  5. About the Actic researchers presumed dead:
    ‘Their mission had been to collect data from a region designated by the World Wildlife Fund as the Last Ice Area, where summer sea ice “is expected to be most resilient to warming and to remain for decades to come,”
    The WWF is obviously misinformed about the way Arctic ice constantly moves on the surface of the ocean. Did their ignorance cause 2 deaths?

  9. I read a blurb somewhere on the net that this year was the 30th anniversary of J. Neil Shulman’s classic dystopian novel “Alongside Night” – so I thought I’d like to buy a new copy and re-read one of the books which set my course as a libertarian conservative.
    Aside from being a “ripping good yarn”, this novel introduces us to Agorism (free market capitalism without state collusion) – this is the pure libertarian version of conservative small government statist capitalism. The difference between Agorist free-market capitalism and “state capitalism” is the difference between peaceful, voluntary exchange in many mediums between individuals and groups of individuals and the collusive partnership between business and government that uses coercion to subvert the free markets and currency exchange systems. –
    All this wrapped up in a second American revolution scenario as the old inside statist capitalist economy collapses.
    I think reissuing this classic noel (up there with Atlas Shrugged IMHO) at this time where US corrupted federal regimes and Wall Street monetary and market collusion have put the nation’s economy on the brink, is great timing.
    I would urge all conservatives who take interest in macro economics to read this book it has the power to shift perspectives – as it did for me.
    Thanks for Kindle which makes buying reissued paperbacks cheap and easy.

  11. Peter -the madness of fining (and possibly ruining or injuring) a 91 year old senior citizen over a puissant complaint about a rocking chair literally screams to us what all is wrong about big government totalism. It makes you see the mindless golums who perpetuate this system of regulatory tyranny. The cop who thought nothing of endangering the security of a senior over a petty detail -the self-absorbed neighbor who would sell out a helpless senior to the leviathan state. This IS 1984 – it IS “Brazil”.
    Question: what would have happened had the media not publicized this and public empathy cased a backlash against nanny statist brutality?

  14. “KATE TAYLOR
    We need to speak up about sexism in the arts” (g-m)
    …-
    “The craziness afflicting the art world: Today’s students don’t need to master the hard stuff to get noticed”
    “A naked 22-year-old student sat on the front steps of the Texas State University library, telling friends that she was enacting a serious work of art”
    “She said she would rather have been entirely nude but feared that would be unlawful.”
    “… she’s studying for a degree in Fine Arts, demonstrating by inadvertence what Alexander Pope meant when he said that a little education is a dangerous thing.”

  15. Mr. Jean Chretien went to Moscow and visited with Vladimir Putin, wonder what they might have discussed?
    Is it so far off the rails for a former PM of this country to be cavorting with Putin when we have a strong disagreement with his actions in the Ukraine? Is this something the Liberals and their media pals are keeping mum about thinking it could damage their boy Trudeau and his puppet show?

  17. It’s not the first time Crétin travels to Russia in search of a medial specialist in facial reconstruction.
    The first time he went to Russia, when he got there, he went to a plastic surgeon and had a radical new treatment. The surgeon threaded a small bolt in the back of his head so he could turn it and tighten up the side of his face every time it shows signs of drooping.
    A month later he went back very upset, ‘Doctor your treatment is dreadful! Look at my face! The side of my mouth is pointing upwards in the opposite direction, and now I’ve got lumps on both breasts.”
    ”Those aren’t lumps” said the surgeon. ”They’re your balls. And if you don’t stop fiddling with that bolt, you’re going to end with most God awful tie ever seen on a politician.”

  18. Occam, thank you for the link to Alongside Night. I downloaded it about an hour ago and am already happy I did so.

    “Ontario seeking auto industry adviser to develop investment strategy”
    “The Ontario government plans to appoint an auto adviser to provide critical intelligence about the sector instead of a “super salesman” as it tries to convince global auto makers to invest in the province.”

    “Wynne’s green scheme could deal massive blow to Ontario and Canada”
    “The first and largest carbon cap-and-trade scheme is Europe’s 10-year-old system. As in Ontario, the story begins with huge subsidies for wind and solar power that drove up electricity prices precipitously. Cap-and-trade handed wind and solar power companies a second windfall by creating a “carbon trading market” that allowed them to sell “carbon offsets” from their low-emission projects.
    On the other hand, many factories and industrial plants, already struggling with high power costs, found it more profitable to shut down and sell their carbon credit allocation in the carbon trading market. As a result, the bulk of Europe’s emissions reductions have been achieved by the departure of energy-intensive industries to overseas locations.”

  23. AGW RIP.
    “They cooked their own books (see numbers below).”
    “Out-and-out fraud”.
    In my opinion, this is out-and-out fraud. Why did they corrupt national climate data? Global warming is a $27 billion business on an annual basis in the U.S alone.”

    “151 Degrees Of Fudging…Energy Physicist Unveils NOAA’s “Massive Rewrite” Of Maine Climate History”
    “UPDATE: Added below is the summary chart comparing the plot of the 2013 data to the 2015 new, altered data (Figure 2).
    Fellow New Englander, engineering physicist and energy expert, Mike Brakey has sent a summary analysis of NOAA past temperature “adjustments” for Maine.”
    “Black Swan Climate Theory
    By Mike Brakey
    Here in the U.S. I have documented manipulations similar to those in Switzerland and other locations worldwide that NTZ wrote about yesterday.
    Over the last months I have discovered that between 2013 and 2015 some government bureaucrats have rewritten Maine climate history between 2013 and 2015 (and New England’s and of the U.S.). This statement is not based on my opinion, but on facts drawn from NOAA 2013 climate data vs NOAA 2015 climate data after when they re-wrote it.
    We need only compare the data. They cooked their own books (see numbers below).”
