant)
* 2005: "A disagreement between the suspect and another staff member" (a rampage at a retirement center in Virginia)
* 2006: "An animus toward women" (a murderous rampage at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle in 2006)
* 2006: "His recent, arranged marriage may have made him stressed" (killing with an SUV in northern California in 2006)
Additionally, when an Osama bin Laden-admiring Arab-American crashed his plane into a Tampa high-rise, blame fell on the acne drug Accutane.
As a charter member of the jihad school of interpretation, I reject these explanations as weak, obfuscatory, and apologetic. The jihadi school, still in the minority, perceives Hasan's attack as one of many Muslim efforts to vanquish infidels and impose Islamic law. We recall a prior episode of sudden jihad syndrome in the U.S. military, as well as the numerous cases of non-lethal Pentagon jihadis and the history of Muslim violence on American soil.
We are not mystified by Hasan but see overwhelming evidence of his jihadi intentions. He handed out Korans to neighbors just before going on his rampage and yelled "Allahu Akbar," the jihadi's cry, as he fired off over 100 rounds from two pistols. His superiors reportedly put him on probation for inappropriately proselytizing about Islam.

His superiors reportedly put him on probation for inappropriately proselytizing about Islam.
We note what former associates say about him: one, Val Finnell, quotes Hasan saying, "I'm a Muslim first and an American second" and recalls Hasan justifying suicide terrorism; another, Col Terry Lee, recalls that Hasan "claimed Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans"; the third, a psychiatrist who worked very closely with Hasan, described him as "almost belligerent about being Muslim."
Finally, the jihad school of thought attributes importance to the Islamic authorities' urging American Muslim soldiers to refuse to fight their co-religionists, thereby providing a basis for sudden jihad. In 2001, for example, responding to the U.S. attack on the Taliban, the mufti of Egypt, Ali Gum'a, issued a fatwa stating that "The Muslim soldier in the American army must refrain [from participating] in this war." Hasan himself, echoing that message, advised a young Muslim disciple, Duane Reasoner Jr., not to join the U.S. army because "Muslims shouldn't kill Muslims."
If the jihad explanation is overwhelmingly more persuasive than the victim one, it's also far more awkward to articulate. Everyone finds blaming road rage, Accutane, or an arranged marriage easier than discussing Islamic doctrines. And so, a prediction: what Ralph Peters calls the army's "unforgivable political correctness" will officially ascribe Hasan's assault to his victimization and will leave jihad unmentioned.
And thus will the army blind itself and not prepare for its next jihadi attack.

Pat Condell's "Warning to America"
Very much worth the download and look....
"... as long as America's First Amendment remains inviolate, there will always be an oasis of freedom on this planet that Islam cannot touch."
What you probably don't know about how the Obamites are organizing to destroy freedom of speech, world-wide, in full agreement with reactionary theocratic totalitarian dictatorships.

Resolving the Cognitive Dissonance of Islam
Hat tip to Michael Ellner for this item. The only thing I could add to this article is the fact that Islamic culture has not gone through any period of scientific revolution, renaissance, enlightenment, reformation, nor any movement for abolition of Kings, nor ridding itself of slavery, nor any movement for civil rights, women's rights, or human rights, nor any kind of sexual revolution. The Islamic world of Saharasia remains trapped in theocratic totalitarian dictatorship. To hope for a reform-movement to start within Islam is to be delusional. What we need is a reform-movement within the Western liberal democracies, to view the problem without our own delusions, or "cognitive dissonance" as this author aptly puts it. Too many of our political leaders and media elites have made emotional alliances with the Islamic aggressors and terrorists, if not also suffering from some kind of sick admiration for Islamic sexual slavery and oppression of children and women.

Resolving the Cognitive Dissonance of Islam
By D.L. Adams
From: American Thinker, 7 Nov.2009
The negative spiritual and intellectual consequence of believing two mutually exclusive concepts is "cognitive dissonance." Our interaction as a society with Islam is a direct cause of cognitive dissonance, for us as individuals and as a culture.
Resolution of the contradiction requires the rejection of one of the concepts. If we continue to ignore our cognitive dissonance about Islam, the consequences will be dire: we will lose our civilization.
Islam is much more than a religion; it is a complete civilization that includes politics (caliphate), jurisprudence (Sharia law), war (jihad), and a deliberately misleading "religion of peace." The doctrine of Islam is found in three books: Koran (the literal word of Allah as "revealed" to Mohammed), Sira (Mohammad's biography), and Hadith (stories about and sayings of Mohammed as reported by contemporaries). The definitive text of Sharia law is "Reliance of the Traveller." Allah and Mohammed are to be obeyed, not questioned. "Islam" means "submission"; a Muslim is "one who submits." "Islam" does not mean "peace."
Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers. (Koran,3:32)O you who believe! Obey Allah and His Apostle and do not turn back from Him while you hear. (Koran, 8:20)O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil). (Koran, 9:123)
The purpose of the Islamic doctrine is the destruction of all cultures not Islamic and the expansion of Islam and Shariah law throughout the world.
O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be hard against them; and their abode is hell; and evil is the resort. (Koran, 66:9)Saed had been right about taking prisoners after the battle: take no prisoners until Islam has made all submit. They were to forget the ransom and the money, Mohammed said, because submission of the non-believers was all that mattered. (Sira:Ishaq:484 - Mohammed and the Unbelievers: A Political Life, Center for the Study of Political Islam, 2006, p.71)And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors. (Koran, 2:193)
It is difficult for many to accept that such an ideology can be real and that people kill and die for it; we see the truth of Islam in word and deed but pretend that it is not so. According to Sharia law (Islamic law) Islam abrogates, that is "cancels," all other religions.
Previously revealed religions were valid in their own eras, as is attested to by many verses of the Holy Koran, but were abrogated by the universal message of Islam as is equally attested to by many verses of the Koran.... It is unbelief (kufr) to hold that the remnant cults now bearing the names of formerly valid religions, such as "Christianity" or "Judaism," are acceptable to Allah Most High after He has sent the final Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) to the entire world. (Reliance of the Traveller, w4.0[2])
Our national cognitive dissonance began immediately after 9/11, when President George Bush visited the Islamic Center of Washington on September 17, 2001, and said, "Islam is peace." President Obama has reiterated this misperception of Islam specifically in his recent speech of apology in Cairo to the "Muslim World."
The contradiction of Islam upon which our cognitive dissonance is based is this: Islam is benevolent and peaceful, and Islam is violent and hostile. Both positions cannot be true.
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Koran:9:29)You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority. (Koran, 4:91)Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah 's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)" (Bukhari, Hadith, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 196)
The majority of the doctrine of Islam is about how Muslims are to interact with non-Muslims; it is essentially about the rest of us. Statistical analysis of the doctrine of Islam by Dr. Bill Warner of the Center for the Study of Political Islam is enlightening:
* 62% of Koran is devoted to how Islam interacts with the kafir (the unbeliever).
* 98% of the Sira is devoted to the struggle against kafirs. (70% is jihad; 28% is argument and insults.)
* 20% of Bukhari Hadith is devoted to jihad.
The evidence to resolve our societal cognitive dissonance about Islam is readily available and painfully obvious.
Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings. (Koran, 98:6)
Islamist mass murderers and terrorists/jihadists are not "hijackers" or "misunderstanders" of Islam; they are the devout followers of a political ideology that is hostile to our existence because we are not Muslims.
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust. (Koran, 3:151)Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due (jizya tax), then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (Koran, 9:5)
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) which is under a cloud of suspicion (see "Muslim Mafia" by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry) has been the leading espouser of Islamic "understanding" in America. CAIR's mission statement that it is "to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding" is not, according to their founder, their true purpose.
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Khosrau will be ruined, and there will be no Khosrau after him, and Caesar will surely be ruined and there will be no Caesar after him, and you will spend their treasures in Allah's Cause." He called, 'War is deceit'. (Bukhari, Hadith, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 267)
CAIR's founder, Omar Ahmad, said in 1998 that "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth." (San Ramon, CA., Valley Herald, 7/04/1998.)
So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour. (Koran, 25:52)
If our culture and society are to survive, we must accept the truth of the world and of Islam whether or not we prefer it.
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not. (Koran, 2:216)
Our cognitive dissonance will be resolved only with honesty and knowledge. Islam is not a "religion of peace." If we are unsuccessful in resolving the cognitive dissonance which results from our confused view of Islam, we will lose our civilization.

Ft. Hood Islamic Jihad Massacre... and Media white-wash
I am posting the links below because of the appalling deceit and lies-of-omission being committed by the mainstream news media, nation-wide, and because of the total lack of leadership by elected officials, on what is yet another major Islamic terror attack within the USA.
Apparently it is not sufficient that a Muslim fanatic invaded the Seattle Jewish Center a few years ago and shot dead scores of unarmed women, or that another Muslim fanatic shot multiple people dead at the El Al ticket counter at LA airport, or that another Muslim fanatic opened up with a machine gun at a shopping mall in Minnesota, or that another used his big SUV to run down a crowd of university students in California.... all while grinning ear-to-ear and screaming "Allahu Akbar!!" All of these "incidents" were described by the media and government people as "lone gunmen" who "snapped under pressure", but in fact they are only a small sample of the much larger number of similar incidents, committed by individuals with clear ties to radical mosques, if not to specific known Islamic terror factions. The role of Islamic fanaticism and the call to jihad murder of infidels, as in the Koran, are consistently ignored.
No, none of those incidents were sufficient to awaken people, nor the thankfully-failed efforts to use massive car bombs to take out the Seattle Space Needle, or the Chicago Sears Tower, or other large buildings -- all after 911 -- as well as the shoe-bomber, and liquid-bottle bombers, and so on, who have tried to take down more and more of our civil aviation jet aircraft. None of that is sufficient, to wake people up. We continue to vote into power, only those who apologize for Islamic terror, who like the sleeping majority, turn a blind eye to it, or actually approve of it as determined by their words and actions.
Not any of those terrible incidents, nor the many "honor" murders of young Islamic women of immigrant families in the USA, killed by their fathers and husbands in murders which become institutionalized and "mosque-approved" (if not also mosque-inspired), and even "apologized for" by the infidel media, politicians and courts in ways that no ordinary "crime of passion" murder for reasons of jealousy or robbery could ever obtain in the manner of an excuse -- none of them are sufficient. Nor are any of the even more astonishing terror acts overseas, as with the Mumbai massacre most recently, where captured infidel Jewish civilians were specifically targeted and then horrifically mutilated and tortured in manners too ghoulish to describe, before the terrorists finally killed them, and were finally killed themselves.
I suppose if/when the Muslim fanatics atom-bomb LA, New York or Washington DC, the same Islamic apologists will still be hand-wringing over how the poor offended Muslims have been so badly mistreated. So we should just lick our wounds and prepare for the next hammer-blow.
Wake up Americans, you are being led into slavery by malicious characters in media, academia and government, who want the nation destroyed and the world's totalitarians empowered and unfettered.

Recent DeMeo Lecture at Conference on Water Anomalies
James DeMeo, PhD, recently gave an invited lecture on "Water as a Resonant Medium for Unusual External Environmental Factors", at the Fourth Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry and Biology of Water, held at Mt. Snow, Vermont.
Details of the Conference are found here:
A list of presenters and Abstracts are also given here:
Note from James DeMeo:
The water conference was a fascinating gathering of scientists dealing with the anomalous properties of water, to include the issues of water structuring and the "exclusion zone" processes wherein water obtains a highly ordered condition well beyond anticipated surficial effects. While I doubt if more than a minority of those in attendance agreed with me, my argument was made that they were dealing with an energy in water not unlike, or possibly identical to Wilhelm Reich's orgone energy, though using different names for the effects. My talk was nonetheless well received in the best spirit of scientific openness, and intensive discussions followed which carried not even the slightest hint of the "skeptic attack" attitude which have become all too common in many academic environments. In fact, nearly every presenter had stories to tell of how their own work was marginalized or sometimes ridiculed and assaulted, suggesting similar Emotional Plague reactions against them as what Reich, myself and others have experienced, though certainly in most cases not nearly so dramatic or intensive. The papers by Gerald Pollack on the "exclusion zone" phenomenon, of Yolene Thomas on the Gurvitch "mitogenic radiation" experiments, and of Vladimir Voeikov on natural cycles in biophoton luminescence all were suggestive of the points I was making, that there must be some unusual and previously unknown external energy at work creating the experimental effects. I would recommend to attend this Conference for next year, to any scientist interested in exploring the mysteries of water, from a life-energetic perspective or otherwise.

[OBRL-News-Bulletin] Balloon-Boy Episode getting linked to Reich, via Icke?
This item below suggests, the recent fiasco of the runaway UFO-shaped
helium balloon, might get linked to Reich, courtesy of the Croft
chembuster people and their simultaneous embrace of David Icke's
"shape shifting reptillian" insanity. The balloon designer -- who is
accused now of perpetrating a hoax about his son being accidentally
air-lifted in an accidental release -- is being linked to such
things. Hard to tell what is fact on this case specifically, given
how the news-hogs delight in mixing up everything. This item made
the press and TV in the USA, but may not be known elsewhere.

Interesting that some positive comments defending Reich are already
posted there...

Muslims in UK without their "Peace" Mask
"FREEDOM CAN GO TO HELL" ... Etc.
More evidence of Western Suicide in the face of woman-hating, sexually-twisted Islamic fanatics.
Opening the doors of democracy and liberty to those who are dedicated to obliterating both, and making slaves out of non-believers.
The event stimulating the Muslim fanatics this time, was the arrival of Geert Wilders in the UK to give a speech. The UK courts recently reversed the leftist Brown-government policy to refuse admission to Wilders, one of the few European leaders who clearly sees the Islamic threat, and dares to speak out about it. For daring to do so, the advocates of Religion of Peace have been trying to kill him over years.
Here's his talk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTyuiKyYTX4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7lt3FA-IR8
As I have said many times, even before Geert Wilders appeared on the political scene in Europe, the "religion" of Islam is more correctly identified as a mass-psychological expression of highly organized Emotional Plague, formed out of deep sexual misery and social violence, and now dedicated itself to spreading that same social catastrophe globally. The mullahs are the generals, and the mosques are the military headquarters and propaganda ministries.
And Wilders is exactly correct to compare the Koran to Mein Kampf. "Islam" means "submission", and the Koran demands of its believers an activism in totalitarian transformation of the societies where they emigrate to, in ways which are fully incompatible with any democracy or liberty-loving people. The only comparative example which I could think of, is to reach back in history to the time of the Christian Inquisition, when heretics and "sinful" people (mostly women) were being burned alive for daring to speak or act outside the bounds of what the mostly-celibate and also very sexually-twisted priesthood could tolerate in the regions they controlled. Another example would be the Shintoism of Imperial Japan, which considered their Emperor Hirohito to be "a god", and also reacted violently if anyone dared to criticize him. And so Japanese around the world plotted and schemed to support Imperial Japanese militarism, killed dissenters in their midst, dutifully sending their sons home to Japan, for proper "education" in brutal and sadistic military schools. Today, only the communist nations have anything similar, which is why Islamic fanatics and Marxist-Communist fanatics get along so swimmingly. Both are bound together by shared hatreds of love, life and freedom. Both have internationalist agendas. Both carry EP hatreds in their guts, and wish to enslave "non-believers", or more typically to just wipe them out entirely, as the history of both creeds so amply demonstrates.
The social-sexual backgrounds of these problems are given in good measure in my book "Saharasia: The 4000 BCE Origins of Child-Abuse, Sex-Repression, Warfare and Social Violence, In the Deserts of the Old World" -- http://www.saharasia.org -- a work based upon the largest global review of human behavior ever undertaken, and which was completed and published in the 1990s, years before 911.

'Islam Needs a Sexual Revolution' - Seyran Ates

Analysis of cellphone studies finds tumor risk
Analysis of cellphone studies finds tumor risk
Scientists looking at 23 studies involving almost 38,000 people initially see no connection. But a closer look at the highest-quality studies tells another story.
The answer to the question of whether cellphones increase the risk of brain, head and neck tumors is truly a matter of whom you ask.
An analysis published Tuesday of data from 23 epidemiological studies found no connection between cellphone use and the development of cancerous or benign tumors. But when eight of the studies that were conducted with the most scientific rigor were analyzed, cellphone users were shown to have a 10% to 30% increased risk of tumors compared with people who rarely or never used the phones. The risk was highest among those who had used cellphones for 10 years or more.
"The other group of 15 studies were not as high-quality," said study coauthor Joel M. Moskowitz, director of the UC Berkeley Center for Family and Community Health. "They either found no association or a negative association or a protective effect -- which I don't think anyone would have predicted."
The main message of the analysis, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, is that studies should be conducted so that findings are harder to refute, he said.
In recent years, concerns have arisen that the radio-frequency energy emitted by cellphones may be high enough to cause tumors and other health problems. But the risks are hotly debated.

"I went into this really dubious that anything was going on," Moskowitz said. "Overall, you find no difference. But when you start teasing the studies apart and doing these subgroup analyses, you do find there is reason to be concerned." ...

More on Chilly Climate - "Warmers" Destroy Data to Cover-Up
Interesting how the people who for years pointed fingers and screamed "Liar" and "Fraud" against anyone who dared to question the science behind the claimed CO2 theory of global warming, turn out themselves to be doing exactly that. It is called psychological projection, accusing others of what you do yourself, and neither doctors nor scientists are immune from it. The press release below is from a conservative think-tank, but I've posted articles on this previously, and know it is authentic.

Govt-Funded Research Unit Destroyed Original Climate Data

CEI Petitions EPA to Reopen Global Warming Rulemaking
Washington, D.C., October 6, 2009
In the wake of a revelation by a key research institution that it destroyed its original climate data, the Competitive Enterprise Institute petitioned EPA to reopen a major global warming proceeding.
In mid-August the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) disclosed that it had destroyed the raw data for its global surface temperature data set because of an alleged lack of storage space. The CRU data have been the basis for several of the major international studies that claim we face a global warming crisis. CRU's destruction of data, however, severely undercuts the credibility of those studies.
In a declaration filed with CEI's petition, Cato Institute scholar and climate scientist Patrick Michaels calls CRU's revelation "a totally new element" that "violates basic scientific principles, and "throws even more doubt" on the claims of global warming alarmists.
CEI's petition, filed late Monday with EPA, argues that CRU's disclosure casts a new cloud of doubt on the science behind EPA's proposal to regulate carbon dioxide. EPA stopped accepting public comments in late June but has not yet issued its final decision. As CEI's petition argues, court rulings make it clear that agencies must consider new facts when those facts change the underlying issues.
CEI general counsel Sam Kazman stated, "EPA is resting its case on international studies that in turn relied on CRU data. But CRU's suspicious destruction of its original data, disclosed at this late date, makes that information totally unreliable. If EPA doesn't reexamine the implications of this, it's stumbling blindly into the most important regulatory issue we face."
Among CRU's funders are the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy - U.S. taxpayers.

Even the BBC now admits the temperatures are down.
Also, a new film.
Evidence for needing extra blankets and firewood this winter. Absolute temps may drop, with Winter starting sooner and ending later. Growing seasons will shorten if this trend continues. Prepare accordingly.
BTW, the OBRL bookstore will soon start selling very good full-spectrum incandescent light bulbs by the case. Fully un-approved by every Federal Agency, but factually the best economy per lumen, and wonderfully Sun-like. The excess heat will warm your home during winter, and keep your eyes healthy, and last longer than typical CFL's which are never used by human beings in the way they are tested in laboratories, to get those very long lifetimes. Get two or three cases now and you will be set for several years. Don't wait for the socialist incandescent bulb-ban to set in.

What happened to global warming?
By Paul Hudson
Climate correspondent [propagandist], BBC News
Average temperatures have not increased for over a decade
This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
[JD: Of course it is a surprise to anyone who relies on you and the BBC for accurate information, because you have been writing lies about this for many years.]
But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
So what on Earth is going on?
Climate change sceptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man's influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming.
They argue that there are natural cycles, over which we have no control, that dictate how warm the planet is. But what is the evidence for this?
During the last few decades of the 20th Century, our planet did warm quickly.
Recent research has ruled out solar influences on temperature increases.
[JD: Completely false. There is an on-going debate and Hudson only references one cherry-picked study which fits his agendas.]
Sceptics argue that the warming we observed was down to the energy from the Sun increasing. After all 98% of the Earth's warmth comes from the Sun.
But research conducted two years ago, and published by the Royal Society, seemed to rule out solar influences.
[JD: Thanks for adding "seemed to" in the sentence. A more accurate insertion would have been "research conducted by the Royal Society challenges solar influences, although it did not include the very recent years of zero sunspots and cooling temperatures".]
The scientists' main approach was simple: to look at solar output and cosmic ray intensity over the last 30-40 years, and compare those trends with the graph for global average surface temperature.
And the results were clear. "Warming in the last 20 to 40 years can't have been caused by solar activity," said Dr Piers Forster from Leeds University, a leading contributor to this year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
But one solar scientist Piers Corbyn from Weatheraction, a company specialising in long range weather forecasting, disagrees.
He claims that solar charged particles impact us far more than is currently accepted, so much so he says that they are almost entirely responsible for what happens to global temperatures.
He is so excited by what he has discovered that he plans to tell the international scientific community at a conference in London at the end of the month.
If proved correct, this could revolutionise the whole subject.

New Film and Conference Exposing the HIV/AIDS Fraud
The "infectious HIV" juggernaut continues to steamroll over the social landscape, crashing down every aspect of human sexual life and scientific integrity. On their side stands the medical organizations, the pharmaceutical industry, the hospital system, the state medical boards, the federal CDC, the private AMA, the UN WHO, the uncritical mainstream media, and hordes of ordinary people filled with sex-anxiety and hence easily herded around like cattle. On the other side stands a small handful of expert scientists and ordinary people, like David against a really, really big Goliath, armed with the slingshot of truth and fact. Here's two items certifying the existence of that opposition, which slowly continues to grow. At some point Goliath will come crashing down.
New Film:
House of Numbers: A world without HIV/AIDS may be closer than you think.
http://www.houseofnumbers.com/
In House of Numbers, an AIDS film like no other, the HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten. This is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. House of Numbers could well be the opening volley in a battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic gone awry.
This promotional blurb actually passes over several very good films on the subject over the years. The AIDS Catch and AIDS In Africa were excellent critical documentaries from British Channel 4 Dispatches, shown on the BBC until it was finally and quite literally banned. We still have a few copies remaining on VHS, sold at cost, along with other books on the subject.
You can also get those same two videos as free downloads on internet, plus a whole lot more. Here:
They are "slow streamers" of low resolution, so you might wish to get the old VHS.
Beware YouTube presentations promoting AIDS Hysteria apparently deliberately bearing the same titles, which are not the same films. But YouTube will pull up other good items, pro and contra, using these combinations of search terms:
HIV AIDS Duesberg
HIV AIDS Perth Group
In any case, the new film House of Numbers, is already being shown in smaller theatres and film festivals world-wide, against which the Goliath AIDS Juggernaut is reacting to as if they were some hysterical screaming-sobbing-enraged-insane oversized housewife standing on a chair in the kitchen, blasting away with a shot-gun at the mice running around on the floor, asking embarrassing questions. Here's a report on the social reaction to the film:

Rethinking AIDS Conference 2009
AIDS DISSIDENTS ANNOUNCE RA 2009 CONFERENCE PROGRAM
San Francisco (Rethinking AIDS) October 1, 2009 -- The Rethinking AIDS 2009 conference is proud to announce its program, including keynote speaker Michael Tracey and a screening of the controversial new documentary "House of Numbers". Numerous scientists, doctors, activists and HIV-positive people will be in attendance from November 6-8 at the Waterfront Plaza Hotel in Oakland. Media are invited to all conference sessions including the film screening.
This conference will question all aspects of the HIV=AIDS=Death theory, including the accuracy of HIV tests, the safety and efficacy of AIDS drugs, the non-likelihood of sexual transmission, the social and legal consequences and even the very existence of HIV.
These skeptics claim HIV/AIDS is the biggest medical catastrophe ever adopted by the medical-pharmaceutical establishment. They have evidence that those supposedly dying of AIDS are really dying from pre-existing diseases, well-known health risks such as drug abuse and malnutrition, the psychological stress of a fatal diagnosis and the AIDS medicines themselves.

The conference's keynote speaker, Michael Tracey, is a specialist in media issues, public broadcasting and "the injustice of the American justice system." Several years ago he said, "the news about AIDS was flagrantly wrong in fact and interpretation, but hugely successful in constructing a prevailing understanding, locking into modern consciousness the belief that here was one more bug to threaten us all."
Be prepared to have your preconceptions about HIV and AIDS shattered at the screening of the controversial documentary "House of Numbers" where both supporters and critics of the HIV/AIDS paradigm are shown contradicting themselves and widely held views.
Hear presentations and analysis from top scientists and medical professionals on the latest research on AIDS and why they have failed to create a cure, a vaccine, or even safe drugs...incredibly, the AIDS mainstream scientists are lost in a maze of conflicting results.
The media are invited to attend and listen to reports from all over the world and conduct interviews with some of the highly informed skeptics attending the conference.

Look who did NOT get the Nobel Peace Prize
Cindy Castano, working to end slavery in Sudan... No Nobel Prize for You!
And why should she get it? After all, what’s several decades of hard work freeing desperate beaten and raped slaves whom the world has basically turned their backs upon, out of fear to offend angry Muslims who support slavery, when we have this unaccomplished tall, slim man-child everyone can act ridiculous about? Cindy, you are just, sooo unfashionable!
Hat tip to "The Religion of Peace" website -- and you might wish to surf over there to review their statistics on just how much "peace" has developed in the world over recent months since the Chosen One arrived on the scene. The right-side headline list is always good for inspiration and confidence building.
The Dynamite Prize was questionable when a top Nominee on their short-list in 1938 was Adolf Hitler -- yes, running the Jews out of Europe was considered a real boost for World Peace by all the intellectuals. Hitler didn't win, but was so inspired he invaded Poland and the rest of Europe. Another notable Nobel was Le Duc Tho, the communist liar who got so peace-inspired he broke every treaty agreement with the evil USA, stimulating utopian Marxist genocide across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Then it was given to the appeasing Jew-hater Jimmy Carter, who endorsed the Ayatollah's genocidal-dictatorship in Iran (a "spiritual revolution" didn't you know), and got the Israelis to hand over a giant chunk of Egypt their military acquired after beating off yet the 5th War of Extermination launched against them by the collective Muslim world -- in return the Israelis got.... well... basically nothing but empty promises. Then yet another Ignoble Prize went to the Dean of Terrorists, Yassir Arafat, after more arm-twisting of the Israelis brought him right into their midst. This time, the Israelis got... well... nothing but more empty promises. And what wonderful peace came from that! Well, I suppose for 2009 they figured the Jews had pretty much run out of spare land to give away to the Islamic terror brigades, following the last peace gesture they made, giving all of Gaza to the Hamas head-choppers... And giving one to Ahamedinejad was probably controversial, even though he did promise to make world peace by wiping Israel off the map. Some years ago, the critical situation of war-mongering in Iran was put under consideration, and so a peace prize was given to Muhammed al-Baradei, the UN Nuclear Arms inspector who helped both North Korea and Iran to develop their atomic weapon's programs. That was just after the prize went to Kofi Annan, head of the UN who helped Saddam Hussein so nicely, to divert the "oil for food" program into an "oil for palaces" program, wherein many thousands died of malnutrition and shortage of hospital medicines. But this year, they decided, why not really do it right, and give a peace prize to the man who has publicly kissed more Islamic foot, hugged more communist dictators, and made more historically-inaccurate and wonked-out anti-American speeches than any other!
If history is any judge, when the Nobel committee starts handing out prizes for peace to people who haven't earned any, and who are simply making more appeasement talk, its time to run for shelter, as all the dictators and war-criminals of the world certainly are taking note and measure. Iranian youth were already abandoned to the Mullah-sharks by our prize-winner, as were the Hondurans thrown overboard for daring to eject a Marxist tyrant, even while fist-bumps and smiley-face back-pats were exchanged with other Marxist tyrants. Poland and the Czechs were snubbed in favor of Putin and the restored KGB, which certainly made the people of Ukraine and Georgia feel like, well, they were about to join the big happy Russian family once again. The people in Afghanistan now stand to benefit greatly, with the new appeasement-accommodations to the Talibans, who have promised nearly everyone a field-side seat in the Kabul soccer stadium (and if you don't know what that means, educate your ignorant self). The burka-manufacturing companies are very happy indeed. The Red Chinese and North Koreans are also quite happy about it, already grinning, and looking southward, very pleased with this "peace prize". All around Saharasia, every war-criminal and throat-cutting tyrant is very appreciative of the Nobel committee.
And interestingly, we also now have the APA and ACOG getting ready to reverse their prior stands against male genital mutilations, and in fact may push for mandatory circumcision of all baby boys. That's in the USA folks, not Africa where already the WHO and CDC are pushing hard for this. It "prevents AIDS" didn't you know -- that surely will be sufficiently scary, like a Holloween Monster, to frighten everyone into mutilating their genitals, or those of their chidren... right?? Plus, under the new Health-Care laws, it will all be Free! Also all the new vaccines which everyone is scrambling to get -- except for 40% of all parents and 25% of all health-care workers, who have become "deniers" and "refuseniks" for questioning the Divine Wisdom of the CDC -- they also will be so economical, you couldn't possibly refuse them. Literally. They will be mandatory, and you'll go to prison and have your kids taken away by HHS if you refuse. Lots of new Medical Police-State initiatives on the drawing board! Just like the good old days when the FDA was jailing medical pioneers like Wilhelm Reich, and burning their books. All that good news, in addition to the new "hate speech" laws, which will make it illegal to write or say anything even remotely anti-Muslim or even anti-pedophile. Good that I write this now, before the new internet laws would make it a federal crime.
Isn't change wonderful?
Meanwhile, here's Mark Steyn's take on the Man-Child Messiah-Virus currently sweeping across our insane planet, and for which no vaccine is presently known. One interesting statistic he reveals is, that the deadline for the Nobel committee nominations was early February. Which means, the Prize was based upon the Blessed-One's Great Accomplishments in the first 12 days of office.
Here's Spencer's take, reviewing Poller:
The curse of interesting times.

Campaign Against Female Genital Mutilation
Campaign Against Female Genital Mutilation
Putting pressure this time on Western agencies which sponsor adoptive girls from African poverty areas, but then do little or nothing to protect them from female genital mutilation (FGM).
Typically, these Western agencies have the attitude to "not interfere with local customs", so we have the terrible specter of young girls under the care of Western agencies being handed over for barbaric mutilation. It is increasingly also happening to young girls from Islamic families who immigrate into Europe or the USA. The attitude is developing and setting into concrete, that "we should not criticize"!
This approach of public pressure and embarrassment of the "helping" agencies has not yet been tried. Consider to add your name and comments to all four of the email petition-letters as provided at the website below. Then please circulate this email, or their documentation, as far and widely as you wish.
I can affirm the evidence from Kenya, where Protestant health clinics which opposed FGM helped to end it in the areas under their control, while those run by the Catholic Church, which had the policy of "non-interference", it still happens at very high percentages. It is an ugly practice which originated more than 1000 years ago, as a means to "insure the virginity" of kidnapped girls taken as sexual slaves in sub-Saharan Africa, and being marched off in chains to Middle East harems. This is discussed in my book "Saharasia". If you want to institute a change in society, it must be taken up as policy within social institutions.

Will You Help Save a Girl From Mutilation? - by Jamie Glazov
http://frontpagemag.com/?p=22448
Our research brought to light that to up to 400,000 sponsored girls who are marketed by the big development organizations PLAN International, World Vision, Kindernothilfe and ChildFund do not receive protection from female genital mutilation. We have started a new campaign, at sponsoredgirl.com, to protect the girls from female genital mutilation. We invite your readers to come join us.
These children are marketed in order to acquire money from trustful donors. The donors pay about 30 Euros per month - which means 360 Euros per year, in the belief that the organizations do all they can for providing a better life - including health for the sponsored children. PLAN International for instance, acquires about 72 million Euros every year, just by marketing the 240,000 concerned girls.
But asked about female genital mutilation on the sponsored girls, these organizations openly and publicly claim that demanding the safe protection of the girls would be against their approaches and against their policy.
So, by failing to demand, to stipulate and to control the protection of the sponsored girls from FGM, the organizations must be considered complicit in every single crime perpetrated against a little girl in this regard.
We are The Alliance for Protection of Girls from Female Genital Mutilation. We consider this simply scandalous and unacceptable. It is a crime against the girls and also a system of defrauding the donors.
That's why we launched this campaign. It is suited to go the largest step forward in the direction of an end of FGM since the beginning of the fight against these practices. It could lead to true and immediate protection of a few million girls. ...
Then go here to sign the four petitions to these development organizations:
http://www.patenmaedchen.de/en_home.html
Go to the "what you can do" link, leave your name and email address, and be sure to leave a personal comment if you wish. You do not have to be sponsoring a child through these organizations.

Cosmic Rays Hit Space Age High
09.29.2009
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/29sep_cosmicrays.htm?list142775
September 29, 2009: Planning a trip to Mars? Take plenty of shielding. According to sensors on NASA's ACE (Advanced Composition Explorer) spacecraft, galactic cosmic rays have just hit a Space Age high.
"In 2009, cosmic ray intensities have increased 19% beyond anything we've seen in the past 50 years," says Richard Mewaldt of Caltech. "The increase is significant, and it could mean we need to re-think how much radiation shielding astronauts take with them on deep-space missions."
Graphic: Energetic iron nuclei counted by the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer on NASA's ACE spacecraft reveal that cosmic ray levels have jumped 19% above the previous Space Age high.
The cause of the surge is solar minimum, a deep lull in solar activity that began around 2007 and continues today. Researchers have long known that cosmic rays go up when solar activity goes down. Right now solar activity is as weak as it has been in modern times, setting the stage for what Mewaldt calls "a perfect storm of cosmic rays."
"We're experiencing the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century," says Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center, "so it is no surprise that cosmic rays are at record levels for the Space Age."
Galactic cosmic rays come from outside the solar system. They are subatomic particles--mainly protons but also some heavy nuclei--accelerated to almost light speed by distant supernova explosions. Cosmic rays cause "air showers" of secondary particles when they hit Earth's atmosphere; they pose a health hazard to astronauts; and a single cosmic ray can disable a satellite if it hits an unlucky integrated circuit.
The sun's magnetic field is our first line of defense against these highly-charged, energetic particles. The entire solar system from Mercury to Pluto and beyond is surrounded by a bubble of magnetism called "the heliosphere." It springs from the sun's inner magnetic dynamo and is inflated to gargantuan proportions by the solar wind. When a cosmic ray tries to enter the solar system, it must fight through the heliosphere's outer layers; and if it makes it inside, there is a thicket of magnetic fields waiting to scatter and deflect the intruder.
"At times of low solar activity, this natural shielding is weakened, and more cosmic rays are able to reach the inner solar system," explains Pesnell.

U.S. Northeast May Have Coldest Winter in a Decade (Update2)
By Todd Zeranski and Erik Schatzker
Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Northeast may have the coldest winter in a decade because of a weak El Nino, a warming current in the Pacific Ocean, according to Matt Rogers, a forecaster at Commodity Weather Group.
"Weak El Ninos are notorious for cold and snowy weather on the Eastern seaboard," Rogers said in a Bloomberg Television interview from Washington. "About 70 percent to 75 percent of the time a weak El Nino will deliver the goods in terms of above-normal heating demand and cold weather. It's pretty good odds."
Warming in the Pacific often means fewer Atlantic hurricanes and higher temperatures in the U.S. Northeast during January, February and March, according to the National Weather Service. El Nino occurs every two to five years, on average, and lasts about 12 months, according to the service.
Hedge-fund managers and other large speculators increased their net-long positions, or bets prices will rise, in New York heating oil futures in the week ended Sep. 22, according to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data Sept. 25.
"It could be one of the coldest winters, or the coldest, winter of the decade," Rogers said.

Imagine if there were no reliable records of global surface temperature. Raucous policy debates such as cap-and-trade would have no scientific basis, Al Gore would at this point be little more than a historical footnote, and President Obama would not be spending this U.N. session talking up a (likely unattainable) international climate deal in Copenhagen in December.
Steel yourself for the new reality, because the data needed to verify the gloom-and-doom warming forecasts have disappeared.
Or so it seems. Apparently, they were either lost or purged from some discarded computer. Only a very few people know what really happened, and they aren't talking much. And what little they are saying makes no sense.
In the early 1980s, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, scientists at the United Kingdom's University of East Anglia established the Climate Research Unit (CRU) to produce the world's first comprehensive history of surface temperature. It's known in the trade as the "Jones and Wigley" record for its authors, Phil Jones and Tom Wigley, and it served as the primary reference standard for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) until 2007. It was this record that prompted the IPCC to claim a "discernible human influence on global climate."
Interpreting climate data can be hard enough. What if some key data have been fiddled?

Imagine if there were no reliable records of global surface temperature. Raucous policy debates such as cap-and-trade would have no scientific basis, Al Gore would at this point be little more than a historical footnote, and President Obama would not be spending this U.N. session talking up a (likely unattainable) international climate deal in Copenhagen in December.
Steel yourself for the new reality, because the data needed to verify the gloom-and-doom warming forecasts have disappeared.
Or so it seems. Apparently, they were either lost or purged from some discarded computer. Only a very few people know what really happened, and they aren't talking much. And what little they are saying makes no sense.
In the early 1980s, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, scientists at the United Kingdom's University of East Anglia established the Climate Research Unit (CRU) to produce the world's first comprehensive history of surface temperature. It's known in the trade as the "Jones and Wigley" record for its authors, Phil Jones and Tom Wigley, and it served as the primary reference standard for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) until 2007. It was this record that prompted the IPCC to claim a "discernible human influence on global climate."
Putting together such a record isn't at all easy. Weather stations weren't really designed to monitor global climate. Long-standing ones were usually established at points of commerce, which tend to grow into cities that induce spurious warming trends in their records. Trees grow up around thermometers and lower the afternoon temperature. Further, as documented by the University of Colorado's Roger Pielke Sr., many of the stations themselves are placed in locations, such as in parking lots or near heat vents, where artificially high temperatures are bound to be recorded.
So the weather data that go into the historical climate records that are required to verify models of global warming aren't the original records at all. Jones and Wigley, however, weren't specific about what was done to which station in order to produce their record, which, according to the IPCC, showed a warming of 0.6° +/- 0.2°C in the 20th century.
Now begins the fun. Warwick Hughes, an Australian scientist, wondered where that "+/-" came from, so he politely wrote Phil Jones in early 2005, asking for the original data. Jones's response to a fellow scientist attempting to replicate his work was, "We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?"
Reread that statement, for it is breathtaking in its anti-scientific thrust. In fact, the entire purpose of replication is to "try and find something wrong." The ultimate objective of science is to do things so well that, indeed, nothing is wrong.
Then the story changed. In June 2009, Georgia Tech's Peter Webster told Canadian researcher Stephen McIntyre that he had requested raw data, and Jones freely gave it to him. So McIntyre promptly filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the same data. Despite having been invited by the National Academy of Sciences to present his analyses of millennial temperatures, McIntyre was told that he couldn't have the data because he wasn't an "academic." So his colleague Ross McKitrick, an economist at the University of Guelph, asked for the data. He was turned down, too.
Faced with a growing number of such requests, Jones refused them all, saying that there were "confidentiality" agreements regarding the data between CRU and nations that supplied the data. McIntyre's blog readers then requested those agreements, country by country, but only a handful turned out to exist, mainly from Third World countries and written in very vague language.
It's worth noting that McKitrick and I had published papers demonstrating that the quality of land-based records is so poor that the warming trend estimated since 1979 (the first year for which we could compare those records to independent data from satellites) may have been overestimated by 50 percent. Webster, who received the CRU data, published studies linking changes in hurricane patterns to warming (while others have found otherwise).
Enter the dog that ate global warming.
Roger Pielke Jr., an esteemed professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado, then requested the raw data from Jones. Jones responded:
Since the 1980s, we have merged the data we have received into existing series or begun new ones, so it is impossible to say if all stations within a particular country or if all of an individual record should be freely available. Data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites, only the station series after adjustment for homogeneity issues. We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (i.e., quality controlled and homogenized) data.
The statement about "data storage" is balderdash. They got the records from somewhere. The files went onto a computer. All of the original data could easily fit on the 9-inch tape drives common in the mid-1980s. I had all of the world's surface barometric pressure data on one such tape in 1979.
If we are to believe Jones's note to the younger Pielke, CRU adjusted the original data and then lost or destroyed them over twenty years ago. The letter to Warwick Hughes may have been an outright lie. After all, Peter Webster received some of the data this year. So the question remains: What was destroyed or lost, when was it destroyed or lost, and why?
All of this is much more than an academic spat. It now appears likely that the U.S. Senate will drop cap-and-trade climate legislation from its docket this fall - whereupon the Obama Environmental Protection Agency is going to step in and issue regulations on carbon-dioxide emissions. Unlike a law, which can't be challenged on a scientific basis, a regulation can. If there are no data, there's no science. U.S. taxpayers deserve to know the answer to the question posed above.

TOP SECRET! "Global Warming Takes a Break" Shhh! TOP SECRET!
"the Earth has not warmed for nearly a decade and that we are likely entering one or even two decades during which temperatures cool."
One of the Top Dogs in the UN IPCC's "Climate Change" division, a top policy-wonk for "Global Warming" hysteria, breaks ranks and blurts out the truth.
Welcome to the club, Prof. Latif, but what took you so long? CO2 continues to rise, mostly likely due to upwelling from deep ocean currents rich in CO2, but temps are declining globally, following trends in solar variation.
But why wasn't this a top headline in all the mainstream newspapers? Why not the lead story for all the mainstream alphabet-soup TV-News talking-heads? If you need an answer to those questions, then you haven't been paying attention.
Another "inconvenient truth". J.D.

Global warming takes a break
Posted: September 11, 2009

Imagine if Pope Benedict gave a speech saying the Catholic Church has had it wrong all these centuries; there is no reason priests shouldn't marry. That might generate the odd headline, no?
...
When a leading proponent for one point of view suddenly starts batting for the other side, it's usually newsworthy.
So why was a speech last week by Mojib Latif of Germany's Leibniz Institute not give more prominence?
Prof. Latif is one of the leading climate modellers in the world. He is the recipient of several international climate-study prizes and a lead author for the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has contributed significantly to the IPCC's last two five-year reports that have stated unequivocally that man-made greenhouse emissions are causing the planet to warm dangerously.
Yet last week in Geneva, at the UN's World Climate Conference -- an annual gathering of the so-called "scientific consensus" on man-made climate change -- Prof. Latif conceded the Earth has not warmed for nearly a decade and that we are likely entering "one or even two decades during which temperatures cool."
The global warming theory has been based all along on the idea that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans would absorb much of the greenhouse warming caused by a rise in man-made carbon dioxide, then they would let off that heat and warm the atmosphere and the land.
But as Prof. Latif pointed out, the Atlantic, and particularly the North Atlantic, has been cooling instead. And it looks set to continue a cooling phase for 10 to 20 more years. "How much?" he wondered before the assembled delegates. "The jury is still out."
But it is increasingly clear that global warming is on hiatus for the time being. And that is not what the UN, the alarmist scientists or environmentalists predicted. For the past dozen years, since the Kyoto accords were signed in 1997, it has been beaten into our heads with the force and repetition of the rowing drum on a slave galley that the Earth is warming and will continue to warm rapidly through this century until we reach deadly temperatures around 2100.
While they deny it now, the facts to the contrary are staring them in the face: None of the alarmist drummers ever predicted anything like a 30-year pause in their apocalyptic scenario.
