Global Warming is often called a hoax. I disagree because a hoax has a humorous intent to puncture pomposity. In science, such as with the Piltdown Man hoax, it was done to expose those with fervent but blind belief. The argument that global warming is due to humans, known as the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGW) is a deliberate fraud. I can now make that statement without fear of contradiction because of a remarkable hacking of files that provided not just a smoking gun, but an entire battery of machine guns.

Someone hacked in to the files of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) based at the University of East Anglia. A very large file (61 mb) was downloaded and posted to the web. Phil Jones Director of the CRU has acknowledged the files are theirs. They contain papers, documents letters and emails. The latter are the most damaging and contain blunt information about the degree of manipulation of climate science in general and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in particular.

Climate science hijacked and corrupted by this small group of scientists.

Dominant names involved are ones I have followed throughout my career including, Phil Jones, Benjamin Santer, Michael Mann, Kevin Trenberth, Jonathan Overpeck, Ken Briffa and Tom Wigley. I have watched climate science hijacked and corrupted by this small group of scientists. This small, elite, community was named by Professor Wegman in his report to the National Academy of Science (NAS).

I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of CRU Professor Hubert Lamb, considered the Father of Modern Climatology, on a couple of occasions. He also peer reviewed one of my early publications. I know he would be mortified with what was disclosed in the last couple of days.

Jones claims the files were obtained illegally as if that absolves the content. It doesn’t and it is enough to destroy all their careers. Jones gave a foretaste of his behavior in 2005. Warwick Hughes asked for the data and method he used for his claim of a 0.6°C temperature rise since the end of the nineteenth century. Jones responded, “We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?” He has stonewalled ever since. The main reason was because it was used as a key argument in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports to convince the world humans caused rapid warming in the 20th century. The emails obtained are a frightening record of arrogance, and deception far beyond his 2005 effort.

Another glimpse into what the files and emails reveal was the report by Professor Deming. He wrote, “ With publication of an article in Science (in 1995) I gained sufficient credibility in the community of scientists working on climate change. They thought I was one of them someone who would pervert science in the service of social and political causes. So one of them let his guard down. A major person working in the area of climate change and global warming sent me an astonishing email that said. “We must get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.” The person in question was Jonathan Overpeck and his even more revealing emails are part of those exposed by the hacker. It is now very clear that Deming’s charge was precise. They have perverted science in the service of social and political causes.

Professor Wegman showed how this “community of scientists” published together and peer reviewed each other’s work. I was always suspicious about why peer review was such a big deal. Now all my suspicions are confirmed. The emails reveal how they controlled the process, including manipulating some of the major journals like Science and Nature. We know the editor of the Journal of Climate, Andrew Weaver, was one of the “community”. They organized lists of reviewers when required making sure they gave the editor only favorable names. They threatened to isolate and marginalize one editor who they believed was recalcitrant.

Total Control

These people controlled the global weather data used by the IPCC through the joint Hadley and CRU and produced the HadCRUT data. They controlled the IPCC, especially crucial chapters and especially preparation of the Summary for PolicyMakers (SPM). Stephen Schneider was a prime mover there from the earliest reports to the most influential in 2001. They also had a left wing conduit to the New York Times. The emails between Andy Revkin and the community are very revealing and must place his journalistic integrity in serious jeopardy. Of course the IPCC Reports and especially the SPM Reports are the basis for Kyoto and the Copenhagen Accord, but now we know they are based on completely falsified and manipulated data and science. It is no longer a suspicion. Surely this is the death knell for the CRU, the IPCC, Kyoto and Copenhagen and the Carbon Credits shell game.

CO2 never was a problem and all the machinations and deceptions exposed by these files prove that it was the greatest deception in history, but nobody is laughing. It is a very sad day for science and especially my chosen area of climate science. As I expected now it is all exposed I find there is no pleasure in “I told you so.”

Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Dublin covered up decades of child abuse by priests to protect the church’s reputation, an expert commission reported Thursday after a three-year investigation.

Abuse victims welcomed the report on the Dublin Archdiocese’s mishandling of abuse complaints against its parish priests from 1975 to 2004. It followed a parallel report published in May into five decades of rape, beatings and other cruelty committed by Catholic orders of nuns and brothers nationwide in church-run schools, children’s workhouses and orphanages from the 1930s to mid-1990s.

The government said the Dublin investigation “shows clearly that a systemic, calculated perversion of power and trust was visited on helpless and innocent children in the archdiocese.”

“The perpetrators must continue to be brought to justice, and the people of Ireland must know that this can never happen again,” the government said, also apologizing for the state’s failure to hold church authorities accountable to the law.

Calls for an independent inquiry into what is being dubbed “Climategate” are growing as the foundation for man-made global warming implodes following the release of emails which prove researchers colluded to manipulate data in order to “hide the decline” in global temperatures.

Former British chancellor Lord Lawson was the latest to demand an impartial investigation be launched into the scandal, which arrives just weeks before the UN climate conference in Copenhagen. “They should set up a public inquiry under someone who is totally respected and get to the truth,” he told the BBC Radio Four Today programme.

The emails were leaked at the end of last week after hackers penetrated the servers of the Climatic Research Unit, which is based at the University of East Anglia, in eastern England. The CRU is described as one of the leading climate research bodies in the world.

Well folks I was hoping to have a debate about the IRS and the income tax but as usual the Tax Slave (this one named Chris) chickened out.

Here is what I told him.

Chris,

Yes. I deleted your response because you did not answer the question. That was the rule.

I thought we would have a debate but as usual with Tax Slaves you chicken out and crawl under your rock just like IRS agent do when I ask similar questions.

The question I asked could not have been heard by you since 1972 since the new legal tender gold and silver coins have only been minted since 1986 AD.

If you choose to commit perjury so that you can be a Tax Slave that is your choice. I refuse to commit perjury so that I can be a voluntary slave. I refuse to reject my faith. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act is quite clear and the IRS does not follow that law YET.

I have not filed in over 3 decades. I have signed letters from the IRS that I am not required to file. I have been informed by my attorney that I am not required to file. I don’t sit around and worry any more than you should worry about a bunch of thugs robbing you on the street.

Anyway. I am more concerned about doing what God wants me to do than what the IRS want me to do. God wants to glorify me. The IRS wants to enslave me. Easy choice.

But you go ahead and be a voluntary practicing Marxist in the New American Civil Religion. I don’t pray at that alter.

As most of my readers know, I have long advocated the use of alternative currencies, consisting of silver and gold, in order to return America to constitutional and sound money. There are three means by which such alternative currencies could be introduced into the economy: (i) through an act of Congress; (ii) by State legislation, one State at a time; and (iii) by the private action of individuals. At the present time, option (i) is likely impossible; and option (ii) will require a fair amount of political organizing and “grass-roots” lobbying in suitable “target” States before the first such statute can be enacted. For the time being, then, that leaves option (iii) as the only way to move ahead immediately. Of course, purely private action alone cannot reform even one State’s monetary system.

The latest G20 meeting ended in acrimony and chaos. The leadership of the West is in total disarray and will remain so until the Federal Reserve Board’s bankruptcy becomes visible even to brainwashed section of the Western public. This is now expected by January or February. Both MI6 and a senior Chinese government source now predict the collapse of the Federal Reserve dollar by that time.

Form another article:

In addition, China is purchasing 10,000 tons of gold to back up a new fund designed to develop and market heretofore forbidden and suppressed technologies. The fund will be based outside of China and will be controlled by prominent members of the Chinese overseas community. The gold purchase will take some time because of the logistics of transporting it and the Chinese wish to test it thoroughly. Both the Chinese government and MI6 now confirm reports that much of the gold sold by the Federal Reserve Board over the past decade is in fact gold plated tungsten.

It can now be stated that all the US dollars connected to legitimate commerce are backed by gold at the rate of 1/28th of a gram per dollar.

An individual calling himself “Chris” has apparently decided to debate me. I will post this debate right here on the front page of Independent American News.

At first “Chris” wanted to see me go to prison then changed his mind and wants the IRS to come and collect all the money I “owe” for allegedly not paying income tax. Although I pay every cent I owe, for some reason he believes I owe more. Therefore I have decided to allow him to prove I owe more than what I pay.

Resorting to belittling and calling names. Very Christian of you. Don’t worry, I’ll pray for you.

What does me defining what a dollar is, have to do with the setting sun? Keep looking for loopholes through technicalities… it ain’t gonna round up the cattle.

Your tinfoil hat couldn’t fit any better.

You babe, not me, are the one making claims. It is for you to make proof… not me. Oh yeah, you said you would start. Feel free .. come on in the water is warm.

If you are as wise as you claim.. take advantage.. prove to all… your little flies of this country and you will reap a fortune.

Go for it big guy.

My answer and question are:

I belittle ignorance. I make no apologies for it. You want me to be a slave to the government. I will pray for you.

Toleration of voluntary slavery coupled with ignorance is why we have become a nation of slaves. I oppose tyranny in all its forms but against voluntary slavery I am adamant about its evils. Through your ignorance you have embraced this ultimate evil.

I take it this is your first question in the debate:

“What does me defining what a dollar is, have to do with the setting sun?”

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said: “The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”

You are obviously so handicapped. Let me try to expose the truth to you. Then you can attempt to answer my single question.

No American can accurately determine how much “income” they have if they do not know what monetary measurement unit to use in that calculation? They cannot. They cannot know how much “taxable income” they have either.

If you were a contractor and I wanted to hired you to build a house 25 measurements by 45 measurements by 18 measurements and wanted you to give me a firm bid on the price you could not do it because you do not know what a “measurement” is. You would demand to know if it was an inch or a foot or a meter or a cubit or a defined unit of measurement I was using in my calculations. Without such a defined measurement you could not give an accurate bid. The house could be smaller than a bread box to larger than the world itself.

The “dollar” is a measurement unit. It measures the amount of “value” of your labor, property, income, expenses, etc. If you do not know what the Congressionally established “value” of a dollar is then you cannot know or calculate the “value” of anything.

Congress has not declared that Federal Reserve Notes are “dollars.” They have declared the gold and silver coins they authorized in 31 USC 5112 to have their “value” on the coins themselves. These coins are currently being minted and are currently in circulation. The problem with this is that 5 one ounce U.S. legal tender silver dollars has a different value than 1 $5.00 U.S. legal tender gold coin.

50 silver “dollars” will not buy a $50.00 currently minted U.S. legal tender gold coin. Neither will a $50.00 Federal Reserve Note. So we cannot know which one is the “required” measurement unit that is “required” by law to use in the calculations.

A currently minted $50.00 U.S legal tender gold coin can be exchanged for approximately 1200 face value Federal Reserve Notes. A $20 Federal Reserve Note can be purchased for a “ONE DOLLAR” currently minted U.S. legal tender coin. This means that the measurement units to determine “value” have no established value. The original U.S. legal tender U.S. minted dollar was determined by Congress to be 371.25 grains of silver. That was the value of the U.S. dollar. This allowed for the Spanish milled “dollar” to be legal tender right along side the U.S. coin. In fact the U.S. Spanish milled “dollar” or “pieces of eight” was also a measurement unit.

We no longer have a “dollar” standard.

What we do know is that Federal Reserve Notes are not dollars. They are Legal Tender but so is a penny. A penny is not a dollar.

I have three letters from government officials. A letter from Senator Ensign. A letter from the Department of the Treasury. And a letter from Assemblyman Bob Beers their definitions. I have many more sources but they all say the same thing. Federal Reserve notes are not dollars.

The letter from the Treasury Department states:

“Federal Reserve notes are not dollars.”

Nevada Assemblyman Bob Beers’ letter states:

“No statute defines - or ever has defined - the ‘one dollar’ Federal Reserve Note ‘FRN’ as the ‘dollar,’ or even as a species of ‘dollar.’”

And Senator Ensign’s office’s letter quoted from Ballentines Law Dictionary, 3rd Edition (1969) and then repeated as a quote from American Jurisprudence, Volume 36, A§ 8. Promissory notes cannot be “dollars” and Federal reserve notes are “effectively non-interest-bearing promissory notes…” (See page three of Senator Ensign’s letter on page two of the definition section.) As stated in the letter in the section provided to the Senator from the Congressional Research Service:

American Jurisprudence, Volume 36, A§ 8 [T]he term “dollar” means money, since it is the unit of money in this country, and in the absence of qualifying words, it cannot mean promissory notes or bonds or other evidences of debt. The term also refers to specific coins of the value of one dollar. (27 Ohio Jur pp . 125, 126, A§ 3), (United States v. Van Auken, 96 US 366, 24 L ed 852)

Black’s Law, Second Pocket Edition (1996)
Federal reserve note. The paper currency in circulation in the United States. The notes are issued by the Federal Reserve Banks, are effectively non-interest-bearing promissory notes payable to bearer on demand, and are issued in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000.

Therefore, Federal Reserve Notes are not dollars and so cannot be legitimately used in the calculations of any possible income tax as filed on a 1040 from because the monetary measurement unit “dollar” is vague.

“. . . a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application, violates the first essential of due process of law.” Connally v. General Construction Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391.

Therefore the reason why “defining what a dollar is, [has] to do with the setting sun?” is because if you do not have a monetary measurement unit with a Congressional definition prescribed by law then no American can calculate their “income” or any other thing of value.

I now await your answer to the following question:

What is the “fair market value” of a $100 Federal Reserve Note as calculated in either gold U.S. legal tender coins or silver U.S. legal tender coins?

And as the Federal Reserve Note proceeds to die we hear the following from Great Britain:

Société Générale has advised clients to be ready for a possible “global economic collapse” over the next two years, mapping a strategy of defensive investments to avoid wealth destruction.

By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

Explosion of debt: Japan’s public debt could reach as much as 270pc of GDP in the next two years. A bullet train is pictured speeding past Mount Fuji in Fuji city, west of Tokyo Photo: Reuters

In a report entitled “Worst-case debt scenario”, the bank’s asset team said state rescue packages over the last year have merely transferred private liabilities onto sagging sovereign shoulders, creating a fresh set of problems.
Overall debt is still far too high in almost all rich economies as a share of GDP (350pc in the US), whether public or private. It must be reduced by the hard slog of “deleveraging”, for years.

‘Debt levels risk another crisis’

“As yet, nobody can say with any certainty whether we have in fact escaped the prospect of a global economic collapse,” said the 68-page report, headed by asset chief Daniel Fermon. It is an exploration of the dangers, not a forecast.
Under the French bank’s “Bear Case” scenario (the gloomiest of three possible outcomes), the dollar would slide further and global equities would retest the March lows. Property prices would tumble again. Oil would fall back to $50 in 2010.

Governments have already shot their fiscal bolts. Even without fresh spending, public debt would explode within two years to 105pc of GDP in the UK, 125pc in the US and the eurozone, and 270pc in Japan. Worldwide state debt would reach $45 trillion, up two-and-a-half times in a decade.

(UK figures look low because debt started from a low base. Mr Ferman said the UK would converge with Europe at 130pc of GDP by 2015 under the bear case).
The underlying debt burden is greater than it was after the Second World War, when nominal levels looked similar. Ageing populations will make it harder to erode debt through growth. “High public debt looks entirely unsustainable in the long run. We have almost reached a point of no return for government debt,” it said.

Inflating debt away might be seen by some governments as a lesser of evils.
If so, gold would go “up, and up, and up” as the only safe haven from fiat paper money. Private debt is also crippling. Even if the US savings rate stabilises at 7pc, and all of it is used to pay down debt, it will still take nine years for households to reduce debt/income ratios to the safe levels of the 1980s.

The bank said the current crisis displays “compelling similarities” with Japan during its Lost Decade (or two), with a big difference: Japan was able to stay afloat by exporting into a robust global economy and by letting the yen fall. It is not possible for half the world to pursue this strategy at the same time.
SocGen advises bears to sell the dollar and to “short” cyclical equities such as technology, auto, and travel to avoid being caught in the “inherent deflationary spiral”. Emerging markets would not be spared. Paradoxically, they are more leveraged to the US growth than Wall Street itself. Farm commodities would hold up well, led by sugar.

Mr Fermon said junk bonds would lose 31pc of their value in 2010 alone. However, sovereign bonds would “generate turbo-charged returns” mimicking the secular slide in yields seen in Japan as the slump ground on. At one point Japan’s 10-year yield dropped to 0.40pc. The Fed would hold down yields by purchasing more bonds. The European Central Bank would do less, for political reasons.

SocGen’s case for buying sovereign bonds is controversial. A number of funds doubt whether the Japan scenario will be repeated, not least because Tokyo itself may be on the cusp of a debt compound crisis.

Mr Fermon said his report had electrified clients on both sides of the Atlantic. “Everybody wants to know what the impact will be. A lot of hedge funds and bankers are worried,” he said.
