TREE RING BOY HARDEST HIT: Climate Fraud Implodes as Slight Order-of-Magnitude-Sized Math Error Discovered

By Karl Denninger

Now about those so-called "scientists" that want those who do not believe the "climate narrative" prosecuted -- can we go after them under 42 USC 1983 and 18 USC 242 for attempting to deprive persons of their rights under color of law?

A MATHEMATICAL discovery by Perth-based electrical engineer Dr David Evans may change everything about the climate debate, on the eve of the UN climate change conference in Paris next month.

A former climate modeller for the Government’s Australian Greenhouse Office, with six degrees in applied mathematics, Dr Evans has unpacked the architecture of the basic climate model which underpins all climate science.

He has found that, while the underlying physics of the model is correct, it had been applied incorrectly.

He has fixed two errors and the new corrected model finds the climate’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) is much lower than was thought.

It turns out the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has over-estimated future global warming by as much as 10 times, he says.

Do you know why science requires (1) the publication of your raw data, (2) the publication of all the manipulations, constants, formulas and other transformations you do to your data, (3) the publication of your methods (that is, your means of collection of data, how you decided what data to collect, etc) and your analytical process?

FORMER HOUSE INTELLIGENCE CHAIR: Of Course Islamic Law is Incompatible With the Constitution

By Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra

NBC's "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd in a recent exchange with a presidential candidate raised an issue that should be discussed not only by all of the candidates, but debated and analyzed by the American people.

Is Islamic law (Shariah) compatible with the U.S. Constitution?

The question has no simple answer, but we have three recent examples of where regime change forced national leaders to determine Shariah's role in their governance, all failing to reach a definitive conclusion.

The first two followed interventions by the Obama administration, in one case actively and in the other passively, that facilitated the overthrow of stable authorities.

In Libya, NATO precipitated the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year dictatorship. In Egypt, the U.S. sent clear and unambiguous indications that replacing President Hosni Mubarak with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood would be acceptable, if not desirable.

In both cases new governments rose to power through American support.

I illustrate how events unfolded following Gaddafi's deposition in my upcoming book, "Architects of Disaster: the Destruction of Libya."

OH, MY: Hillary Email’s Company Worried About a "Cover Up", Had Extra Backups Made

By Masked Avenger

Big developments today in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. According to emails uncovered by congressional investigators, the IT firm contracted to maintain Hillary Clinton’s secret email server became concerned about being roped into a “cover up” when they were asked to reduce email data after the State Department requested Clinton’s correspondence. Additionally, her deleted emails may still be recoverable as a SECOND company was involved in backing up the server.

Hillary Clinton hired a Connecticut company to back up her emails, and due to a technical glitch some may still reside on one of the firm’s “cloud” storage sites ... The disclosures, in a letter Monday from Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, heighten the possibility that some of Clinton’s more than 31,000 personal emails may still be recovered. She said last March that she deleted them all upon turning over her official emails to the State Department in December 2014.

...His letter to the chief executive of Datto Inc. of Norwalk, Conn., offers the first public confirmation that Clinton or her aides arranged for a backup of her email server after leaving office ... The letter also recounts a series of events that led an employee of Colorado-based Platte River Networks to air suspicions in an email as to whether “this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy sh**,” according to an excerpt of an email cited by Johnson, who is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Boehner Readies Final Surrender As Debt Ceiling Debacle Looms

By Stephen Gleason

It’s campaign season, and that means non-stop media coverage of candidate polls, quips, gaffes, tweets, emails, controversies, lies, and scandals. It all makes for a good soap opera. Unfortunately, it’s almost all irrelevant in the big picture.

The media prefer to focus on the sideshow rather than the 800-pound gorilla in the room: the looming debt crisis. Nothing that comes out of a pundit’s mouth or a Hillary Clinton email will close the $210 trillion long-term fiscal gap the U.S. now faces.

More immediately, Congress faces a likely debt ceiling debacle in the next few weeks.

My Gun Control Debate With a Liberal

Via email, a response to a far left totalitarian who seeks the confiscation of America's guns. Because that would save all the children, dontcha know?:

Dear L,

The history and text of the Second Amendment are crystal clear. The Bill of Rights podcast I sent you provides an excellent description of the Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist Debate on these topics.

As an aside, as Americans bought 170 million new guns since 1991, violent crime has dropped by more than half (source).

Concealed carry (CCW), once restricted to one state just a few decades ago, is allowed almost everywhere. And as CCW has proliferated, murder rates have dropped precipitously (source).

But since we're talking about saving the children, shouldn't we be more worried about the epidemic of violent crime by illegal aliens (by the Obama administration's own numbers, 37 percent of all federal sentences were levied against illegal aliens).

In fact, the Government Accountability Office reports that more than 25,000 homicides (1,000 Sandy Hooks!) were committed by illegal aliens over the last few years.

So, in fact, if you would like to save thousands of lives without having to repeal the Bill of Rights, perhaps sealing the border might serve as an excellent appetizer.

BLUE STATE UTOPIA: Illinois enters fourth month without a budget; standoff could mean lights out at Capitol

In the unfolding -- and somewhat hilarious Blue-on-Blue war between the Democrat-Union Axis and the people of Illinois who unfailingly elect them -- the nation's most broke-ass state is going on its fourth month without a budget.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White warned the governor this week that the ongoing budget standoff would cause major problems at government facilities statewide, "including the possibility that the electricity could be shut off at the Capitol".

Please consider: "Illinois' budget standoff could mean lights out at Capitol" (the article itself disappeared from the IUSB website, so the link goes to the cached version):

TED KENNEDY’S PLOT TO DESTROY AMERICA TURNS 50

By Julia Hahn

Fifty years ago today, Ted Kennedy began changing the face of the United States by ushering the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act through Congress. That legislation resulted in the fundamental transformation of the demographic, economic, social, and political landscape of nation, exactly the opposite of what its supporters promised.

The Kennedy immigration law abolished the national origins quota system, which had favored immigrants from nations with a similar heritage to our own, and opened up American immigration visas to the entire world.

While about nine in ten of the immigrants who came to the United States during the 19th and 20th century hailed from Europe, the 1965 law inverted that figure. Today about 9 out of every 10 new immigrants brought into the country on green cards come from Latin America, Africa, Asia or the Middle East.

The size of the numbers also grew exponentially as well. According to Pew Research Center, 59 million immigrants entered the United States following the Act’s passage. Including their children, that added 72 million new residents to the U.S. population.

In 1965, according to Pew, the country was 84 percent white, 11 percent black, 4 percent Hispanic and less than 1 percent Asian.

ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK: GOPe in panic mode as Kasich support evaporates and Jeb! numbers drop below IQ of Biden

The Beltway Establishment's secretive plan to hand Jeb Bush the GOP nomination by flooding the zone with candidates (also known as the "GOPe Splitter Strategy") has totally unravelled.


Let's start in New Hampshire, where support for John Kasich has fallen off the cliff:

CNN Photoshops Oregon Jihadist Shooter to "Fundamentally Transform" Him into a Caucasian Male

More yeoman's work by The Last Refuge, which has been tracking down the rapidly disappearing social media profile of Scumbag McScumbag (it is the policy of our august and highly respected journal not to name psychopathic jihadist mass-murderers).

Remember the Trayvon Martin case? You know, the dude involved in burglary, PCP-like drug cocktails, and/or drug dealing who assaulted George Zimmerman and got capped for his trouble?

Remember how the media claimed there was a new race called "White Hispanics", a term invented "by The New York Times to describe Zimmerman, apparently in some kind of push for a white vs. Black narrative"?

Good times.

Well, the media is at it again, this time photoshopping the Black Jihadist Oregon shooter -- whose name, if memory serves, was Abdul Bin Scumbag -- to make him appear white:

CHART: Five Most Expensive Commercial Real Estate Properties in the World

Despite President Obama's best efforts to ..., the U.S. still has the highest priced property in the world.

OBAMA AND THE UN 2030 AGENDA: An Almost Unbelievably Criminal Plan for One World Government

By Daniel John Sobieski

Lost among the addresses to the U.N. General Assembly by Pope Francis, President Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other world leaders, is the fact that this U.N. session is also the kickoff for the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development conference. “Sustainable” is U.N.-speak for “controlled.” And that means controlled by governments at the expense of liberty and freedom around the world.

The planet is in peril, don’t you know, and humanity is the plague infecting it. The U.N., with U.S. compliance, is hammering out an agenda that will determine not only how many people there will be, but where they will live, how they will live, and what governments will permit them to do in order to save the planet.

If this sounds familiar, it should, for it is the follow-on for the failed Agenda 21 which was rolled out in 1992 at the U.N. Earth Summit in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. Agenda 21 failed in its attempt to eradict poverty and save the earth, but it did serve as a justification for world governments to enhance their power at the expense of the liberty and freedom of their people. Agenda 2030 is no less ambitious in its goal for global government control, according to the preamble of the document outlining the agenda:

10 STARTLING FACTS: Obama, Putin and Syria

By Lawrence Sellin

Ed.: We may be seeing the opening moves of World War III:
  1. Vladimir Putin's overall strategy is to prop up Russia's long-time regional ally, Syrian President Bashar al Assad.
  2. Russia has bombed targets in northwestern Syria, an area mainly held by non-ISIS rebel groups such as the Free Syrian Army and an Islamist coalition, Jaysh al-Fatah.
  3. The aim is to eliminate non-ISIS groups first. Then the Syrian, Russian, Iranian, Hezbollah alliance can turn its attention to ISIS and, thereby, force the United States to support or, at least, do nothing to hinder their operations.
  4. Controlling northwest Syria also safeguards Assad's Shia-Alawite home region and his base of support, as well as securing the strategically critical coastal area containing the Latakia airbase used by Russian forces and the important port of Tartus.

The Bear Has Awakened

By Jim Quinn

“Every man has a right to his own opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts” ― Bernard M. Baruch

As the market drops 200 to 300 points daily on a fairly frequent basis these days, and has now dropped 13% in the last four months, John Hussman’s valuation analysis based upon historical facts is proving to be accurate. He’s not an “I told you so” type of person, but I am. The MSM stories follow the same old storyline – this is just a correction, time to buy the dip, stocks are undervalued, the Fed won’t let the market fall. We’ve been here before, twice in the last fifteen years. Wall Street and their media mouthpieces attempted to spread misinformation about the nature of the markets in 2000 and 2007, as epic bear markets were just getting underway. John Hussman cut through their crap then and he is cutting through it now:

Top 10 Misleading Obama Statements After Oregon Shooting That Was Praised by ISIS as an Act of Jihad

By Erich Pratt

On October 1, 2015, the nation witnessed another tragic shooting -- this one at the Umpqua Community College in Oregon.

The President shortly took to a national platform to address the killings.

This should have been an opportunity for the President to unite a grieving nation. But instead, he chose to foment division. He even bragged that it was right for him to politicize this tragedy.

Over and over again, on nationwide television, the President misled the American people in an effort to further restrict the rights of law-abiding Americans who have done no wrong.

But to the President, we say: Shame on you, for leveling so many false accusations about guns and crime in America.

Here are the Top Ten misstatements he made during that nationwide address.

The Impressive Performance of the Obama Economy in One Simple Chart

Yesterday the non-partisan Congressional Research Service published a brand new report on poverty in America [PDF]. One chart especially struck me:


Notice that after each recession -- depicted in the sudden, upward moves in poverty rate -- a recovery quickly ensued. Each event looks like a pyramid. Until Obama.

For each recession in American history the pattern repeated itself: a rapid rise in the poverty rate, followed by a quick recovery as the economy steamed back.

That is, until Barack Obama took office. Obama has been -- in the words of Mark Levin -- an economic wrecking ball. Whether through nationalizing health care or regulatory strangulation, America's most "historic" president has simply devastated the country's poorest citizens.

The science, as they say, is settled.

Mr. Obama is historic, all right.


Guy who intentionally distributed thousands of assault weapons to criminals offers America lectures on gun control

To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, never let a tragedy go to waste.

Such is the situation with Democrats, who have once again attempted to leverage a tragic mass-shooting in Oregon as yet another lever to confiscate America's guns.

The sheer idiocy of such advocacy never seems to cross their addled brains. After all, nothing short of a time machine will un-invent guns; new 3D printers have made the home manufacturing of firearms a reality; and the idea of confiscating 800 million guns seems rather irrational when Leftists argue that deporting a few million illegal aliens is impossible.

As it turns out, the Oregon shooter asked victims their religion before shooting them. I don't know, but for me that spells "Militant Quaker terror attack" all the way -- not the typical work of a right-wing Constitutionalist.

So leave it to the terror apologist, racialist hack, and former Attorney General Eric "Nation of Cowards" Holder to weigh in:

RFK, Theodore White, and the Great Debate over Immigration

By Jerry Kammer

In 1968, when Robert F. Kennedy was a senator from New York campaigning for the presidency, he frequently made a call to idealism that survives as a quotation vividly tied to his memory: "Some men see things as they are and say, why? I dream things that never were and say, why not?"

Over the past several months, as I researched the transformative 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act to write the paper we will release Thursday at the National Press Club, I thought often of Kennedy's famous quote.

The Hart-Celler Act was an expression of a national commitment to ideals that had been contradicted by the blatantly discriminatory immigration policy Congress adopted 41 years earlier. Under that earlier legislation immigrants were admitted not according to merit, but under a system that issued visas on the basis of national origin.

ATTACK SCENARIO: How Hillary Clinton’s Lust for Money and Power Led to America’s "Digital Pearl Harbor"

It's hard to overstate the impact on national security of what is commonly known as "The OPM Hack". The secret files of 22 million individuals who have applied for security clearances -- maintained by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) -- was ripped off as cleanly as Michael Moore stealing cookies from a Girl Scout.

WHAT WAS THE 'OPM HACK'?


Every person who applies for a security clearance fills out an electronic application called an EQIP or EPSQ, which are questionnaires of applicants.

Those applying for a Top Secret clearance must answer an extremely detailed questionnaire delving into every aspect of their personal life: marital affairs, drug use, criminal activity, and any other bit of information that foreign intelligence services might use to blackmail or compromise a cleared individual.

All of those files were stolen by Red China.

The OPM hack has been so devastating to clandestine operations, including NOCs (agents operating under non-official cover), that the CIA just pulled its agents from Beijing "for their safety".

Virtually every current and future military and intelligence operation was put at risk by the OPM hack.

MARVELOUS: ISIS to Use Obama Nuclear Arms Race to Achieve "Nuclear Tsunami" and "Religious Cleansing"

Writing at The Washington Times, L. Todd Wood relays excerpts of a startling new book by a German reporter who was able to embed himself with ISIS for nearly two weeks. What he found should raise the hair on the back of your neck:

Nuclear annihilation across the globe. This is what a German reporter who successfully embedded with the Islamic State says the terror group is planning. Jurgen Todenhofer released his findings in a book titled “Inside IS - Ten Days in the Islamic State,” reports the UK’s Daily Express.

“The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people. The west is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS. ISIS intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons,” says Todenhofer, calling the group a “nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in history.”

“They now control land greater in size than the United Kingdom and are supported by an almost ecstatic enthusiasm the like of which I’ve never encountered before in a war zone. Every day hundreds of willing fighters from all over the world come. They are the most brutal and most dangerous enemy I have ever seen in my life. I don’t see anyone who has a real chance to stop them. Only Arabs can stop IS. I came back very pessimistic.”

People Have Been Thrown in Prison for the Kinds of Stuff Carly Fiorina Engaged in as Lucent’s CEO

While Carly Fiorina has unquestionable debate skills, the more I research her background, the more troubled I become. While it's clear that she is -- politically speaking -- somewhere to the left of Jeb Bush on policy, it is her business record that is most alarming.

Let me start with a little history lesson and a company called Lernout & Houspie. Founded in 1987 by two Belgians, L&H went public in 1995 on NASDAQ and operated from U.S. headquarters in Burlington, MA. Specializing in voice recognition software, L&H rode the tech boom to a peak market valuation of $10 billion.

L&H, despite its rise, was dogged by rumors of financial fraud. By early 1999, The Wall Street Journal reported that its earnings had been inflated. A subsequent WSJ investigation led to revelations in August of 2000 that much of the company's value had been achieved by booking imaginary sales through a wide range of accounting gimmicks.

In April 2001, the founders -- Jo Lernout and Pol Hauspie, as well as former CEO Gaston Bastiaens -- were arrested in what was then one of the largest accounting scandals in history.
