Caitlin Johnstone ponders the misnomer "Defense"
by Razer 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

"A lot of delusional, unpatriotic democracy haters like to argue that the US military doesn’t actually defend the freedom of the American people, and that it isn’t really used to defend freedom at all, and that it isn’t even really used to defend any rules-based international order as sometimes claimed, and that even to use the word “defend” to describe anything the US military does is inaccurate since it is consistently on the attacking and aggressing side of any given conflict, and that actually the US military functions as nothing other than a blunt object wielded by the rich and powerful for the advancement of plutocratic interests and the geostrategic dominance of opaque and unaccountable government agencies, and that it can in fact be accurately said that the only difference between the US military and any other band of armed thugs is funding… I forget where I was going with this. Ah, yes. Defending your freedoms. If sending a platoon of Paul Blarts to act as mall security for foreign oil corporations isn’t enough to get you saluting every American flag flying over every McDonald’s you see, then you should know that the US military’s freedom fighting doesn’t end at mere corporate asset protection. They’re also defending your freedom by killing Afghan farmers in their sleep. Why did the armed forces of the United States kill dozens of civilian farmers in Afghanistan while they rested in the field after a hard day’s work? That’s a good question. But an even better question is, what were those Afghan farmers doing lying on top of your freedom? Obviously the compassionate US military would never dream of killing non-combatants under any circumstances whatsoever, but the unfortunate fact of the matter is that you can’t make an omelet without cracking a few civilians."

Climate Change Imploding
by Zenaan Harkness 22 Sep '19

----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2019 09:57:09 +1000 Subject: Climate Change Imploding Climate Change Imploding As New Science Discovers Human Activity Has Zero Impact On Global Temperatures <https://www.teaparty247.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/07/climate-chan…> New science is delivering some fatal blows to one of the left’s pet causes, climate change, as it’s become more and more clear that human activity has basically no impact at all in the fluctuation of global temperatures. The left has been using the whole climate change angle as a means of attempting to justify a little socialistic wealth redistribution by regulating companies for their emissions and “fining” them for breaking these standards. Of course, in reality, the fines are just taxes designed to pull in more revenue for the government. Hopefully, this new science is given an opportunity to be heard and shared with the masses as an example of just how unsettled the debate on this topic really is. Via DC Clothesline: A devastating series of research papers has just been published, revealing that human activity can account for no more than a .01°C rise in global temperatures, meaning that all the human activity targeted by radical climate change alarmists — combustion engines, airplane flights, diesel tractors — has virtually no measurable impact on the temperature of the planet. Finnish scientists spearheaded the research, releasing a paper entitled, “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.00165.pdf>.” The paper explains that IPCC analysis of global temperatures suffers from a glaring error — namely, failure to account for “influences of low cloud cover” and how it impacts global temperatures. Natural variations in low cloud cover, which are strongly influenced by cosmic radiation’s ability to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere due to variations in the strength of our planet’s magnetosphere, account for nearly all changes in global temperature, the researchers explain. As this chart reveals, more cloud cover is inversely related to temperature. In other words, clouds shield the surface of the Earth from the sun, providing shade cover cooling, while a lack of clouds results in more warming: This is further supported by researchers at Kobe University in Japan who published a nearly simultaneous paper that reveals how changes in our planet’s magnetic field govern the intensity of solar radiation that reaches the lower atmosphere, causing cloud formation that alters global temperatures. That study, published in Nature, is called, “Intensified East Asian winter monsoon during the last geomagnetic reversal transition <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-45466-8>.” It states: Records of suborbital-scale climate variation during the last glacial and Holocene periods can be used to elucidate the mechanisms of rapid climate changes… At least one event was associated with a decrease in the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field. Thus, climate records from the MIS 19 interglacial can be used to elucidate the mechanisms of a variety of climate changes, including testing the effect of changes in geomagnetic dipole field strength on climate through galactic cosmic ray (GCR)-induced cloud formation… The basic gist of all this is that we could burn all the oil and fossil fuels we want to and it have a miniscule effect on the climate temperatures here on earth in comparison to that of the sun and additional cosmic influences. If you listen closely, you can hear Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s head exploding as we speak. Carbon dioxide isn’t the pollutant that so man of these climate change alarmists claim it is. It’s not laying waste to our planet and it barely has any effect whatsoever on the temperatures here. In fact, NASA recently admitted that carbon dioxide was causing massive re-greening here on earth, which means that there’s going to be more oxygen. This is why you can’t just jump on board some issue because it sounds good. Many individuals have used climate change to tick off the “angry activist” box so they can appear “woke” without having to worry about being called out for their beliefs or doing anything of substance to make the world a better place. It’s time to drop the theatrics on this issue and call it what it is: a total waste of time.

snowflake aka snowden and the cunts from the tor-pentagon project
by Punk 22 Sep '19

22 Sep '19

OK - here's some interesting bit of gossip. Snowflake says he hosted a 'crpyto party' in hawaii with a literal cunt from the tor project - runa sandvik. So one wonders how on earth a norwegian agent from the tor project and agent snowden happened to meet in hawaii? "All in all, I’d say about twenty people showed up that December night to learn from me and my co-lecturer, Runa Sandvik, a bright young Norwegian woman from the Tor Project. (Runa would go on to work as the senior director of information security for the New York Times, " whoa, the sandvik cunt went from agent of the US military to the jew york times. Priceless. hmm - I guess I haven't been keeping up with military gossip. Here's a 2015 article talking about agents sandvik, snowden and appelbaum... https://surveillancevalley.com/blog/jacob-appelbaum-wikileaks-insider-tor-d…

Discovering a new meaning of the term intelligence failure
by Ryan Carboni 22 Sep '19

22 Sep '19

I originally thought intelligence failure meant a failure to anticipate. In reality it means a failure to be intelligent. Beyond the fact that Tora Bora was meant to be a Deep Underground Military Base the CIA built for Al Qaeda ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tora_Bora#Military_base ), it seems more likely that the CIA was defrauded for something that seems impossible; the ability to conduct a massive construction project in Afghan territory when they were a Soviet client state. Or that some woman, who after being alleged that she attended a sex party including children, was later found to have been attending a sex party including children, to somehow be in continued denial of that shows a sort of stupidity beyond my comprehension.
