Pope Bets His House on ‘Climate Change’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Pope Leo X, whose shenanigans touched off the Protestant Reformation. Pope Francis I has a chance to out-fail him.

With the moral authority of his church still disabled by its world-wide pedophilia scandal, the Red Pope is staking all they have left on one last throw of the dice.

So we’re all waiting for the Red Pope’s encyclical that’s going to make belief in Global Warming a religious issue (hint: it already is) and give a huge lift to the political Left throughout the Western world ( http://www.csmonitor.com/World/2015/0614/Pope-Francis-climate-change-encyclical-seeks-to-transform-debate-video ).

If the dice show craps, the Red Pope could go down in history as the pope who buried the Roman Catholic Church.

Why do I call him the Red Pope?

Because all his life he’s been an advocate and pusher of Big Government, and government as the solution to every human problem.

Nothing, but nothing, can beat Saving the Planet from Climate Change as an excuse to grow the government. As an excuse, in fact, to do anything.

As icing on the cake, one of the Red Pope’s close advisers in 2009 publicly said half the population of the world, like, has got to go. And, to make it even more fun for government types who batten on the human race like ticks, this guy has advised the pope that the world needs an “Earth Constitution” as the supreme source of law–Bible, schmeible–and a “Planetary Court.” ( http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/climate-change-overpopulation-pope/2015/06/14/id/650462/ )

As a general rule of life: When individuals and groups that have repeatedly been caught lying and cheating, propose radical new policies that will fabulously enhance their own wealth and power… don’t believe them!

Don’t ever believe them.

‘Gay Marriage’ Study–Fake, Fake, Fake

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Not that this should come as any kind of surprise to anybody, but a major “scientific” study supporting same-sex “marriage” has been retracted by its author… because it has turned out to be a fraud ( http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/science-retraction-gay-marriage-views-fake-data-118131.html ).

Is science even science anymore? Do they ever tell the truth? We’ve already seen this in regard to Global Warming–suppressing some data, overemphasizing other data, claiming press releases are “peer-reviewed scientific papers,” suing, bullying, and mobilizing political pressure against critics and dissenters: all justified in the name of the good cause of Saving the Planet.

In the case of the “gay marriage” study, we were asked to believe that Science “proves” that most Americans are gung-ho for it, and anyone can be converted to the cause just by twenty minutes’ worth of conversation with a “gay person.”

Now the alleged researchers have admitted that they faked it. Oops.

Common sense break: If it were true that the American people really do want “gay marriage,” there would immediately be legislation to establish it and we wouldn’t be in the freakin’ Supreme Court waiting for the judges to ram it down our throats. If it’s so popular, bunky, just put it on the ballot!

I was brought up to believe in science.

I don’t anymore.

No, New York Has Not Become Daytona Beach

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Thirty years ago this week, in 1985, “government scientists” confidently predicted that, due to man-made Global Warming, New York City, by the year 2015, would be “like Daytona Beach” ( http://godfreydaily.com/2015/03/05/flashback-1985-govt-scientists-once-predicted-nyc-would-resemble-daytona-beach-the-daily-caller/ ).

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dWmIOlGB7_0/S9nvqlTPz9I/AAAAAAAADCw/PRmRH_UPseI/s1600/beach+palm+trees+%283%29.jpg

Yes, that was the “settled science” back then, based on “irrefutable data,” blah-blah. But today, in 2015, New York has just had another major snow storm and here, a few miles south of the city, it was 8 degrees this morning.

Good thing we didn’t act on that prediction, isn’t it?

If you think I’m beating a dead horse, think again: this horse ain’t dead. Big Government, Big Science, and the United Nations Dictators Club are still going all out for Global Warming. It’s even rumored that the biggest Global Warming guru of them all, Al Gore, is thinking about making another run for president.

Saving the Planet is still the world’s greatest excuse for growing the government, raising taxes, and gobbling up personal liberty. It justifies anything and everything; that’s why libs and progs still like it.

And so the UN tells us that it’s only cold where you happen to be, personally–the rest of the world is sweltering. “It’s only the Eastern United States that’s cold,” they say: having redefined “Eastern United States” to embrace everything east of the Rockies. Give them a little snow in California, and “Eastern” will mean everything east of the Pacific.

Why do they tell these easily-refuted lies?

To get you to obey. To make you do what they want. Because it fits their “narrative” that each succeeding year is the warmest known in human history, and that unless they are given undreamed-of powers, we’re all gonna die of heat prostration–that, or we’ll just all drown when thousands of our cities wind up underwater.

For as long as the Rulers have that mind-set, the rest of us dare not relax our vigilance.

ET, Here We Come

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Two news stories, this past weekend, shed light on the increasingly desperate search for extraterrestrial life.

First, NASA scientists announced they expect to find alien life very soon, probably within the next 20 years ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/07/05/nasa_aliens_are_out_there_we_will_find_a_new_earth_within_20_years ). No, we’re not going to send up spaceships. This will be achieved by better and better telescope technology.

Second, scientists had to admit they got it wrong when they announced the discovery of two planets just like ours–nicknamed “goldilocks planets” because they’re supposedly “just right” for the chance appearance of life–orbiting a star named Gliese 581 (Source: Washington Post article by Sandhya Somashekhar, July 3, 2014 ). But the planets turned out to be not planets at all, but sunspots or something.

The humanist mindset is revealed in really bad movies: like The Lost Tribe, which I reviewed July 13, in which scientists discover a fossil that “proves God did not create man.”

Here’s what will happen. NASA telescopes detect “signatures of life” on a planet many light-years away, and next thing you know, the talking heads are all over TV saying “This proves there was no special creation of life on earth, no creation by God: but rather that life arises by purely naturalistic processes wherever you find ideal conditions for it.” Democrats dance in the streets, and the Presbyterian  Church USA publicly states that it’s sorry there is no God, but it’s going to stay in business anyhow because it hasn’t paid a dime’s worth of attention to God in the last 25 years anyhow.

The materialist/humanist pseudo-theology dictates that life be found on other planets. They think this will wipe out Christian faith. Of course, with a whole universe at His disposal, where is it written that God created life only on this earth and nowhere else? The discovery of bacteria on Diomega Orionis IV would not change my religious beliefs.

Nevertheless, life on other planets is the Great White Hope of atheism, and it has led them to make some really splashy promises.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision. (Psalm 2:4)

P.S.–Of course the link to the article in The Register UK doesn’t work. Sorry! I’ve had all the computer problems I can cope with, lately, and I can’t cope with more. Seek the original story, and ye shall find.

USDA to Grandma: Read the Kids Government Bedtime Stories

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Oh, how I wish this was an April Fool’s joke! But it isn’t. Sadly enough, it’s true. See http://freebeacon.com/issues/usda-to-grandparents-read-government-bedtime-stories-to-encourage-healthy-eating/

In a project costing almost $9 million of your dollars, the USDA is offering grandparents a little book of government bedtime stories to “show how much they love and care about their grandchildren.” The storybook is called “The Two Bite Club” and you can read it here ( http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/two-bite-club ).

In one of these tales from the government crypt, Gramma Cat plies her kittens with those irresistible dainties, “broccoli, yellow apples, low-fat yogurt, and ‘hard-cooked’ eggs.” If they try two bites of each, they get “a certificate of participation.” At the end of the story, a kitten says, “I am so proud of myself. I tried some new foods and I learned about My Plate.” Good job, kitty. You’re a genius.

You know, if my grandma had ever read me anything like that, I would have feared for her sanity.

Hey, if this works, we’ll probably see a lot more government bedtime stories. “Once upon a time, in a magical land called America, capitalist warmongers kept income unequal and made all the workers sad. But then along came a brave young prince named Lord Barack…”

In retrospect, I am amazed the USDA didn’t treat us to some healthy eating bedtime stories featuring “two moms” or “two dads.” And how about some Global Warming bedtime stories, while we’re at it?

Father in Heaven, I pray: please sweep away these people, and wipe their works off the face of the earth.

NASA: ‘Your Money or Your Life!’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

So, modern industrial civilization’s gonna collapse and we’re all gonna die… unless, of course, we give up all our freedom. So says NASA, the bunch who used to put men on the moon, but who now moon mankind ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2582286/NASA-study-industrial-civilization-headed-collapse.html ).

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which used to have a space program but is now charged with issuing ideological proclamations on behalf of the Hugo Chavez wannabes in Washington, has issued a “study”–whatever that means–warning that, “to avoid collapse, inequality must be reduced and population growth must be strictly controlled.” And guess who’s gonna do the reducin’ and controllin’.

If this were a 1959 TV commercial, you would have a guy in a lab coat exclaiming, “Here’s scientific proof that communism really works!”

Do these people have any idea what they’re talking about? NASA used to be a prestige institution. Now they sound like a lot of political hacks who’d have trouble setting off a bottle rocket.

Do they even know what “inequality” means? Of course not. They’ve become mere left-wing chatterboxes. Have they even noticed that the poorest countries are the ones where the government does the most managing and controlling–North Korea, Zimbabwe, Cuba, and so on?

As for “strict control of population growth,” countries like Japan and a few others are already so far below the break-even birth rate, that they’re well on the way to extinction.

Let this explosion of twaddle from NASA be a lesson to those who cling to the belief that “scientists” are smarter and more honest than the rest of us. They’re just as depraved as the rest of us sinners, and just as unworthy of our trust.

The Phony Consensus

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

There are still poor, benighted people out there who actually believe that scientists are much less dishonest than other groups of sinners, and that there really and truly is a vast scientific “consensus” that says human activity has caused Global Warming, blah-blah.

The “consensus” is not real, but rather the creation of nooze media that seem to be quite a bit more dishonest than other groups of sinners.

How did they create it? Simple–they just gave plenty of air time to Global Warming alarmists, and systematically excluded any scientists who disagreed ( http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/sean-long/cold-shoulder-abc-cbs-exclude-scientists-critical-global-warming-more-1300-days ). In particular, the nooze operations at ABC and CBS went 1,300 days without allowing a single skeptical scientist to be heard, while ringing in a parade of Climate Change fanatics and snake-oil merchants. (The link above has all the facts and figures.)

I am a fantasy writer. I write stories that are not true, and get paid for it.

The difference between me on one hand, and the noozies and “Climate Change scientists” on the other, is that they get paid a lot more than I do, and I admit my stories aren’t true. Also, I don’t get a thrill out of imposing higher taxes on my fellow citizens and abridging their liberties.

Why I Don’t Believe in Global Warming

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I was reading a piece yesterday in which the writer complained that Fox News had tricked a lot of people into being climate change deniers. This is boilerplate liberal bushwa. Like, if it wasn’t for Fox News messing with our minds, we’d just naturally be clamoring for Agenda 21, a carbon tax, Common Core, Obamacare, sodomite pseudomarriage, and all the rest. It can’t possibly be their wicked and idiotic ideas that are turning us off, so it must be Fox News.

Well, I don’t have television, I consider Fox News lukewarm and spineless when it comes to opposing statism, and I have other reasons for not buying into Global Warming. To wit:

1. I am freezing my kiester off. The whole country’s in the icebox. I look out my window and it’s snowing sideways. This is not caused by things getting warmer.

2. Global Warming is pushed by Democrats, and the truth is not in them. If a Democrat inadvertently tells the truth about anything, he has a blood pressure surge, foams at the mouth, and requires medical attention.

3. The agenda of the Warmists is flagrantly obvious. “Give us unheard-of powers over every aspect of your lives, pay colossally high taxes to us, obey us in everything–and we’ll save you from the Global Warming.” Yeah, yeah.

4. I am still freezing my kiester off.

5. If it’s really such a terrible crisis, then how come all the big, important GW alarmists are living in gigantic mansions, riding around in stretch limos, and zipping off to Davos in their private jets at the drop of a hat? Talk about a carbon footprint! If hypocrisy was bricks, these guys would be the Great Wall of China.

6. “Climate Change Scientists” and their auxiliaries have been caught lying and cheating so often, it becomes obvious that lying and cheating are their regular stock in trade.

7. Instead of openly debating the issue, they rely on name-calling, threats, intimidation, and scare tactics. This is not how honest men behave. This is how liars and cheaters behave when they’re afraid of getting found out.

8. I am freezing my kiester off.

9. Some of these mountebanks have admitted that they have exaggerated and told fibs in order to “emotionalize the issue” so that the public would listen to them and do as they say. Where I come from, that’s called lying.

10. There is nothing we can do on earth to nullify the action or inaction of the sun. If there is Global Warming, then the sun is doing it and it’s mere bullying and deception for our glorious leaders to tell us that they can put a stop to it by taking away our light bulbs and air conditioning.

I could go on, but it’s too cold to write any more.

U.N. Ninnie: Communism Can Save the World from Global Warming

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The new United Nations climate honcho, Christiana Figueres, says “democracy” isn’t fit for fighting Global Warming. If we really wanna Save the Planet, we gotta turn to… communism!

Is she purposely trying to satirize herself? Not only is communism the best way to fight Global Warming, she says: but China ought to be the world’s role model. China? The biggest polluter on earth–that China? Where you can practically cut the air with a knife and pile it in stacks? Yup, that China.

Where do they find these people? Well, Ms. Figueres, born in Costa Rica, is a lifelong bureaucrat from a family of bureaucrats, and for many years has been a paid Global Warming-monger. In other words, she has spent her entire life totally insulated from reality. No wonder she doesn’t believe in democratic institutions! She’s never been introduced to one.

Yowsah, yowsah, communism is the answer. Re-open the gulags. Get them re-education camps back into gear.

Did you know that, under communism, a single cubic yard of Polish soil contained enough lead to make a lead soldier?

Did you know that, under the genius of the USSR’s central planners, they practically dried up the Aral Sea–once one of the world’s largest lakes?

For more on communism’s sterling environmental record, see http://hotair.com/archives/2014/01/16/un-climate-chief-declares-communism-best-for-fighting-global-warming/ .

In Search of Happy Stuff

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

A friend has asked me, “Don’t you ever put happy stuff on your blog?” (Betty, this Bud’s for you!)

I don’t think it’s fair to say I never post happy stuff. It’s just that, as someone charged with observing and analyzing the news from day to day, my day almost always starts with being hit with something like this:

“Homosexuality as Population Control? Why Gays & Lesbians Are Essential to the Balance of Nature” ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/g-roger-denson/is-homosexuality-populati_b_784449.html ) Yup–look to Organized Sodomy to Save the Planet. It’s not only a virtue–why, it will also stop Global Warming!

And then I ask, “Can I wake up now, please?” and the answer is always “No,” and that doesn’t make me happy.

I knew they would tie it up with Global Warming. I just knew it.
