The climate fascists are getting restless…
Emerging battle-bruised from the disaster zone of Copenhagen, but ever-hopeful, a rider on horseback brought news of darkness and light: “The politicians have failed. Now it’s up to us. We must break the law to make the laws we need: laws that are supposed to protect society, and protect our future. Until our laws do that, screw being climate lobbyists. Screw being climate activists. It’s not working. We need an army of climate outlaws.”
The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.
If you’re one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let’s talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like.
If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this:
We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.
And we be many, but you be few.
Maybe. But I’ll wager we have more ammo.
Update: From the comments – “It’s not like they didn’t warn us…”

Funny, They Don’t Look Very Panicked To Me
“I don’t think there is any place in the world panicking as much on the question of debt as Quebec,” said economist Louis Gill. The reason for this, as Quebec prepares to unveil another deficit budget March 30, is simple: it is Canada’s most indebted province.
Its debt is at 94 per cent of its gross domestic product, just ahead of Japan, Italy and Greece, whose debts exceed their GDP, according to numbers calculated by the provincial finance ministry.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
The high price of magical thinking;
The Danish study finds that the energy technology sector in Denmark from 1999 to 2006 underperformed the broader manufacturing sector in Denmark by an average of 13% in terms of value added, reducing Danish GDP by approximately $270-million compared to what it would have been if the wind sector workforce was employed elsewhere. The Danish Economic Council concluded in a report in 2006: “The wind power expansion in the 1990s is an example of a policy that was unprofitable from society’s point of view, even taking the economic advantages that the wind business enjoyed into consideration.” The Centre for Policy Studies study concludes: “Denmark needs a proper debate and a thorough reappraisal of the technologies that need to be invented, developed, and costed before forcing the country into a venture that shows a high risk of turning into an economic black hole.”

It’s the time,
Of April snows.
And how it shows,
In Hannah’s eyes.Calling she’s calling,
Calling each midnight.
Take me to new heights,
Falling I’m falling.A secret power,
Sweet with surprises.
Leaves no disguises,
When you feel pure.It’s the time,
Of April snows.
And how it shows,
In Hannah’s eyes.Time and she’s calling,
A pool of thought.
I sometimes call,
In Hannah’s eyes.I hear her calling,
Calling she’s calling.
I hear her calling,
In Hannah’s eyes.

Now Is The Time At SDA When We Juxtapose!
Globe&Mail, March 30 – Hillary Clinton has taken issue with Canada’s signature G8 initiative on maternal mortality, arguing that any effort to improve the health of mothers in poor countries must include access to abortion.
FNC, March 21st – Today, the President announced that he will be issuing an executive order after the passage of the health insurance reform law that will reaffirm its consistency with longstanding restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortion.
You’d think the giant brains in Canadian journalism might have picked up on that. Of couse, it’s not what they pay them for.

With Enemies Like These
Who needs friends?
The sales spike by Toyota is a big “F*** You” to the media that once had the power to destroy the reputation of anyone they chose, either out of spite or simply as collateral damage in their desire to sell newspapers or air time via sensationalism.
I think the better explanation may be found in the mainstream media sales declines. They just don’t reach that many eyeballs anymore.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are Roy Buchanan (a pioneer of the Telecaster sound, with his pinch harmonics technique) and Albert Collins (with his additions thereto of minor tunings and sustained attacks), and the band (of whom which I lack further information, my apologies), performing Further On Down The Road ¤ (8:31) in some unknown space & time. It is neat, I think, to be able to hear these guys workin’ together, in light of their rôles in the now classical evolution of music through the era of its introduction to the electronic dimension.
“Gospel, that’s how I first got into black music.”
