I have often mentioned before that the those impressive graphs of rising surface temperatures are faked, as if everyone knew, and everyone agreed, inadvertently imitating the mock consensus style of the warmists, without giving a citation. Here is the article that exposed the fakery for the US weather stations The method is simple: The raw and adjusted data is available from the United States Historical Climatology Network Monthly Temperature and …
Creating the next crisis 2
Thanks to the generosity of kindly uncle Sam:
Bad credit?
No credit?
No problem! Buy the house of your dreams with no money down!
The universal government white paper:
In short, the white paper tells us: Politicians are of course entirely lily white and innocent, except that the other party allowed bad people in the private sector to do bad things. Some regulatory agencies failed to do enough. Solving the problem requires more power to the government. Those regulatory agencies that failed the worst, will get the largest increase in money and power.
Inflation looms
The bond market does not tell us what the smart money people think inflation will be. It tells us what those among the smart money people who do not expect very high levels of inflation think inflation will be.
In addition to an on budget deficit of ten percent or so, there is also a much larger off budget deficit, in the form of an ever growing pile of government guarantees, which there is no will to restrain. Put the two deficits together, crisis looms.
Trees do not grow to the sky. That which cannot continue, must stop
Creating the next crisis:
In a free market, financiers who take stupid risks lose money, and cease to be financiers. The core of the Obama Bush interventions is to ensure that financiers who take stupid risks continue in business and continue in charge of other people’s money. In the Washington Post, Obama’s chief financial advisers explain their program: In theory, securitization should serve to reduce credit risk by spreading it more widely. But by …
Internet Gold alive and well
Like Napster they demonstrated that the business model was viable, and also demonstrated that as soon as you started transferring serious money the US government would come after you. As a result, there are a lot of replacements for e-gold, which the US government will find hard to shut down
The end of science and art
pseudo science not only dominates such highly political fields as global warming, but also even non political areas.
Global warming swindle.
Every so often you see these graphs supposedly showing how the world has warmed during the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries, supposedly based on surface temperatures. Steve McIntyre is launching a freedom of information request to find out what, if anything, these graphs are based on, and, of course, they are refusing.
“The Goode Family†is not funny
The Goode family are too nice and sincere to laugh at. Where is the liberal fascism and liberal totalitarianism? Observe that the kid gets away with defining his ethnicity as “African American” (he is white from South Africa) while in real life the kid from South Africa who pulled that stunt got expelled from college. The only funny character is the dog, because he is rebelling against the family veganism …
Blog empty due to crash and move to new host.
My previous host (Servers and Domains) crashed on me, and despite considerable passage of time, are still down. As a result many articles are missing I hope to recover nearly all of them in the next couple of days. Recovering comments will take a little longer. I apologize for the inconvenience – and for my failure to keep adequate backups.
